Nicest character I've seen. Good stuff.
Kept hitting Random on the Character screen, and got John Marston as my Father. LOL
oh,
and been trying to get online gaming since 8.30pm AU and now it's 10.50pm, and NOT ONE connection for a game. Fuck off Rockstar.
You should've had everything sorted and prepared
I had my doubts when online wasn't ready for the game when it launched, and this just confirms it for me.
Once i've got Next Gen in my hands, this is gone for good.

It's good to know that method only makes things worse.
Yeah, currently he has not returned and I don't think he's going to this time.

Give them a break guys it's only been a few hours. It's like you've never experienced online issues before. Are we so quick to forget diablo??

This doesn't bode well for online only game launches like Destiny and Titanfall.
Come on Rockstar, you even had an extra 2 weeks to prepare!

Heh
This exact same thing just happened to me. Intentionally got the cops after me. After taking ages to arrive, I let them kill me...instant respawn, and still no "race trigger" to be found. Couldn't even pause the game!

Managed to get snapmatic to upload:
Bullet wounds work to full effect in the multiplayer! My back was a riddled mess. Think my character looks nice enough.
How did you even get those lips. That's what I can't seem to wrap my head around. This is sorcery at its finest
Free add on? No, it is part of the game that people paid for.
Edit: LOL I'm getting a blank screen trying to download the update.

This is absolutely insane. Over 15 million people have bought this game by now I guess, how the hell did R* not see the demand coming? That's a lame ass excuse. After all, they've sold a ton of copies, so know they how much is out there....
I wonder when we can finally start playing normally. I've still never been able to take a picture in the SP, because it couldn't connect to their damn Social Club bs.

*dodges tomato*

Needs repeating
There seems to be texture streaming/loading issues which is making characters look ass when being created, with that said, if you're eager to play now it seems you may not get a look you'll necessarily like, but they will look better in-game.
lol
LOL
SMH at some of the comments here. Yes, it sucks that a lot of us can't get on right now but R* very clearly told us to expect problems in the beginning weeks. More people bought the game than they expected and they are absolutely doing everything they can to get things going. I guess I just mentally prepared myself for the reality that I'd probably have problems getting on and didn't get my hopes up. Crap happens and there's no use crying over spilt milk. This is only temporary.

Get to a race trigger that never appears lol
Ooooh, the trigger is right behind lamars car. I got it to appear but now it's stuck on launching session lol
Yeah I don't have a clue either, every girl I try to create looks fucking awful.
No, because an entire game mod, not even available at release ( sorry it doesn't make it a free addon ), still isn't working for release, not because they didn't anticipate the sales, but like whith every big release with heavy server need ( like mmorpg ), they always choose too few server to save money, even thought it always end-up either with a non working multiplayer, or big waiting time in queue ( which they didn't even implement as a safe gard ).
Id say in a week or two it will be running fine. They can prepare for this but its to expensive. So they let it be a clusterfuck for the first few weeks and then less people play and it starts to work.
Precisely. R* want this to work. Let them sort through the myriad problems that are gonna happen on any online launch. This is what happens, folks. Stuff breaks.

Everything is busted atm, everything.
Most importantly character creator:
Gonna give this a try now.
Where? Do you need to be on foot or in a car? I'm so confused.
Would you describe it as an expansion pack to the single player? Regarding the online solo missions?

For all these people acting high and mighty about "lawwl who didn't see this coming", for most people connecting online is working fine, but the actual tutorial isn't working properly. It's not down to too many people online, as it doesn't even load in solo. It's just glitched.
Maybe try it yourself before declaring yourself better than everyone else.

Am pissed I wasted 2 hours and all I could do was drive around without any missions or activities in solo mode.
However, the idea of playing my own character in a GTA world is awesome, I am still super excited to play the game when its fixed.

People were honestly expecting to get a perfect connection on day 1 for GTA:O, with the immense popularity THIS game gets?
Has the memory of Diablo 3 PC launch so easily forgotten. RockStar is a major dev, but NO developer is ever prepared for the mass of online logins of millions of people tying to hit the servers to play online on day one. Not even Blizzard could handle it, why do some expect Rockstar to be able to handle this differently?
This should have been expected.
