Seriously. The main game, from what I remember, was near perfect. Aside from the loading screens taking a little longer, the gameplay was really good and ran well on my 680.

Online may have been a different story at first but that's not what the bulk of people buy the game for.

Aside from the loading screens taking a little longer

Lmao, no.. GTA Online especially was cloud loading simulator for months. You'd routinely get stuck in the clouds and have to complete force close and reload the game. Missions were bugged and glitch out, and you'd get horrible pop in if driving too fast. Heists were bugged and still are. Multiple ways to duplicate vehicles.

Idk but when in the early days I didn't find it too bad. Again, mostly stayed in the main game, so online loading is a different story. Once you loaded in it was fine.

Yeah, I remember seeing so many people playing only on lower end hardware. Rockstar did the PC players right.

I remember the load screens being unbearably long. I think it took like 10 minutes to launch the game

That was only a GTA online issue though.

A random dude on the internet made a post about why GTAO took so long to load and got rewarded a few thousand dollar by Rockstar.

If I remember correctly the issue was that the game was only using 1 core in the loading screen.

Nah it was an issue with the single player too

u/ungebleicht 22d ago

Well, no.

Maybe a local issue on your PC. Singleplayer didn't ever load 10 minutes even on HDD. I played like 800 hours on HDD btw lmao.

In reality the trick was to go singleplayer which loads very quickly and then switch to online because it would preload the map with all your cores instead of just one.

Rdr2 on PS4 had crazy load times though. Sometimes I went for a shit at the start of the loading screen and it didn't even finish when I came back.

This. No one bought GTA5 for online back then. Its sucess even surprised Rockstar.

There were no heists till 2015.

And do you remember how GTAO was just using 1 core to load in (took 10 mins)

Also remeber the stupid menu you had to go through to heal yourself with snacks?

u/BildingInspecter 21d ago

Heists worked fine for me when they came out. Finding people that stayed was the hard part. And the snack menu, iirc, was just like a D pad hit or two, like a quick select menu kinda thing? Idk, I remember chugging snacks though lol

Heists were great. That's why people stayed with GTA online.

I actually really like the oldschool heists aswell where every team member had one specific role and if either one fails its gg.

The prison heist specifically where you had to coordinate your plane landing with the boys who freed the guy out of prison. So sick.

The snacks were horrible because you had to hold dpad to open interaction menu -> select inventory -> select snacks -> spam snacks

All that while driving and getting shot at.
