I decided to give this game a more serious review, because there are some things I want to address.

I see a lot of reviews for this game saying that GTA Online is cancerous and the worst of the worst. I have played over 1200 hours of this game on the PC and well over 500 on the 360 (i lost track), and I can say with confidence that those claims are a little exagerated. Now I understand fully that hackers are everywhere, and the job payouts were nerfed to encourage microtransactions. In fact I think we can all agree these are terrible things. However, people seem to think that GTA Online is a place where they shouldn't be bothered by other people. It seems that people have forgotten what this game is. So I'll put out a reminder for anyone whos thinking about buying this game.

Grand Theft Auto is a game where it is every man for himself. It is a game that can be unforgiving and sometimes unfair. It is a game where killing people is praised and wars are encouraged. If someone kills you in GTA Online it is not greifing, and if they keep coming after you then find another server to play on. If you start a fight with someone bigger than you then don't act surprised when they start to kick your ass. If you do freemode missions like moving cargo, everyone in the server has the opportunity to destroy what you have and get a reward for it. That does not mean that whoever destroyed it is greifing, especially when the game is encouraging it. Like every other game there are obstacles, and a certain level of difficulty that comes with it. GTA Online is no different. So please take that into consideration next time you play online.
