Criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot, so my disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts!
I don't even know whats happening here.

After waiting for the race to load for maybe 15 minutes now finally... something happened where I was at least walking around. But then I couldn't get into any cars and it said there was one other person it the game, but four or five people left one after another. And tt kept telling me to go to the race marker, but nothing would happen.

Then I punched out some dude and the cops showed up who shot me. The greyed out wasted screen appeared but it didn't restart me or anything, just stayed at the screen for over a minute.

Had to restart, and now waiting on other players again :smith:

This is terrifying, I'm new to the whole online thing on xbox and now that I've been waiting for 5 minutes for the first race to start I suddenly hear little kids screaming nonsense from my tv.

Holy poo poo.

Hahaha, this is part of why I don't use my xbox anymore, less mics on Ps3. Though playing Last of Us online led to my favourite moments on my PS3 so far, listening to 2 Londoners screaming "HE'S OVER THERE BRUV AAAARRGH!" for about 20 minutes during a match. I was laughing so hard and actually stopped playing a few times just to hear them yell.


Anyone tried getting their hair cut yet? I need to know how meaty beards get.

They're probably waiting for R*'s announced release date, so likely in 39 minutes.

I remember when RDR was released I spent a good 10 minutes laughing my balls off at some idiot teenager who kept yelling at me while I killed him because I was "cheating" aka crouched behind a crate headshotting him while he kept trying to rush in and kill me, it was great until I got bored anyway.

First experience with another player: spawn in, hop in a car, see another guy spawn. Honk my horn to see if he wants to come along for the ride. Get shot in the head.

Great. Guess I have to be a ruthless psychopath, too.

Also, I kinda doubt I set the WR for that first race, game.

So I just left an Online session and went back to one of my single player characters. Now stuck in house, can't leave or change character.

e: I am dumb, Trevor was unselectable for whatever reason. Switched to Franklin fine. Michael still trapped in house (sending help)

It's not up on any PSN yet. It's only up for Xbox players, funny enough not Australian Xbox players.

This is the longest hour waiting for anything, ever. I'm like an 8-year old kid on Christmas morning all over again. It's ridiculous. And yet, also kind of fantastic that a videogame can still get me this excited.

Time to load up the game again, see if PSN has got it.

Create an invite only session if you want to bypass the matchmaking, which currently is broken. You can invite crew that way?

e: Yeah I do like this intro more than the normal GTAV one.

Is there something I'm missing or is finding ATMs to deposit your money in a pain in the rear end? I'm riding around with 7k in cash on me and I'm terrified I'm gonna get killed but I can't find a ATM for the life of me.

Hopefully I can find a pink sparkly cap.

Right now I'm doing an invite only session of GTA:O alone, the introduction is GREAT! Sadly it goes "failed to join job or activity" so something's busted on their end, error joining a session.

According to my Xbox I'm suffering from 'strict' NAT settings. Having looked online and tried a few router configurations I can't fix this showing up.

Anyone else had this same problem? Has it impacted your ability to play online? I've personally not had much experience playing online with the 360.

I wish one of us would have had the wherewithal to think of this yesterday. Now half of us will be cursing the loading screens while the other half spends the next 4 hours or so trying to min/max our neandarthavatars. I need to get a grizzly beard and some "my boyfriend beats me" sunglasses to cover up as much of this thing's face as possible.

Some routers are hard-set to have moderate or higher NAT, you might be SOL.
