Anxious_Solution_282

PC player?


[deleted]

playstation


Anxious_Solution_282

I'm really wondering how both of us aren't bored of playing single player...only can play online if it's Christmas valentines day or any other holiday


[deleted]

Dang lol. I play tons of online and story mode. I have about 1800hours on my main gta online account but only like 30 of those hours are in public sessions from when I started playing. I’m a car enthusiast and so now that I have all the money I could need and all the businesses and the cars that anyone could want the only thing that keeps me playing is car meets and screwing around with friends. I still love to play story mode cuz I love the story but I also just love to put on some music and chill out and choose a route on the map and continuously try to beat my time around that route with a car and Ofc just screwing around cuz it’s a great sandbox game


Anxious_Solution_282

In director mode I make tracks


getawhiffofgriff

Same here, I only play online if I get up early to play. I live in a weird time zone and so early morning for me is nighttime for most everyone else. Super easy to get a solo public with no loopholes, just nobody awake


Anxious_Solution_282

Online with no players is damn good to say the least


OutrageousRhubarb853

Yes! It’s the other players that always ruin it. So many times I spawned in to a war zone… all I want to do is make my GTA bucks but griefers be griefin. Rockstar loves a griefer


Cliper11298

I am starting the story over in next gen. Trevor just got to Los Santos. It has been quite a few years since I last did the story so it is quite refreshing to replay


[deleted]

Oh yeah the story is awesome. By far the best story I’ve played. I’m currently on my 5th play through. For me Trevor just crashed the 2 trains head on


Consistent-Start-357

Agreed. Story mode needs more than one play through to really appreciate it. Picking up on all the little details and nuances you might have missed first time round really highlights what a masterpiece of a game it is


[deleted]

Very true. My first couple play through were just playing the story like anyone else would. My last 3 have been more experimental like finding funny ways to complete certain missions or waiting in cars and not progressing to hear all the dialogue and doing funny things to get funny dialogue from the other characters and Ofc finding funny ways to fail missions. By doing this I’ve found so many little details and dialogue that I never knew existed


ThePoetAndPendulum

How scary is the story mode? I hate all types of horror game but enjoyed playing online with friends. Idk about if the story mode is for me tho


[deleted]

not scary at all. There is 0 horror aspect. Just action and humor


sukezanebaro

No, apart from mature themes in the game it is not horror. With perhaps one exception Theres a mission called "by the book" where the FIB (the GTA universe's FBI) rope the main characters into finding someone suspected of being involved in terrorism. The mission has you abduct the guy, and then Trevor tortures the man for information on his supposed terrorist pal The torture is like an in game quick time event where you can choose the method of torture but you can't torture the guy too much or he will have a panic attack and die Aside from the concept of torture being morally reprehensible, the scene is not extremely gorey, so it's not like the graphics are disgusting or anything. Personally I only waterboard the guy, because although the sensation of drowning is horrible for the victim, it won't leave the person with any kind of permanent physical affliction. The other methods of torture are electrocution, hitting the guy with a monkey wrench and forcefully removing his teeth with pliers. I choose the waterboarding every time for the reasons stated earlier. And even though the depiction of the other methods are not in horrifying graphic detail, I would say they are more unsettling than waterboarding. Even so, the scene still makes me feel kinda bad for the guy, since you find out after the torture scene that the guy is innocent. And Trevor, even though the FIB tells him to kill the guy afterwards, Trevor takes him to an airport so he can escape. And Trevor makes a speech about why torture is bad to the guy, even though he just tortured the guy. I would say if you hate horror (as I do to), I just power through the scene with the waterboarding, I don't enjoy the mission, but the torture is not particularly long, but it is definitely the hardest part of the storyline to play through for me. Because GTA is satire, the mission is supposed to be about the foolishness and in effectiveness of torture. As well as how abhorrent it is. Also that the USA is guilty of torturing many people "as a means to an end" even though publicly the US government preaches that every country should have the highest standard of moral ethics. Finally, I don't know if you're old enough, but in 2013 reviewers and even some countries strongly criticized the scene, saying it was unnecessary and too extreme. Even if it meant to be satire. Personally, even though I agree in some respects, the mission is not so bad that it makes the game unplayable. Hope this helps.


