GTA online review

Ok, now this was difficult. I personally love the online of this game, i think i have been a bit addicted this past month. However i also hate the online as well. Rockstar had a rough launch day, or should i say week. Yes i was annoyed but not suprise and i just waited until people reported it working. So i'm going to let that pass. However what i won't let pass is all the features the missed out until 'a later date'. I mean if i bout a game, i want the game, all of it. GTA online is like buying a foundation of a house and hoping rockstar completes and adds on to it, its good yes, but it isn't complete. What i mean by this is when i saw the trailer i was more excited with the stock market feature and the bank robberies you could plan with friends, none of that is available yet.

Ok now i want to talk about the money of this game. Excuse my langue but it fucking sucks. you can buy money with real world money through the credit card option, that are coming 'at a later date', the main way you can get money is by doing missions and of course people abuse the crap out of it refreshing an easy mission and getting millions that way. Then rockstar said, well instead of trying to find a way to make the missions harder or longer, we will not longer let people play a mission again. That is so stupid, i have played a mission where you get $1000, not because of the money but because it was fun. now i cant do that mission again easily. The second way you get money is by robbing stores, fun but you only get $900 - $1500 each time, and of course people found a way to gain the system too. The third way is you sell cars, i'm fine with this way as you can only sell one car a day, but you can get up to $10,000 a car. Now the last way i've found it to simply go crazy killing people and players, but this is a good way to get kicked or have a bounty on your head you only lose when someone kills you.

Now i'm not saying i dislike gta online, i just think if you'r going to release something with promises of features
, release those features straight away and don't stop adding features until a month after release. Ok i think thats all the problems i've found in the game. Now to the more positive part of my experience.

After loosing three character from cloud issues and finally getting used to that piece of crap character creator (heritage), i made a  somewhat awesome looking guy, this is now me and i'm now fully immersed as they don't speak, weird thing to say but thats how i felt. Another awesome moment is the first time you fly a fighter jet online, and assuming you don't get kicked, you can have a lot of fun. Furthering on this point is a mission called top fun. Top fun pits a 4 v 4 match one team as the runners on bike, and the others in jets. I think i played this more than free roam. If you get a chance to play it i suggest doing it, it can be found outside the military base.

Ok this is gunna be a small review because theres so much to say and talk about that i simple can't. What i will say is that gta online could be its own game, and it could hold up as one. Rockstar have made an online experience like i said before is the foundation of something great, and i will be playing this in the years to come, as this open world is only going to get bigger.
