Grand Theft Auto Online
Not availableGrand Theft Auto Online suffered widespread technical issues at launch, which prompted many reviewers to bemoan their experience with the game.[65] Chris Carter of Destructoid criticised the "messy launch" and felt that Rockstar should have delayed it.[64] IGN's MacDonald considered her initial play sessions in Grand Theft Auto Online "disastrous",[69] and Liam Martin of Digital Spy reported glitches including loss of his character data. While generally praising the scope of the experience, he considered Grand Theft Auto Online underwhelming as beholden to pre-launch anticipation let down by its technical issues.[68] However, reviewers generally recognised the open-ended exploration and dynamic content as the strength of Grand Theft Auto Online.[65][68][69] Jon Denton of VideoGamer.com was particularly enthusiastic, and wrote that the "endlessness" of the gameplay made up for the technical issues.[67]
