You're mad that the online component of GTAV had premium currency microtransactions? Just don't buy them. Also, there are loads of single player mods for V, don't know what you mean.
No, they're mad that any singleplayer content planned for GTA 5 (and RDR2) in the past decade was abandoned for the money printing machine that is GTA Online. There's issues to be had with premium currencies (more specifically the stuff that usually goes along with them like lootboxes), but that's not just a GTA thing.
Also, just because other people created content for a game through mods doesn't mean we should give the company that made the game credit. That's like praising a Bethesda game based on a total overhaul mod somebody made.
This is a weird fucking place, bro.
Like, I thought reddit was full of bitter cynics, but only on Lemmy could I find an entire GAMING community that is angry at the next GTA game.
This place must be full of 55+ year olds or something.
You can't join into multiplayer/gta online unless you disable all mods. For a live service that needs loading Individually it still doesn't operate as good as it should especially when they have the funds for it. They dont care for the player experience. After 4 times having to enable, test and disable mods just to play online with friends, I dropped gta V all together. Wasn't worth co figuring 150+ mods just to have them all break when you have to disable them.
That's to be expected. But if you only play games because mods exist, do you even like the games you play?
if you're that dedicated to mods and online multi, you should probably have two systems. Of course mods aren't gonna play nice with an online mutli.
