Some countries like Ukraine are told that they need a console to make an account, you can't make this shit up lmao

So I bought the game in PS store. Installed it and went to play just to remember I need to pay for a subscription. Uninstalled and never looked back. I dropped my subscription in December and PS won't give me a reason too return. Maybe I can get GTA 5 for the 20th time for "free."

I'm bummed I missed my window to return it through steam. I downloaded it, gave it a couple tries and just couldn't figure out what I was supposed to be doing or when the fun was supposed to start. I couldn't figure out how to play with other people or what guns I was supposed to use against whatever enemy. None of it made sense and seemed like it was all just hype with no substance. It's still in my library, but I don't think it'll ever get a reinstall. I wish I could just gift it to someone else

Have you tried watching any videos that explain how to play or talking to anyone in your squad when you play online? It's a game meant to be played as co-op, not really solo.

Assuming you aren't trolling... If you want to try again, how to play with others is really simple. In the world map, you can press "R" to quick play and it will put you in a mission with a couple people in it. You can also throw a SOS during the mission (idk if it works if you set matchmaking to friends only in settings, try making it public).

Mainly micro transactions. Though its not as bad as other games i don't agree with them being in games that cost money. If they are going to be added i think the game should be free. Its mainly a critique of online gaming in its current state.

The gameplay was not my kind of game but that's more of a personal preference than it being a bad game. I watched a ton of gameplay and had friends stream it to me and it looked very dull. He came across a lot of bugs while playing too such as clipping through the map forcing him to restart the entire mission.

The micro-transactions barely exist and was easy be bought with premium currency found in the game. There are paid battle passes but none of the items within give you much of an edge over anyone else, and those battle passes also award premium currency which can be used to buy the next battle pass. They’re not timed, either. You can buy one battle pass and sit in it for a year before completing it.

As far as MTX go, they’re the most inoffensive I’ve ever seen in a game.

Did anyone actually have to log in? I played yesterday without having to add a sony account, neither did my friends.

When I bought the game it wouldn't let me play without creating an account, and that was over a month ago. I guess the requirement is only just now rolling out for the majority of players?
