Ok dude I was willing to give you the benefit of doubt that you actually know what your talking about as a fellow gamer. You sure showed me how wrong I was. So either your a troll (and I hope so for your sake) or your a gaming moron (that means your an idiot who doesn't understand how games work and has little experience playing them) that's never finished the game. Do you know what Satire mean? do you understand what a social critique is? Only an absolute idiot would take GTA story at face value (like the majority of the moron media). GTA has from the very beginning (GTA 1 in 2D) has been satire of our modern day culture!!! Its a critic of our modern day American dream. The story reflects this if you take the time to actually listen and watch the cut scenes, player dialogue and radio channels. Now if you don't like it fair enough, that your opinion but comparing it to destiny's turd of an excuse for a story is simply moronic. (one game has a story even if you don't like it and the other has nothing) Now to talk about release: The game launched without any problems!!! however the online was buggy as hell. But your where still able to play the single player mode without any problem. It took Rockstar about a month to fix the online so that it actually worked properly. The Online was and remain totally FREE!!! There is no hidden cost, there is no pay to play, there is not DLC that installs a pay wall!!! However there are shark cards that allow you buy credit in game (this would be like Destiny allowing you to buy glimmer or materials)/. Now on the other hand you have Destiny who was buggy at launch (inexcusable for a online only game), Has no story to speak of, Charges you for every bit of content (no matter how glitchy and buggy it is), releases DLC that install pay walls and forces you to regrind your weapons, Nerfs the game to force you to play the way they want you to play (boost their own user stats) and rewards noobs and time wasters of actual gamers (RNG fiasco). Come on Noobsrtoast wake up and smell the dooty :) Keep gaming and save the FRACKING world
