Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Yup, GTA 5 has a very weird community, only encountered either no interaction at all, either killing players on sight
I still remember the launch trailer. People hanging out. 10 people skydiving in a formation. People having fun in general. In reality? Get shot, get blown up, get shot by heatseeking missiles, get sniped from across the map. I played gtao on launch for a bit and then maybe a year later to see what it's like. It was miserable, and i don't get it.
Happened to me once. I just started playing online, went to gun store to buy guns, some player shot me dead. I never played online ever again.
Had a similar experience on PS3. Got online, set my status to friendly or what it’s called, and was killed constantly by vehicles. Stopped playing it then and there. I had hoped you could do co-op shenanigans and not get killed all the time.
