I'm fucking done with Rockstar after GTA5. Took a great franchise and fucking ruined it with online mode. One of my first sessions ended up with a hacker teleporting everyone to a single location on the map and dropping millions on everyone.
Also, I can't play Vice City (still my favorite) on PC without the Social Club bullshit or downloading a cracked version (I gave up on pirated software), despite it being a single player game. Just another company I'm happy to boycott forever.
That's my big problem with the online mode as well. They could have actually made it fun but it's totally unplayable because they don't do anything about hackers while at the same time even by legitimate means giving players access to fucking sci-fi death machines.
I'm so sick of spawning in and instantly getting blown up by a flying motorcycle with infinite rockets. That's not even fun gameplay for the person the flying motorcycle.
You should try playing Vice City on a PS2 emulator. Connect your emulator with retroachievements.org and try to get all the achievements. If you can find a legit PS2 copy, it won't be piracy.
That's a good wisdom! I still have my original PS2 disc packed away, but I'd have to get a DVD drive for my PC (I haven't had one for years). They're cheap enough, and I've got a few other games as well. Thanks!
Just download an image if you have a legit copy.
If you've got a legit copy then just download a copy and run that on the emulator, no DVD drive needed.
It's not piracy, it's a backup.
I only ever bought RDR2 from them, which is still bringing me a lot of enjoyment, and after seeing how they squandered RDR online for the heinous crime of not printing money fast enough, I don't think I'll be buying anything from them for the foreseeable future.
Yeah the connection check is idiotic. Won't be buying
I bet it won't be as good, you can't have proper satire under the current censorship schemes ran by the owner class.
Esp in light of recent events, parasites will be insecure for a long time
