Another reason why I’m not holding out for GTA VI… Rockstar has changed a lot since GTA V, and not in a good way.
the only reason i know about and care about gta 5 is because of sips so basically what im saying is sips should be ceo of rockstar
No no, they have changed a lot since GTA IV, and not in a good way.
I hope they do something about cheaters. Playing GTA5 online missions is way more fun when they dont just teleport and kill you while on a mission.
Trust me, I’ve played GTA Online since the day it launched (or the week afterwards rather since the servers were really shit at launch), they only ever did anything about cheaters if they cheated money.
I remember all the early money exploits and car duplication glitches, those were usually hotfixed in a day while other (game-breaking) bugs existed for years…
I’m hoping they do something actually effective against the cheaters, so far the only thing they havd accomplished is screwing over their Linux users. I went to pick the game up again the other day and found it no longer functions for multiplayer under proton because they are too scared it’ll be used for hacking. Meanwhile everyone and their mother is bitching that thd cheating still exists so obviously Linux wasn’t the issue.
I’ve played through every single GTA game and still think that Vice City is the best, with San Andreas as a very close second.
Rockstar is well-known for asking modders to take down various mods like this AI-powered GTA 5 story mode mod, or a VR mod for Red Dead Redemption 2. The Liberty City Preservation Project take down is also not without direct precedent as Rockstar issued a take-down for a mod that tried to recreate Grand Theft Auto Vice City within GTA 5.
All examples of how the current license/ip model is not supportive for creativity and innovation.
Woops, Mutahar accidentally indirectly killed it by giving it coverage.
He covered it about two weeks ago trepedatiously, thinking the project was awesome, but stating that Rockstar could kill the whole thing if they became aware of it…

And now its dead.
“Due to the unexpected attention that our project received and after speaking with Rockstar Games, we have decided to take down the Liberty City Preservation Project.”
The above linked almost half million view video is almost certainly the ‘unexpected attention our project recieved’, not the inline linked tweet IGN provided with less than 300 retweets.
I wonder if I can still get it from some shady corner of the internet. I’d like to see this get Streisanded.
Fuck copyright and patent laws.
Surprise surprise
NO NONO NONO FK Rockstar!