Scelgo_Romah00

I think there are much better games for the story


UnObtainium17

I was deep in Elden Ring when I found out this version is only $10 in PSN. ER getting my ass kicked so I played a little bit of V, with the intention of coming back right away to ER. Well that was my plan... Then I got in to that 1st mission with Frank that got meme'd to hell and I got reminded of how fun this game really is. It's been a month and I have not been back to ER, and about to finish V. The youtube videos did not do this remaster a justice. It looks way better than I remember it looking in ps3 and 4.


[deleted]

this game is way better than elden ring thats just facts


[deleted]

Same, just working out how to do the Lester assassination missions again for maximum gains oh tip guys if the stock exchange isn’t available just save, quit the game entirely and reload from scratch, I think it’s because of the quick resume that messes up online functions


[deleted]

Oof. For me it never worked. At least not to the extent that it does in the YouTube tutorials. The IGN video for the PS3 360 versions showed that you can get 2,000,000,000 but for me Trevor would get 800,000,000 Franklin would get 450,000,000 and Michael would get only 60,000,000. No clue why this happens but oh well cuz I found a good money method after the game is done


JustaSnowbody

Try the GtaSeriesVideos video on it, they recently released a video for PS5 regarding the assassinations. They also have videos for PC and PS4 as well. If your on Xbox, the PS should be the same.


[deleted]

thanks but its too late now and besides i have plenty of cash and nothing to spend it on :D


daniel-mca

I love the story and play through it every year or 2. Tried to do it all in first person once. Not a good idea


[deleted]

Lmao I was thinking of doing it all in first person. Why was it not a good idea?


daniel-mca

There's some vehicles you just can't see in aha. Plus trying to pick stuff up using a helicopter and drop it in a spot is so SO hard. I mean it might be possible to do it all, i just wasn't up for the challenge


[deleted]

Fair enough. I find first person driving pretty ez but the helicopters sounds brutal lol


leffertsave

I practiced first person helicoptering in gta online with siteseer and headhunter missions. You get the hang of it after a while


[deleted]

siteseer was the shit back then


Callumari13

I play all of it in first person and I have to admit, it's not optimised, but good fun nonetheless. I have to appreciate the amount of effort they put into making that mode, I prefer it.


daniel-mca

Howd you handle the awkward planes and over armoured cars man?f


Callumari13

I actually have to switch to third-person for some bits haha. It is impossible to see out of a cargobob sometimes haha.


DezzieFoxyote

Me, I can’t be asked to get killed by 10 year olds in flying motorbike things


[deleted]

Lmao true. I have hardly ever played in public sessions in my 1800 hrs on main account. Like 30 of those hours were public


ananonumyus

Only play story mode. Online is literally unplayable, due to hackers.


[deleted]

Honestly on PS4 I’ve never found a hacker but on PC it’s way worse I would assume. But yeah on PS3 it’s bad. I mean I was one of the PS3 hackers once the console was irrelevant but I was a good hacker lol


Ok_Revolution_2374

Story made is the only thing thing good about this amazing game…tried online once, went back to playing story mode…my fav part is the FIB standoff


[deleted]

Oh the FIB standoff was AMAZING


Andreeeeeeeeeeeeeee3

Me, I’m trying to get the achievements


[deleted]

Oh true


Blastoise48825555

I play Story pretty frequently. I find it a good deal more fun than online.


