Has anyone else been able to actually do anything? I've walked out the car, and been forced into a race situation where it is 'Waiting for other players' and then nothing. Done this three times now, haha.

Rockstar returns to the fictional state of San Andreas with a crew of three criminal protagonists who work together to pull off a series of high-profile heists.
So, GTA: Online seems to be completely broken.
I'll try it when I get home, which is about 2 hours from now. I'll report back on these issues if it's still relevant then.
Also, @baillie, what console are you playing this on? This might be important. I'm playing on a 360 myself.

Expect GTA:O to be broken for at least a week, as is the case with every popular online game.
@asurastrike: @cosmokramer: 360 for me.Also yes, I did expect the game to be broken but literally not being able to do anything, at all... Is kind of a bummer.
I wonder if having John Marston as your daddy is a one time thing... I fiddled around a bit there then hit random and it turned him into a fully random daddy just like my mommy... and after that I couldn't seem to change it back to marston :S Oh well... I made a pretty lady that sleeps 10 hours a day, while I stay awake trying to connect into this online video game!!!!
I got stuck in the first race as well, bunch of people started showing up/leaving, but it sat there for minutes saying "Launching Session..."
@zerosignal: yup and if you relaunch the game, go into SP first then launch MP from there it kinda looks different a bit but ultimately stalls at the same point, waiting to connect to peeps. Would have been smoother if it didn't force you to connect to a match the first thing out of the gate, at least let you wander and select the mission manually or something :S iunno.
@djjoejoe: the John Marston dad seems to only pop up if you hit random or if it starts you off on him.
It seems to me like trying to play the very second it goes online is just asking for frustration. I'll give it a try later in the day.
The worst part for me isnt the online problems, Im sure we were all expecting those. Its the fact that when it does fail it dumps you back out into the single player everytime.
Just got into my first online, competitive match. The first guy on the other side I saw was in a Dumptruck. It's great.
character creator sucks so bad .......
Yeah, idea seemed interesting, in practice it is completely frustrating.
Is anybody surprised by this news, Ithis game sold like crazy and I'm not sure Rockstar knew how popular it's online would be. As they really don't have much Experince with popular online games.
Character design looks like shit, connected for a second and disconnected forever. I think we were all expecting this, with a little itty bitty hope of this being good. Just sucks they put about half the trophies/achievements for this game on the online portion of the game. Also sucks I woke up at 4 am in the morning just to see what this is all about.
Oh good, at least it's broken.
If not then we could've been sure that hell would've frozen over and the world would've ended.
This only means that everything is still as it should be
Welcome to online launches! Surprised that the update even downloaded!
I think what's really jarring is the initial setup because there really isn't much to the create a character feature. I can understand what they were going for with the whole create your family hierarchy to figure out what race you will be but wouldn't it have been easier to just create some sliders and allow a little bit more flexibility with your character instead of the randomness of it? I honestly was hoping for something on par with Saints Row 3rd and 4th, seriously rockstar don't you have 100 of millions of dollars on hand to do this.
Guys driving around robbing stores is great.
And I was just doing a job for Simeon where me and 3 other dudes had to go steal some rich dudes cars and decided to race to his house and it was awesome. Then my game froze up and I had to quit. But it was fun while it lasted.
Got through the drive with Lamar and got to the point where it said "drive to the race trigger" and was unable to trigger the race. Tried it a second time and it has lost my character.
@ferros: Same here.
I tried desperately to make a female character that didn't look like a dude in drag... seems 95% of the time I fail, I think only the black grandparents offer up a female looking female character some of the time and anyone else it's dude lookin' ladies. Crazy, almost reminds me of Oblivion style monstrosities haha.
