Its weird, I can go long stretches with no crashes, and other times I crash real fast. No red rings or anything anymore at least, but still freezing. He is supposed to take another look at it, since its under his 90 day warranty.
Probably just end up buying a new xbox when the next gen drops, and the price comes down like crazy
People are getting really good at mission farming
I been seeing my brother play online and it looks like a grind. Doesn’t look like you can get through most of the missions on your own either. I’ll stick with the single player for GTAV
GTAV’s satire on how fucked up America is is hilarious.
Michael: “What ever happened to good old fashioned American film making?”
I don’t even have the game, but I think a lot of this satire is going over the majority of people’s heads who play GTAV.
Yo ggs last night yall. Sorry I didn’t give u guys a heads up when I left. I fell asleep while I was playing lol. I wanna hop back on tonight but I’m working a double tonight ):
i listen to every bit and commercial by weasel radio…
Its only a grind if you obsess over equipment and money. There’s a lot of fun to be had without trying to get a big internet dick and the highest rank.
Channel is pretty funny.
Also this:
Holy shit, somehow, someway I managed to create an attractive female. I’m stickin with this bitch. I’m a perpetual starter over in online games (a habit I can’t seem to break) but I’m keepin Ms. Crystal.
I hope I can give this bitch hoop earrings.
Hey is it just me or does the surround sound mix of this game suck ass?
So FINALLY got online and almost wished i hadnt
The same annoying stupidity of RDRs online free roam is back except in RDR it made sense cause there was nothing else to do. In this game theres so much to do that running around killling people is fucking lame. I see a white dot barrelling towards my direction on the map but i pay it no mind and go i to ammunation to buy clips for my gat. Come outside and the faggot is shooting up my car. I stare dumbfounded then he shoots me.
Also, there are no planes to steal at the airport anymore?
Itd be nice if i could play as my character in SP.
Cops are vastly more annoying online. I kill a fuckface who had been killing me (drawing no cop attention) and i get three stars. Dafuq
That’s why you do invite only games. You can also technically do SP with your character. Just play solo session. Nobody is allowed to join your game bottom line.
I don’t put much stock into passive mode. I just play with friends who aren’t dicks.
I did too, took a lot of parent mixing, but I did it.
So, I remember seeing a game mode editor/creator in a trailer for GTA Online.
Where is it?
Been trolling the shit out of people online in deathmatches using only the nightstick.
Shit feels so good, especially in maps set to night. I was sneaking around, running up out of no where and sleeping fuckers left and right. Not to mention pulling idiots out of cars and bashing their brains out, even after they die, just to be an even bigger asshole.
Planning on getting my strength stat up high enough for me to one-hit people with it, or unlock the bat or wrench.
i got the bat by just picking one up during the mission where you steal the rv with meth lol.
Just watched the alternate endings. Both suck.
I’ve done every “story” mission solo so far. It gets annoying at times because the amount of enemies is freaking ridiculous at times, but after getting teamed with some fucking jackasses once I decided I’d rather go solo from here on out.
I’ve also decided to play the open world on “invite only” from here on out as well. I do notice that it tends to be harder to rob stores solo, because NPCs will show up and start gunning you down during the robbery itself, but aside from that it’s not nearly as annoying.
As for character creator, I did manage to make my character look somewhat like Motoko Kusanagi, so I’m satisfied with that. Doesn’t excuse how bad the creator is, but at least I got something out of it.
Got some strippers numbers, but was disappointed that all you can do is invite them over to dance. I wanted some lesbian sex, god damn it.
Proof or be destroyed.
Really… damn. im goin back through the story mode just to see the ‘other options’.
Online is what you make of it. As far as actual content goes, it’s pretty barebones right now, and there is some definite issues. Like, if you have a group of friends playing and start doing missions, then post mission you sometimes get split up into different public games. Or that the missions tend to be super unbalanced. Gerald missions, aka drug dealing ones, you drive to a point, gun down some guys, bring the dope back, and survive net you about 3-5k (higher level ones 9k and some of the highest level ones 25k) for 5 minutes or work. Simeon missions (repossessions) send you out to blaine county to chase a dude in a moving car, that seems to know you’re coming, and can go upwards for 10-15 minutes for 2k cash. You can only own one property, so most people just save for the higher ones instead of working their way up the foodchain.
However, just bullshitting with friends can be fun. Like our grove street story above, going down to grove street to get ourselves a bike. not scripted, no real reward, just a story and a memory and a bike to live on.
