Before GTA Online, I'd never think Rockstar would be capable of being this incompetent. Used to be a time they put extreme detail into their games. Now they can't be bothered to do the bare minimum anymore. I feel like I've never seen a company fall futher from grace then I have with Rockstar these last 10 years.
@@KingArthur101 While I think Blizzard takes the cake for the most absolutely awful, unsafe, and degenerative working environment, I was more referring to their products. And Rockstar takes it for going from making absolute masterpieces to the most unimaginative, cookie cutter content that brings more issues then entertainment.
Its the people STILL playing that's causing all of this. Rockstar be like: 10 fucking years and people still won't quit? Lets see how addicted these idiots really are. Its like a drug dealer that use to have good shit now its all stepped on but the junkies keep coming back.
This is honestly disgusting and this is why I don't even bother with them. The reward for all the nonsense you have to do, and the poor testing to make sure it all makes sense... calling it a waste of time is a huge understatement. And if this was actually intentional, not lazy, that is just insidious in the worst way.
@Lex_en_vrai I was legit so mad at gta online I just casually had a 45 minute rant about how boring the game is, annoying griefers, Terrible incentive, and Terrible rewards, constant modders all the way from the fucking 360, and above all else its BORING. ITS BORRRRIIIIING.
@@lazygenius3139 I took a year off the game, it felt great for sure, now I came back but I don't give the slightest fuck about the game anymore, fuck rockstar and their poor ass work
Rockstar sucks at making these. It all started with the arena war rank up system, the tuner rank up system was just a tad better and now we have the ‘career’ progress. I agree with all the things you said Ghillie. I’ve been playing since day one and they really treated the OG players this badly. A toddler could have come up with better challenges and rewards 😂
Rockstar design is full of conflicting mechanics and gameplay philosophy that interacts with each other in slapdash and thoughtless ways. Every "stealth" mission is a coin flip as to whether you can take out anyone without tripping alarms, or whether bodies you have no way of moving tip off hostile patrols. Cayo Perico stealth runs have been strangled by Rockstar constantly making undisclosed nerfs, including the fact that the shift change might happen across any random body and suddenly know exactly where you are instantaneously.
Oh god the arena rank system is definitely the worst. The rusty tractor would be awesome, but they made it insufferably boring with the rank up system. I won’t ever consider going to the arena unless it’s for a glitch.
@@Revenante_of_Asylumyep. Haven’t run a Perico for at least a year now, and no plans to return. Never did it for the money in the first place. It was just fun to see how fast we could run it. 2020-2021 had me playing every single day. Those were fun times on gta.
@Ryan57Garr It was good money, but more importantly, *great* fun. Have been considering returning to it recently, seeing how it plays nowadays. Got 23 million in the tank, I can afford some inefficiency in money grinding in favor of messing around.
@SteveshiClayxui GTA stealth is just an unfinished, half cooked system. You have bodies that (might) trip the alarm, but no way to hide said bodies other than killing them in an optimal spot. You never know when even a sneaky takedown will trip the alarm, and sometimes stealth fails in the end anyway. I still enjoy stealth, feeling like a slick operative pulling off the flawless job so that no one ever saw me. But GTA makes that a rare feat, and not through actual reasonable difficulty either.
im level 925, and I couldnt agree with you more. It bugged me that all my heist progress was gone, even when I had awards for it already in the game under "awards". All elite challenges for doomsday, all casino ones, hell even cayo. As someone whose been on since day one, you hit the nail on the head, I felt shitted on.
It really is a slap in the face to us long time players. At 1182 legit Seeing that i needed to bring in 50 cars in perfect condition as if I haven't already brought in hundreds like that or having to get all the Collections again in Import Export is like them saying F*** Y** for playing the game so long.
Yeah, I've done like a quarter of these challenges already on PS3/PS4, but if they aren't going to count, I'm never completing these challenges. Hell, I don't even have 50 slots for new vehicles. Bought the new multi-level garage when it came out and it's already half filled. 😠🤬
When this career progress thing was launched I took one quick look at it, saw the challenges vs. Rewards and saw that most of my progress wasn't even accounted for and I would have to do everything again, and I noped tf out of there in less than 30 seconds. Haven't opened that tab ever since and probably never will. My time and sanity are worth so much more and R* can stick it where the sun don't shine 😊
About the pistol challenge, I think it is also worth mentioning that the phone hits also have the same problem. One of the bonus objectives that you may get is having to run over the target however, if you hit them with your car and they ragdoll THEN die, you fail the bonus.
@thuglife4k I could do that, or my vigilante works but the targets are usually spread out across the map and it takes longer, so I use my oppressor mk11. I boost into them but sometimes they don't die
@@user-kx8qi7nk4lI bet if people stop playing they would. We need to just stop for a while and see how they react. They will continue like this because no matter how we rant we will still play the game, that's what Rockstar likes to see so they just don't care.
@@YaboiCalosNo, only thing that'd actually get them to remotely care is if GTA 6 didn't sell hardly at all... THEN, R* would actually listen. But, problem is though, "gamers" these days are such simp NPCs that'll rush out and buy any level of hot garbage just because it's new. Look at COD the past decade...no matter how trash that series has become since Advanced Warfare dropped, idiots still line up in the masses 20hrs before it releases. WWII and BO4 are prime examples of the level of garbage people will still buy! Only recently have their numbers started mildly going down. But there's still several millions of people playing.
