I just don't want to pay 60 bux plus XBL plus a headset for 20 levels of pistol plink deathmatch and stealing drugs for Gerald before the good poo poo starts. I didn't mean to get all gamers.txt, I don't play many games online and I guess I'm not used to how it all works.

Oh, don't do death match. Death Match gives really lovely payouts. Possibly the worst in the game

ALFbrot posted:1. Everything I hear seems to indicate that the patch removed QUICK replay, not replay in general. Can't you still vote for "replay" instead of just pulling RT to skip the process? I'm not sure if it's just me, but voting for replay after a mission never works for me; the box is just not selectable. It works just fine for races or other modes, but not for missions.

gently caress this god drat lester mission where you have to blow up cop cars, a riot van, and cop bikes all whilst cops are chasing you, the vehicles are miles apart and you have a short time limit. What the gently caress. Oh yeah and the riot van is in a fenced off area, haha. Frankston fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Oct 9, 2013 |

Air Julio posted:So don't. Try to find other things to do that don't involve killing each other. It's not that hard. Sorry but how much fun can you have without occasionally dying? The fact that playing bumper helicopters for anything more than a few minutes drains your bank account is awful. I'm not saying don't punish us but when our reward is at most for my level is 10k for a mission and its 2k per death, its pretty poorly balanced. 6k is a steep penalty for joining a random game and getting killed 3x before you manage to quit. I'm not saying this game is poo poo. I'm just saying the fee for loving around with friends is way to high compared to what you make at least for low levels (20~), especially if you just want a nice car. Currently I avoid free mode when I have anything in the bank that I'm saving for a purchase. A c E fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Oct 9, 2013 |

If there was a chance of seeing Meth'd Up and Violent Duct and Rooftop Rampage etc in the same hopper as the other missions, I'd probably be less inclined to try and do the same mission over and over, and be more inclined to just let the voting decide what we played next.

Aw yeah, finally scored a Sheriff SUV (which I had painted, tracked, and insured) after only two tries and seeing one ripe for the taking after my rampage in Sandy Shores. It's too bad the black-on-white number on the top still appears (#32 in this case) but I'll deal.

Hamburlgar posted:This is what I honestly don't understand. Well I'm not sure how lucrative this is, but I was churning some races with Coldforge, we did several as there were some other goons getting wins in there too (15 wins total for me) and I went from rank 52 to 55. The races where I would win gave way more RP than the victory screen shows or something like that because more often than not after I'd win my RP meter would jump up like 2.5 bars. It was just the prison race, 1 lap, took about 35 seconds per race plus the time in the menu.

I'm pretty sure cars sell for about 10% of their value, if you compare the proceeds to how much they cost to buy online or about how much it makes sense for them to cost. You can hock a Dominator for about $3500, for example, and a Gauntlet is about 30k to buy. So in theory, you could sell some of the rare sports/supercars for 10-100k. Trouble is, you can't actually sell them!

It goes up really fast from knocking people out in stealth mode, too. I went on a punching/KO spree in singleplayer to raise Stealth and Strength and Stealth goes up more from knocking out one guy than Strength does from beating up an entire group of people. I feel like the skills and skill gain rates in the game are kind of broken, to be honest. Lung Capacity is the stupidest poo poo in the world; it's virtually impossible to max out without spending like 2 hours just diving and holding your breath til it runs out over and over, and does basically nothing since even with it maxed out you don't have the lung capacity to really explore underwater, and there's barely any missions in singleplayer or multi that I've seen where you swim. Stamina, on the other hand, is amazingly useful to have maxed, and you'll probably do so before anything else gets past 60/3. EDIT: I can't say what effect Stealth has for certain, but I think it obviously stands to reason that that "noise bubble" you make when you run around shrinks and eventually disappears as it goes up. There's not a lot of ways/situations to use that, though, because 90% of the time you're outnumbered 4:1 and don't wanna be anywhere near melee range because you'll die instantly after knocking a guy or two out.

I heard it can make you kind of invisible as well, but have yet to see that in action so I'm not sure if I believe it, I know that respawning and zoning in can do a similar effect so that may be people simply being mistaken.

That's it, I'm done with this game. A guy is holding up a shop, So I block him in with my car. Somehow he kills me though the door, the police impound my car for no reason (I have no wanted stars) and when I run back they let him flee the scene and shoot me, again for no reason.

I don't think I've ever seen so many obviously unfairly treated goons in one thread before. I do remember back when I was a young goon, we would all rush out and buy a newly released game only to find out we didn't like it / chose poorly / it was poo poo / incompatible / a coaster... Then we hosed right off because that's all you get to do after wasting your money. Protip: You are not entitled to anything (except loving right off), your opinion doesn't matter, no one cares.

Driving goes up pretty fast just from doing races, it will be my first maxed stat by far. Shooting seems to go up pretty slowly no matter how many men you shoot in the face though. I imagine you need the shooting range like in SP but every time I go in there it matches me with Some Guy, even if I'm in solo mode. I just want to (poorly) shoot at targets at my leisure without it having to be a competition.

HiriseSoftware posted:How did you get this into the garage? I found a way to get an FIB Buffalo by going to the big dishes south of Sandy Shores, just like in single player. But it tells me I can't put police vehicles in the garage. Was that something that was patched out? Is there a trick? Just saw this. The Sheriff SUV can be garaged/tagged/insured. I'm sure Rockstar will fix this eventually, but for now it's fun. Some bits about it: -Insurance is Free (so is your premium when it gets blowed up) -Resprays are Free -The only mod you can do to it is bulletproof tires and explosives. To get it, you (or a friend) have to get a 4 star wanted level out in the country. It's easier with a friend (they get the cops attention, and you creep up and steal the truck).

Speaking of griefing, a lot of goon-on-goon griefing has been taking place in game the bigger the crews have gotten. I know that loving around is all in hilarious fun and there's nothing at all wrong with having a laugh, but if you're actively screwing some other goon brethren in free roam that are annoying by it/asking you to stop, I'm going to start removing you from AWCO. gently caress with pubbies instead please.
