Grand Theft Auto Online Diary - Day 6

I keep saying I'm going to quit playing this game, that I should stop because I find it more mediocre and frustrating than fun, but it never manages to be so frustrating that I want to be done with the whole thing. It probably helped that I played rain today and I was desperate for a game with actual gameplay.

Grand Theft Auto Online Diary - Day 5

I was thinking of letting this be the last day I played it, but I didn't get enough time in, so I'll give it one more day.

Grand Theft Auto Online Diary - Day 4

I'm not sure how much more I can do this. I finally spent the whole afternoon playing GTA Online and I found it more frustrating than fun.

Grand Theft Auto Online Diary - Day 3

I did it, I finally got through all the stupid collection side missions in single-player mode. I knew I would obsess over those, but I finished them. Except for that stunt jump one, and the other trick ones, those are just ridiculous.

Grand Theft Auto Online Diary - Day 2

I only played a little bit today, where I did not make any progress from yesterday. I started off in the parking lot Lamar dropped me off in yesterday, but this time there was no glowing blue circle, which I think starts the race and gathers everyone together, to step into. I tried to open a few of the cars in the parking lot to see if that would start the race, but none of them would open. I tried to leave but Lamar would yell at me to get in the car whenever I started heading towards the parking lot, and I was afraid to defy him because I didn't want this to get any more screwed up, so I just quit.

Grand Theft Auto Online Diary - Day 1

Instead of adding an addendum to my review of Grand Theft Auto V going over Grand Theft Auto Online, I thought I would write diary entries for my experience with the online game. I had a good reason for doing this, but I do not remember what it was.