7:00 If the bike on the picture here is the one you get, it's actually worse than that I think. You know how there are 2 versions of the Daemon, one that's been in the game since day one, one with more customization added with the Bikers DLC. Based on the Lost logos on the seat of the bike on the picture, it looks like the former. *_You know, the version that spawns on the street sometimes._*
Yeah, what _really_ grinds my gears with the new Career Rewards system is the absolutely lackluster "rewards" for completing them. Each tier should have *_multiple_* rewards for each categories Tier Rewards such as path-related clothing like the Diamond Strike Vest (which I still regret missing out on), as well as the Tier 4 Rewards including massive payouts, non-timed discounts for websites, or even permanent buffs for heists like the Casino Heist or Cayo Perico where each tier completed earns you a permanent chance to possibly get Diamonds/Panther Statue for the respective Heists that gets higher with each Tier completed.
What grinds my gears is that alot of what I did over the years playing this game doesnt count. I don't want to go back and grind anything Ive made hundreds of millions of dollars from.
yeah, pistol only challenges aren't worth the trouble for doing... I agree that on the tier 4 rewards should've been 500k or a million, along with an actuallly rare car (Lost Slamvan, Spacedocker, etc) that would motivate me to actually try (even though I'm solo)
A million is still too little for this, you could could do a cayo perico, which is way easier, and bam, theres your reward, a better reward would be a random chance to get diamonds (diamond casino rewards) or the panther statue (cayo perico rewards), that way not only can you always get the limited time stuff that is otherwise impossible to get, you get a reward that you wont just spend in a single day, a reward that keeps on giving, or maybe for the other there could be a take increase for the respective businesses, like mc businesses, the agency, etc
I agree with one thing you said, for completing everything with the bikers update should be a lost slimvan as our tier 4 reward. I myself just like a lot of players want the lost slimvan without trying to win it from the lucky wheel in the casino since it’s very hard to win it. At least put the Lost Slimvan on Southern San Andreas to purchase and it wouldn’t matter to me if it was priced anywhere over 1 million dollars. I can’t imagine what we could get for the Christmas update and what rewards in the career progress will be if they aren’t enticing enough to grind for.
Also, the own a High End apartment one is bugged. I own a high end apartment yet the challenge just doesn’t seem to want to accept as completed. Also I can easily find better career progress rewards OG heists- the Insurgent Pickup Custom + Cop outfit Biker- Lost Slamvan Import/Export- Free garage upgrade Beach Bum- a free house at Vespucci Beach Gunrunning- Weaponized Tampa with all weapon upgrades unlocked Doomsday Heist- Thruster Casino update- free Poker/Black Jack table upgrade Casino Heist- NOOSE uniform Cayo Heist- Toreador Summer Update- the UFO buggy Contract- Franklin’s Buffalo STX or Dre’s Champion Criminal Enterprises- undercover police car + an IAA badge you can use on any outfit Drug Wars- potentially a Burger Shot outfit Drug Wars 2- potentially a squirrel outfit Tuners- Comet S2 or a Calico Los Santos Mercenaries- literally anything better than 300k - maybe the new Jet or the Monstrociti
At this point, I just get more enjoyment watching videos of Ghillie, GTAmen, Broughy, etc. playing the game more than I like playing the game myself. I just don’t have the patience for this bullsh*t game these days.
The clothing rewards are more enticing than the vehicles (except LD Organics Van and Speedo) since the clothes are unique and can't be purchase from shops.
Sometimes while playing the game, I just have this feeling that the dev team at Rockstar has been so stressed that they just didn't give a fck any more about making sure game logic works properly
Rockstar CEO: how can we piss off people playing GTA online? That one employee standing at the corner of the room I got it will make challenges that are almost impossible to complete. Rockstar CEO: genius.
Dude your tone is always what makes these videos gold. I’m with you man. I’m a day 1 player. So when I saw they added these challenges, and rewards. I thought it was a great idea. Albeit, a little late, but cool. Until I actually saw what the challenges consisted of, and the reward you got for torturing yourself attempting it. I’m like NOPE! Don’t care enough. GTA isn’t even set up to do some of these challenges. At least without regretting that you ever heard of the game.
Rockstar probably won't fix it which is why I've quit all of their games. If it helps at all, there's a rapid fire revolver glitch you could use to kill the juggernaut with.
I have played daily since January of 2014. When these challenges came out, I looked at them and said, nah. I have done most of this stuff 10 times over. Not doing all this stuff again. The OG heist part is the worst for me. Both of my old crews broke up years ago. When I play now it is mostly solo. I'm good. Thanks anyway R*.
This video hits my exact thoughts on this. All my years of playing and doing things like the OG heist Elties challenges that I know have to do again to get a Kurma when the original reward is one of the most unique T shirts in the game. I love how they’ve not added the Doomsday MasterMind challenge to the career rewards because of how buggy it is and they still can’t be bothered to patch it 😂
Rockstar not testing how challenges or mechanic changes or balance tweaks actually work with their game or missions to ensure they're actually playable with no conflicting design elements? * looks at Cayo Perico * It's more likely than you think.
the casino pistol challenge failing because the copilot in the heli died due to the helicopter crashing is hilarious and peak rockstar. i couldn't help but laugh when i heard that lmao
The Paragon R Armored only if you've hosted all of them, and the only way to host them is owning a Casino Penthouse. But yeah, I don't see anyone who's grinding that Tier 4 asking for a friend to host it for them every time
The higher ups cant think of good rewards because they dont even play their game. They just wear a suit and say, "we need people spending infinite anounts of money on our game. Make it happen" so rewards are low tier, and they give no fucks about fun, they care about engagement.
Not to mention, they only added career progress to next gen, which requires you to buy another copy of GTA 5 and to mindlessly complete the same missions we've been doing for years now.