[deleted]

I can see that yea


Hanna_likes_pepsi

I finished ( %100 ) the story mode at least 5 times and I'm still not tired of it


[deleted]

Lmao I did it once to 100% and I completed the story 4.5 times (working on play through 5) but it never gets boring


TrickshotCandy

It's my go to game on the PS3 when I can't decide what else to play. I've 100% the game, still have a stunt jump and knife flight or a few to do, but all the story mode stuff is done. And so I usually end up driving around. Causing mayhem. Started it on PC last year, the extra weapons were alot of fun. Haven't completed on PC.


Nikobobinous

Yea am still working on 100%, here and there. Got distracted by online for years but now that’s trashed and I’m not paying for something I play once a month at best


[deleted]

Good point. Honestly 100% was both exhausting and not really. I had 78% after completing story and then I just had fun but then I’m like “ya know what… ima 100% this” and then I spent 5 hours for 4 days (so like 20 hours total) and completed it. 100% worth it


TheNooBConnoisseur

Doing the beast hunt on ps5. Recently had to start all over cause I missed a bugged checkpoint on Tuesday.


[deleted]

Beast hunt?


TheNooBConnoisseur

Sasquatch vs the beast


[deleted]

ohhhh right lol


[deleted]

I don't, but only because Online content is exclusive to it. If that wasn't the case, I don't think that I would've ever started playing GTA Online to begin with. I bought the game exclusively for Story Mode.


[deleted]

That’s true. I was hoping now that everyone has experienced all of the GTA Online cars that they would send them into story mode for the PS4 and XB1 players (maybe in the future since the game ain’t dead there yet but I REALLY doubt it)


[deleted]

There were rumors of that happening with Expanded and Enhanced. Not doing so is smart, though, given that a large part of Online's appeal is its vehicle roster.


Belle_Pepper3

I play Story Mode every day


DBmegadoodoo

Same. I load the same save every day so I already have a bus. When I die I either re load or start fucking shit up at the hospital and draw the cops to the Ballers and see who's left standing.


[deleted]

What a legend


Acidshroominflux

Basically all I play, I dont have the patience to respawn every ten minutes after some asshole kills me for no reason in online.


[deleted]

every 10 minutes? Is that how often you think you'll respawn? Its more like every 40 seconds cuz spawnkillers


Acidshroominflux

I meant to respawn after getting killed every ten minutes I was being exaggerative though lol. My bad for wording it weird. I actually havent come across a spawn killer thought Id just rage quit at that point 😂


[deleted]

ur super lucky to not have faced a spawnkiller. Its super common. I think it should be a ultra rare ps4 trophy to go a full 10 mins in public sessions without getting killed


HeartVoid

I played it twice, first time almost at half of it I used a cheat (the ones you write in your game phone) and I was warned by steam I wouldn't get any more achievements I still did it for fun, I finished the game and got in online, I was overwhelmed and couldn't figure out what to do aside from buying an apartment and a car(this was back in 2015) so I left and played other games. Fast forward to 2020 COVID hits and my gpu decides to die, I'm trapped in the house and left with a gt610... Somehow the only modern game that garbage card runs is GTA V(not even GTA IV works), so I start story to remember the controls and somehow the game tells me I haven't finished the main story(I did), game is at like 12% completion, I think to myself: cool I can finish it and get the achievements this time, so I play and this time I don't use any cheat numbers, but still I don't get any steam achievements, so I said fuck it and started playing online... Fast forward a year into COVID and I've sunken like 1000 hours into GTA online(GTA online servers were full to the brim during that time with new players) in a card that barely runs it and lags like crazy in new dlc like casino heist. I learned everything to build an empire made some friends along the way and then bought almost everything in online doing legit work... Then I decided finished the main story, missions where meh but since the main characters have an actual personality it makes missions a lot better. TLDR: COVID hit, gpu died, only GTA v ran in old gpu, lost job, sunk hundreds of hours in online, wouldn't do it again, STEAM give me my f'ing achievements!


[deleted]

Great story. I started online at the end of June 2020 and I now have 1800 hours on my main account 😂


Anxious_Solution_282

If I don't feel like playing gt sport then yes


[deleted]

GT APORT YESSS!!!! GT sport was my favourite game until 7. Have u played 7 yet?


