♥♥♥♥ this game and what it practices. It's an amazing story and quite a bit of fun, but all of these "good times" are far removed when you run into the many issues this game entitles.

Not Being Able to Play If you have no Internet connection is major flaw and i hope No future games ever hold this as law from now on. I lost my internet connection for a week. In this week, I had no option to play this game Offline. It was manditory to play online. With this feature, It feels like we don't even own the game, It's more like we are renting it under their guidelines, and Paying Full price for the game really pisses me off.

I spent 3 days enjoying this game fully, to 3 weeks to disliking it immesnely. To all those people who agree with this "periodic entitlement verification" I counter you with, Pirates ! ♥♥♥♥ your "Entitlement" you greedy pigs! If you must own this game, Do it through pirates. Corperations have always wanted to limit you on your ability to take care of yourself, because they don't believe in you. Well, I believe in you, and your power, your voice. This company is so large, Pirating their software would not effect them that much.

I do not endorse pirating too much, because i believe if someone worked hard for something, they do deserve a piece of the cake, But this is going to far. This is taking all the cake for themselves and not even thinking about sharing it with anyone. I'm really not looking forward to these business models, and it's up to the people, to endorse these actions, or remove them from power. How you say? Humans have the amazing ability to problem solve, but we rely on others to do it for us. We need to believe that our actions, our voice has meaning, and that it carries on further than we think.

Games that practice this type of DRM, I say, Pirate from all these corperations. The games that don't use these DRMs, Support them and donate if possible. Games are not meant to feel like work, And this game tries really hard to make you work for it, Because it says, "I"m a really good ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game, so bow down ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥". And we actually bow, but I believe it's time we get our heads out of our asses and actually see what these corperations are doing to these wonderful games.

We are ment to escape our reality when jumping into a game, Not be faced with a corperate dance that you have to sacrifice a goat to please Gaming gods in order to have a fun time. Games are supposed to create a sense of enjoyment, a sense of wonderment, But with these practices in place, It Sucks all the life from the enjoyment you are suppose to feel.

It feels like Corperations are sucking out the soul of gaming, and replacing it with a money making model instead. Perhaps that was the intention of corperations all along, When they start to interfere with such an amazing story telling venue, It removes it from the true purpose of gaming. Now all they intent to do is make money, by any means.

When i bought this game, I had to wonder why there was soooo many people writing negative reviews for this game on steam.. Now i know why, and i completely agree with majority of them on many different levels.

The story of this game is amazing, the gameplay is fluid, the mechanics are beyond anything i've experienced before, But all these positives are completely overshadowed by these terrible DRM practices. Limitations of when and where you get to play your game, is a travesty. As i said before, It feels like i paid for a game that i don't entirely own. They put you on a tight lease that is chocking the life out of you and your fun, and they wonder whats wrong.

Games like this are making me question every purchase from future game holders. They are losing my trust and my faith at an alarming rate. Gaming should bring people closer together, not seprate them through "Entitlement". Please be mindful of your purchases and be sure to express yourself when concerns arise. We have the ability to say to our friends, what a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ practice this is. If your friend needs to play a certain game, hook him up. Let people play for free for a certain time to make sure they are happy with their purchases.

I love gaming and I love this type of entertainment, but I don't like corperations taking advantage of our loves. Removing the soul of the game to make profit in abundance. I guess that's just what governments and corperations are best known for. Sucking out the soul and leaving nothing behind but an emtpy shell. A ghost with no purpose. All for the sake of making a quick buck.

Thanks for creating a ghost of a shell with no heart and soul. Your busniess model is paving the way for many corperations that love to suck lives from everything, to have a chance at sucking out your life, your love, and your enjoyment. Good game, Rockstar. Good game, Society.

To all those who took the time to read this review, Understand that you have value, that your actions have real repercussions on the gaming community as a whole community. We are in the same boat as you, and all we want is more freedom to choose a better road for all of us. Be mindful of which corperations are pushing these types of endorsements, and try your best, not to support any of these actions. I know it's really hard not to purchase one of your favorite game titles, because It's very difficult for me. But when these practices are taking over the gaming industry, we all need to band together, like a brother in arms, a sisterhood, and a great loving gaming community, To tell these people, and demonstrate through our action, that these will not be tolerated.

Such a difficult thing to combat if we don't have a community that works together that shares a similar philosophy. Pardon my rant, and thank you for taking the time to read this. I know it's a lot to read and digest, but it's something that i feel, needs to be addressed. Live long as prosper, and may the force always be strong in you. Stay gold pony boy.
