Grand Theft Auto 5

[Drakul]

I find bounties fun for the chase, the hunt and the execution. The money doesn't really matter.

They need to respawn players far apart after a 1 on 2 deathmatch. Did it never occur to them that the first thing the loser will do is open fire on the winner back in freeroam?

[XL]

Yeah I often find myself in a rolling battle that won't end. Had one the other day where I found myself in a clothes store with another player. I left the shop, jumped in my car, so he shot and killed me. I chased him down, miles him. We're even. Then he found me again and killed me. So I set a bounty on him...which I ended up claiming myself. So he set a bounty on me...which he then claimed.

[Kalyx triaD]

Hilarity ensued tonight. Two guys on a train versus a chasing helicopter.

[Purgatory]

Lol. I wanna get in a Jets vs Motorcycles type thing. Dunno what its called tho.

[Kalyx triaD]

Top Fun. Recently discovered to be a trilogy of missions.

[Purgatory]

Ah ok. I was watching a video of it called "Top Fun" on youtube and thought it was just what the uploader was calling it. I just opened Lesters missions online, so that's as far as I've gotten. Too many other distractions from the story missions tho.

If I sell my personal vehicle, I can designate another as my pov just by installing a tracker and insurance or can I just have a second one....provided I have a garage to keep them.

[Drakul]

I think there was, originally, just the 2 Top Fun missions and they added the 3rd recently. It seems very popular and well recieved so I'd not be surprised to see some more show up.

[Kane Knight]

Got really lucky last night. Was doing a mission where you steal two attack choppers from Merrywether. I got run over as we spawned the mission, so we were down one life already. We got to the building in question and everyone else died once, so it was down to me and one other guy. Great, one helicopter each, right?

Well, instead of doing what I expected and spawning bad guys just when one of us got in the helicopter, they spawned more after I had taken off. I'm halfway to Lester's warehouse with two attack copters on my ass when the other guy gets bushwhacked. So I land the helicopter and start heading his way, but I assume the helicopters are going to attack me, so I hide first. He dies. So with no team lives remaining, I drive across the map, sure the attack choppers are going to nail me (they never attack me), climb to the roof, steal the other helicopter, and manage to deliver it.

I so wish I could claim this is because I'm that damn good or something. It was pure luck I didn't get killed on pretty much every leg of that. I'm also really surprised the MW choppers just decide to leave you alone once you've dropped off one of the stolen ones.

[Savio]

I got run over as we spawned the mission, so we were down one life already.
Hate this, R* should not spawn people on a highway, hopefully people realize this and stop starting missions while their on the highway.

[Kane Knight]

Hate this, R* should not spawn people on a highway, hopefully people realize this and stop starting missions while their on the highway.

I wasn't on a highway. I was on the helipad. A driver decided to go down there. I've never seen a driver down there before.

[El Fangel]

Spawned on Chiliad. Fell down mountain. Spawned on Chiliad. Fell down again. Gave up.

[Kane Knight]

Oh, additional note, anyone having teammates kicked? I had this happen three times with two different crews last night.

[RoXer]

Something fun in a freeroam where everyone has very little to no money and can die as many times as they want:

Put a bounty on two dudes. Those dudes hijack and stay on the train. The rest of the lobby hunts them down.

I did this with ECG the other day and it was fun. It was also fun to be the one on the train with the bounty.

I wish we could edit our own missions and set our own parameters. Could have people start on motorcycles, some start on helicopters, some HAVE to attempt to parachute onto train, one flies a cargo plane kamikaze style into train.

While I've mentioned it, that is my favorite thing to do online in random lobbies is to scare people with that cargo plane. I dunno if scare is the right word but I definitely like to fly as close as I can to them and hopefully startle them. A cargo plane has to be the last thing you're expecting if you're somewhere downtown. I've landed it on the freeway once and someone drove up on it, got out, and was upset the back didn't open to store his car (I'm kind of annoyed by that too) and started kicking the back. I joined him. Then we flew off together and were best GTA buddies for at least 40 mins.



Hilarity ensued tonight. Two guys on a train versus a chasing helicopter.

SEE?!?!? It's hella fun. Can only imagine what a full lobby would be like.

Oh, additional note, anyone having teammates kicked? I had this happen three times with two different crews last night.

Not kicked but timed out, yeah. Happened like 3 times last night.

[El Fangel]

My wife is working tonight, so I don't feel guilty for playing 6+ hours. I'll be on later gentlemen.

[Heisenberg]

I might hop on as well, going to probably start a closed crew session and if any log on they can hop in, if it won't probably a friend session, so send me a friend request, Dethklokface, that'd be the tag

[XL]

I should be on around 10.30pm (GMT).

[Extreme Angle]

Had a very brief encounter with Drakul... He stole my car... The bastard...

[El Fangel]

In english please.

[El Fangel]

miotch55

How about we play together, I feel the tension between us can be lessened over some whisky and debauchery if only in an online setting.