The Tuners reward is Turismo classic. The Description of the Classic in that menu is copied almost word for word from the Turismo R. A DIFFERENT CAR ALTOGETHER.
I want to do the death match progress, but it would really help if I could find a death match. Everyone is just so scared of there KD being affected that they don't play them.
I can’t believe it’s been 6 years since I played gta online consistently and one of the biggest gripes i had was how lock on the ai was with shooting and how they tore thru the heaviest body armor like nothing and killed u so quick come to find out on a random gta video at present time THEY STILL HAVEN’T FIXED THAT
One thing I absolutely hate too is the Mercenary contracts. The FUCKING enemies spawning right behind me. Not even spawning behind a barrier or in a room LITERALLY spawning right behind me the moment I turn my back. It's the most fucking annoying game mechanic in these missons. Having enemies constantly spawning on my ass doesn't make the mission more fucking fun and engaging.
I agree completely. Also you know how hard it is to get a team of players to even do one setup let alone getting them to stay with you through all setups and heists. Shit is insane. Or how i had to tap a button without messing up for 5 minutes straight for a night club Stat award just to get tier 4. I will do some but fuck the rest.
I personally believe that Take 2 uses illogical challenges to farm data on what a devoted player base will go through in order to complete a trophy/challenge/award just for the sake of it. Obviously the end goal would be to monetize it.
The nightclub Tier 4 reward is probably the worst, which is a Speedo Custom, the vehicle you start out with in the nightclub. I assume this one's a personal vehicle version, but it still makes no sense. At least make it the Pounder Custom.
I came for freemode if it does not enrich freemode it don’t get done at all . I stopped caring after Lester heists as we all knew where we stood by then .
2019: Rockstar breaks up the "boys club" i.e. the people who hang out together and have fun and are good friends who mastermind GTA games. 2020: Rockstar begins losing the key players who were, shock of shocks, part of the 'boys club.' 2021: Rockstar begins ending overtime (because people think it's a war crime now), because the people they hired, don't like overtime and aren't even that into games. 2022: Interviews at Rockstar reveal a demoralized staff who can't work the hours they need to, can't make non-PC jokes and aren't sure about the future. 2019-2023: Take Two's influence also increase radically during this time, pushing for more and more way to monetize the game using it as an expendable test bed for GTA 6. And that's pretty much what I blame for this. And I do need to qualify on the hiring thing, they did brought on a ton of entry level people who really have no interest in the game industry and merely had degrees in relevant skills, largely to meet quotas (a harsh but accurate truth). They don't want to make games. They don't want to work overtime. They want a 9-to-5 perk filled desk job and to brag about where they work on social media. Let me tell you one objective thing that will always be true: Any game designer who does not want to work overtime and thinks that working long hours is cruel and unusual punishment has no business in this industry. Period. They have had a huge hand in ruining it - it shows the difference in the entire mindset. All the best games, all the best designers they worked - and were PROUD to work - like 60+ hour weeks. They were PROUD to pull a week straight at the office to really make the best possible game. It was their passion. It went beyond a product. ..it's the passion the people dragging every AAA company down lack. It's why small indie studios that aren't forced to hire a ton of whining people straight out of college with an basic degree in computer graphics to keep up appearances are the only only studios still being truly creative and passionate. Nobody's making the guy who made Binding of Isaac or Barotrauma work 40 hour weeks with paid vacation. They've put in 100+ hour weeks because it's their passion. AAA studios have lost that.
On tier 3 of the gun enthusiasts challenges theres one challenge that has a chance of glitching an resetting your progress for it, basically you need to visit the gun van once a day for ten days and on day six of progression when you go to claim day seven it won't count that you visited the van and even restarting your game can't fix it and I experienced this glitch twice everytime I got to day six.
When I saw the progress wasn’t properly tracked for most of the challenges, I didn’t even bother with them. R* couldn’t release stable content if they tried.
I'm so glad these are not available on old gen because knowing my completionist self I'll try to complete these and absolutely break something in my room doing so from the infuriation these would cause me.
Funniest thing of all….GTA modded car creators/collectors already have all of the vehicles like the cliffford Barrage and the LD organics van….so R* just incentivized people to do glitches to get them easier And players who did OTF genderswap have all the clothing unlocks as well (btw…..you have NO idea how old some of the clothing in the Career path thing are….some of them were in the game for over 3 years unreleased). These players also have all unreleased clothing and previous GTA+ exclusive clothing And, R* made the Lost Slamvan not the unlock for the MC missions was because they know that half of the community already has one from the ridiculously easy GCTF glitches from the past 4 years…..and that’s why they finally started fixing GCTF glitches regularly starting this update….just bc of this Career progress thing 😂
Oh, and all the exclusive liveries are accessible to everyone with a merge glitch…if you know what # livery it is on that vehicle (and while LSCM merge is fully patched, 2Console merge with NetCut remains still after all these years)
Dude you fuckin nailed it... I took a look at some of these the first day they dropped, and pretty much immediately accepted that I don't have the patience to do the apartment heists challenges, nor the casino penthouse story missions challenge, ulp missions, project overthrow missions with a pistol, without having snacks (just to name a few). Are you fuckin kidding me? Shit boggled my mind... And now after watching this video and seeing how much can go wrong and how easy it is to fail a challenge (from how you explained it) I can confirm that 95% of those challenges I'm not even going to attempt, especially after realizing and now confirmed that none of my previous efforts have gone towards the progress... Good luck on your Niko outfit crusade, but from my perspective, fuck this shit, rockstar can suck a winky
Been playing since the ps3 release and some how all the heist I did didn't count I'm shocked...well not that shocked it's Rstar and all they want to do is waste our time.
