Speaking of heists, are NPCs going to be hired help for them like in single player? Or has rockstar even said anything about them yet?

Yes they made an entire online mode so you could play it exactly the same as single player. Because that makes sense.

Man, survivals are really fun. Take a bit long given the payout though.

Whats the highest wave goons have gotten to? I rarely make it past wave 7 with pubbies, but that pays out a cool 14 grand.

This might be one of the more stupid questions in this thread, but I just can't find a definite answer.

My friend is on the XBOX 360 while I'm on the PS3. He insist that since GTA Online is on the same servers, that as long as we are in the same crew/friends in the Social Club, he should be able to join my sessions.

I said he's stupid and proceed to mention that other than FF online, there's never been any real cross-platform multi-player. However, I can't seem to use google to find a definite answer that XBOX and PS3 characters can't play in the same sessions. Help me out!

Your friend is an idiot.

I finally got into online and wow does this suck poo poo. After a too long intro sequence I got to enjoy being plopped into some random game.

Texture pop in was awful and the lower amount of npc traffic combined with matrix level cops is unpleasant as gently caress. I wish they had rolled in all these little repeatable missions and marked theft targets on the map in single player, instead.

Not going to bother with this poo poo, maybe it will be better on PC but I doubt it.

Yeah this poo poo sucks, sell your game back.

I have to be the only person who doesn't give a poo poo about a $2000 penalty for dying. You can rob a store in less than 30 seconds and you get between $1000-2000. Survival missions routinely pay 15-20k. What's the problem?

You're ignoring time spent losing the cops, and the fact you can die twice in less than 30 seconds.

The point is, unless you are dying once every 5 minutes for hours one end, this shouldn't be a problem. If you are dying twice in less than 30 seconds what the gently caress is wrong with you?

"Because it's there" isn't a good reason to have things that obviously bother people who aren't you, though.


IMHO you're playing GTA wrong if there are never times when you die every 5 minutes for a few hours.

In order for this to happen you would have to die and immediately upon leaving the hospital, start shooting everything in sight and let the cops kill you without putting up a fight. And constantly repeat. Hell, most police chases last 5-10 minutes. Unless you are just actively looking to die, this should not be happening.

It's a long workaround for something that is highly unnecessary. I shouldn't need to have a helicopter to rob stores just for fear of dying.

I shouldn't need to go to a private session to avoid losing 6k in 30 minutes.

You are bad at this game. Maybe once you get better you wont die every time you see another player/cop.

Would you say it's a similar amount of time as the people trying to convince me that they this game is too hard for them?

Congratulations you are better at the videogame than he is, but somehow you still haven't explained what purpose a death penalty in freemode (the mode where you are supposed to run around like a retard blowing things up and ruining each others' fun) serves

It's part of the game. Suck it up and deal with it like every single other person who plays this game. You could have made $2k back in the time it took to cry about losing $2k on an online message board. Jesus.

Yes, because you can tell how good I am at the game because of what I post on the forums. You are bad at discussing things on the internet.

It wouldn't discourage anything, it's not hard to die, it's not hard to kill someone by mistake, and if you're looking to grief people, it's undoing several hours of work when you kill someone.

So uh this game has no idle detection, or maybe it just doesn't care if you do idle. I had to step away for like 15 minutes and I was still in my friends lobby and when I got back I was idling forward in a jet during an air race.

I've been booted for idling too long, so there definitely is.

That solo tactic someone posted a few pages back was great. You fly there on the far end of the runway, run over by those bleachers, snipe the 2 guys guarding the far plane with one bullet, run up to the jet and C4 it, steal the jeep that's there, and drive by sticky the remaining 2 while being shot ineffectively. Very fun.

Why do you guys keep saying the "far end" of the runway? The jet with the 2 soldiers and the jeep beside it is on the NEAR end... the far end would be where the lone jet sits and there is no jeep there.
