Way too many game franchises have their own 'Onlines' like Need For Speed, Final Fantasy, Star Wars, Star Trek, Elder of Scrolls, Champions etc. Rockstar has brought us its Online version of GTA (ironically called 'GTA Online'). Most of the people wouldn't call it 'Online' because it uses the map of Los Santos as a playground, but we never know what Rockstar has in mind of putting in.
PRESENTATION
October 1st, the date of release of GTA Online... Many consoles freezing and many user-created characters being deleted for no reason, but lets talk about that later, shall we? GTA Online is accessed through GTA V single player (like in GTA IV- you have a phone, use it!). At most times i would be picking Free roam as it would, probably, be the most fun thing to do. After I would get killed a few times, i would choose another gamemode. Whenever i would try to find an online race lobby, my game would get stuck on the loading screen and eventually my console would freeze, making all of my progress to get lost. Yes, that was a bumpy start for the game, but it's an online game, its servers are part of it too! A few days later, the races were fixed, and i was ready to face some more character deletions. It's actually really hard to think of giving this game a bad score as it is one of the most fun games i've ever played (maybe even the most fun). GTA Online has a campaign, which you complete to get money. Money can be earned by completing story missions and/or by robbing or mugging other players and/or robbing grocery stores, clothing stores, gas stations etc. Whenever I would die, i would respawn at the nearest hospital, but i would lose a ton of money (depends on how much money you currently have, but my fee would usually be around 5k which is stupid). Keep it in mind that all of the problems mentioned below have been fixed. Online also gives you the biggest character customization Rockstar has ever made. You can change the looks of your character by changing sex, masks, bracelets, clothes etc. which there's a ton of for each. You are able to create your own server (for free) and let your friends join. In order to make stability between people who want to kill/cause chaos and people who just want to level up and have fun (in a good way), Rockstar has inserted a thing called 'Good or bad sport'. For example, you steal a tank from the military base, or you buy it for 1000k dollars and make a rampage around the city, killing players, destroying their private vehicles (private vehicles can be customized, licenced, put into your apartment garage) you get the title 'Bad sport'. Now, that isn't only a title, it's also a brand new system to divide you from the good sports, which means, you spawn next to the other bad sports! Pretty cool, huh? Also keep it in mind that raising money can be a pain in the ass, because some things cost like 100 store robberies.
GRAPHICS
Nope, check out the GTA V review.
MULTIPLAYER
The entire expansion is a multiplayer.
THE VERDICT
We could say that GTA Online is a seperated game from GTA V, and we will. GTA Online is one of the most fun and at the same time totally free experiences ever. It may have had a rough start, but it will sure keep your attention for a really long time. I give this monster a 10/10. For more reviews, check out my blog. Laters.
