poo poo yeah. I'm going to head over to the clothes shop and try to get on the roof with a gun.

Even more elaboration: get a van, park it out front. Get on the roof of the store and wait until they go in. Now move the van into position in front of the door. Shoot up the van when they try to come out.

Bonus points: put a sticky bomb on the car.

There are so many ideas for stunts you can pull now. I would love to see someone using an ATM. Baseball bat to the kneecaps!

Loving the racing in online. I'd need a PC version with wheel support to get the most out of it of course.

I think its a very clever way of making it so people really have varied and interesting characters instead of a bunch of itendtikit "guy with short black hair and beard" and "hilarious fat person".

Oh and holy poo poo when you unlock lester and can use him to put bounties on other peoples heads!

She has black drainpipe jeans with high heel combat boots. I got the full outfit from a Blinko or whatever they are called. Each stand has different clothes so you need to walk around the full store until you actually find pants/shoes/accessories.

You can definitely get some interesting results if you fiddle enough. I've got a cute art house/hipster girl with glasses and a beret. Gonna spend my entire GTA:O experience talking about foreign films.

Is there a way to change who my voice chat goes out to? as far as I can tell it seems to be going out to everyone on the server or something, and people got lovely when I was screaming at a store clerk to hurry the gently caress up with the cash.

I don't think you can change that, if you are in a party for example the scream at the clerk mechanic doesn't work since your voice goes to the party and not the game. What you can do is snap your fingers close to the mic and/or hit the mic with your finger, works perfectly and isn't as bad as screaming into your mic like a lunatic.

There are indeed trains in multiplayer. I stole somebody here's orange-rear end car earlier and maybe just kinda sorta :airquote:accidentally:airquote: parked the rear end of it under a locomotive.


Totally accidentally.






Then I may have accidentally air-striked two other goons who were racing down a desert highway IT WASN'T MY FAULT the sun was in my eyes.

Someone said earlier that you can shoot the bottles behind the clerk if it's a liquor store to speed things up. I tried it, but it was my first robbery so I have no frame of reference. It went pretty quick though.

You only have to shoot near the clerk and they'll hurry up. You don't have to hit anything.

I played GTAO with some goons all night with only a couple issues, stats reset at least once, and my minimap is stuck enlarged permanently making it impossible to see my health or armor. This bug won't actually go away upon switching back to single player or restarting the game from the dashboard. Despite that issue, it was still a load of fun all night.

Tap down on the d-pad. If you tap down on the d-pad then it cycles the display between small map/health/armor, large map and the player list+small map. I don't know why they don't show the health and armor on the large map, it would be very easy to fit the tiny bars on there.

Be careful doing this if you are robbing stores with a goon buddy. I pistol whipped and killed Danstanster multiple times during robberies because he got too close to me while I was shooting around the clerk to speed it up. It was pretty funny the first time it happened.

Is there a jacket like this for the male characters as well, or just the sports-biker type ones available in the clothes shop? Bought one anyway, but wish I could rock some sweet leather like that on my trashy meth-addict-looking biker.

EDIT: Also took a bike for my first vehicle, sort of unwillingly-- wasn't sure it would lock me into making it my first 'owned' vehicle. But I'm not really regretting it, it certainly makes robbing stores really easy. Might've looked for a muscle car had I known, though.

Assuming you're generally aiming in the right general direction, etc, etc, are you holding down the trigger with automatic weapons? Tap it instead and fire in small accurate bursts.

You can take your body armour on and off in the inventory screen (hold BACK/SELECT). Very neat. No longer taking extreme measures to avoid exposure on the beach.

If you have any idea how to reproduce that it could be really useful. Long range selfies are kind of missing right now (what if you could put your camera down and have it take a photo on a timer? Cmon R*!). Though I guess it doesn't matter now that we can get other people to take our photos for us.

'Excuse me, could you take a photo of me and my car? Here's $5.' *drives off without paying* *runs them over*

It's cool that is a thing.

The dumbest part is, the first race can also be done in Solo mode. You race Lamarr instead of a bunch of random people. The thing is it doesn't work when the servers are down :v:
