It takes so damn long to load into multiplayer in these titles I just don't have the patience or will to play them. Console and pc are both too long
Rockstar needs to fix this in future games

GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 online play are a chore to get into simply due to loading times

Yeah, loading is atrocious.
GTA V could benefit from a PS4 Pro/ One X patch.. if Rockstar even bothered with one.

Yep. GTAV even on a SSD it's terrible to the point where I often just pick something else to play. Shame to read RDR2 is the same thing. I won't be picking that up anytime soon.
Assuming a next gen port, it'll be interesting to see how Rockstar handles folks loading quickly into lobbies vs players loading slowly.
The attrotious loading times going from lobby to mission to lobby are what stopped me from playing early on.

It baffles me that years and a whole console gen later, GTA Online is still a fucking mess held together by duct tape and glue.
Just last year, it was a nightmare to get into lobbies with friends and that's not even taking the huge load times into account. And if you get booted or fail to connect? GOTTA LOAD CAMPAIGN MODE FIRST AND THEN RELOAD GTA ONLINE.
This game prints money. It's the highest selling.... anything ever in the history of media.
And yet its basic performance is still shit.

RDR2 loadings are bad, but in no way is even close to GTAO loadings. Those things are a nightmare.
Those aren't the only games.
I havent used my PS4 Pro for a year, came back, tried GoW, HZD and DS and was frankly, shocked at the loading times. Playing on a laptop with SSD really spoilt me.

I stopped playing GTAO after I did the initial batch of online heists and got bored of freeroam due to this exact reason, it just isn't worth all the time you spend waiting. Between matchmaking, time spent waiting for lobby timers and all the loading between you can easily spend as much if not more time waiting to play the game than actually playing it.
Loading times and connection failure for the online portion are my own gripe with GTAVO and RDR2O too. It's just too much.
I agree. It's one of the reasons I stopped playing it so much. I've been working towards 100% rdr2 and I was considering jumping back into GTAO. but I thought about those loading screens and dropping from lobbies, and questioning whether the game was locked or just dropping me, and I quickly changed my mind. That said, I had some incredible moments online that I'll treasure for as long as I can possibly remember.
The connectivity's consistency itself is trash too, not only are you sitting through long loads, you are doing it multiple times because disconnects are rampant with myself and everyone I've ever played with in either game. Thousands upon thousands of threads about this very issue on the net and they've never really addressed it.
That and the combat is just not fun at all. The controls are a floaty, laggy mess which makes anything slightly competitive infuriating.
Yeah I remember trying to get into GTA Online with my friends years ago but whenever we would do an activity, it would throw us back out into seperate world instances and then we'd have to load back into each other's games and the whole process just took forever.
Just started playing GTA again after three years away from it because the wife's got in to it, but even doing the heist today was a mess with us staying in the same server.
We play on X1X consoles and I couldn't believe its not been enhanced.
I guess GTA 6 will be out for Christmas....

RDR2O isn't as bad as GTAO. I find it just as fast as other online games. Once you're in the world there's little to no load times when going from free roam into a mission and back into free roam. You'll have a bit of load time when you join one of the competitive modes. But It it isn't even close to being as bad as GTAO.