Had a very brief encounter with Drakul... He stole my car... The bastard...

I laughed out loud at this, you are surprised he stole you car playing GTA.

[Heisenberg]

I still get a thrill from helicopter riding with others and robbing gas stations/stores while collecting RPs

[El Fangel]

If you are on, I will be on in like 15-20 max.

[Heisenberg]

STILL @ work for the time being, might be a lil later man

[Drakul]

Had a very brief encounter with Drakul... He stole my car... The bastard...

You shot me in the face.

[Drakul]

True, the make-up cushioned the impact but that's beside the point.

[Miotch]

lol there's tension between us fagel?

[El Fangel]

You seem not to like me despite me finding you an ok chap.

Also fuck roxer.

[Kane Knight]

You shot me in the face.

I thought you enjoyed facials.

[Drakul]

Only if I'm bought dinner first.

[El Fangel]

Roxer is a swell guy.

[Razzamajazz]

i think i'll go roll around in all that money i got, scrooge mcduck style

[XL]

Fucking controller keeps disconnecting despite having a full battery. Wouldn't be a problem in any other game where it auto-pauses. Real shitter in GTA if you're in a race/fire fight/driving.

[Savio]

PS3 Autopauses......you can't Auto pause online though.

[XL]

I'm playing/talking about online.

[El Fangel]

Anyone on?

[Kalyx triaD]

In motorcycle races you either get the default Akuma or buy a Bati and trick it out. Any other bike is clowning yourself. Play to win.

[El Fangel]

Needs the dough, yo

[Kane Knight]

PS3 Autopauses......you can't Auto pause online though.

360 autopauses too. But since we're talking online, neither do.

In motorcycle races you either get the default Akuma or buy a Bati and trick it out. Any other bike is clowning yourself. Play to win.

The Double T seems to be on par with the Baati RR. I don't know about fully upgraded, but with equal mods earlier on it seems to be comparable. The major difference is that the Double T corners better and the Baati will do better in straightaways, far as I can tell.

[Drakul]

That's one of the big drawbacks of playing online. Not just GTA but anything. You always need to "pause" at the worst possible time. Flying a plane, avoiding someone trying for the bounty on your head, racing, deathmatch etc.

What are you supposed to do when someone phones you and you can't pause the game?

Why not have a thing called "ghost mode" where the player flashes like a respawning player while they are in the pause menu? So we just pass right through them.

I guess it would be open to "abuse" in the sense that someone could just keep it on pause until their attacker got bored and left. Maybe charge players $5 per second in "ghost mode" so they are less inclined to abuse it. Or a timer. "If you do not unpause in 3 minutes, you will be removed from the session".

[Kalyx triaD]

Because it would be abused indeed. Screw that.

Just get your ass in a neutral zone like your garage/apartment, or leave the game entirely by starting a mission/job screen. If the phone calls that important a videogame shouldn't be.

[Drakul]

I think it's time we had a TPWW Crew get togethor. A big one. Robbing armoured trucks/shops in freeroam, racing, missions, parachute jumps etc.

This weekend would be good. Exact time is up to the rest of you.

[El Fangel]

There were seven of us playing together last night.

I am free Saturday though.

[Drakul]

I missed it :(.

[Blitz]

Finished the story today.

Great characters, lackluster story. The problem of featuring three main characters means having to put in stories for all of them. The final mission, where you have to kill Wei Cheng, Haines, Stretch, and Devin was super anticlimactic, because I barely got to know any of those characters. Didn't feel like anything except the Michael-Trevor relationship was well developed. Frank definitely got short shrift.

Still a great game though.

Will be online more now. Promise.

[Razzamajazz]

finally just got my first safehouse, complete with bong and shag carpet

[Purgatory]

Nice. I gotta rebuild my cash after buying that garage and setting a couple of bounties today.

Going into the Quick Jobs list for the races kicks ass. I like that theres usually more than 12 people racing....though I wonder. Some of the names, and the fact that I'm usually the only one with a mic, makes me think that they're actually just AI players, not real people.

Dunno

[Razzamajazz]

it's the NSA messing with you :shifty:

[El Fangel]

Im om for a bit.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

somebody stole an armored car before i got there so i sticky bombed it and then shot the drivers :)

[Kalyx triaD]

Ya know... I never thought of jacking the things.

[El Fangel]

Just made wave 10 with three randoms. First try.

[Kalyx triaD]

Three randoms can do it if they're on point. Every once and a while you meet decent players.

[El Fangel]

Razz and myself just did a flawless boneyard :D

[Razzamajazz]

and my connection crapped out afterward

[Razzamajazz]

must've been a sign i was on too long.

or too late

obama is spying on me

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I beat Boneyard but the others I have trouble with. Can't really find the perfect hiding locations in them.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, that's key.

Best places are where enemies can't spawn behind you. For Boneyard, I take cover behind the downed stunt planes.