The game has a lot of potential, especially once heists and more complicated jobs open up. I’ve noticed each liquor store has a back room with a safe in it, but currently no way (known, at least) to access it. I’d like to try using sticky bombs once I level up enough, or something trying to get the employee to open the safe, but that might be something coming in a later patch.
Also I went and checked out replacement xboxes, but fuck I can get a PS3 GTAV bundle for almost the same price as a used xbox right now. Definitely not buying a replacement until next month… and then I may jump over to the PS3 as well sadly.
I also noticed that there are a lot of small banks, with rendered interiors which you can enter in single player, but the doors are locked in Online. They also have a vault door towards the back but there are never any tellers behind the desk.
On the subject of the player splitting, its not really a tech issue but its very finnicky. What i noticed is that you get dropped into the same free roam you were in before the missions. So lets give an example:
Me and NikesB are in a free roam together.
Willy invites us to a mission (through the job list on phone)
We accept and play the mission
We can vote on other stuff and play together still
OR
Even if all 3 of us vote free roam, it will put Nike and I into our free roam, while Willy will go back to his previous free roam lobby.
If he cant join that one it will either drop him in a random one, or his very own.
That’s pretty much my understanding of the party system. It’s vanilla as fuck and needs some attention.
I also agree that the reward/risk/difficulty for online missions is FUCKED. Spell it out slow. F-U-C-K-E-D.
I can do Violent Duct for Gerald, net $9000, 1k+ RP, and get it done under 2 minutes. Using only regular firearm ammunition which in total runs you $150-$600 depending on weapon type, and how much you missed because your aim is ass. But it’s still $8000+ regardless.
OR
I can do this one mission for Lester, where i blow up two cop cars, get an unescapable 3 star, drive to another police parking lot and blow up a riot van while cops shoot at me from the sidewalk as soon as i turn the corner on the way there (insert rest of mission here because ive never finished it), all while still 2-4 stars. And only get paid $2000. I know the payout because a friend told me, but lets think about this shit for a second.
The only good way to blow up the vehicles is explosives. I think there is only the two cruisers and the van (hopefully). I like to be fast and efficient since im attacking TWO fucking police departments. Any hostility and i get lit up like a christmas tree. could use grenades to blow up the cars but you can only throw one grenade at a time obviously. The cars are split just far enough to where its damn near impossible to hit both cars. So say i tried to hit both, it didnt work, had to spend 1 more on both individual cruisers. I threw 3 grenades at $150 a piece. I already burned $450 of the cash payout. Now to be fair, you do get two freebie nades at the beginning of the mission which knocks it down, to $150 again, but I still have to blow up the riot van and hopefully nothing else. so to end that math here lets just leave it at $300 total cost for grenades. I throw the first grenade, instantly get stars. cops right out front and i get shot. Body armor is gone. $400 out the window(i have heavy armor). Ensue rest of mission with bullshit and similar costs.
I could do it the fast way and use sticky bombs since they dont give you stars just for throwing them, and blow up the cars on my way down the street, but that still uses two bombs at $650 a piece. $1300 of my $2000 payout and ive only done the first objective. No matter what you do the cops at the next objective WILL hit you. Body armor gone again. $1700 total costs. Sticky bomb the van. $2350 total costs. I just paid this socially awkward fuck $350 for a headache, and minimal RP.
So you do math:
Plan A
Payout: $2000
Grenades: -$300
Body Armor: -$400
Total gain: +$1700. Not worth the level of difficulty or time spent.
Plan B
Payout: $2000
Sticky bombs: -$1900
Body Armor: -$400
Total loss: -$350. You just lost money fucktard.
This math is assuming you remembered to hold the button down to actually throw the grenade from your car instead of just dropping it. I didnt the first time and ran out of grenades and got dead. It also assumes there is nothing past the riot van objective wise, and also that you didnt take your personal vehicle and get it blown up. That would add insurance cost of claiming it back.
Now i know what your thinking, “But terrible name-senpai, that is a mission meant for lower ranks who dont have the heavy body armor.”. Yeah well fuck you. I did that mission when it initially became available. With that level equipment you get fucking wrecked. At level 35 with kind of better equipment, you still get wrecked. It just takes a few minutes longer. I did the mission with a friend multiple times and never beat it. It is seriously not worth it. They need to re-evaluate this kind of shit.
