  • Discourse_Stu serial experiments stu 🖥️🍂 (@Discourse_Stu) reported

    One of my hotter takes is that GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas don't really hold up and Rockstar's core open world design/structure problems have been there from the start, it just didn't become obvious until the novelty wore off.

  • thepinkfloydian thepinkfloydian (@thepinkfloydian) reported

    @Ms_Michelle_Roy @TTChelps @PRESTOcard This wasn't a problem for the decades of Metropasses plainly showing "Child", "Adult" or "Student". People have not been robbed in the entirety of the remainder of the GTA where this information has been shown since Presto started.

  • Discourse_Stu serial experiments stu 🖥️🍂 (@Discourse_Stu) reported

    Old GTA games don't hold up, but new ones, and all their clones and peers, have all the same problems and worse! Emblematic of our era all the time and tech spent on hair physics and horse testicles and 500hrs of algorithmic Content but all the ambition of design is gone

  • Foxsan48 Mx. Lottie (Charlotte) 💜🦊 (she/her) (@Foxsan48) reported

    @juliawritescode @__eater__ alt key holding seems to pause loading of things in GTA as it doesn't expect you to move far before switching characters, thus if you keep moving, police will struggle to shoot you as you get further away but also it can cause rendering issues like textures not loading.

  • brahim_djaber Brahim Djaber (@brahim_djaber) reported

    @RockstarGames Hello, I have a problem with the legendary animals that you find in the free mode. I go to their site and I do not find them, such as maza, winyan bison and others. I did everything I could and I did not find them even my friends have the same problem, but to no avail. Please

  • Coreyblake90 Corey Thompson (@Coreyblake90) reported

    @RockstarSupport I'm having issues joining a session in Red Dead Online. Please fix this issue relatively fast.

    @RockstarGames HEY, quit sucking GTA’s hairy **** and fix THE RDR photo gallery, tired of all my photos corrupting just so you can make another clown car dlc. Thanks…… #RedDeadOnline #RedDeadRedemption2

  • ToadassSlugotti Valentine Pilman (@ToadassSlugotti) reported

    @Discourse_Stu GTA 3’s mission structure was a lot less linear. The problems really start around IV where it was their way or the highway.

    @RockstarSupport pls fix the session issues on read dead online thnx

  • HystericsDX casper (@HystericsDX) reported

  • showdemandvalu1 showdemandvalue (@showdemandvalu1) reported

    @JustinTrudeau @kishida230 Justin Trudeau drives into **** pile scandals on a weekly basis. But the GTA keeps electing him - what are you zeroes from Toronto & Montreal going to do to fix this problem

  • Detective335 Detective335 (@Detective335) reported

    R* is already in risk before the release of gta 6. Because of sooo long time. Anticipation of this game is just at some another level. If R* disappoints on this. It's going to be the big trouble for R*.

  • nadinesdaughter daytona 🕸️was HavenMaven01 (@nadinesdaughter) reported

    @de_stroya I've never had sound problems while on any console tbh and I've played GTA Online on both my PS and my brother's Xbox One and they were flawless in terms of sound

  • danielnater16 Daniel Pederson (@danielnater16) reported

    @RockstarSupport @RockstarGames I just had a hacker grief my cargo and then crashed my game, is there anything y'all can do about this stuff? I run into a hacker 95% of the time I login and play gta 5, this is getting really annoying. #GTAOnline

  • _preciosaa_ Natalie 💕 (@_preciosaa_) reported

    I played GTA & Crash on my sons PSA for about an hour. Once I started to play GTA I got nauseous and my head started to hurt.

  • An_tea_fa tima 🇵🇸💕 (@An_tea_fa) reported

    @shiraonthewall GTA would be the bloke who would get your car and crash it and gaslight you to say it’s your fault

  • TokolosheKid Keagan (@TokolosheKid) reported

    @XboxSupport I have this problem on the series X where if I try to install games like "Apex Legends" or "Gta" it keeps on saying installation stopped, what must I do I have 687 Gb free also

  • William85351792 Williams Robert (@William85351792) reported

    @ujusdied0032 @RockstarSupport I had the same problem some weeks back I contacted crank_tech7 on Instagram or watsapp 518-513-6776 they helped me out you should contact them as soon as possible

  • jravee_ jravee (@jravee_) reported

    looking at all these ENB mods for san andreas and it’s like i think you’re going to need a little more than post processing to fix the blob creatures that are GTA 3D era character models

  • TimJame72461258 Tim James (@TimJame72461258) reported

    @RockstarGames if you’re going to continue milking GTA 5 at least fix the ****.

  • KatKf1942 Screaming into the Void (@KatKf1942) reported

    @grantstern That happened with GTA NoPixel. Someone got all mad and took down GTA Nopixel. No one could login all day. They also took over the twitter account. Started posting about how No Pixel is being shutdown. Goes to show ya, gotta be skeptical about these non-scientific things.

    Why doesn't Rockstar Game block players who deliberately make trouble in the gta open battle?Those 8000-level accounts are obviously players who maliciously exploit vulnerabilities.They can even directly crash the game software of other players in the battle.

  • 4Hellstorm 47HELLSTORM (@4Hellstorm) reported

    @RockstarGames Please youtube Off The Radar glitch RDR2 online and explain to me how this has been around since beta!!?!!? RockStar are you encouraging this because you certainly aren’t stopping it!!!! WTF

  • BeekayKitty Caleb Fathers (@BeekayKitty) reported

    @CatspressoLood @CharanFlameTail GTA Online's main issue is that it enables the griefers. They copied Saints Row, and a lot of people who played the older titles are wondering what ******** the game has become. GTA Online was FANTASTIC in the pre Oppressor days.

  • JoshDeveson Legend of Josh (@JoshDeveson) reported

    Super SMASH Bros Ultimate Final DLC Fighter Presentation is on late night 1AM here. Predictions; Sora (original Digimon, not Kingdom Hearts :P), Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Rayman, Neku (TWEWY), Fortnite Guy, Lara Croft, Resident Evil Lady, Trevor (GTA V), Conker, or Master Chief! 💥