[Savio]

I take cover behind the building connected to the brick wall

[Kane Knight]

Ya know... I never thought of jacking the things.

Not quite the same, but I tried picking one up with a Cargobob. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have much lifting power--I couldn't get very far off the ground and with police copters chasing me....

We never did get the truck cracked.

[Savio]

had a 3000$ bounty on me and a guyy with an attack heli was chasing me, I parked in the tunnel at the north east end, he got out and I was able to snipe him. drove towards his heli to steal it but he respawned and blew up his heli along with my personal vehicle.

Soooo close to just going on a rampage with his heli.

[El Fangel]

We need to do some survival together guys. I can make level 7 fairly easily myself and that's a 10k payout all the while getting free ammo and shooting stats.

[Drakul]

This is probably something everyone does anyway but, in survival, don't kill the last guy in each wave until you go restock on armour/guns/health/ammo. Saves running around at the start of the next wave.

[El Fangel]

^ Yep.

[RoXer]

Survival mode isn't for me in this. I want to play Grand Theft Auto and not Grand Theft Hide Behind A Dumpster For 20 Minutes While Occasionally Popping Out Of Cover To Shoot A Guy

[XL]

I quite like Survival. Not as much fun doing it on your own though.

[Savio]

Hey I like GTHBADF20MWOPOOCTSAG

[Drakul]

Survival mode isn't for me in this. I want to play Grand Theft Auto and not Grand Theft Hide Behind A Dumpster For 20 Minutes While Occasionally Popping Out Of Cover To Shoot A Guy

I prefer the more dangerous style I tend to go with. It actually works if you're focused.

[El Fangel]

Best way to make the benjis.

[Drakul]

Right behind bounties, robberies, armour truck hijacking, racing, parachuting and car retrieval for Simeon.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

I'm bored of Survival mode as well. Especially since the cover system tends to be what fucks you over, or guys randomly spawning beside you (that always looks bad). The shooting/combat system is easily the worst part of this game, I just don't even remotely have an interest in playing Last Man Standing or Deathmatch because of it. It's bad in the normal game but just complete turd online due to the lack of responsiveness and glitchiness of cover.

Races, Top Fun, Parachuting and Corrupt Cop are great (if you can get enough team members). Fucking about in Free Mode is great. Sticky bombs are brilliant.

I know I'm probably not going to look at this game again if the new Call of Duty is any good and if the dedicated servers sort out the connection nonsense.

[Kalyx triaD]

Survival doesn't reward the time invested.

[El Fangel]

Survival doesn't reward the time invested.

My shooting stat says otherwise.

Dedicated servers? You're serious? I decided back in March not to play CoD again, though that is tempting if it works as expected.

[Kalyx triaD]

My shooting stat says otherwise.

Mine got full from deathmatch. Play that.

[Kalyx triaD]

And yes CoD Ghosts had dedicated servers. Kind of big news a few months ago.

Not anymore.

[Emperor Smeat]

Rockstar states the promised Stimulus Packages have been delayed and won't be arriving until after they fix the problems regarding lost stats and progress in GTA Online.

“We hope to have an update for you on that very soon,” reads a comment from Rockstar. “As others have mentioned here, we of course want to make sure player progress loss issues are addressed before providing everyone with their GTA$500K. Thanks for your patience and please stay tuned.”

The first deposit of 250,000 GTA$ was scheduled to hit players accounts last week, but this was then pushed back to early this week, and now the developer is saying “soon.” The second deposit is set to land by the end of the month, but that’s looking unlikely at this point.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/rockstar-gta-online-stimulus-package-wont-be-released-until-progress-loss-issues-are-addressed/

[El Fangel]

Thanks Obama.

[ClockShot]

Got all my spaceship parts today and got the Space Docker buggy. Was really hoping that thing would shoot lasers, or fly, or jump to lightspeed by the way it was built. Instead it's got an engine in it from The Jetsons and it's collecting dust in my garage. Getting the Apache back in 3 was worth the trouble. This was a bit of a let down.

[Kane Knight]

Rockstar says there will be an announcement on heists next week. I'm betting that announcement is "haw haw!"

[Drakul]

Gunned down 3 or 4 times by Dorkchop for no reason.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Killed a guy driving with JamesDiesel accidentally thought there was a bounty on him but it it was the friend red circle instead. Really should be a different color.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>After getting caught up in non-storyline stuff and other games for a few weeks, finally completed the last heist and am close to wrapping up the game.

Chose the "Subtle" approach and had to skip the gun fight part after like 10 tries. I took Packie, who I had maxed out, as one gunman but cheaped out on the other and he always died immediately and I got overrun. At one point I only had like 3 enemies left but switching to Franklin caused Trevor's "warning" on the character switch thing to go off and vice versa, and I eventually died via headshot. Definitely want to replay the heist with a different crew and try the other approaches.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Aaaaaand finished. Regarding the ending:</font>

Cannot fathom why anybody wouldn't choose C. Why willingly limit the people you can play as going forward? While Franklin and Michael conspiring to kill Trevor makes some sense, Franklin turning on Michael really just turns his character into an asshole.

