It sucks that the GBS has infected even the Games forum and poo poo but what can you do? Apart from avoid using certain trigger words that seem to bring down the wrath and the tears. Maybe we could make a seperate thread akin to the spoiler / misogyny (I bet that was a riot) thread for people to bitch about torture scenes in their modern murder and organized crime simulator. That way we won't have the back and forth 'That's too hosed up for me, I am a literal torture survivor! This is sick, Rockstar! Muh internet PTSD!' to 'You guys are being lame, it's a game, grow up, etc.' every couple pages. Or put a spoilered thing in the OP? Tokubetsu posted:Just booted up the game to find that all of my lovely truck mods for Trevor are gone but at least the truck's still there right? ='( =) That's lovely, I've never had that happen to me. I'd be pretty pissed off because I spent quite a bit of money making Franklin's Buffalo into a modded up, turbo'd beast that leaves the other street racers in the dust every time. Hopefully the first patch will fix all the car issues, they seem to have dropped the ball on that one.

Did someone mention after selling Debonair stock (After the corresponding Lester mission) you should wait a few days and repeat it with Redwood for even more money? EDIT: My bad, it's in the FAQ post, which is pretty inclusive. If anyone compiles the bounty locations onto a map or anything it should go there. Although with the IGN map I think I'll maybe be able to work out the pictures you get for it. I'm not sure. TehGherkin fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Sep 25, 2013 |

Google Butt posted:I was going to hold out for the PC version, but everyone's saying we're most likely 6 months out from that. I'm trying to decide if it's worth dusting off my xbox solely for this game as it'll cost me a total of $95 to get this up and running on my monitor (got rid of my tv since I've last used my xbox). Can you not grab a little data transfer switch where you plug the xbox display stuff into it and your PC monitor into it? My Xbox comes through my PC display and uses my stereo for audio, I just flick a little switch to swap from PC to xbox display. Someone else could probably explain it better than me.

Final Heist: I went with the armoured truck hijack and found it a little underwhelming, walk in, drive out, do a street light minigame, a little shootout and a boring driving section, over. Was the other option more fun? Ending: Did anyone go with anything BUT Option C? Kind of a no brainer. Also post-game Trevor Strangers & Freaks: Does anything actually happen with Trevor's mum except him curling into a ball on the floor crying when he brings the truck back and she isn't there? Those two scenes with her were uh, something. After the game auto-swapped to Franklin wearing a suit and complimenting a random chick, I swapped back and he was crying into his meth pipe about it.

Been in for a little while, quite fun. Although the post first drugs reclamation devolved into an immediate shootout, I didn't start it, but I was the sole survivor and cash collector. Gerald's Last Team Standing must have bugged though, it started, we jogged forward and then it ended and we were arbitrarily declared the winners. Got JP for it but it kinda sucks, wanted to play it. Now it's going onto the next job? Fun so far, a little janky, but that's to be expected. Good luck to all wanting in. Edit: Totally different guy hosting this time, I dunno if it was from the same pool of people or what. Maybe if the host craps out someone's randomly declared the winner or the person with the most points wins? Double Edit: job immediately ended twice in a row. guess I'll rob some stores. There's auto aim? I use freeaim in SP and I checked to see if I could change it in case other people were all using auto. The option was locked out.

Zedicus Mann posted:I had that happen as well. I wonder if that's supposed to happen or if it's just because the system was sort of glitchy when I tried it. Yeah it's happening with all jobs now no matter what type. Ah well. Obsurveyor posted:The aiming is the same as Assisted Aim in single player. Not the crazy snap halfway across the screen Traditional GTA but if you're halfway competent you can easily headshot people by aiming and pulling down and firing. Are you sure? In the shootout I did I had no lock on at all. Maybe I was just too excited / not paying attention. It'd be pretty stupid of rockstar to have player aiming default to whatever they had picked for singleplayer and be unchangeable once they're in-game. Haha, the only way people have to show their displeasure at the jobs instantly ending is hitting 'Dislike', I don't know what that effects, maybe the change to be matched up against each other? I can't be too bummed that jobs aren't working when a lot of people haven't gotten online yet.

Hah, poo poo, had to go back to singleplayer because my character bugged out and couldn't move, it updated my online character again as I was playing, and he has gone down two ranks and devolved considerably, having 0 skill in driving, flying, strength or lung capacity.Roshambo posted:Has anyone managed to get in that wasn't on right when the servers opened? Yup, got in for a bit not so long ago. Edit: Went back online, my character's portrait was my guy before I quit. Got back on, totally different guy with 0 in driving, flying, strength and lung capacity. Hoo boy. It's replaced the character I made as well. No harm restarting I guess.

