oh DEAR fucking god.......................
Ok I'm going to be honest, I have never before really played online console games. I only played Little Big Planet, but that's basically you running the levels online together with company. It was really fun, but we didn't really talk to each other, nor really need each other's help to beat the level.
Anyway, after playing enough GTA Online to get to rank 20 I have 2 MAJOR gripes:
1) How can they fuck up the game lobby SO MUCH. First of all automatching works like SHIT. This is a game that has sold 35 million copies....you're honestly telling me I can't find people to play a deathmatch against?
Instead of building a lobby where you can join games and quickly fill up a room, you have this STUPID system of ONLY being able to invite either A) people in your game session (so 15 people) or B) People in your crew (and we have no idea how that works exactly) or C) People of your skill level......
Is it so hard for me to click quick job->random job and to be added to the lobby with the most players ready to go and play?
Seriously guys this is why PC gamers make fun of console gaming. It works for single player stuff and local play, but the online infrastructure just SUCKS. It's slow as hell to load, and worst of all people who play it on xbox pay a subscription for this shit? And you guys just TOOK it? No sorry, even if I buy a PS4 I'm not paying to play online, the experience simply sucks.
2) What's the point of the free roam mode, if I can't explore the world while we are waiting for other players to join our game? Seriously, it takes for ever to invite people and for them to join, why can't I enjoy driving my dune buggy though the desert to pass the time?
And a minor gripe:
Kids who haven't hit puberty yet (they sounded like 11 at best) playing a freaking 18+ game. And it wasn't so bad when I met some Italian kids which I couldn't understand what they were saying, but damn British kids, WTF are their mothers doing? And why do none of the adults have mics for their PS3s and it's only the little kids who do?