[Disturbed316]

Managed to put in a good number of hours in online yesterday, just did races and managed to get up to around $85k and about level 16, still miles off catching other people up though.

[Drakul]

Tried joining James Diesel in freeroam but couldn't because he's no a "bad sport". Even though he's in the TPWW crew and on my friendlist.

[Kalyx triaD]

You're a bad sport?

[Purgatory]

Tried joining James Diesel in freeroam but couldn't because he's no a "bad sport". Even though he's in the TPWW crew and on my friendlist.

Yeah that "bad sport" thing is gay. They shouldn't make it so you cant play with people, but maybe limit activities or something. They should also have a way to get back to being a good sport, unless there's already something worked in

[Kane Knight]

You become a good sport again either with time or by completing missions, or so the game says.

The system, as-is, is still fucking stupid, though.

[Drakul]

Mistype. JD is a bad sport. I'm squeeky clean.

[Drakul]

You become a good sport again either with time or by completing missions, or so the game says.

Yeah. I was getting griefed endlessly last night. Killed, spawn by the killer, repeat. There is no rules in the game saying he can't do that to me. If I had blown up his car just once, I'd have gotten a warning.

Still can't figure out why we can destroy those cars if it's a bad thing.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

The bad sport system is pathetic. I had some arsehole messing up a retrieval mission by drawing the cops in all the time and deliberately making it difficult to complete, yet me blowing up his car with him in it when we re-spawn (after I complete the mission he tried his best to mess up) makes me the bad sport. He put a bounty on me for killing him and his shite car, surely that is the game's form of justice? Why is blowing up a car such a big deal? Not finishing missions I can understand, except when the game inexplicably tells you off for it despite not having skipped out on anything or tells you off for being disconnected by the buggy game.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah. I was getting griefed endlessly last night. Killed, spawn by the killer, repeat. There is no rules in the game saying he can't do that to me. If I had blown up his car just once, I'd have gotten a warning.

Indeed. Let people be psychopaths or don't. Don't say "kill other players, but don't you dare touch their vehicles!"

The closest thing to an argument I can see here is that vehicles cost more than hospital bills, but still. If you're not insuring your vehicles, what the hell are you doing?

[Purgatory]

Exactly. If you don't wanna be launched into a likely session with crazed killers, stick to invite-only or solo. Personally, I love the mayhem of an "all-out" session.

The bounty thing annoys me sometimes when you leave a session and come back with the bounty still in effect because you forget you had one or thought you stayed alive long enough that maybe it was lifted. My own fault I know.

[Razzamajazz]

i enjoy putting bounties on assholes that try to kill me for going after other bounties

[Purgatory]

lol, vicious cycle.

[Kane Knight]

lol, vicious cycle.

But awesome.

[Purgatory]

That it is. :D

[Purgatory]

Man races were boring yesterday, not near the awesome that they have been. I've been using the Quick Jobs list lately. I got kicked out of like 6 races yesterday, though I did notice I outranked everyone. I figured that was why.

I may be on later. Anyone that happens to be on, my gamertag is JarydStyxx.

[XL]

Without that rule you can just drop out the session and into another one to lose the bounty, which kinda makes the whole concept of a bounty pointless.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Does the timer reset on the bounty if you do a mission? Or does it carry over?

[Drakul]

Saw a pedestrian commit suicide in freeroam by jumping off the top of the Maze building.

[Kane Knight]

Does the timer reset on the bounty if you do a mission? Or does it carry over?

The timer doesn't reset, but seems to only count the time you're in free mode. Switching to a mission seems to not count. And really, that makes sense.

[Purgatory]

I chased a bounty down but he hid in a garage. So I dropped a shit load of sticky bombs around the entrance and waited around a corner. someone else showed to collect the bounty, so he fell victim to my trap. I could hear the guy yell and swear about it, but it was funny. I don't know if it was his POV that got blown up as well, tho.

Good times

Also made enough to purchase an apartment, but no view out of the windows:(

[DAMN iNATOR]

I don't know how often I will be on, but now that there's this new place less than a block from where I live offering online gaming for $5/session, I decided to pick up a XBL Gold 3 month card and got it activated there today after jumping through about 15,000 fucking hoops...

Anyway, they're closed Mondays, but I plan on heading over there and giving Online a try first thing Tues. @ 10:00a Eastern. I joined the TPWW Crew as well :cool:.


XBL ID: aDg2k7
TPWW Crew ID: aDg013


So add me on XBL, people (I don't have PS3 or PSN, sorry) and I look forward to kicking some ass with some of ya Tuesday!

[RoXer]

Thinking of demoting Kalyx to make way for DAMN iNATOR's obvious promotion

[Kalyx triaD]

I understand.

[El Fangel]

Made my crew vehicle.

[XL]

Think I'm too nice for this online world.