DrNutt posted:Yeah except the free aim in 4, 5 and RDR has been totally fine. Are there a bunch of PC master race people in here that just bought a console for this game or something? Yeah, I mean it's not ideal, a mouse would obviously be easier, but I don't see the huge problem people have with aiming using the joysticks. Just up the sensitivity and practise for a bit, getting headshots is a lot more satisfying when you don't have to lock on and tilt the stick slightly everytime. I've fallen through the floor of the Carpark of Lost Souls twice now. Tumbling through the void as Baker Street plays.

Blunt Force Trauma posted:I literally had this post typed up but then didn't post it and posted something else instead. Regardless of how you feel about controller aiming (I'm not denying that some players have incredible controller aim, I'm pretty good with it myself), it doesn't hold a candle to mouse aiming and it requires a lot more effort to get good at than mouse aiming, there would be huge skill discrepancies in the shooting mechanics if Free Aim was forced for Online which would make the actually-important mechanics like stealing vehicles, causing mayhem, and running from the cops less fun. Wait, shooting isn't an important aspect of Grand Theft Auto? Don't you think it may be involved under the Cause Mayhem one? Online games have skill discrepancies. I thought when you were playing against other people, that was part of the whole thing.

Blunt Force Trauma posted:Yeah I mean shooting is a part of the game, but it's not the focus of the game. This is a game about grand theft auto, crime, clashing with the police, purchasing property, stacking cash and trying to make a name for yourself. Gun battles are only a small part of that. How exactly do you clash with the police without shooting? Considering how much time in game is spent shooting, and how many missions have you shooting people, I wouldn't call it a small part of the game. Are you genuinely putting 'Purchasing property' ahead of 'Shooting people' in order of importance? Apart from Driving and Skill At X Minigame, what are the skill discrepancies that are gonna give more skilled people the advantage against other players apart from shooting? VarXX posted:I don't see why auto aim is a big deal when everyone in the match has access to it. Apparently choosing free aim in singleplayer will mean you're using it in multiplayer and the option is greyed out, a few other people have mentioned this being the case.

At least there are more and more goons seeming to get in and play rather than just the very few at the beginning. Reading the comments on the support article and trending community questions is pretty funny though. Quite a lot of literal "gently caress you cockstar i'm selling this game!" and such.

I'm replaying it properly for the first time since about release, grabbed the Beach Bum pack and the Business pack or whatever it is. I've forgotten how polished and detailed it all was. I just spent half an hour as Franklin sat next to his aunt watching Howitzer and smoking medical weed. I was wondering though, since weed is a bit different in some ways for everyone, does anyone get those audio distorty, echoey effects? I've never experienced them smoking weed, I just wondered if anyone had or if it was just added flavour, so to speak. I really like the new heavy pistol they added, and the little stubgun too, I had a quick try of them on my old save, but only those two pistols, nothing else or any new clothes. Gonna check those out on this new game. Bobby Deluxe posted:In the weed sub-missions, it has no effect on Franklin, but makes Trevor and Michael hallucinate (though the implication is that it's not normal weed anyway). I like that those missions are so good that they're still being spoilered

Some of the situations Trevor wakes up in makes missions even more hilarious with him. I was chasing a dog at one point and he's sprinting across streets shouting "What's with you people? It's just a man chasing a dog!" All while in his underwear, skin layered in pretty much every tat in the game. Just did Trevor's Barry mission. Still in briefs. "WHAT IF THIS NEVER WEARS OFF?!" and "IT'S THE ONE THAT TIPPED ME OVER THE EDGE!" are things that resonate alarmingly with me, but "YOU THINK I'VE NEVER KILLED A CLOWN BEFORE?" and "YOU THINK YOU'RE SO FUNNY, DON'T YOU?!" had me laughing the most. Then on my way to get some clothes I get a random event and it's the drunk guy who needs a lift. Hoo. Boy. TehGherkin fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Apr 13, 2014 |

If you're not having fun shooting your way out of Grove street and getting away from the cops as Trevor and Franklin with Lamar along I just don't know what to even tell you. Not to sound harsh, it's just even jet ski'ing away from the cops firing rounds is fun as hell. I feel like that mission is almost pure GTA. You've got a bit of everything almost. There are far better examples later on, of course. I'm doing my second proper playthrough and the second time round it's really struck me just how detailed everything is, I've found so much I never found before and all my characters have nearly max stats and I'm not even halfway through the story, just from exploring. (Except breath control, gently caress that) I found Jesse for the first time the other day, I just sat and smoked and chilled with him for about half an hour reality-time.