It's quite clear that the A-team is not working on GTA5 at the moment. Considering how many people play this game solo I don't think Rock* understand how difficult these challenges are and how low the incentive is to complete them. Less than 1% of all the people who have played GTA have completed the DDH. In nearly 6000 hours of online play I have only once seen a player with the T-shirt for completing all the OG heists on elite
6:36 "That's like the equivalent of McDonalds having a special where if you spend $300 you get a fucking free small drink." The McDonalds App actually does that, depending where you are. Spend $300 to get points, get a Big Mac for free. Maybe even the whole meal. And yet, as ridiculous as that is, it's still somewhat better than the Armoured Kuruma reward. No diss to my beloved Kuruma, but honestly a better prize would be something like the Hydra. And that's also a stretch.
Exactly, the majority of the Tier 4 challenges aren't even worth the effort & rewards, even for me who likes to earn freebies as much as possible. The only unique Tier 4 reward that's anywhere reasonably completable for me is the Weapon Specialist for the PV Speedo Custom.
I agree and I have been playing GTA Online since 2013. I got so frustrated trying a few of the tier 4 contact mission challenges that I had to cut the game off and go to bed early or I was going to rage-destroy a controller. The take less than 50% damage challenge is BS because even if you use snacks to keep your health above 50%, if the total damage taken exceeds 50% of your health then you fail. My pistol challenge was voided on "Casino - Cashing Out" for entering the Menacer spawned as part of the mission that automatically puts passengers on the turret. Seriously WTFing hell. Not to mention the cut scenes that automatically switch your guns and spawn you in the missile of 20 hostile NPCs on "Casino - Strong Arm Tactics" then expecting you also protect Cheng and his translator. I can't even play the Low Rider missions because some of them require 4 players. So even if I have a friend willing to help I can't even start them without hoping randoms will join that will not void any challenge I am going for and the entire point of playing them. It's such shit. Original Hiests, Doomsday, Low Riders, and Casino are mission impossible. I didn't think it was possible to hate old content more but Rockstar managed to do it.
With the Cayo Perico Winky, FUCKING EXACTLY! I have been DYING for a pv Vetir since before the update even dropped. Was so excited when I saw the truck with a livery in the teaser, and just knew I would drive that for years to come. But because it's a fucking PEGASUS VEHICLE, I haven't driven it in like two. A pv Vetir would have been amazing. If they can make a pv of the Speedo Custom, they can do this.
Have you applied to work on the rockstar balance team? I feel like you would be a great asset to the game for us and for rockstar, because you understand the problems and solutions
What crazy is for import export, is that after 400 million in sales, i still haven't even found more than 2 cars in the same collection and know i have to some how find all 8
8:25 This has been making me pause a lot, lately. I never felt this way ten years ago, but now, it seems like every person earning six or seven digits is absolutely more incompetent and less intelligence than just people you run into on the internet. Every industry - games, movies, even services. I'd understand if it was just greed (like removing the cars was greed, not stupidity) but a ton of their decisions lose their companies millions or even billions, yet they double down on the people losing them money and angering their customer base. Failing upwards is all they do, now. I feel like 10 years ago, this wasn't the case; the people at the top might have been jerks, but they weren't *actually* stupid.
I had to do Strong Arm Tactics a few times to get the pistol only challenge, the time I ended up getting it, the second and third chopper both crashed on an enemy, and I assume it killed them because their red dot on my map disappeared, but I did not get RP. What was messing me up in the first couple tries was there are two passengers in the first Buzzard that are hard to see when it is pointing directly at you. Might just be a coincidence, but I never got any of them when I used any pistol other than the basic day one pistol.
Its only a matter of time before Ghillie breaks and goes full blown Angry Joe with his rants lol. But MY GOD the insane game design here. Im not doing the challenges.
This is why i started the Casino challenge then immediately stopped. The reward was worse than just completing the casino missions on normal with no hassle. They could’ve put that livery on the armored version of that car. But no, just no, this wasn’t thought out at all. I went through this pain on the Madrazo challenge after 4 attempts when i realized i couldn’t use a rifle in the police station cause it tanked accuracy. I did all that for a hoodie with a reticle on it 😒
I learned my lesson from switching my character over only to have them revert that change this update, I'm just gonna wait till the next update when all my tier 4's are filled automatically as they should be given all I've already done in this back when this game was popular. also use the double action revolver for the pistol challenges, its suprisingly way more fun, it was something I did for the people who used to shortchange me on the first doomsday heist as I wasnt about to waste 40 grand on ammo to barely make 125, so I would just do that
Whoever made these challenges needs to get fired immediately and to be blacklisted from making video games. The missions are bad enough it’s basically impossible to do it pistols only because in strong arm tactics yours going up against a buzzard with missiles and in hard mode they never miss + Tao Cheng is super weak, he dies before you can do anything. What I think they should do in the next update is replace pistols only with explosives only.
And what about actually giving the career progress to us, PC players? We make the god damn majority of players and am sure as shit not buying a PS5 for lackluster challenges, that's for sure.
I've given up on the career challenges. Ive made two full sales from my hangar and both times it gave me zero credit towards my 1,000 units sold or the $50mil worth of product sold.
Something that annoys me, is I've already done all the tier 4 challenges for cayo. Even getting 50 million dollars. And I don't really get why Rockstar didn't check it off. It's not like they can't tell that I've done it. They have all the data to prove it.
3:04 “you have to sit there and let the helicopter fuck you with bullets” i had a hard time imagining that the right way 💀
I dont
6:53 The fun fact is that it's not even the biker dlc daemon, but it's the 2013 vanilla version that you can get from the streets

@klimaxkid yea, that happens to me too. I use a sniper most of the time so I can't fail
I feel like every update it gets more and more apparent that the devs don't play GTA Online themselves...
We really need to bring all these problems to Rockstar's attention
people have been doing this. they simply just don’t care
The moneys still flowing why should they care
@@TheSoggybiscuit108facts
@@user-kx8qi7nk4lI bet if people stop playing they would. We need to just stop for a while and see how they react. They will continue like this because no matter how we rant we will still play the game, that's what Rockstar likes to see so they just don't care.
@@YaboiCalosNo, only thing that'd actually get them to remotely care is if GTA 6 didn't sell hardly at all... THEN, R* would actually listen. But, problem is though, "gamers" these days are such simp NPCs that'll rush out and buy any level of hot garbage just because it's new. Look at COD the past decade...no matter how trash that series has become since Advanced Warfare dropped, idiots still line up in the masses 20hrs before it releases. WWII and BO4 are prime examples of the level of garbage people will still buy! Only recently have their numbers started mildly going down. But there's still several millions of people playing.
7:00 If the bike on the picture here is the one you get, it's actually worse than that I think. You know how there are 2 versions of the Daemon, one that's been in the game since day one, one with more customization added with the Bikers DLC. Based on the Lost logos on the seat of the bike on the picture, it looks like the former. *_You know, the version that spawns on the street sometimes._*
Yeah, what _really_ grinds my gears with the new Career Rewards system is the absolutely lackluster "rewards" for completing them.
Each tier should have *_multiple_* rewards for each categories Tier Rewards such as path-related clothing like the Diamond Strike Vest (which I still regret missing out on), as well as the Tier 4 Rewards including massive payouts, non-timed discounts for websites, or even permanent buffs for heists like the Casino Heist or Cayo Perico where each tier completed earns you a permanent chance to possibly get Diamonds/Panther Statue for the respective Heists that gets higher with each Tier completed.
What grinds my gears is that alot of what I did over the years playing this game doesnt count. I don't want to go back and grind anything Ive made hundreds of millions of dollars from.
That helicopter thing sounds really stupid lol
Rockstar's Job They believe is to waste Your Time. When viewed in that context everything begins to make sense.
Yep
yeah, pistol only challenges aren't worth the trouble for doing... I agree that on the tier 4 rewards should've been 500k or a million, along with an actuallly rare car (Lost Slamvan, Spacedocker, etc) that would motivate me to actually try (even though I'm solo)
A million is still too little for this, you could could do a cayo perico, which is way easier, and bam, theres your reward, a better reward would be a random chance to get diamonds (diamond casino rewards) or the panther statue (cayo perico rewards), that way not only can you always get the limited time stuff that is otherwise impossible to get, you get a reward that you wont just spend in a single day, a reward that keeps on giving, or maybe for the other there could be a take increase for the respective businesses, like mc businesses, the agency, etc
The Bikers tier 4 could have the Lost variant of the Gang Burrito (which is blacklisted for some reason) if they didn't want to put the lost slamvan.
I agree with one thing you said, for completing everything with the bikers update should be a lost slimvan as our tier 4 reward. I myself just like a lot of players want the lost slimvan without trying to win it from the lucky wheel in the casino since it’s very hard to win it. At least put the Lost Slimvan on Southern San Andreas to purchase and it wouldn’t matter to me if it was priced anywhere over 1 million dollars. I can’t imagine what we could get for the Christmas update and what rewards in the career progress will be if they aren’t enticing enough to grind for.
Also, the own a High End apartment one is bugged. I own a high end apartment yet the challenge just doesn’t seem to want to accept as completed. Also I can easily find better career progress rewards
OG heists- the Insurgent Pickup Custom + Cop outfit
Biker- Lost Slamvan
Import/Export- Free garage upgrade
Beach Bum- a free house at Vespucci Beach
Gunrunning- Weaponized Tampa with all weapon upgrades unlocked
Doomsday Heist- Thruster
Casino update- free Poker/Black Jack table upgrade
Casino Heist- NOOSE uniform
Cayo Heist- Toreador
Summer Update- the UFO buggy
Contract- Franklin’s Buffalo STX or Dre’s Champion
Criminal Enterprises- undercover police car + an IAA badge you can use on any outfit
Drug Wars- potentially a Burger Shot outfit
Drug Wars 2- potentially a squirrel outfit
Tuners- Comet S2 or a Calico
Los Santos Mercenaries- literally anything better than 300k - maybe the new Jet or the Monstrociti
At this point, I just get more enjoyment watching videos of Ghillie, GTAmen, Broughy, etc. playing the game more than I like playing the game myself. I just don’t have the patience for this bullsh*t game these days.
Heck, I’m personally glad to be almost- retired.
The clothing rewards are more enticing than the vehicles (except LD Organics Van and Speedo) since the clothes are unique and can't be purchase from shops.
Sometimes while playing the game, I just have this feeling that the dev team at Rockstar has been so stressed that they just didn't give a fck any more about making sure game logic works properly
Rockstar CEO: how can we piss off people playing GTA online?
That one employee standing at the corner of the room I got it will make challenges that are almost impossible to complete.
Rockstar CEO: genius.
Funny scenario, but unbelievable. ..
...Rockstar lacks critical planning and forethought skills to deliberately make an unwinnable challenge.
