It is though, you spend 15 minutes waiting to connect to their shitty servers
Get a better PC. It doesn't take me 15 minutes to get into the game.
that require you to install a Kernel level anti-cheat that does nothing as cheaters are still in lobbies
1. That's not true, modders are almost entirely gone, I haven't encountered one in weeks, before the anti cheat it was several times a day, in pretty much every session.
2. How would you even know that, unless you are actively playing the game? How do you know so much about the game, unless you've invested a considerable amount of time into the game? Why would you do that if the game is such garbage? If a game was such obvious garbage, I would immediately leave.
just to play boring drive to A, shoot people, drive to B missions after spending 10 minutes waiting for menus to load all the while you listen to boring dialogue that was hand crafted to be as loud and obnoxious as possible whilst saying very little and being extremely inoffensive.
And how is that different from GTAV or any other GTA game? Yeah the game gets repetitive, and it's nothing ground-breaking. Some of the characters are really obnoxious. But you sound like someone, who doesn't like GTAV or GTA in general to begin with.
Serious question, are you gay? Cause you kinda sound gay.
It's just busy work trying to LARP as a game, GTA online is shit because GTA V is shit and GTA VI is going to be just as shit.
Ok, so you don't like GTAV. Then why are you arguing with me? I said if you like GTAV, you would probably not think that GTA Online is garbage. But you dislike both. Like I said earlier, you need to pay attention. Hell, why are you even here if you hate GTAV so much and think GTAVI will be shit, too? Why do you know so much about GTA Online when you hate both GTAV and GTA Online? You sound like me when I was playing WoW.
Are you gay?
I'll eat my words if VI comes out with the same level of destructible environments that Red Faction Guerrilla did back in 2009.
You could also eat a dick.
What do you mean, it's extremely easy to do so. When it released it was a bare-bones barren grind-fest that had payouts reduced to incentivize shark cards
Good that we live in the year 2025 and not 2013, retard. I don't like shark cards, I'm just saying you don't need to buy any cause they throw money at you every time you blink. The game might have been grindy back then and lacked content, but prices for items were also a lot lower. I think the most expensive things were like 1 million or something. And you didn't have so many things in the game that you would want to buy, like today, where some of it even unlocks new content, like the Kosatka. A lot of things were really cheap, therefore required very little "grinding" and were purely cosmetic. So even if there was an incentive for sharkcards back in the day, even you admit, that they changed that. So what more could they do? What does it matter how little content the game had back then? You live today, and not back then.
you go on about all the "free stuff" that got added and all of it was stuff that should have been in the game on launch
Are you dumb? The stuff they added over the course of 12 years to the free Online portion of a singleplayer game should have been in right from the start? How? With the use of magic?
then blue balled everyone who wanted heist for over a year
Oh my god an entire year. So you hated GTAV, then played Online, hated it, and then eagerly waited a year for them to release heists?
then when they came out they were the definition of monotony
And then you even played through them? That's how much you hated GTAV and Online? Heists are really cool. I especially like the Prison Heist and the Pacific Standard from the original ones. They can be frustrating, especially with the technical aspects and with unreliable players, but when everything comes together smoothly, they feel incredibly satisfying.
whereas the "best" heist for Online has you stealing from a drug lords island that you have to spend millions on just to be able to start.
I don't know man. In the Doomsday Heist, you literally save the world from Elon Musk, his rogue AI, his clones and his cyborg soldiers, entering his hideout with a big tank and then at the end escape with flying rocket jetpacks.
And the price for the Kosatka is not that high, after doing like two rounds of Cayo Perico, you have it back. And you also still have the Kosatka and everything it offers. It's not just money invested to unlock the Heist, you also get a fucking submarine. You can shoot rockets from it and guide them through the city. And it has Pavel. If you don't like Pavel, I think you really are gay.
And the concept for Cayo Perico was really cool, a lot of freedom in how you want to do it, just the execution was a bit flawed. At the end of the day, there is not much of a point in making use of the diversity the island has to offer, when the best way to go about it, to make the most money as possible, is one specific path. Then again, how can you fix it? There's always going to be a best way to do it.
But again, you are incredibly knowledgable about a game you claim to hate. I think you invested quite a bit of time into both GTAV and GTA Online, and you are quite invested in the GTA franchise. If you really dislike GTAV and GTA Online, you wouldn't still be playing. I think somewhere in the last years, Rockstar hurt your feelings and you became bitter, but unable to let go.
For your own good, you should stop playing the game.
