Games / Re: Grand Theft Auto Megathread - OP 3.0

GTA Online is the single worst online experience I've ever had.
I've already had to slogged my way to Level 12, and I can't progress any further thanks to a multitude of failures on the behalf of Take-Two/Rockstar. Here's the situation and the additional things that frustrate me;
1) Very few people post missions (I've joined with as many crews as possible in the hopes I'd get more), and if I go join a mission:
- Nobody else joins and the host leaves
- The host leaves during the setup
- GTA Online gives me a generic network error and boots me to GTA V
- The lobby is already full so I can't join
2) If I post a mission and invite everybody, especially the double RP ones, nobody loving joins.
3) Players love to go around and randomly kill you. I've been lucky enough to live long enough to put my money in the bank, but still.
4) Aircraft don't loving spawn unless you're level 20. That's loving bullstuff and there's not a single reason for this.
5) RB2K made me a modded car; I wasn't allowed to mod it or put in my garage.
6) At Level 12, I can't access any vehicle mods except "20% Armour Plating". Wow, that sure makes me want to play the game give the wide selection of choice! I can't even change the body shape or colours!
The only reason I push myself to play this handicapped game more is so that I'm not so feature-less when I play with my friends who are all 100+ and have everything unlocked, and I'm not going to ruin the fun of the group by forcing them into stuffty missions which only I need for ranking.
It's so extremely disappointing to have a great experience like GTA V, and then be so let down and disappointed by the Online component. Everybody on the planet hyped it up for me, and my expectations were completely true; this game blows unless you played from Day 1.