Want to live in a world where you can have a fair race without someone purposefully forcing you off the road. A world where you can walk down the street without someone tying to kill you, forcing you to kill them, only for them to spend the next half hour trying to get revenge.

Can't we all just get along?

[Drakul]

I share your dream, XL.

[Drakul]

Though I'm not helping by tricking a guy with a bounty into flying my helicopter, only for me to jump out in midair and trigger the sticky bomb I planted as I parachute to safety.

[Savio]

Nice angle, I would suspect he would try to jack my heli though.

[Drakul]

I had the sticky bomb planted in a way that it wasn't visable. Even if he took off without me, I could have still got him.

It does suck that sticky bombs vanish if you die. So I could plant one on another players car and get shot and it disappears. I wish it didn't.

Speaking of sticky bombs, they now limit each player to have 5 active at any one time.

I've also been hassled by guys in their cars and got revenge by tossing a sticky onto the middle of a cross road and standing a few feet back, in the middle of the road. They can't help but charge straight for me. When they do, I detonate the sticky, killing them and sending them flying over my head.

Also used them on a car I parked "convincingly" infront of the garage Simeon asks you to drop of the high priority cars at. They see the car in it, get in it to move it out the way and I detonate it. Free car!

Was getting trouble from some guy in a hunter helicoptor today. I got into a stunt plane and flew off but he followed me. For the hell of it I jumped out and started parachuting only for him to come up behind me. I aimed over my shoulder with micro SMG and managed to nail him a few times through the window of his copter, taking him out.
Would have been better if the James Bond theme had kicked in afterwards, it was pretty Bond-esque., with the parachuting, taking down a helicopter with a gun all while in a suit.

Edit: STILL can't see emblems. Even my own. It's still a black/yellow checkered pattern. Sometimes even that wont appear.

[Kalyx triaD]

It was always 5 stickies at max. I tested it the second I got them early on.

Emblems take a few days to load on R*'s site and then show in game.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Was about to do a 24 man team death match but it wouldn't load. Shit.

Wtf, did you use Captcha to generate your gamertag?

[RoXer]

Dude, do you not recognize DAMN iNATOR's real name when you see it?

[alvarado52]

Guess. Not. Finally had enough monies to buy a sweet 10-car garage apartment, which makes the game much better just on the fact that I can invest in decent cars without fear of losing or being limited to just one.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm sure I was able to use more at one point.

Even your Apt 25 and the TPWW logos still don't appear and they're both a few weeks old.

Strange. Do you ever see guys' logos in game?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I see the TPWW logo on my shirt when not wearing armor.

[Drakul]

Strange. Do you ever see guys' logos in game?

I see no emblems at all. When you and I raced in that Down the Drain race a week or two ago and you had an emblem on the back of your jacket, all I saw was that black/yellow checkered pattern I mentioned.

When I try to put an emblem on myself, 99% of the time, nothing appears at all. the other 1% is that checkered pattern.

[Kalyx triaD]

Wow. You're with the social club and all that? It may have something to do with your region.

[Drakul]

Yeah, I'm with the social club and have been for a few years. I don't think it's to do with my region. I was thinking it might be because I'm playing on a "fat" 360.
I had read that older 360s were crashing with the game and mine has too. Maybe it's the same deal with emblems.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm also dealing with an older model 360 and emblems show just fine, I'm thinking it's something else.

[Drakul]

I keep meaning to email them about it but I never get round to it. I keep thinking it'll be fixed eventually.

[Razzamajazz]

standard definition tv? i thought there was a discussion about it way earlier in this thread

[Drakul]

There was but we're not talking about that.

Cant be it. Mines a 2008 model and I see everything fine, emblems show where they're supposed to and everything. It hasnt even crashed, aside from the server timing out once in a great while.

Rockstar announces the Content Creator, one DLC pack, and special weekly events will be arriving soon for GTA Online.

First off is the promised Content Creator. This handy-dandy feature is finally coming our way, and will enable the ability to create custom races, missions, deathmatch setups etc. The more prominent (but still balanced) creations will be featured on Rockstar's spotlight service called 'Rockstar Newswire' to bask in the glory in front of the others.

The second bit of news is that the first batch of DLC for Grand Theft Auto V has also been announced called the 'Beach Bum Pack'. The Beach Bum Pack will include new weapons, vehicles, cosmetics, and Jobs that theme around the coastal areas of Los Santos.

And if that wasn't enough, there will also be weekly special events hosted by Rockstar such as unique 'first come, first serve' in-game crate drops, Capture-the-Flag, and the long-awaited online heists. You'll also want to put up a good show, because your performance may be randomly selected to be broadcasted live via their new livestream broadcasts on Twitch.

Also the promised Stimulus Packages is expected to arrive within the next two weeks and shortly after the next title update is released.

[Kane Knight]

Think I'm too nice for this online world.

Want to live in a world where you can have a fair race without someone purposefully forcing you off the road. A world where you can walk down the street without someone tying to kill you, forcing you to kill them, only for them to spend the next half hour trying to get revenge.

