Played this quite a lot on PS4 some years ago and loved previous GTA on PC but never purchased GTA V.
Toyed with the idea of getting it in the recent steam sale. Can anyone give any feedback on what the online community is like this late in the game?

I thought that was just me, usually have to compete the captcha 2 or 3 times to get in.
They are probably making money off us competing it, no other captcha ever asks me for as much verification as this one.
Depends on what you would like to do. If you have some friends or find a good crew, then it can be a lot of fun. However going into it now as a new player is rather daunting as you need a lot of cash to be able to really get on. The whole economy is now geared up towards shark cards and as a new player it is a nightmare. The community itself can be very toxic still and there is significant griefing due to Deluxo and Oppressor vehicles.
New Nightlife DLC is a complete waste of time and cash. It is a total grind with no reward. The clubs are great and the music is fab but the business side is appalling. I have spent a bit of time on it today and made no money. Done resupply mission to make 10K a day on the club where my daily outgoings for business staff alone is now 25K. So that is now 40k in total with vehicle and other stuff every 45 mins for 10K earned for a 6 million club.... As for resupplying biker business's... well just not worth it.

Well, after however many years and however many thousands of hours I put into GTA V, I got banned and my progress reset for god knows what.
Uninstalled. Not even that mad, I got a ton of game play out of it and saw most of what the game had to offer. I can't face starting all over again, especially with everything being so damned expensive now.

Thanks for the feedback, sounds like much more of a grind than I remember!
That sucks bigtime!
Same here. It's ridiculous that Rockstar can do these automated bans and still maintain the policy of not discussing any account suspension or punishment. Hundreds/thousands of hours gone to waste

You should appeal it, can’t remeber who it was but it happened to someone here and they got their stuff back minus some money... was it you strudders?
Yeah it was, I got all my stuff back less my $48 million. There were a load of us who had completed the firing range achievement just after the gun running DLC dropped. I had the account back in three days. However I only contacted them one time after the ban as the ticket was closed straight away. Same thing happened in March of this year. Again 2 or 3 days and loads had their accounts restored but loads did not.
R* are shocking when this happens as there is no appeal or redress.

Redux is really really good, so what if other modders are moaning etc, still shouldn't put you off using it, could all be nothing but jealousy from other modders for all we know.
Have you still got you save file from when you completed it? and did you enable cloud saves?
If not, do the prologue and enable cloud saving or download a game save.
hi played single player a couple of times and just love it,hate the grind of online mode.have a question I'm going to start another single player playthrough and would like to know how hard is it to mod the game once I finish this playthrough,say compared to modding skyrim or fallout,and any useful links on modding it.thanks for your time
I assumed cloud saves would be on be default. I will have to check. Cheers.
I haven't modded it in a long time, i stopped once i started playing online but from what i remember it was really easy to mod, there was a program that loaded the mods for you and was all installed into another folder so it didnt interfere with your game files. It was much easier than Skyrim modding so if your experienced at that then youll find it easy.
