So, after being a little late to the online party...mostly because of connection issues, I've been playing GTA5 online for the past two nights, and I must say...I'm quite bored.
The free roam is fine, people drive around and kill one another on sight...thats mostly fine, whatever. I wish the cops were less stupid online (they seem much smarter in single player) so there was some kinda penalty for mindless murder, but whatever, its GTA.
My real issues are with the missions, the missions suck.
First off, any mission in which the losing team gets nothing may as well not exist. It takes forever to get into a game, usually up to 5 minutes from the moment you first click to do a "Quick Game". First you gotta load the mission, then you gotta sit in a "setup" room...then you gotta pick your...whatever for that mission, then ready...then wait for everyone ELSE to ready...then you realize its a 1 death mission and you are somehow 1-shot across the map while behind perfect cover...now you get to sit and watch everyone else stand behind cover for 20 minutes.
After that ends, and you get NOTHING...you get to wait all over again, first for mission voting...which usually breaks down into "Do the same mission again" or "everyone leaves"...even if you pick to do the same mission again, you have to do the SAME game setup screen again.
The delay between missions is simply too long. If I want to play missions, I want them in quick succession, I don't want 15 minutes between games. There are really only about 4 missions. Racing (car, boat, plane, heli), deathmatch (free roam in a confined space with auto-aim), Grab the Whatever (which is basically just deathmatch with a moving objective) and parachuting (You best know how to land perfectly or don't bother).
The ONLY missions that are worthwhile are racing. As long as you finish the race, which isn't hard, you always get something...usually a lot actually. Just 5 races will net you about 10-20k, and given how scarce money is online, thats probably some of the best income in the game.
So GTA5 Online is now...Motor City Online (look that one up if you never played it), just with guns.
I only want to level up to get access to more weapons for free roam, namely sticky bombs. However I'm finding the motivation to spend all night going 1 race every 20 minutes in an attempt to level up, lacking. It's just so boring right now.
I'd like more mission variety, I'd like to get SOMETHING even if I lose for spending my 20 minutes waiting for the match to start.
Anyone else feel this way?