Can't we all just get along?

I share your dream, XL.

Friends only lobbies, invite only lobbies, or solo sessions.

Yup, same here.

[XL]

I think it could be fun if everyone ganged up and turned on the AI. Just start gunning down pedestrians, then go to war with the police/army.

[Drakul]

If we every get enough crew members on board, I'd be up for that.

Bought my first apartment. Small but cosy. My style.

[Savio]

When GTAO first started it was a lot easier to get near someone without getting shot.

[Drakul]

I've tried approaching people unarmed. That doesn't stop them.

[Savio]

That might actually encourage it....Some times I just want to do an impromptu race.

[Kane Knight]

iFruit app is up for Android. Good luck finding a good plate.

I think it could be fun if everyone ganged up and turned on the AI. Just start gunning down pedestrians, then go to war with the police/army.

:y:

When GTAO first started it was a lot easier to get near someone without getting shot.

Mostly because they were lagged out due to shitty QA

[Kane Knight]

So, none of my friends can use the iFruit app because it's apparently not compatible with a huge list of devices. Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for my LSC order to show up in-game.

Oh, Rockstar, if you do something right the first time around in this game, I will probably shit myself.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Shooting randomers in Free Mode is probably the best bit of the game.

[Razzamajazz]

some random guy sent me a message the other day trying to get a group to invade the military base and take it over

[Drakul]

We should all get online togethor and try that.

[Kalyx triaD]

I could finally use my limo.

...I purchased a limo.

[Drakul]

That would give a mixed message if a gang pulled up in a limo. Stylish but confusing.

It shows the differnce in our GTA bank accounts. You bought a limo, I bought a bicycle. Every other car I have is either stolen or free.

[Kalyx triaD]

Why would that be confusing or send a mixed message?

[Kane Knight]

TPWW Clown Car.

[Drakul]

Why would that be confusing or send a mixed message?

Image conflict.

We're not exactly the sharply dressed, high society gangsters that would use a limo. Now, a stolen public bus, that's more TPWWs style.

[XL]

some random guy sent me a message the other day trying to get a group to invade the military base and take it over

Ha. I had the same idea earlier. That or the prison.

[RoXer]

With all of the attention to detail Rockstar creates in this game, they missed wildly on streets, intersections, and flow of traffic. There seems like a lot of European influence in some of these crossings. They've put intersections I've never seen exist in real life into a video game ghetto based and inspired by Compton where some of that shit can't possibly exist. The arrows on the ground are often the wrong kind, I've seen a lot of cases of white lines when it should be yellow lines. Lots of things that are off.

It's a nitpick, sure, but you look at some of the buildings or signage or architecture they've modeled in the game based on actual things in the real world and they do a phenomenal job of it. And then they just don't give a shit about the streets themselves, seems weird.

Next time you hop online, try driving under the rules. The AI will eventually get into an accident because the intersections and streets are in such an odd layout.

[RoXer]

I didn't get Battlefield so I'll still be playing this for a bit.

[Kalyx triaD]

Guy who goes all Poison in GTA Online lectures me of image.

[Savio]

just killed someone after he robbed a store.....only got 50 bucks. BS

[Drakul]

Guy who goes all Poison in GTA Online lectures me of image.

Guy who goes all Poison? That wasn't a lecture, either. Add about 3 paragraphs, then you've got me lecturing you.

just killed someone after he robbed a store.....only got 50 bucks. BS

I did that too. I got, presumabley, most of his loot. Something like $1200. Maybe the loot falls out in one bundle and the players own money falls out in another and you only picked up that.
I did kill the guy the second he went through the store doors so maybe it's a time thing.

[Kalyx triaD]

You're a dude who chose to be a chick in game, then you tell what's wrong with riding in a limo without a dress suit.

[Drakul]

I never said I was talking about you. I was referring to the crew as a whole. RoXer will look fantastic climbing out of a limo in nothing but his underwear and a cowboy hat, I'm sure.

[Drakul]

Btw, I've been getting the impression you're not as cool with me as you were before GTA Online. Dunno if that's an actual thing or just my mistake.

I'm not saying you suddenly hate me but something seems off, lately.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I think Drakul is saying somebody who can afford a limo shouldn't be in a street gang. Real world logic fail.

[Drakul]

All this from a joke post.

[Kalyx triaD]

Btw, I've been getting the impression you're not as cool with me as you were before GTA Online. Dunno if that's an actual thing or just my mistake.

You've gotten weird lately; strange complaints, hasty conclusions, and such. I like you too much to let it slide.

[XL]

Well I have my guy wearing a suit jacket/jean/dress shoes combo now (rather than running shorts and crash helmet) so he'll look great jumping out of a limo.

[Purgatory]

Mines wearing black pants and a leather jacket with armor underneath, sporting some odd facepaint that seemed better than it actually is.

[RoXer]

Kalyx, chill out.