You're hired
Dude your tone is always what makes these videos gold. I’m with you man. I’m a day 1 player. So when I saw they added these challenges, and rewards. I thought it was a great idea. Albeit, a little late, but cool. Until I actually saw what the challenges consisted of, and the reward you got for torturing yourself attempting it. I’m like NOPE! Don’t care enough. GTA isn’t even set up to do some of these challenges. At least without regretting that you ever heard of the game.
Rockstar probably won't fix it which is why I've quit all of their games. If it helps at all, there's a rapid fire revolver glitch you could use to kill the juggernaut with.
I can't believe the game he is talking about is 10 years old, and developed by a highly experienced developer studio.
That became extremely greedy when the og people left
I have played daily since January of 2014. When these challenges came out, I looked at them and said, nah. I have done most of this stuff 10 times over. Not doing all this stuff again. The OG heist part is the worst for me. Both of my old crews broke up years ago. When I play now it is mostly solo. I'm good. Thanks anyway R*.
7:45 Hearing a grown man be furious about "the winky" has made my week
This video hits my exact thoughts on this. All my years of playing and doing things like the OG heist Elties challenges that I know have to do again to get a Kurma when the original reward is one of the most unique T shirts in the game. I love how they’ve not added the Doomsday MasterMind challenge to the career rewards because of how buggy it is and they still can’t be bothered to patch it 😂
Fantastic rant.
I've blown a fuse or two myself doing this progress 🤪
The biggest issue is that they are not available on old gen or PC.
They'll probably be more balanced by the time they make it to PC, if they ever will
@@Lucios1995 Considering PC still doesn't even have HSW, career progress will never make it to PC
1 go upgrade 🤡
2 ps has hackers🤡🤡
Nah most things come to pc Cus they’ll just mod the stats to all complete
Rockstar not testing how challenges or mechanic changes or balance tweaks actually work with their game or missions to ensure they're actually playable with no conflicting design elements?
* looks at Cayo Perico *
It's more likely than you think.
"What's the worst that could happen? We have fun in the game?"
True facts.
the casino pistol challenge failing because the copilot in the heli died due to the helicopter crashing is hilarious and peak rockstar. i couldn't help but laugh when i heard that lmao
That’s modern gaming for you, why have QA testers when they can have their players test the content
i love how despite being a gta creator, he doesnt mind venting off to his extent as he did when it's completely justified
Not to mention with the casino penthouse missions, you also get over a million dollars and the paragon R armoured as a first time bonus.
The Paragon R Armored only if you've hosted all of them, and the only way to host them is owning a Casino Penthouse. But yeah, I don't see anyone who's grinding that Tier 4 asking for a friend to host it for them every time
Basically untested shitty/annoying challenges with lazily thought rewards,
sounds quite right.
The higher ups cant think of good rewards because they dont even play their game. They just wear a suit and say, "we need people spending infinite anounts of money on our game. Make it happen" so rewards are low tier, and they give no fucks about fun, they care about engagement.
It's also stupid that these are only an option for next gen systems.
PC players and people with older consoles just don't matter anymore, I guess...
The power of expanded & enhanced
It's B.S.
They shouldn't hide content for a ten year old game behind multiple paywalls.
As a day one player i don't appreciate having a long grind full of things I've already done or no one wanted to do lol
Not to mention, they only added career progress to next gen, which requires you to buy another copy of GTA 5 and to mindlessly complete the same missions we've been doing for years now.
The Tuners reward is Turismo classic. The Description of the Classic in that menu is copied almost word for word from the Turismo R. A DIFFERENT CAR ALTOGETHER.
I want to do the death match progress, but it would really help if I could find a death match. Everyone is just so scared of there KD being affected that they don't play them.
I can’t believe it’s been 6 years since I played gta online consistently and one of the biggest gripes i had was how lock on the ai was with shooting and how they tore thru the heaviest body armor like nothing and killed u so quick come to find out on a random gta video at present time THEY STILL HAVEN’T FIXED THAT
One thing I absolutely hate too is the Mercenary contracts. The FUCKING enemies spawning right behind me. Not even spawning behind a barrier or in a room LITERALLY spawning right behind me the moment I turn my back. It's the most fucking annoying game mechanic in these missons. Having enemies constantly spawning on my ass doesn't make the mission more fucking fun and engaging.
I think you forgot that, if you get 50,000,000 from the heists, I doubt that you don't have enough for the armored karuma anyways.
I agree completely. Also you know how hard it is to get a team of players to even do one setup let alone getting them to stay with you through all setups and heists. Shit is insane. Or how i had to tap a button without messing up for 5 minutes straight for a night club Stat award just to get tier 4. I will do some but fuck the rest.
I personally believe that Take 2 uses illogical challenges to farm data on what a devoted player base will go through in order to complete a trophy/challenge/award just for the sake of it. Obviously the end goal would be to monetize it.
I don't know if this is amazing or not but no matter how low your expectations, Rockstar can still disappoint you
5:30 they removed the paragon r that’s why it’s the reward
The nightclub Tier 4 reward is probably the worst, which is a Speedo Custom, the vehicle you start out with in the nightclub. I assume this one's a personal vehicle version, but it still makes no sense. At least make it the Pounder Custom.
Hey, glad to hear another rant video from you, my friend
Well It’s nice to see you guys not sleepwalking through all of the challenges
I came for freemode if it does not enrich freemode it don’t get done at all . I stopped caring after Lester heists as we all knew where we stood by then .
07:46 A fucking WINKYY??!?!
2019: Rockstar breaks up the "boys club" i.e. the people who hang out together and have fun and are good friends who mastermind GTA games.