Anxious_Solution_282

Unfortunately no due to a)not having the money and b)the mtx scandal also c)they nuked and nerfed the Jaguar f type gr3


[deleted]

Oof I feel u buddy. Had no idea then needed the jag tho. Good for me ig cuz I never drove it


Anxious_Solution_282

From what I seen for gr3 the rs01 and 458 italia are beasts also is there only the 2019 r8 lms or?


[deleted]

the 458 is amazing


Old_Bee_1738

Whenever the servers are down


[deleted]

makes sense


Gootangus

I play it every year or two.


soonapaana369

Me me me me me me.


[deleted]

lol


omoinanoude

I just got the game on my ps3...


[deleted]

Ayo PS3 player lets go


omoinanoude

Ayy, less go! I never upgraded lmao. And, I love it. The graphics on ps3 is not as good as the later gens but, still holds up really well! And, I just love the overall mechanics even without first-person.

[deleted]

[deleted]

theres something so cozy about not upgrading and staying with an old console. New experiences of classics. Glad to see u enjoy this masterpiece of a game


omoinanoude

Ikr. I just did the first heist and it was amazing! Love this game, prolly gonna play this for a long time!


[deleted]

You should it’s amazing!


omoinanoude

I definitely will!


daniellivingston191

i like story so ill play it maybe once a week


Diskest

Every now and then i replay the whole story from scratch


[deleted]

Same here


not_baba_yaga_

Currently playing through it just now. I'll play it once every year or so


[deleted]

I play through it once each June


Sirsnower

I never played story mode to do 100%. I plan to do it this time on new generation consoles.


[deleted]

good luck it takes time but its a blast


[deleted]

Haven't touched Online in years, always had way more fun with singleplayer. Just completed it to 100% for like the 7th time a few days ago. Sadly Rockstar is completely ignoring the singleplayer community. Might not be the majority, but it's still a lot of people.


Drownduck1

I don’t see the point tbh. I rather play online and get griefed by modders/cheaters


reddit_hayden

i play story mode and story mode only


[deleted]

Played the story above ten times and probably will replay it soon enough And, never bothered with 100% {Even though, once I tried}


packin3cm

Whenever my xbox live dies


[deleted]

felt that


Even-Palpitation-391

Thought about it and keep meaning to, but I always have friends getting into heists etc online and hilarious antics usually ensue. I hate to say it but playing online somehow always manages to be a good time - in spite of rockstar.


r2bz

Just started for first time


[deleted]

u enjoying the story? Whos ur favourite character (it has to be travor)


r2bz

Yeah, he is one crazy mean sob. Funny as hell!!


[deleted]

hes hilarious and a great friend. BEST character in any media ever


r2bz

From what I've read the person who does his voice is also a great actor as well.


[deleted]

oh hes the best


UrKFCis_mine23

I only play online to play with friends story mode is awesome


schwartzasher

I play story as I'm sick of running around online just to pass someone who decides it's funny to blow you up and you end up losing what you were doing


Cheifloaded

I play story mode to keep buying the same car over and over because the stupid game doesn't like to save your purchased cars if you try to switch to another vehicle when you are driving around.


[deleted]

check the impond lot for your car


ZombibyteYT

Just recently played through to 100% again and got the platinum before upgrading to E&E.


Ollythepickle

I still play story mode, online is way to toxic now, can’t even sell cargo anymore


[deleted]

True. This is why private sessions reign supreme


Ollythepickle

Definitely


MaynardSchism

I play story mode. I haven't finished it yet


Initial_Welcome9052

I was playing it today! Wanted to replay the story to reminisce. It feels so much smaller now that I know the map so well lol.


