Solution: I will not be playing GTA online as I am a working adult who doesn’t want to spend their precious free time getting griefed by unemployed kids.

I tried GTA5 Online. It was fun for the first few hours coz I was playing with IRL friends. Tried it solo and it was the most boring and annoying experience (hackers and griefers etc) if you turn off pvp theres barely any reason to play it, its jusr a grind that wants you to buy sharkcards. Tried RDR:O and it was just hella boring to be honest.

I’d say RDR:O is plagued by even more cheaters than GTA V.

Early on into GTA5 Online, a hacker gave me and my buddy like 2 billion dollars each. We couldn’t remove it from our accounts and he just spawned money bags on top of our heads so we picked it up automatically.

Actually the best thing that ever happened to us, since we were never really interested in the grind. Fooling around in the sandbox was always the fun part. So we just spent all our money pimping out cars, buying mansions, planes etc. and just generally fucked around with it all. I had the full car garage with like 10 fully decked out rides, all without doing a single heist or anything. Honestly awesome I’m not gonna lie to you

For me and my freinds it was trying fun glitches and messing around. My personal favorite was a bug that allowed you to store pretty much any vehicle in your garage without you owning it. We had things like firetruck, ambulances, police vans. I think we even tried to get a helicopter in there at one point, I can't remember if it worked or not.

During the Xbox 360 days my buddies and I all had glitched one of the fighter jets from the military base, a tank, and the helicopter with the hook on it. This was before all the new shit like the jet bike, so having these vehicles was PREMIUM. Being able to have your delivery driver deliver a fucking tank during a pvp battle was the best, haha

Can’t agree more. I really don’t understand the hype around it. I love the single player experience but the online component just doesn’t feel right and it doesn’t feel like GTA to me either.
