"As expected, Rockstar's servers are buckling under pressure as millions attempt to play GTA Online."

I've played online yesterday and it was a bit disappointing, you die WAY too fast and the city is empty as hell. Besides that it's extremely laggy (should be better now) and very buggy. I was in a car with a friend and it just hovered over the city with no physics at all. Sure, can be a cool shooter but there was absolutely no GTA-feeling

I love the GTA series for the setting and the sheer size and emerging properties, but I never liked the jerky animation and the handling, but they pull it off every damn time with the signature strong and weak flair in game design
- You played V yet? The animation and handling are greatly improvedanimatedgif
- yep, even flip flops "flip flop"mekk
- yeah, I played it, a looot better than IV, saints row 4 was more fluid and cartoonyWeyland

Hopefully it'll settle down, Max Payne 3 was one of the most entertaining recent multiplayers which does bode well...

If you manage to finish the tutorial then things go fine. It took a few tries to manage to connect but after that I changed instances without problems.
A friend accidentally killed me while we where robbing a store.

Im not even bothering with online right now until this all calms down. It sounds like it wasnt even finished when they launched it.
- Makes sense.. Why should R* buy a thousand new servers? Just for three heavy launch days of people trying it out?mekk

Im curious about something. How is it possible to make a billion dollars in 3 days, but cannot get a server to run well? I really dont know much about servers, but I would have to think they could afford to build the most powerful server system ever built in a giant warehouse with a whole team of experts to make sure its running well. Is it just impossible to do with the amount of traffic theyre getting?

Lolz Im running around in the game with my QBN shirt on. Who made this? Looks good.
- I was doing that too last night!!cruddlebub
- I'm also wearing it but no one sees it because of the bullet vest :(mekk

I made it using this free 'emblem creator http://www.ps3news.com/ps3-cfw-m…
Although it plasters a huge ' T R I A L ' text over the top in red, luckily very close to the QBN red so I just made the background solid, seems to work ok

Still can't connect to GTA Online on my PS3... I hope they got these issues fixed by this weekend..

I managed to get online for a few hours last night with a mate. It took a lot of waiting at loading screens and failed connections but we managed to get a few missions done.
Once they get the connectivity issues sorted it's going to be one hell of a game.
It's all the little things like character mouths moving when you speak through the headset that make this game awesome.

The character creation tool is pretty terrible. The faces look really weird. I had to put long-ish hair and sunglasses on my guy so that he looks somewhat normal.
After how huge the single player game is, and how ambitious they wanted online to be, it seems like it was probably too big of a job to make both great. Single player is awesome, but online is a disaster right now and seems a bit unfinished. Im not going to play it much until its improved a bit.
- Agreed it's terrible, although they seem to look less weird in game.TOMMYxGUNN