STD, chill out.

GTA Online brings out the darkness in Kalyx.

[Miotch]

there's a joke in there somewhere

[El Fangel]

Man, Heisenberg is not someone who you should have in your vehicle running from the police. Keeps tossing stickybombs.

[alvarado52]

i will FUCK you Miotch!

[Kalyx triaD]

Shut up, RoXer. The streets are mine.

[Heisenberg]

Man, Heisenberg is not someone who you should have in your vehicle running from the police. Keeps tossing stickybombs.

I make it interesting, how many cars did I blow up last night? Not enough

[El Fangel]

For claritys sake, we blew up at least ten on the intersection near the strip. A further dozen or so police vehicles and whatever else caught the explosions.

WHEN WILL IT BE ENOUGH!!!!

[Purgatory]

THERES NEVER ENOUGH MAYHEM!!!

[Purgatory]

I also find myself watching the Weazel News before even venturing out of my apartment at the beginning of each session. I like to see w hats going on out there as I can't see out any of the windows.

[XL]

Heisenberg is a must have when we attack the city!

[Heisenberg]

I laughed so hard when Fangel got pissed at me for destroying his car, I calmly explained that I had paid for the insurance/replacement for it and it would be there for his convenience next session/garage visit.


They are expensive jokes mind you, 600 dollas(holla!) per sticky and I threw 14 of them in that session alone.

[whiteyford]

I still plan on hunting down Heisenberg and coating the streets of Los Santos in his blood. Pesky time differences.

[Heisenberg]

To be honest you made quite a bit of money off me destroying all those cars, like an easy 7k after it was all said and done

[Savio]

I have noticed this too.

[El Fangel]

Yes, three deaths and two auto claims later. Oh and I forked over $3000.

All said and done, I think I'm actually out money.

[Razzamajazz]

holy fuck how do you mute someone in a race?

[Fignuts]

LOL Fangel

Your own fault really. Anyone joining a game with heisenberg and doesnt expect just flat out anarchy and chaos has only themselves to blame.

Ive never even played with the dude and i know that.

[Kalyx triaD]

jesus no

[Drakul]

Woah! a Ghost?!

Is that a 2D image or an actual 3D model?

I wonder if there are any other "super natural" things in the game. If there is anything in the water, I'm betting it'll be the Loch Ness Monster, probably in the Alamo Sea.

[Kalyx triaD]

That reminds me, it's time I see if a shark is really in the waters.

[Drakul]

I have done a little looking for that myself and I can tell you if there is or isn't one. Or you can try looking for yourself.

There are multiple sharks in single player but no idea if there are any online. I was out in the Pacific Ocean as Trevor on a jetski and they started circling me.

You mean other than OoFoes, right?

The gost ties to one of the mysteries in the game, BTW. Pretty cool. And I think it's 3-D, but the closer you get the less tangible it is.

Is the presence of sharks really spoiler-worthy?

[Drakul]

If someone wants to hunt them down and find out for themselves, yes. I wouldn't want to say "Yeah the game has sharks." or "No, sharks aren't in." and ruin their search.

[Kane Knight]

We just had a dude post a very specific thing that you see only at one specific time in one specific place. But God forbid someone mention sharks, which you don't even have to go out of your way to find.


...I mean, seriously. It'd be one thing if it was Bigfoot or a good Saints Row title hidden in the game, but...there's even an achievement that tips you.

:D I remember talking about this! Did you get his gamertag?

[Savio]

I was playing against this guy and could not lock on to him....Was he hacking?

[Purgatory]

Coulda been the game just being dickish. It glitched something fierce on me at one point last night. I tried to run someone down, it glitches and then I'm sailing over a building in my car. One of those times I wish there was a Theater Mode where you can watch replays.

Not sure. I could only see it through my phone at a certain time. Put the phone away and she vanishes....also vanishes if you get too close. I have yet to see if she appears Online too.

[Purgatory]

I was Trevor when I took the pic. I'm gonna try with Michael, as his camera seems to be the best. His pictures don't have those scanlines in them.

[Savio]

do a selfie with it

[Purgatory]

I shoulda tried that in the beginning but I didn't think about it. Will do it tomorrow at some point. if it works on Online, maybe I'll get a few other people in it too.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Might be a Halloween Easter Egg. They might not be floating around tomorrow.

[Savio]

Maybe its that girl from the pages you collect.

[Kane Knight]

Might be a Halloween Easter Egg. They might not be floating around tomorrow.

No, it's related to the murder.

[Purgatory]

Yeah, I took the pic about 3 weeks ago

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Does the ghost appear near where the pieces of the story are?

[Purgatory]

Nah, its on Mt Jocoby. Its the big one near the lighthouse. Right around midnight, she appears over a certain rock. Ill post a screenshot of the location on the map when I'm on later today.

