So wait, is this microtransaction stuff or something? If so, why is the $1,250,000 GTA Fun Bux option priced at $20? I was in EB Games today and they were selling $1,000,000 GTA Fun Bux codes for $2.
If they were $2 for a million, buy then resell the codes. It's the way.

That happened on the 360 too. Mostly from when it looked like someone got hit with a car but it didn't actually hit the player in question but from your view your game ragdolls them.

I don't think I have seen a tank in online with the latest release.
I was fighting one today.
On that note new Passive Mode loving sucks. The shitlord instantly dropped into it once I killed his tank so I followed him around. He didn't drop out of Passive until just before he hopped in his new tank (Which I tossed a decent number of stickies on to burn it ASAP but still). I'd still like to see a PvP cool down on it. You kill a player you have to wait x amount minutes/deaths without a killing another player until you can switch it on.
Calling Muggers on tankers still works though :dance:

Also I'm always up for Pubbie Shenanigans if you see me online, look for ArfCroc on PS4. I can gun/drive/fly. I tend to terrorize mic mouthbreathers, horrible names/crew tags and tankers/supercar kiddies. Races and missions are cool too. Until server connection issues are sorted I'm playing on Auto-Aim.

You can force weapons to Pick Up only for GTA Races in the hosting menu I believe. I like making silly bike races so I tend to force sawn-offs and regular pistols, using AP pistol/SMG as the out-of-the-way super powerup.

TL;DR The Entity does seem competitive until the competition is very, very close, then you realize that the Entity isn't truly competitive, it's at a disadvantage.
How often does this happen unless you're playing with friends or in some kind of competitive ladder (I'm guessing there's something out there, there was a few crews for Golf like that)?
Unless you're racing on airport tarmac tracks the physics throw too much luck into the draw. Sometimes I plough through a stop sign, other times it will kill half my speed. Should I dodge that trash can or drive through it? Is it going to flip my car out time?

Racing with pubbies I could win with no problem in an Entity because as a rule people suck rear end at driving. When racing with Goons I could win a good chunk of the time in my Entity, but there were a few goons that made it dicey, and after changing out to an Entity it gave me a noticeably better margin for error.

If you have really good control over a car there is no meaningful random factor most of the time. You don't run through signs or trash cans. Clean racing is the only way to go because little fuckups add up a lot. The physics in this game for car control are actually really solid. Surprisingly so.
As nice as the DS4 controller is, I still kinda dislike it. The hat thing on top of the thumbsticks is rubbish (thumbs slip off it all the time) and I just don't have the same fine control over the left thumbstick like I did with the 360 controller. Thumb is too cramped up for smooth fine control. Microsoft have it right. :colbert:
So I find myself bumping up the curbs more often, which normally isn't too much of an issue but the unsure predictably nature of hitting objects is. Or, you know, pubbies happen.
Everything is so bumpy and cluttered and bouncy compared to like... say... Midnight Club LA. But that world was designed for racing and racing alone.

Im not fully sure I understand the requirements to not fail a stunt jump.
I wonder if the race Stunt Jump glitch still works. Pick an official race that has a stunt jump in it's circuit. Instead of finishing the race just turn around and keep hitting the Stunt Jump. The race where you drop from the elevated road near the IAA/FIB buildings to the street was the quickest one.
I'm permanently stuck on -3 Stunt Jump Remaining.

I think that one of the worst decisions that Rockstar have made with regards to GTA:Online so far is patching out the ability to open the back of and put cars in the Titan.

Rockstar are dumb.
Honestly for me this is one is the things that makes sense that they don't have. They still can't get their poo poo together with stable servers after an entire year of beta testing and a few hundred millions in their pockets from it. How are they going to get vehicles to behave physics wise?

Didn't that crash the game/servers? If so, they patched it because programming is hard, not because they hate fun (they do hate fun though).
Dunno about the Titan but the Tow trucks hardlocked anyone in the vicinity on the 360.

No, that just broke physics. I guess it crashed games too but the other Tow truck one was for boring trolling. All you did was tow a car and for whatever reason that would crash other players games when you came within rendering distance :shrug:

The best SUV is the Huntley S.
Fast, good turning, not as top-heavy as other SUVs so it doesn't flip as easily.
It's also good for missions and loving with pubbies as it provides excellent cover. I use it for terrorising pubbies in freeroam along with my Sultan.

Added this to the OP (well the 2nd post). Expanded on it a bit as well. Still need to get to the car info.
On the next-gens can you still just buy the DLC pack assault rifles or are they rank locked to a degree?
Otherwise for new players, the work-horse weapon progression is Heaviest pistol you can get > The plain SMG for foot and micro for drive-bys > The AK. Beyond those levels the rest of the better weapons should start unlocking and it doesn't matter as much.
Shotguns are basically gimmicks until you get the Assault, that is a CQB/blindfire machine. Enemy hiding around the corner? If you have the extended mag just start shooting before you strafe out around the corner.

I don't know about that, I did good work with the pump shotgun before I got the assault (which totally rules, agreed)

the AK is totally outclassed by every other rifle so it's worth knowing that you want it when it's your only option and you want to ditch it the minute it's not.
I like the pump action but I have mixed results with it. The Assault is friendlier towards lag with the whole bulletspam.

And on the AK, totally. Ditch it ASAP but when it's the only assault rifle you have access to it works well enough.
