Grand Theft Auto Online

Why is the tutorial even in the game? We had the game already for two fucking weeks.

Reading you guys' posts sounds an awful lot like what happened trying to do a VSN Game Night with GTA IV online for PS3. Shit was completely broken. I guess it's a good thing that I haven't been able to redbox GTA V this week. I really want to see if the online portion will make me want to buy the game sooner, but it sounds like I'd probably be wasting my time right now.

Thank you everyone for continuing to bear with us since yesterday’s initial roll out of Grand Theft Auto Online – we’re aware that a variety of technical difficulties have made it difficult to get access and that the experience has been a bit less than smooth for many of you who jumped in straight away, so here are a few updates as of this afternoon to keep you all apprised.

At the Rockstar Games Support site, there is a dedicated article listing out the most common technical issues being reported. Things are changing and developing frequently but here are some latest updates as of this afternoon:

- For PlayStation 3 users, a PlayStation Network server issue was detected that was limiting the amount of possible concurrent users. This was preventing most players from accessing GTA Online altogether and as of this morning, that problem was resolved.

- There is an issue that is preventing some players from getting through the first tutorial mission across both platforms. Many players have been able to get through this with repeated retries, and we are working on unblocking this for everyone as soon as possible.

- This morning, we experienced some instability across the GTA Online services which is affecting even people who have progressed beyond the tutorial mission. We are identifying these issues now and are working to restore stability for users as soon as possible.

- For the time being and until we have been able to get everybody access to GTA Online and things are running smoothly, we have disabled the option of purchasable GTA$ cash packs. Players can however keep on earning GTA$ by pulling off Jobs and other profitable gameplay activities rather than purchasing cash packs.

You can keep updated on these and other common issues by subscribing to the GTA Online Launch Status Rockstar Support article at http://support.rockstargames.com/hc/...atest-Updates-. Subscribers will be sent an automatic notification as updates happen.

All of these initial technical issues will be ironed out as soon as we can. Please know that the entire team here at Rockstar and all of our relevant partners are and will continue to be working around the clock to get the experience to be as smooth as possible, as soon as possible.

In the meantime, for anyone experiencing technical problems, we encourage you to report them to our dedicated Support Team at Support.RockstarGames.com and at twitter.com/RockstarSupport. This is the best place to get direct technical help and we are constantly looking at the most commonly reported issues there to resolve.

For those of you who have been getting into and playing GTA Online, we also encourage you to please share your gameplay experience feedback with us at GTAOnline@rockstargames.com so that we may know what aspects you’re liking and disliking to help guide how the game will grow and evolve past this initial period.

Thanks again everyone for your patience and your support – we will continue to keep you updated.

managed to get in on my lunch break, figured id boot it and let it sit. first try it took me to the starting circle, waited about 15 minutes on "waiting for other people to join the game" and then finished the race. seems like there is a job you have to do as part of the tutorial, but i didnt have time to finish it, so i left my self logged in, we'll see what happened when i get home lol

It's not like GTAIV which was the same online as offline.

The experience online with this one is vastly different. Whole new menus, features, and options to dive into. I foresee myself plenty of times having to ask for help on how to do things I missed or forgot about from the tutorial.

"Waiting for other players"...

At least I got that far.

EDIT: Beat Lamar in a race where I basically was my own worst enemy hitting a tree.

Righted the ship and now?

I have a feeling I'm about to be kicked offline.

TIL that even if you start a 1v1 Deathmatch with some asshole that's been trolling you all game, EVERYONE ELSE on the same server as you can STILL KILL YOU.

Makes me want to kick babies when I can't get a good shot because some scrub wants to jump into an A/B Conversation with a fuckin' uzi.

Thats why you murder everyone. Thats what I did when I managed to get on. Some dude ran me over in a car. Next time I got his ass with a shotty.