Given the location, I don't know if its part of the story....it suggests she might have been a suicide. On the other hand, it looks like she was shot in the face. I'm wondering if one of the side quests might clue in something but I don't know. I only found out about her because my son saw a video. Arter I saw her, I refuse to look up anything else about it. I want to see if anything comes up through the course of the game somewhere.

[Purgatory]

The arrow is the location of where the ghost spawns at 11pm in-game.

This is the site where she appears. Usually on the rocks to the left of the trees

Take a look at the rocks near where she was standing.

After she's appeared.

[Purgatory]

Yeah, there's blood. I noticed it while waiting around for her to appear, but wasn't sure if that was the exact spot. Thanks man.

I can confirm that she does appear Online as well. I couldn't get a selfie with her, as she doesn't appear unless you zoom in with the camera.

[Purgatory]

Maybe its that girl from the pages you collect.

This is also possible. I haven't collected any yet, but might look for them to find out what happened.

The BeeJay XL is the best I've used so far. It resembles a Toyota Rav4

[El Fangel]

Patriot. As an offroader, there isn't another choice for me

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, there's blood.

More specifically. This I'm going to spoiler. Image included, so don't look if you want to discover it yourself or whatevs.

http://prod.cloud.rockstargames.com/ugc/gta5photo/1190/Mc_CRWY9FE-mRzlsMUELpA/0_0.jpg

This is a hint about another death, but you can find information on the Norah Johnson page if you look.


I'ma add I think the blood is single player only. It didn't show up online.

[Purgatory]

There was blood online there, but I didn't see it close up to see if anything was spelled out. Thanks for pointing that one out man.

I started collecting the letters as Franklin tonight, as Trevor and Michael are exiled from Los Santos. Yeah, not near completing it yet, I don't think.

[Purgatory]

I don't even think I've seen that online. I've only seen it once, but I usually only concern myself with the Off-Roaders when I enter a race with them. I've been doing ALOT of racing this past week to build money

[Kane Knight]

I didn't see blood online. May have just been my session.

[Mercenary]

So I'm stuck in the bad sport lobby. Man RockStar has gone all out to take the fun out of online huh? such bullshit

Another thing, I managed to parachute from the extreme south of the ocean at the very very bottom of the map, all the way to the most northern point, between 1/4 and 1/2 of the way down the west coast and back up and back down again as part of the "parachute for 3 minutes and land safely" challenge. I landed perfectly and got nothing. Over approx 25 mins of parachuting for nothing!

By that logic, most of the people in this thread should be in the bad sports pool.

Still, it makes me curious since bad sport is so easy to avoid.

[Purgatory]

I got a warning yesterday, but I did deserve it. Some other player and I were got into this heated kill session with one another. He sniped me while I was driving, didn't even have beef with him at this point. So I chased him down and killed him while he was on his personal ATV ( I didn't know you could have an ATV as a POV). I put a sticky bomb on it and drove a bit down to see if he got back on. He and another player were near it so I detonated it, taking them both out and got the warning. :)

This set everything off and we spent about an hour just killing one another. On the plus side, I managed to survive a $7,000 bounty and used the money to call in Merryweather for backup.

[Drakul]

Did you guys know the sub is in online mode?

[Kalyx triaD]

Nice. Doesn't have weapons, right?

oh nice. Prolly doesn't have weapons tho.

I find myself playing more online than the Story mode now. At this rate, I might actually finish the game next summer. :-/

No weapons and nothing to see underwater, yet. The fish are swimming backwards :|

[Purgatory]

yeah, I haven't even ventured underwater Online yet.

I saw one docked at the harbour next to the helipad. I always thought the subs were a bit shit though.

[Kane Knight]

Anyone else hit what I'm going to call a "jackpot lobby?"

A couple of times now, I've been in lobbies where armoured trucks just keep spawning. I made over 200 grand yesterday, even though three of us were taking turns actually grabbing the cash (sharing cash doesn't seem to work right now). We got almost no missions, and I'm not sure if it was a glitch or just favour of the RNG gods.

[Drakul]

I've had that a few times. It was a solo online lobby so I got it all to myself. Truck after truck with crate drops inbetween.

Other lobbies have nothing going on. I think it's a luck thing. Sometimes you get nothing, sometimes you get something and other times you get jackpot lobby.

I robbed a truck just now, the guard came out, looked at me as I stood there looking back at him and he just got back in the truck and left. No firefight, no wanted stars, nothing. Free money.

[Crimson]

Wow im gonna be jumping from lobby to lobby

[Drakul]

I don't think I like the way the planes etc spawn online. If I'm rank 25, I get the chinook type helicopter that I can use to pick up cars. When I hit 30, I lose them and get the buzzard instead.

Maybe they should have the buzzard appear in one place when you reach the required rank but the chinook still around somewhere else.

[Requiem]

Huh? The Cargo Bob still spawns down on the southern dock. I'm over level 35 I think, and it's still always there for me.

[Drakul]

It spawned there for me for a while but it's gone now. Buzzard everytime. I'm level 46, I think.