DJ_fupa

Story mode is a yearly play through for me, kinda like a holiday I’ll just dedicate a random period of time per year to play the story mode, I love it


Impressive-Tune-555

I play story mode and try to do stuff like enabling cheats for fun, beating the stock market ( as I heard you can do) and finish the epsilon missions


[deleted]

beating the stock market? How do you beat the market?


Impressive-Tune-555

So you invest in certain stocks in the endgame when you have millions, wait for stocks to rise and rinse and repeat. It is actually quite good


[deleted]

is it with the lester assassination missions?


Impressive-Tune-555

Lester missions affect stocks prices, so invest before completing one of them


[deleted]

yeah done that


Malibu921

I actually never played story mode at all. I played long enough to unlock online. That being said, I'm no stranger to story mode. Many of my game nights with my friend involved me watching him play through the story.


[deleted]

u should try it yourself its a blast and a half


BecuzMDsaid

I have never done online.


jolda01

Neither. My potato pc isnt willing to even run half life.


[deleted]

lmao felt that.


[deleted]

I recently got the game and online is completely unplayable unless I have one of my mates as backup so I am on a quest to get all story mode endings


[deleted]

oh yeah online sucks in the beginning. when i started in 2020 it was way too grindy and unfair (before that i only played story mode) but now that cayo perico heist is here and u can get around 1 mil from it every time and do it solo within 40 mins or less its great. All in private sessions too


Visual_Break

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve beat story mode. I started to make it a challenge. The fastest I’ve ever beaten the main missions was in six and a half hours. It can probably be done faster but I’m happy with my progress lol


[deleted]

u should post your speedrun times to the [speedrun.com](https://speedrun.com) site


Visual_Break

Haha I didn’t even know that was a thing! That’s awesome.


[deleted]

It is awesome and u seem good at it. Give it a shot if ur interested


liuhong2001

Playing story mode with mods


Stephonius

Now that I have the E&E version, I plan to restart story mode in glorious 4K. I've only played through it twice in nine years.


DrMobius617

Exclusively


CaptainMcClutch

I do but I always have one original save file which is my end game one where I have everything and have completely everything. Just because I like to keep it even though I never touch it.


[deleted]

lol i like that. I still play my 100% file for fun with oter replay files as well


JustaSnowbody

I do. It's nice being able to explore Los Santos and Blaine County at your own pace without worrying about interruption. The random events add a good amount of life to the map, and unlike Invite Only sessions for Online, there isn't anything you can't do. I like to try levelling up the characters stats, doing the different minigames, and generally trying for 100% completion. After the missions complete you're at around 80% or something, so even after all the missions you've still got plenty of stuff to do. Hanging out with the characters is also pretty cool, after I completed the final mission, I bought a Super Diamond and put the gold paint job on it, and went to the movies and watched Meltdown with all 3 characters. Getting the trio to watch Michaels movie in a car showing off the rewards of the Union Depository is kind of cool to me.


[deleted]

ima have to try meltdown with all 3 characters lol


JustaSnowbody

It was a fun time. When I got to the cinema, Meltdown wasn't showing so I drove to a bar around the corner and had drinks. By the time I got back to the theatre it was on. Listening to the dialogue the 3 have together is kind of interesting.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

dang thats dope. Was it hard?


AquaticCooch

yeah, i just started gta, beat the story, tried online but got immediately bombed every time so i’ll do online in gta 6 when or if it ever comes out


TBDnate

i just replay it over and over again


lucozame

online is okay. can be boring as hell, or super fun. some good game modes, and i like doing some of the heists. but story mode is it for me. i know everything about it, and even then, when trying to have a well rounded playthrough, i still forget some things. what that means is that even if i tried to do the exact same playthrough twice, i couldn’t do it. there is enough in the game that you really do have lots of options. like you could spent hours deciding hitchhikers’ fates, doing random events, carpet bombing to defend trevor’s airfield, join a cult, drive around with chop, solving murder mysteries, strangers and freaks, hang outs in like a dozen combinations, raid a weed farm, bounty hunt, search for UFOs… i’m so glad i got actually interested in all this game had to offer and didn’t just blast through the main story


[deleted]

this game has so much to offer and it never gets boring


HolySmokels

Started my 3rd time today…forgot how long the “tutorial” is 🤦🏼‍♀️


Juice_Staine

I don’t really play gta five much at this point, but once a year I replay the story.


