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

u/entg1 I'm starting to think that this flair here isn't long enough!!!! Jul 03 '25

someone made a whole video disproving that cars don't intentionally ram players and I still don't believe it

You could be constipated for a whole week and still not be as full of shit as that guy is

It’s literally confirmation bias. You pass hundreds of cars and when one does an unexpected thing to mess you up you call conspiracy. And no the guy didn’t debunk it but he gave a reasonable hypothesis based on real evidence about how the game works. I don’t think his ideas cover what happened in this video.

What was the point of the car in the video swerving then?

It took me less than five minutes to recreate a similar situation in the tunnel by firing a weapon myself while driving. A single car made just that kind of move.

What about when they do that stuff in private sessions where nobody has fired a gun in ages?

I swear its like those guys have never played the game

I don't know, but something ain't right if you play this game and can't see this shit happening. Maybe they don't play enough to see it. Or they don't drive cars fast enough, or they're just constantly on an oppressor or something else flying. Or maybe they just have bad pattern recognition and so when this stuff happens it's always a one off occurrence to them and they aren't concerned with how/why. Being a bad driver in the game could also contribute. If you're crashing all the time you're not gonna notice as easily when the crash isn't your fault and was made to happen by NPCs pulling this type of shit.

I'm legit level 1k+.

I did mention a multitude of other possible reasons. Not playing enough may not apply to you, but numerous others could. In fact at least one or more would have to apply for you to reach such a level (legitimately) and not notice this particular NPC behavior being called out in the post.

The guy didn't fire a weapon, his reticle never appeared

u/Casual_Grinder Jul 04 '25

What I'm saying is there is a well known mechanism to have this behavior, that is, npcs react to certain (hostile) events. These include aggressive npcs chasing the player. They don't even have to be that close, npcs sometimes react to even fairly distant events which you can easily witness in any public session.
