If there's ever long form DLC for this game on the scope and size of like Undead Nightmare from RDR then I want it to exclusively be the Trevor & Lamarr Show. Possibly like a buddy cop flick or something.

poo poo, I completely glomed over the fact that GTA:O launches here real soonish. (related: jesus H christ it's basically October already?!?) Went and googled a few stories and oh yes... oh yes indeed. I'm going to fully look forward to first-world goons (and the internet as a whole) coming in here and freaking out that GTA:O is most likely going to have server issues when it starts up. "OMG I PAID 60 BUX FOR THIS BROKEN poo poo!!!!" <shoots youtube video of him throwing an empty green DVDcase in a toilet>


Does no one remember how messy RDR online was at launch? And that's way less ambitious - but evolved into awesomeness.

The first time I used a helicopter I landed it slightly crooked and when I exited I was killed by the blades.

I was trying to steal the fighter jet from the base, zooming in all low and making great, fast, short landings with the Cuban 500 when I set down perfectly to hop out and run to the jet.

Yeah, I ran forward directly in to the still-spooling-down propeller blades <CHOOM> WASTED

A while back the games industry did some research that the longer people go without playing a given game, the more likely they are not to pick it back up. Similarly the more often people play, the more likely they are to stick with it.

So if you have any kind of recurring revenue stream (sub, f2p cash shop, advertising revenue) it's in your interest to keep your players coming back regularly. Cue tons of games, from MMOs with Dailies, to Facebook cash grabs, to f2p titles, all including some form of 'daily' thing you can do for rewards.

In this case, it appears that the 'reward' for logging in regularly is not losing your stats, hooray! Make sure to log in regularly to maintain your engagement and interest level with their title, because that maximizes the odds of you spending some cash or caring about their brand / game / franchise, things the company wants you to do.

Not only all that, but you don't even have to IMPLEMENT that system. Just imply or threaten that it's there (say, in a hint/tip screen) and that would be motivation enough.

Cause, as we're seeing in this thread and others: holy poo poo it's way too easy to rattle the lot of you.

So I jumped off a building with a parachute after finishing a mission. Just waiting for the game to show the mission complete screen.

Franklin decides to take out his phone to call the mission giver, which results in the parachute vanishing and I fall to my death. So I failed the mission. :v:

Ive been playing online and keep getting thrown into friends games which is excellent. I just got put in a friends game, so went and stole a police car. I then followed him around with the lights on chasing him, he apparently though i was just another police officer as he had a wanted level so went in the pay and spray. I waited next to and as soon as he left started chasing him again, killed him, took his personal car and threw it in the ocean. Hes blocked me from playing with him now :(

I hope that he's a goon and that he comes here bitching "OMGWTF the wanted system is sooooo broke fuckin' R*!!!!" :emo:

It should probably go at the top of the OP that :siren: you should make a manual save or three before attempting to play Online, perhaps even before accepting the patch :siren:, or you might lose or gain unwanted progress in single-player because Rockstar.

Seriously, the game allows you to make as many saves as you want and does so pretty quickly why the gently caress aren't people doing this anyway?!?

I agree. However, it appears not everybody does this, or maybe they realised what had happened too late and had overwritten their save(s) or whatever, but I doubt anyone expects an Online patch to break their single-player game.

Yeah I hear ya. I always have a rotating pile of about 5-6 saves where, when I go to quicksave, I just overwrite the oldest of the six. That way I always have a backup from not very far back in addition to the autosave to go back to in case what happened, happens. :shrug:

Lots of really good quality of life things like vehicle insurance and ownership, car delivery, healing from inventory, etc only exist in multiplayer unless that all got patched in since I last played. The patch right before I quit added the inventory menu but all you could do was change hats and glasses (which didn't even remove wanted levels like it does in multiplayer) and use the quick GPS.
