Of course, I only did that one because it happened to pop up, but yeah, they are pretty useless.

And since they are just normal cars, yes, you can cargobob them.

GTA V fans unhappy with PS 5 release.

Yeah, I can see that. I don't think anyone was clamouring for this game on the next console.

Oh, and that "free" Online mode? Yeah, that will only be for the first three months.

This cartoon really says it all.

Oh, and apparently that free Online version will only come halfway into 2021, unless that is a typo.

Sooo... now that we are stuck with this game for a few more years, what new stuff are you guys hoping for?

Actual decent body armour would be nice, actually.

Shorter loading times. They're still absurdly long.

That one will certainly happen, what with the PS 5 having an SSD.

I dunno how much shorter though. I'm playing from a PC where the game is installed on a SSD and the OS runs from a NVME.

Still forever load times

Then you probably have a bottleneck somewhere else. Or it is just the way the game is coded. Some games don't take full advantage of the power of your hardware, so they take the same time to load no matter how fast your PC gets.

Here are some tips on finding bottlenecks for your system.

It's GTA online, and Online insists on finding a "session" before loading you in. All my other games load nearly instantly. Assassin's Creed, Fallout 76, etc, all open world games. It's only GTA online.

and I'm okay with it, because its so much stinkin fun to play

I wish all the military properties were available in single player.

Oh, you were talking about that part. Yeah, this game is terrible at finding online sessions quickly, or matching up players for missions.

GTA Online must be crazy profitable if they're porting V to the PS 5.

I think I'm the one person who only plays the single player and never bothered with Online.

I generally dislike playing games online. Combined with Online being very microtransaction infested and you've got the recipe for something I'm not interested in.

I keep thinking I should play Online but, sadly, that would involve dealing with other players.

Presently, I am thinking about how Franklin is an interesting Deconstruction of Grand Theft Auto San Andrea's glamorization of gang life. I'm kind of sad we didn't see an older CJ and have Franklin gun him down or get some life advice.

... Why do you want to have Franklin gun CJ down? That seems unnecessarily cruel.

Also, you can play in a private server, and do a lot of missions on your own.

Because part of what I like about Grand Theft Auto's later entries is the darkness of the storytelling. GTAIV is my favorite.

Having Trevor kill the protagonist of the Lost and the Damned was a fitting ending for him, I think.

I thought it was incredibly cheap and overly edgy, honestly.

Eh, it depends if you think the protagonists should get Happily Ever After.

GTA online is better than the single player to me. More freedom, more vehicles, more mayhem. And avoiding players is easy.

I like Trevor just fine, but I do see why some dislike his proper introduction.

Ironically, Johnny Klebitz was constantly being called a traitor, and Trevor values loyalty over anything else.

After the way his character was demolished in V, I can't blame him. There's really nowhere to go from there.