2020: Rockstar begins losing the key players who were, shock of shocks, part of the 'boys club.'
2021: Rockstar begins ending overtime (because people think it's a war crime now), because the people they hired, don't like overtime and aren't even that into games.
2022: Interviews at Rockstar reveal a demoralized staff who can't work the hours they need to, can't make non-PC jokes and aren't sure about the future.
2019-2023: Take Two's influence also increase radically during this time, pushing for more and more way to monetize the game using it as an expendable test bed for GTA 6.
And that's pretty much what I blame for this. And I do need to qualify on the hiring thing, they did brought on a ton of entry level people who really have no interest in the game industry and merely had degrees in relevant skills, largely to meet quotas (a harsh but accurate truth). They don't want to make games. They don't want to work overtime. They want a 9-to-5 perk filled desk job and to brag about where they work on social media.
Let me tell you one objective thing that will always be true: Any game designer who does not want to work overtime and thinks that working long hours is cruel and unusual punishment has no business in this industry. Period. They have had a huge hand in ruining it - it shows the difference in the entire mindset. All the best games, all the best designers they worked - and were PROUD to work - like 60+ hour weeks. They were PROUD to pull a week straight at the office to really make the best possible game. It was their passion. It went beyond a product.
..it's the passion the people dragging every AAA company down lack. It's why small indie studios that aren't forced to hire a ton of whining people straight out of college with an basic degree in computer graphics to keep up appearances are the only only studios still being truly creative and passionate.
Nobody's making the guy who made Binding of Isaac or Barotrauma work 40 hour weeks with paid vacation. They've put in 100+ hour weeks because it's their passion. AAA studios have lost that.
On tier 3 of the gun enthusiasts challenges theres one challenge that has a chance of glitching an resetting your progress for it, basically you need to visit the gun van once a day for ten days and on day six of progression when you go to claim day seven it won't count that you visited the van and even restarting your game can't fix it and I experienced this glitch twice everytime I got to day six.
When I saw the progress wasn’t properly tracked for most of the challenges, I didn’t even bother with them. R* couldn’t release stable content if they tried.
my opinion on leveling after 150 is that every level gets you 100k
This explains a lot. Now I know why I have all these challenges that should've been completed when they released that aren't.
I'm so glad these are not available on old gen because knowing my completionist self I'll try to complete these and absolutely break something in my room doing so from the infuriation these would cause me.
Funniest thing of all….GTA modded car creators/collectors already have all of the vehicles like the cliffford Barrage and the LD organics van….so R* just incentivized people to do glitches to get them easier
And players who did OTF genderswap have all the clothing unlocks as well (btw…..you have NO idea how old some of the clothing in the Career path thing are….some of them were in the game for over 3 years unreleased). These players also have all unreleased clothing and previous GTA+ exclusive clothing
And, R* made the Lost Slamvan not the unlock for the MC missions was because they know that half of the community already has one from the ridiculously easy GCTF glitches from the past 4 years…..and that’s why they finally started fixing GCTF glitches regularly starting this update….just bc of this Career progress thing 😂
Oh, and all the exclusive liveries are accessible to everyone with a merge glitch…if you know what # livery it is on that vehicle (and while LSCM merge is fully patched, 2Console merge with NetCut remains still after all these years)
Dude you fuckin nailed it... I took a look at some of these the first day they dropped, and pretty much immediately accepted that I don't have the patience to do the apartment heists challenges, nor the casino penthouse story missions challenge, ulp missions, project overthrow missions with a pistol, without having snacks (just to name a few). Are you fuckin kidding me? Shit boggled my mind... And now after watching this video and seeing how much can go wrong and how easy it is to fail a challenge (from how you explained it) I can confirm that 95% of those challenges I'm not even going to attempt, especially after realizing and now confirmed that none of my previous efforts have gone towards the progress... Good luck on your Niko outfit crusade, but from my perspective, fuck this shit, rockstar can suck a winky
Been playing since the ps3 release and some how all the heist I did didn't count I'm shocked...well not that shocked it's Rstar and all they want to do is waste our time.
Player: Fix your damn game or give US something good!
Rockstar: best I can do is
🖕

Lol
Lol people really think the devs test their stuff before releasing it. Assembly line work that's what it is.
one day they may add The E & E Stuff to Pc version... But from the sound of it, its poorly planned anyway. The only one i want is the LD Organics Van
It's quite clear that the A-team is not working on GTA5 at the moment. Considering how many people play this game solo I don't think Rock* understand how difficult these challenges are and how low the incentive is to complete them. Less than 1% of all the people who have played GTA have completed the DDH. In nearly 6000 hours of online play I have only once seen a player with the T-shirt for completing all the OG heists on elite
Rant well deserved, my friend. Rockstar is full of shit way too often. 💯👏🏾
Full cesspit level 💩
7:44 the rage in your voice sums up modern rockstar experiences so well😭
Rapid fire bug? Who said that's a bug? That's a feature for "increasing difficulty" xd
I was joking when I said a 10-minute rant was coming but he actually did it 😭
For that one challenge that requires you to visit the gun van for 10 days in a row, i’ve had it randomly reset so many times that i’ve just given up
I honestly feel the devs are flabbergasted and exhausted people are still play this game and are secretly trying to undermine the game.
6:36 "That's like the equivalent of McDonalds having a special where if you spend $300 you get a fucking free small drink."
The McDonalds App actually does that, depending where you are. Spend $300 to get points, get a Big Mac for free. Maybe even the whole meal. And yet, as ridiculous as that is, it's still somewhat better than the Armoured Kuruma reward. No diss to my beloved Kuruma, but honestly a better prize would be something like the Hydra. And that's also a stretch.
