Skip the Waves, Syncopate
Forwards Backwards

Just finished some races online and there was this kid in the lobby talking mad poo poo. Then he goes on about how he's going to hack everyone's account and kept asking his brother to get the laptop and start taking down names. I of course started loving with him and getting him all riled up. Then he started talking about dad dicks and I blocked him.

Any way to report someone to PSN like XBLive? I know he isn't capable of anything but man, it sure would be awesome for that kid to lose online privileges over Xmas break.

Players say rampant money hacking is RUINING GTA Online.

Haha, way to not show your bias kotaku. The majority of the responses to their article are people defending the hacking and exclaiming the game much more fun with the absence of grinding. I only wish I wasn't away from my xbox for two weeks. By the time I get back online, all the fun will have passed. I'm even going to miss out on the Christmas masks. :(

Unlimited money is cool and stuff and I like the idea of increased bounties but I was in a lobby earlier and this guy who kept putting 100k bounties on me over and over again without needing to wait for the timer (I think that was a thing that was put in?) as well as calling Mercs on me one after the other. Invincible people are annoying, I came across a few of those earlier.

I was also put in a lobby with a bunch of 10 year olds bragging about how much money they had. One asked the other "How much money do you have?" to which he replied "I got about 800m" and he said "Wow that's nothing compared to me. I got over 4b and 4 entities."

Why the gently caress would you even need 4 entities?

The snow has an insane amount of effort put into it when you consider the rest of Online. Textures are all different, NPCs are wearing warm clothes, there's small drifts around trees, snow sticks to your car after driving on it for a while, and I'm sure tons more I've missed. I'm surprised they didn't put Christmas decorations around the city and throw in a holiday music station. It would be a shame if there's no way to re-enable this with a cheat even if it's just in single player.

It's loving hilarious how they've broken the game with such ridiculous amounts of money. Yeah it's dumb as poo poo that money is so hard to gain and everything is at a hyper-inflated price, but what the gently caress do you even do with the cash that hacker Santas are tossing out? The money would be a lot more tempting if I didn't already have everything I wanted; now it's just annoying to have to XMB out or stay in private sessions to avoid a potential ban.

And it's apparently only for today - which leads me to believe the snow will also be used in the single player expansion they have coming out.

I just went down to the beach and NPCs were roaming around in swimsuits like usual. It looks like all they did was change the top texture layers and add in the snow field.

Yeah. I wondered why you took cover behind the fire truck when I was burning his adder. When he shot me the game didn't even show me where he was :( I just wanted to get a titan and fly over the city.

I also left the session previous to that because there was an invincible guy in a tank. His tank wasn't invincible, I destroyed it with my own and then he just got up and took 8 point blank tank shots before pulling out and RPG and blowing me up instantly.

edit: Didn't that guy also manage to shoot all 3 of us in the firetruck with one bullet?

Missiles seem to lock on to player's cars if they land a few shots on you. They lock on to air vehicles regardless of who is flying them.

Sorry the marine layer is causing an inversion on your server right now. Expect lower temperatures and precipitation in the later hours with winds out of the north at 10 to 15 miles an hour. We're looking at snow accumulation of two-to-four inches possible in the overnights. That's your Duke Chin accuweather forecast for Tuesday, December 24th.... Back to you, Whip!

I don't mind the vehicle/money glitchers because it doesn't really affect me at all. But fuuuuck those invincible players. This one guy completely ruined a Capture game I was in. What the hell is the fun in walking back and forth capturing the briefcase?

Later on I saw another guy with a 9k bounty on himself that was also invincible. poo poo is boring as hell.

On a positive note, the snow and masks kick rear end.

How long is this snow going to last ? I missed what it said. Tonight is for alcohol and christmas movies.

Tomorrow night is technically still Christmas and I plan on Ho Ho Hoing all over pubbies with stickies and tanks.


And I'm assuming there will be a lot of new players. Welcome to your new game, here is $200 million dollars and some guy you cant kill murdering you with a baseball bat.

I think that the snow isn't that hard. It's just a shader like rain. I went under an overpass and there was no snow. I realized that rain does the same thing, and the rain shader just makes everything it touches more reflective.

So a snow shader probably didn't take that much time.

Same. I'm so over this game that I don't care if I get banned. My current outlook is to enjoy the exploits because they are more precious than the actual game since they are for a limited time only.

Who is on Xbox right now? Do we have a crew to consolidate us yet?

I Just loaded this up on a big tv for the first time. Letting the idle camera take over looks cool. Also pro-tip: turn up your monitor or tv's saturation. Usually the default setting is kind of lifeless. It may be called saturation or color.
