it's such a strange and oddly-structured game in some respects. i don't think anything approximating GTAO has ever existed or will exist again (VI online will almost certainly be drastically different, and IV online was embryonic compared to V's online mode).

I remember trying it a few times and as far as I can tell, as with rdr2, it was just driving around the same map and doing absolutely nothing interesting, I don't get it

it is a framework for hundreds of different things now. it was bare-bones in 2013, but began adding 'heists' and major missions in 2015, and now there are a bunch of them, along with 'businesses' that players can purchase/manage (with their own missions), around 800 vehicles to buy, a fake casino, races, and other stuff.

but that's just...gta, why does it need to be online? Why do I need to drive to a question mark or some shit to just do an expansion mission? Fallout did it right, just release new content and fuck off with some weird lobby bullshit

some missions require multiple players. 'free roam' public lobbies created their own subcultures and presumably boosted 'engagement,' leading to more profits for rockstar games.

I was sick for a few weeks, bought gta online, and ended up grinding the drug lord island and casino heists, bought every business, the mansion, etc.
insanely intricate
tycoon game with multiple layers of passive and active income, and also random nigs in weaponized flying motorcycles can kill you with missiles while you’re profit-maximizing

there is even a small bonus for destroying cargo being delivered by other players, leading to invite-only and solo lobbies for people who didn't want to deal with that.

haha dude yeah i love that there are high skilled sadists in the public lobbies griefing your $2mm cargo delivery for like $4k. my adrenaline was through the roof during those missions
