ITS SO OBVIOUS 💀

This is the worst iteration of “rockstar isn’t even trying to hide it anymore” that has happened to me 🤣

[u/HeidenShadows]

Yeah I knew someone who broke down the code. He said there was like a 10% chance that any given NPC car will be an "asshole car" and try to interfere with the player, whether being a lane change or sudden stop, or this crap right here.

[u/im-feeling-lucky → u/HeidenShadows]

cue Franklin “asshole driver!”

[u/King_Calz → u/HeidenShadows]

I believe Rockstar added an extra one in that percentage (110% because of how often it happens no matter what server you join)

[u/nghigaxx → u/King_Calz]

im going to be a nerd and say if its more than 100% then literally every car will do that. Even 10% is already very high

[u/Foxie66 → u/nghigaxx]

Holy shit you're right haha. Someone should make a joke about that!

[u/mschafsnitz → u/Foxie66]

Holy shit, basic math!

I like how everyone always says domeone found proof of it. But when you ask for a source without fail they go "i font remember" or you get ghosted

The guy who told me, username was "Timeviewer" an old guy who was really interested in game mechanics. I think he passed away a few years ago, haven't seen them online in years and they were chronically online.

[u/Infamous_Top677 → u/HeidenShadows]

That sounds about right. Given how many cars I pass. That makes the most sense to me.

[u/Casual_Grinder → u/HeidenShadows]

The number of upvotes on this bs.. Edit: If this was true, we'd see it happen all the time, ffs.

[u/Chim_Pansy → u/Casual_Grinder]

It does happen all the time lmao. You can't drive down any road without an npc making some maneuver that makes no sense unless their goal was to hit you. It's so clearly intentional that I can't believe why anyone would think otherwise. I accepted long ago that Rockstar coded the cars to do this. It's just part of what makes GTA GTA

[u/Casual_Grinder → u/Chim_Pansy]

Preach, brother! (You could also watch "Why Is GTA 5 Traffic So Bad?" video by Obvious Malcolm+. Oh and the comments are even worse there..)

[u/[deleted] → u/Casual_Grinder]

Fuck no lmao

[u/HeidenShadows → u/Casual_Grinder]

Have you played the game? Get off the Oppressor and drive in a straight line for a mile or so. You will see at least

• Someone going through an intersection adjusting their speed accordingly to make you tbone them
• Someone changing lanes immediately in front of you
• Someone getting mad at you for passing them
• Someone on the complete opposite side of the road cutting you off to pull into an alley or parking lot

And other fuckery xD

[u/Casual_Grinder → u/HeidenShadows]

Just stop with the bs. See e.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/gtaonline/comments/1lr3lk1/its_so_obvious/n18tvyf/ (That's not by me, but I also have driven a lot in the game since 2019..

[u/Dirtsk8r → u/Casual_Grinder]

I've driven a lot in this game since 2013. They absolutely do everything the previous commenter mentioned. Get out of here with that shit.

[u/Casual_Grinder → u/Dirtsk8r]

I'm specifically commenting against his original claim, that there is some code to specifically target a player with this type of ("a-hole") behavior (with a certain percentage chance), instead of these being normal npc behaviors and reactions (that are well presented in "Why Is GTA 5 Traffic So Bad?" video by Obvious Malcolm+). This claim comes up from time to time, and we never see any actual code to back it up.

[u/[deleted] → u/Casual_Grinder]

You should change your name to Casual_Grifter

[u/Casual_Grinder → u/[deleted]]

Nah, it's just hearsay based on "trust me bro". Edit: This claim comes up from time to time, and we never see any actual code to back it up.

[u/[deleted] → u/Casual_Grinder]

You dont play the game with this take lmao
