Is it okay that I not fill out one of them until I actually get a Xbone for confusion reasons? I still pop into the 360 version from time to time for rooftop sniping or firetruck hijinks when I can't find PVs to cargobob.

It's really annoying that the fences around the airport are now indestructible. Driving around to the jump each time is tiresome.

Really? Why the gently caress would they not make those a destructible asset, the only reason I can think of is the same reason for telegraph poles and stuff which is to save on CPU and RAM but with all this next gen hardware it's extremely dumb to actually take that out.

Well after dicking around with my buddy who just started playing GTA, tonight I start running missions and leveling up again. I miss my jerry can and stickies oh so much..

After that, death will once again rain down upon these insolent fucks.

Also, can someone accept my buddy into LLJK? He requested an invite. jayisspecials.

If you can vouch that he is a cool guy and won't shoot crew dots or be an rear end in a top hat in general (that is reserved for me).

edit: Either someone pruned the invites or he hasn't requested an invite because I'm not seeing it. I also tried finding that name and it doesn't exist.

How to be Leet Like Jeff K:

If you don't post in the thread, don't have an old goon crew as your active crew, your profile is private or nobody recognises your social club name then there is a very high chance your request will be deleted.

Also the admin interfaces for crews suck and it makes life easier if you request yourself and then post a link to your profile.

Rockstar, you suck. If you wanted to reduce the payout but still make something fun and worth doing then you have set the amount to 50K you turds, alternatively keep the sum at 5K and tie a multiplier the users crew level to make them want to play your game for longer periods of time and more frequently.

Just yet another in a long line of design decisions in GTA:O that leaves pretty much everyone scratching their drat heads :shrug:
The only reasoning that I could ever see them holding out on it was for future DLC but since the phone glitch allowed a number of us to grab it perhaps it got put on the back burner. But the fact that they put all the time into making the skycrane with the big rear end magnet on it, and then only allow it for like a mission and a ½ in single player just further promotes more head scratching.



At this point I want to make the little :shrug: arms on the :rockstar: logo.

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.

With the Elgato though I had a weird problem on the 360 that it would record every other voice but mine.

That's not a bug. The Elgato has no way of recording your voice input because it's not being played out on your TV. You need to connect your headset via a separate cable into your laptop/computer and then using the commentary feature to record your voice over the clips or record it in a separate program and sync it.

A flying tank really is the best thing in the world, I can't believe you people haven't been doing it for longer. I was taking part in those antics around a month post release.

The best thing is where the angle appears to be a perfect shot but you instead shoot the underside of the Cargobob killing the pilot and allowing yourself to gracefully spin and plummet to the ground. I think it was Matazar who did this to me and then ended up getting his tank stuck in a tree.

FallinInTheBlak, I sincerely hope to sticky bomb you in game one day. Gertcha you little prat.

Sorry for making one big crew to unite everybody under. The crew is just to find players, it doesn't stop you from being in other crews and doing your own thing. Also if you want to Sticky Bomb me buy an Xbox One and make sure you play during prime GMT hours.

The DLC which they offer wouldn't fragment the player base anyway so their point is completely invalid. The only reason Rockstar sell Shark Cards is to pad out their profits during the middle of a development life-cycle because everything they offer is for free, but for some reason they chose to negate the truth.

Are there any accurate/reliable figures available which either show how much money Rockstar has made from selling Shark Cards or how many of them have been sold?

A guy ranked 578 in this lobby. Is that genuine? It feels like it's taken forever just to get to rank 33, I can't imagine the hours put into getting to 578.

Maybe, but probably not.

It certainly is possible for them to have reached that level though legitimate means but for a couple of months right after GTA Online had launched people found out that Rockstar were sending their character files back and forth openly across their network and so all they needed to do was catch their file, edit the values and send it back. Doing this people could change their level as they pleased, set bounties between −2,147,483,648 and +2,147,483,647 as well as god mode and some other crazy stuff.

Rockstar rolled back a lot of people for abusing this, but for lots and lots of people nothing happened and so they were able to stay at their level with all their money.

I think Rockstar have fixed most of the glitches now with the exception of hiding in certain walls and buildings which you shouldn't be able to get into and people spawning car crushers and ferris wheels in your garage so you can't take your vehicles out, the last of which I believe is only happening on last gen consoles.

How are you supposed to exit from the Merryweather helicopter? I was stopped and was holding X to rappel and nothing was happening and upon pressing Y nothing happened.

Triangle works fine on PS4 for jumping out and parachuting, had to use the helicopter pickup earlier today due to mechanic apparently not wanting to bring a car anywhere near fort zancuso.

You can rappel down too?

I guess my helicopter was just glitched, it may have been because I entered the helicopter in passive mode (something I've never done before) and so it wouldn't let me interact with it. When I took passive mode off to try and get out all I could do was cycle through my weapons but not use them. I ended up having to kill myself.

You can rappel down only if you're the passenger and the Merryweather pilot is still piloting it.

Nicely done Rockstar.

Operation acquire a Karim Sultan has so far been a resounding failure. I can't for the life of me get them to spawn anywhere - I spent about an hour driving around Blaine County and by the Prison in Super and Sports class cars and nothing - loads of Asteropes and Futos - not a single Sultan :(

I found mine up by Sandy Shores around by Trevor's place if that helps. The Sultan is definitely worth it.

edit: Has Rockstar patched up the cargobob picking up vehicles? All of the Cargobobs I have been in wouldn't let me deploy the grapple. Or is this something else you can't do whilst in passive mode?
