I think I will be going full pirate after this. Yet another game is released un tested and no stress load, they only had 5 years..

Music, movies and now games. I'm not paying for shit anymore.

I've played the game at least four hours (at least once double that) everyday since I got it, even days I've worked. Took a break today and didn't touch it. Gonna hop on tomorrow before work and do some more actual missions and quit just fucking around so much lol.
PS3 breh? Or you got the Xbox

i was on the gta forums at work and from like 3am - 5am ppl said it was working for ps3, then it stopped again. thats not a good sign.... i cant imagine there being a massive amount of people at that hour during a wednesday morning. if they cant even support that... then friday nights and weekends, uh oh

fuck i hope it works and soon, i have the next 2days off and online is 90% of the reason i got the game. i bought this ps3 for gta4 but by then the online for it was dead. i wanted to get in when it was fresh thats why i bought gta5 day one, only to learn i had to wait 2 weeks for online, now all of this bullshit. this is grueling, lol

You would be surprised at how many people would go to work or school tired just to get a little head start at launch lol. Doesnt surprise me that the first day was a flop especially since its Rockstar. They at least shouldve done some stress test but honestly i think thats why they started it on a tuesday. So they can test it and get running by the weekend.
Pretty smart move is they planned it that way.

ive noticed game play has changed considerably. cars seem slower and way easier to control. cars get damaged super easy now. i got a fresh car and kicked/ meleed it and after a few kicks it was already smoking and wouldn't start. also if you damage the front of your car now it seems to fuck up the transmission and your acceleration turns to shit, the shifting starts missing like you have a bad tranny. cops cant hit you for shit any more when before they had like 98% accuracy. i literally stood in one place surrounded by cops for at least 20 seconds with 3 stars before i died finally. if your tire is popped and you try to turn you do weird shit like a double donut or your car accelerates rapidly in reverse for some reason. cops puncture your gas tank, the gas creates a trail that ignites, you instantly explode before you can react. wanted stars seem to vanish really fast now and cops cant find you for shit. cars seem really 'light' now if that makes any sense

this is fuckin weird

my tinfoil hat is on and i think GTAO never worked to begin with. thats probably the real reason they pushed it back 2 weeks so they could try to fix it. also its very strange that these guys are getting ZERO negative press behind this. when sim city 5 came out, EA got bashed in the media.
im with butcher tho, online was the real reason why i bought this game.
