I have never used the PS3 to do anything before I started playing GTA5, how do I get the patch for online?
Be connected to the internet.

KNEEL BEFORE THE WICKED KING!
So, question for when it stops making GBS threads the bed and I get home:

I know I can set up private games and the like for GTAO, but is that possible for the first one too? I'd have thought it would be, but from a few posts in here it sounds like I might have to roll the dice on how often I get called a noob and/or human being by (man)children up to a certain point.

I don't know if it means the single player has been patched but now I can continue the epsilon stuff which seemed to have been missing for the last few days.

What do you mean I'm not on the list?
Had about 30 minutes of smooth gameplay and then everything started going to poo poo. Saw two engine-less trains pass through eachother while being propelled by magic, ended up in a dupe of my car that I didn't have permission to drive after I got out of it, tried robbing a store with another player and the loot bag hovered away through a wall.

Seems really well designed though, very smooth with lots of nice features. Lots of options and little convenient touches.

TRP Post of the Month October 2021
I keep getting signed out of PSN, I can't really be sure if it's GTAV or somehow my network. I mostly can't tell because I have all of two games, this and AC3. I don't recall getting signed out of PSN while playing AC3 but I don't really see how GTAV could be kicking me off something outside the game.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Edit: I forgot to note that sometimes when I hit the PS button and try to sign back it it won't work, but if I restart my console it'll always sign in just fine.

Agree. Even something like Red Dead Redemption where you are forced into playing characters would have been better than this. I've been randoming for 20 minutes and haven't seen one character I was satisfied with.

You have to split the money via an awkward and unintuitive menu but the game does tell you how to do it, or at least it did for me.

Yeah on XBOX its the back button but I didn't have any option that appeared to be: Split Cash with the Guy You Just Did a Mission With so I figured that it already split automatically. I feel like it really should only be an option if you want to gently caress someone over.

Also, if someone pops a cap in you and you die do they collect every bit of money you have on you or just a percentage? If it's 100% the griefing possibilities will be endless.

The worst part is that the very basis of having both parents influence your appearance is hosed. If you choose a male character with any influence from your mother, you wind up with a freakish little neck. I just ended up going with using John Marsten as my father with no influence from my mother, which I'm sure 90% of the people without the collectors edition will be doing.

Oh. Thanks for the spoilers game. I made my guy, readied up and then it kicked me back to story mode, where it apparently played a mission for me which is immediately followed by a *THIS PERSON GOT DEAD OH MAN DID YOU SEE THAT* phone call.

Yup, that's what happened with mine. Hard freezes always scare the hell out of me too, because that's usually when data's gonna get killed somewhere.

That is a cool feature, but it's random, loosely based on the stats that top out by the looks of it.

I can't play yet, drat servers, but my slacker girl Kitty is ready. Yeah, worst creator ever. Can't believe they didn't copy Saints Row and let people sort this out in advance so all the online personas were already stored. I just stopped messing with heritage once I got someone vaguely human looking, and stopped pissing with lifestyle once I got clothes I could put up with for the first hour or so.

I was playing fine then my 360 froze I restarted the game and had to create a 2nd character, I could still see my level 4 chick in character 1 slot but I was unable to play it.

I've decided to knock it on the head and give it another go after work tonight, I expected the servers would melt with the sheer amount of people wanting to get on this.
