Haha what the hell game. So I'm running Blow Up II with a pubbie. Im driving the Banshee and we need to lose the cops. Psychic cops that know your every move before you make it. What ensues is a 6 day chase around Los Santos culminating in us getting trapped in some trees. We get blown up, yet pass the mission. huh.

Awesome. Beats finishing a mission correctly, but the game still fails you! Trash Talk does this sometimes if you kill the crew leader w/ a buzzard.

"Mission failed: you killed the crew leader"... yet that was the frickin' objective

Any new car recommendations? I'm lvl 58, got about 650k. I bought a Coquette a while ago, since it was relatively cheap for being pretty quick. But I'm looking to get into a super now. Should I just save a little more and go for a Zentorno, or are there other things worth considering? Entity, Turismo, etc?

This is correct. If it's gonna be your only super car get a Zentorno. That said the Entity is highly comparable if you prefer how it looks over the Zentorno and the Adder is superior in races with long straights because of its higher top speed. The Adder lacks slightly in acceleration to the Zentorno and Entity, though.

The Zentorno also has great armor as firearm attackers from the rear are much less likely to hit you.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

The Zentorno is very good for casual free roam gameplay as well, considering the lack of a back window means that pedestrian enemies cannot shoot you from the back. The downside to this is that Zentorno sort of became the new rear end in a top hat super car so people will probably be more quick to jump at you if you drive by them in one.

Google Cache on Rockstar's website outs more potential GTA 5 next gen updates.

quote:

  • Increased draw distances, finer texture details, denser traffic, and enhanced resolutions all work together to bring new life to the cities, towns, deserts and oceans of Rockstar North’s epic reimagining of Southern California.
  • All new content and gameplay created since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online, including an extensive array of new Jobs, an arsenal of new weapons, scores of new vehicles, new properties and player customizations will also be available for the PlayStation 4 system, Xbox One and PC with much more to come. In addition, the current community of players will have the ability to transfer their Grand Theft Auto Online characters and progression to their choice of PlayStation 4, Xbox One or PC.
  • Grand Theft Auto V for PC will also feature a video editor designed for advanced movie-making.
  • A brand new first person mode for vehicles that shows the interior of the vehicle, including working speedometers, tachometers, dash lights, and more
  • A brand new first person mode while on foot
  • A wealth of new easter eggs and random events for Story Mode
  • New animals roaming Los Santos
  • Animals in GTA Online?
  • Players that transfer characters from Xbox 360 or PS3 will receive free new weapons and a free garage in GTA Online.
  • Newly overhauled character selection screen

I love the sound of having an honest to God cockpit mode for driving, and that improved draw distance is gonna be so sweet for sniping.

If the cockpit mode includes bikes and there's some effort to keep the camera level while turning that could be amazing.

In a Lazzzzuuuure jet in a 1-on-1 dogfight with another dude in a lazer. Have the upper hand on him constantly and he just can not shake me off his tail.

Fire the guns... nope no hits.

Keep firing: nooope.

Get in ---SUPER--- loving close, the bullets hit him and you can see plenty of explosions coming off the rear end of him... Yeah, the explosive bullets hurt my jet, crippling it, and he flies away with no damage - finally able to get behind me and put one missile into me cause I can't turn for poo poo in a broken plane. Sit there mouth agape. Xbox button -> Y - turn off the ol' machine and call it a day.

Somehow I essentially shot myself down by being to close to my own exploding bullets that were only exploding because they were hitting his plane. What in the mother of gently caress, R*.

I thought it was a loving miracle it survived. The engine died once or twice on the way to the warehouse and I thought I was going to plow a building.

For that matter I don't really understand the "right" way to do that job since you get 4 stars and the police choppers badly outrun the cargobob.

Nice picture!

Just be aware that backing into people is a horrible idea now since there is no penalty for blowing up a car as long as the owner is in it. Backing in is an excellent way to eat a rocket/grenade and die.

Are you talking about the one where you go to the base and steal the chopper? Me and Hugh Malone found that the best way to do it is have one person steal the cargobob and fly out in a straight line an have another person steal the buzzard and distract the cops until the cargobob person loses the police then have the buzzard dude escape the cops.

Hey, here's a thought: We don't have to pay insurance when destroying a car as long as the owner is in it. What happens if we swap cars? If I drive on of you guys' expensive cars and a pubbie blows it up, does he pay then and get bad sport points since the owner isn't in it? We need answers.

Insurance is split between the two from what I've experienced.

Any of you guys using third party controllers? My PS3 controller is broken again - the buttons are performing different commands than they should. For instance, when I go to shoot it puts me in cover and when I honk my horn I eject from my vehicle. The sensor on the inside must be compressed - it appears to be a fairly common issue from what Google tells me.

I don't want to buy a $50 PS3 controller for a few months of use.

Everybody is moving over to lljk, it’s for both xbox and ps3. Someone will probably send you an invite.

I’ve been away for a while too and recently came back. They kinda nerfed the payouts on the missions that everyone grinded endlessly (RR and Coveted) but they bumped up everything else. Its much better now, so you can make decent money by just playing whatever mission pops up. Even Simion and Gerald missions pay pretty well now, it’s great. :)

You have to wait until all the photos on a page load. After that you can select the photo you want and hit triangke (or xbox equivalent) to delete.