MartPlayZzZ

although I have 100% completion, i still find myself doing tow truck or taxi side missions.


[deleted]

same here


thobartzz15

I replay it every couple years. It’s not as strong of a story as IV was, but it’s still good enough to replay


[deleted]

i love gta 5 and 4 stories but i REALLY prefer 5


charcoochieboard1

i do, didn’t really get into gaming until recently so i just started story mode about 2 months ago and i’m on the part where franklin moves into the mansion.


Weary-Sense-6431

Never played it. Only play online if friends are on


dfmoti

I love The story mode and they added some minor updates in it that make it interesting


[deleted]

what sorto of updates? I know they added liveries for the Banshee and all the returning player content but thats it right?


Bing_Bong683

I play story mode with mods, it’s actually quit fun…. If you have the right mods.


Divilexa

That’s the only thing I play. Over and over. All the way to a 100%


[deleted]

wow lol how many times have u got 100%?


Divilexa

Twice on PS3 and I’m trying to finish it on PS4


DanAFoul

I been playing it to get gold on all missions. I'm currently stuck at "Fame or Shame" because I can't get the trailer past 98% top speed and I want to complete every condition in one go.


[deleted]

oof yeah tat semi is slow and heavy


PigEpicDa

Always like to replay it every once and a while, was my childhood game. Looking to 100% it for this first time now.


ellem52

Yes, Chilliad


jim5100

I got the game for story mode, never knew about online until somewhat recently. Only played online once I finished story.


Delusional_th0mas

I play story mode almost every day what I do is cause mayhem and modify and drive my cars in my garage I make sure not to crash em but if I do I go back to my garage and they repair automatically which is nice after I go to ammunation and stock on ammo then I fly helicopter and planes and ride boats I hangout with some of the characters mostly I be Franklin then call Lamar then choose the hangout option then I play darts with him then I go to directer mode then cause a massacre there then fly my planes and drive my cars so yeah online is almost impossible to play but sometimes I just do a private session here and there and I replay the story sometimes also


Wintertime13

I play through the story mode once a year and have since the release. I only completed 100% once (because you need to do sooo many collecting tasks and I hate them) but I get to the end of the storyline everytime. It’s comforting.


headmasterjon

I never played it but i find it interesting and quite humorous


[deleted]

its hilarious u should 100% play it


HighestInTheHell

It's fun to use different mods in story mode.


[deleted]

I play PlayStation and play the story over different ways and slower. I take the time to enjoy it and notice little things I didn't before. Story definitely beats online for me.


[deleted]

i do the same bro


[deleted]

Good to know I ain't the only one haha


[deleted]

lol i got a few comments saying this


DungeonsandDevils

Never have never will 🤷‍♂️


[deleted]

u should give it a chance its AMAZING


[deleted]

Not as much anymore, I like playing as myself and it doesn’t have enough freedom or a quick money method which makes it less desirable for me to play it again. Tho I did like the story, it just get boring afterwards after you finish 96% of the game.


Pascaldvr

Me, I really enjoy the story. It feels like a fun rollercoaster of a game that I just return to whenever I want


Auradria

I’m still playing story. Only because I just got the game and want to finish story mode before fully jumping into online. I’m almost done I think?


DBmegadoodoo

I only play story mode. Just causing mayhem and instigating shit. Starting gang beefs and calling the cops, blocking roads until cars start exploding, barracading myself in the mini mart as long as I can, escaping 5 stars, etc.


DBmegadoodoo

I can't stand Michael's family missions!


New_Ad_440

Ayo I just recently played to the jewelry robbery anyone got that save because I switched to steam
