So the online is working better. I can get into missions or races without fail, but really, the online is just shitty.
Some deathmatches are alright, but today I've played one death match just before quitting that was 1-8 players so is considered medium sized, left all settings as default, yet at the start when spawning, everyone was 2-3 blocks away and every time you die the game spawns you three blocks away from where everyone else is at.
When playing a match sometimes you get a group of people who don't quit after every game. Rarely. Very very very very very rarely do you get people who actually keep playing and vote on another event, so you have to wait for more people to join. Great.
Also when joining jobs and such, there are quite a few different areas to have a race or have a deathmatch so it spreads the players way too thin. Probably every other game you'll get in a match with a good amount of people. If you're the host, the only way to get people to join is either invite friends or click on the send invite to same skilled players which only sometimes gets people to join by the time the two minute wait runs out.
If you ask me, they should have made it like Call of Duty matchmaking. Allow people to join up in prelobby, and then everyone auto join the same lobby together. Give no choice between starting your own lobby with less players. Choose death match, the game auto searches for how many people in your lobby and how many lobbies have less than 16 players. Choose race? Same thing but only do the eight player races if you have eight or less people in the lobby at the time and don't allow for anyone to join mid game.
The supposed 500+ missions that Rockstar touted? Bullshit. Other than the three text missions, the missions I've played were nothing more than different styles of death matches, or cops and robbers. Again, that should be just like Call of Duty. When you try to go to one in the clip on the Call of Duty games, it teams you up with any room that's missing a player or players. It attempts to keep all rooms at the max amount of players so the game more enjoyable.
So yeah. My opinion about Grand Theft Auto online is that, it's shit, because today it was pretty bad and it worked perfectly. The content is shit. The match making is shit. Rockstar sold us on shit and it didn't even work for a good four days. If I was to give the online a score based on it working well it'd be a 3/10 and that's because the racing when playing online was the only decent part about it.
