“Life is a meaningless cycle of suffering and despair, and the only escape is death. Nothing matters, nothing changes, nothing lasts. We are all doomed to oblivion, and our existence is a cosmic joke.” - Fu Kitall, 243 BC
Ther is no point in not cheating in gta5 online. You either grind like a motherfucker or you buy shark cards that are expensive as fuck. Why not cheat abd if you get banned you buy the game again, because it's still cheaper.
Oh, it’s not just P2P. There are ways to make P2P networking work, but GTAO has several inherent networking flaws.
One of them is that a client is understandably responsible for computing things around it (pedestrians etc). This is fine in itself but what if two people meet and one leaves? What happens to the things it was computing?
Well, clients can send a packet that means “don’t worry I got it from here” that they can send to other clients to tell them that from now on, they will be the one computing a specific thing. Non-hacked clients are programmed to always agree. No matter what the thing is.
Unrelated, here are a few example of the types of things that are affected by this:
pedestrians
NPC cars
various props
empty cars
cars with other players in them
other player’s avatars (which are considered special pedestrians)
various item pickups
vehicles other than cars
various scripts that have to do with single-player interactions, such as the casino wheel, slots, biker gang actions, etc.
This means that as a hacker, you get to decide what happens with the car somebody is driving, and change whatever attributes you want about it.
Note that this also means that any client is free to spawn any of the above items at any point, including the money bags spawned by tellers when you rob them (R* does do some checks when you tell them your new account balance but it’s really not that hard to bypass). Any client is also free to change anything about these items. Color, license plate, engine upgrades, hell, even straight up engine variables. And other clients have to accept that that happened, because that’s how the protocol is written.
This is just for regular stuff though. Hackers can already massively affect the game this way but there is some stuff they can’t do. Until they become the most senior client of the session (for example by crashing anyone more senior than them through various exploits - patched in their own clients of course).
Being the oldest client in a session means you become the script host, and when you’re script host, you unlock additional things that everyone agrees are your responsibility, such as what time of day and weather it is. Overall being script host isn’t that desirable because it doesn’t grant stuff that is really strong, just stuff that has wide impact (for example I think the script host has the capacity to make it winter anytime, but it’s just not that funny to do that after the 2nd time).
IF (big if) it has decent performance on 20-30 series cards, an actual story and a better online mode, i probably will purchase it. but not for 70 bones. i’ll watch out for keys online.
You mean decent performance for GTX series cards, as if a game requires higher cards => less optimized. I wont have any hopes it will be good online mode as i see that its just a GTA V with visual mods and a “new” story.
Uh, it looks similar to GTA5 because it is the SEQUEL… The graphics and detail are amazing, GTA5 will probably feel like PS2 graphics when this is out.
Sure it’s just a trailer and no gameplay but if the trailer uses the games graphics engine this is incredibly impressive.
70€ for hundreds or thousands of hours of entertainment is a pretty damn good deal. Compare that to a ticket at the cinema for 2 hours.
I would not say its hundreds or thousands of hours? 30 hours max for GTA V for my “playthrough” and Online is not usable for coop or anything else then shitting on new users. But i was never a fan of GTA so you can be more hyped than me.
RDR2 is so massively detailed and open that frankly I think that game is worth HUNDREDS of hours of gameplay. Two years in and I’m still finding new things to do. I agree I didn’t spend that long with V outside of the main story given how little there is to do, but it’s safe to say they’re gonna take everything that was a masterpiece with RDR2 and just put it in GTA. That’s kind of why the hype is so large.
My biggest problem with RDR2 is how linear and on-rails it felt. Seemed like a ton of window dressing with very little to actually do outside of the main story and its big action set pieces. One of my biggest gaming disappointments. I really hope GTA VI puts more love into its open world this go around.
That is a ridiculous amount of time to put into a game. And completely impractical and shouldn’t be considered a selling point. Thousands of hours probably but Jesus relax.
