Honestly it can be fun? For a few weeks at a time before I get bored and go do something else.
I will admit though GTAO is the only online game I’ve ever downloaded a mod menu for. I never touched the god mode or teleportation or any other parts of it. Just the money generation because fuck every single thing about the grind in that game that is designed to push you towards shark cards.
When you can buy whatever you want and the missions are purely for fun? Honestly yeah. I enjoy it. Last time I played, even though it wasn’t current, I mostly played with the nightclub.
Agreed, I dumped a lot of hours in that game’s grind and it’s marginally worth it at best. They seem to have loosened up the payouts lately (been playing on and off for the past year), but the real fun (VTOL jets, railgun tanks, subs, orbital lasers, etc.) is locked behind millions of funbucks, which are immensely difficult to accrue. Plus it’s infested with modders and cheaters at this point, so not using mod menus is relatively synonymous to shooting yourself in the foot before running a marathon…
I used to screw around with friends as The Panto Gang where we decked out pantos in the most ridiculous visual mods, and drove circles around people until they started trying to blow us up.
In 8 months, I put more time into gta online doing that than in the 9 years afterward.
Every day we played, we knew how the night was going to end.
At some point when it’s getting late, we’ll all be trying not to be the first one to say anything, then one person shoots another, it devolves into a half hour of free-for-all; explosions, probably literal tons of bullets, and when we all finally ran out of ammo and started beating each other to death with pool cues, bats, and police batons, the night would come to an end.
And then another half hour of talking while a few wandered around aimlessly in cars or sat on the dashboard.
It was when it first came out on ps3 for me. It was fun to run around as a nobody, get into gangland shoot outs and feuds with other players, have death matches in the hood, etc. But very quickly, within six months, the game had become full of cheaters and modders with tanks, so I stopped playing.
I went back to it years later and it was not GTA, it was Saints row essentially, with flying bikes and laser guns and shit, it just became stupid and silly.
At first, maybe? When I first started last year, I was pretty hooked since it was something new to me, minus the constant hackers spamming the message and grievers, it was so bad that I had to play private lobby only. The only thing to do is doing the same thing over and over again to earn money just to spend it to do the same thing again. There’s no new mechanics, no story, nothing, just a constant grind and your reward is more grind.
Now I feel a dumbass for wasting two months of my life on it. Even Genshin is way better than GTAO, it actually has interesting story, fun mechanics and great characters. I’ve been playing GI since 2020, got a bit burned out and currently addicted to Witcher 3 but I still play it daily. But GTAO, fuck that shit, I left it more than 6 months ago and the thought of considering looking back never once crossed my mind.
GTA online on PC is a hell hole of mod menu using douches. But on Xbox it can be a lot of fun, I’ve been enjoying the new Salvage Yard content and my buddy and I just did the first part of a doomsday heist and made him a million bucks in about an hour of time. It’s not hard to make lots of money these days in the game which is pretty great. I still play regularly on Xbox. But yeah, the moment I log in on Steam I’m instantly being killed by some fuckwad with a mod menu.
Did GTA online ever actually become a good game?

Oh, definitely more fun and even easier with friends. If nothing else, makes the grind bearable when you’re also messing about with a whole gang.

Same. Really enjoyed heists and racing, especially when the latter got wacky.
