PhishFood2013 8 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 Im pretty disappointed by this as is everyone else, but I did manage to make 2 characters and save them but no actual online play, I think the fact rockstar made so many sales and so much money and to still have an online down time of over 12 hours is ridiculous, They should have gone overboard with servers and preparation and then adjusted it and closed un-needed servers as necessary from there! Fuck sake rockstar! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuck sake rockstar! Think about it this way. 1 billion copies sold in 3 days. Even R* were surprised by that. They have only had 2 weeks to compensate. Give them a break. In a couple of weeks all will be sweet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 I don't think it's a lack of servers at this point. Seems more like they weren't coded right. If is was a lack of servers then most of the world would be playing instead of everyone out in the cold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rockstar aren't a bunch of monkeys, they are clearly a clever bunch to be able to pull of a game like this in the first place, so surely they could have predicted the amount of sales and also the amount of people intending to play online. This i what has surprised me, I would have thought they would have over prepared. @TF i suppose thats the more likely situation. But again, rockstar is a big company, and for 13 hours to pass with no improvement is surprising, as well as a huge lack off updates. If they posted a update explaining what had gone wrong in simple non coding terms then im sure people would be reacting better. But anyway, Im just hoping it is up by tomorrow morning (gmt) so. I can have a bash before work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted October 2, 2013 That's assuming they know what the problem is. And if they know what the problem is they would fix it. Computers are complicated. Any little thing can go wrong and fuck up the whole operation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barrybran 851 Report post Posted October 2, 2013 Damn, ginger afro! Surely there's gotta be an option for that. As for midgets, I dunno. R* probably wants to protect people from being thrown every two minutes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Massacre 7646 Report post Posted October 2, 2013 Well, my character appears on the character wheel now. That's progress. It works a little better if you load Story Mode and access Online from the pause menu rather than just loading Online. For me, anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrvn123 1 Report post Posted October 2, 2013 Well I kept getting a black screen after 30 minutes I got to characterize player but then I couldn't join a session. I'm gonna try again tomorrow and make a new character. The character I made today looked like a douche. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handsome B Wonderful 331 Report post Posted October 2, 2013 Even though I can't access online (apart from character creation) on PS3 or 360, the 360 version appears to be more gimped. When it times out, it says 'press A to continue back to GTA V', but nothing happens when I press it , so I have to go back xbox home and load the game again.