Exactly, the majority of the Tier 4 challenges aren't even worth the effort & rewards, even for me who likes to earn freebies as much as possible. The only unique Tier 4 reward that's anywhere reasonably completable for me is the Weapon Specialist for the PV Speedo Custom.
I agree and I have been playing GTA Online since 2013. I got so frustrated trying a few of the tier 4 contact mission challenges that I had to cut the game off and go to bed early or I was going to rage-destroy a controller. The take less than 50% damage challenge is BS because even if you use snacks to keep your health above 50%, if the total damage taken exceeds 50% of your health then you fail. My pistol challenge was voided on "Casino - Cashing Out" for entering the Menacer spawned as part of the mission that automatically puts passengers on the turret. Seriously WTFing hell. Not to mention the cut scenes that automatically switch your guns and spawn you in the missile of 20 hostile NPCs on "Casino - Strong Arm Tactics" then expecting you also protect Cheng and his translator. I can't even play the Low Rider missions because some of them require 4 players. So even if I have a friend willing to help I can't even start them without hoping randoms will join that will not void any challenge I am going for and the entire point of playing them. It's such shit. Original Hiests, Doomsday, Low Riders, and Casino are mission impossible. I didn't think it was possible to hate old content more but Rockstar managed to do it.
I think I speak for everyone when I say:STOP PLAYING GTA ONLINE SO ROCKSTAR CAN UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAD ENOUGH!!!!!!!
With the Cayo Perico Winky, FUCKING EXACTLY! I have been DYING for a pv Vetir since before the update even dropped. Was so excited when I saw the truck with a livery in the teaser, and just knew I would drive that for years to come. But because it's a fucking PEGASUS VEHICLE, I haven't driven it in like two. A pv Vetir would have been amazing. If they can make a pv of the Speedo Custom, they can do this.
Have you applied to work on the rockstar balance team? I feel like you would be a great asset to the game for us and for rockstar, because you understand the problems and solutions
8:52 Literally answered your own question on why Rockstar makes the decisions they do
What crazy is for import export, is that after 400 million in sales, i still haven't even found more than 2 cars in the same collection and know i have to some how find all 8
The Tuner exotic car exports do not spawn anymore on the map either so you can’t get the daily 10 cars for the tier 3 hoodie.
8:25 This has been making me pause a lot, lately. I never felt this way ten years ago, but now, it seems like every person earning six or seven digits is absolutely more incompetent and less intelligence than just people you run into on the internet. Every industry - games, movies, even services. I'd understand if it was just greed (like removing the cars was greed, not stupidity) but a ton of their decisions lose their companies millions or even billions, yet they double down on the people losing them money and angering their customer base. Failing upwards is all they do, now. I feel like 10 years ago, this wasn't the case; the people at the top might have been jerks, but they weren't *actually* stupid.
I had to do Strong Arm Tactics a few times to get the pistol only challenge, the time I ended up getting it, the second and third chopper both crashed on an enemy, and I assume it killed them because their red dot on my map disappeared, but I did not get RP. What was messing me up in the first couple tries was there are two passengers in the first Buzzard that are hard to see when it is pointing directly at you. Might just be a coincidence, but I never got any of them when I used any pistol other than the basic day one pistol.
Its only a matter of time before Ghillie breaks and goes full blown Angry Joe with his rants lol. But MY GOD the insane game design here. Im not doing the challenges.
This is why i started the Casino challenge then immediately stopped. The reward was worse than just completing the casino missions on normal with no hassle. They could’ve put that livery on the armored version of that car. But no, just no, this wasn’t thought out at all. I went through this pain on the Madrazo challenge after 4 attempts when i realized i couldn’t use a rifle in the police station cause it tanked accuracy. I did all that for a hoodie with a reticle on it 😒
It’s on you guys for playing GTA online. If everyone just stopped playing this shit for a while they’d fix it
I like the career challenges but I don’t go out of my way for them since when they were added it didn’t count ANY of my weeks of progress beforehand
I learned my lesson from switching my character over only to have them revert that change this update, I'm just gonna wait till the next update when all my tier 4's are filled automatically as they should be given all I've already done in this back when this game was popular.
also use the double action revolver for the pistol challenges, its suprisingly way more fun, it was something I did for the people who used to shortchange me on the first doomsday heist
as I wasnt about to waste 40 grand on ammo to barely make 125, so I would just do that
PC player here, watching this video thinking, da fuck is Career Progress? then i relise its not on the pc version for some reason....
Whoever made these challenges needs to get fired immediately and to be blacklisted from making video games. The missions are bad enough it’s basically impossible to do it pistols only because in strong arm tactics yours going up against a buzzard with missiles and in hard mode they never miss + Tao Cheng is super weak, he dies before you can do anything. What I think they should do in the next update is replace pistols only with explosives only.
And what about actually giving the career progress to us, PC players? We make the god damn majority of players and am sure as shit not buying a PS5 for lackluster challenges, that's for sure.
I've given up on the career challenges. Ive made two full sales from my hangar and both times it gave me zero credit towards my 1,000 units sold or the $50mil worth of product sold.
The rewards aren't even worth it, overall, anyways.
2:17 This is just the ultimate Gold Medal objectives for GTA Online
7:44
I lost it. I feel the exact same.
Something that annoys me, is I've already done all the tier 4 challenges for cayo. Even getting 50 million dollars. And I don't really get why Rockstar didn't check it off. It's not like they can't tell that I've done it. They have all the data to prove it.
