Policenaut posted:The casino in LS has actually been updated a few times over the past year, like they made a rudimentary interior that you can glitch into and I think there's some code here or there that suggests that the casino may be operational some day. That'd be pretty incredible. There were audio clips that leaked over a year ago of Lester talking about the casino being open in online. Not sure if they're on the current gen versions though.

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. Feenix posted:This is truly bad driving:

I've played a few PS3 games with online casinos (Home, Test Drive Unlimited 2) and I imagine it'll turn out the same way. Gamble with in-game money, have ATMs everywhere so you can buy Shark Cards when you go bust, offer a shitton of exclusive rewards you can only get through earnings at said casino. "Oh, you want the brand new Casino Penthouse? Get $500,000 winnings at Blackjack and it's yours!" That kinda poo poo fits perfectly with Rockstar's weird fetish for gating stuff behind other stuff.

I've got a great idea for a plate (it's DIKBUT) It took a few days hen I got a text message in-game that told me my order was ready, I just need to visit LS customs. Of course on the way there, I was killed (I had a bounty on my head) and I had to slip-n-slide my car on rims to get there. Policenaut posted:Make sure it's a plate you like too. You only get one.

Whilst we're creating an info post someone posted this earlier on which is probably useful RE: Guns Pistols: AP pistol is the best. Heavy pistol is probably the best semi-auto. SMGs: Sweeper is the best, Combat SMG as a backup. Get the Micro regardless for drive-by purposes, sometimes it's useful over the AP pistol. Shotguns: Assault Shotgun, but buy the sawed-off too since you can use it from a motorcycle ARs: Special Carbine or Bullpup rifle (they appear to be stat-identical) - special note to the regular Carbine Rifle, which does less damage per shot but is more accurate than either. MGs: Combat MG Snipers: Heavy Sniper Heavy Weapon: whatever Thrown: stickies

Unless they changed it it uses LMG ammo and it's stats are recorded under LMG's. If you can help it you should only do drive bys with the AP Pistol, the only reason to carry an SNG is if you are too low of a level to own the AP Pistol.

Custom plates have to be unique so I guess that's why. Once you set it it's locked to you and nobody else can have the same plate. This is a good or bad thing depending on how much you care about being *~**~*unique*~**~* I somehow have different custom plates on singleplayer to online though. My first custom plate order was put in and I got them in singleplayer, then the next time I started the app it had all reset. I tried to put in the same plate and was told it was taken, put in a different one and that became my online plate. This has persisted in the generation switchover.

When I say custom plates I mean literally "In single player my characters can all have the same custom plate I entered into the app which is different to the custom plate I have on my online account", not that characters have their own custom plates.

Twitter somehow manages it with their usernames and I'm going to make a wild guess that more people use Twitter than play GTAO.

Maybe they didn't want people sitting on interesting plates and selling them? It's more likely to just be weird design choice than this but that's the only thing I can think of that could possibly happen if they let people chop and change plates while retaining the uniqueness

Zip! posted:http://gta.wikia.com/Gusenberg_Sweeper ? yeah that's my list. I didn't know the Sweeper used LMG ammo - I've never paid attention to ammo since I got 9999 of everything a year ago and just push the buy all ammo button all the time.  I just changed it (removed the Sweeper from SMG, edited a couple things to compensate) so you might want to update geeves. BitBasher posted:If you can help it you should only do drive bys with the AP Pistol, the only reason to carry an SNG is if you are too low of a level to own the AP Pistol. I think the micro has its place for killing drivers without blowing up cars -- basically only on missions. The AP is more accurate but the way drivebys work with the stupid "can't aim unless you're already shooting" poo poo sometimes the micro is a safer choice. In general, the AP pistol is better, absolutely. Psion fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Dec 2, 2014 |

geeves posted:Added this to the OP (well the 2nd post). Expanded on it a bit as well. Still need to get to the car info. 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.

Croccers posted:On the next-gens can you still just buy the DLC pack assault rifles or are they rank locked to a degree? Yes. I mentioned that the Special Carbine (and bullpup) and (I'm pretty certain) the Marksman Rifle can be bought immediately. I need to getmy 2nd character (level 7) transferred to double check all of this. But I know the special carbine is definitely available and I bought the sweeper with my alt since I created it back in February. Shotgun (non-assault) only deathmatches, last team standing, etc. can be very fun since it's more of close proximity thing and you can't pick someone off from too far away. And with the Assault Shotgun you don't even have to show yourself around the corner, you can free-aim it without exposing your whole body.

So I totally missed out on the Sweeper (and the musket and I'm sure some other stuff), but I'm hoping they bring it back (and hopefully before February). Have they said if it was a one time deal? I meant to get on earlier this year and grab it and everything, but I wasn't really playing any more and they had nerfed so much poo poo that I was kind of bored of it all, so I never did grab any of that. Also, as per weapon discussion and those "best in slot" recommendations, is that just for PvP or just for everything? The stat bars don't make much sense in game, so I guess I'll stick with the recommendations upthread.

They're generally the best to use for any purpose within their class. There are occasions where a lesser weapon is good for certain small situations, like even when you have a heavy sniper it can still be useful to keep a silenced regular sniper for some occasions.

Well I played a little PS3 GTA Online over the weekend in anticipation of buying the PS4 version, since I hadn't played since 2013. Got the PS4 version all installed and updated last night, went to character transfer aaaand... nothing. Blank level 0 character. So I logged into my Social Club account to check, and my PS3 character is also now showing as non-existent. gently caress. edit: vvv Did that, thanks. Anyone go through this and successfully get all their poo poo squared away? Slim Killington fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Dec 2, 2014 |

If it was before like late November, it might have been one of the ones straight up lost due to server issues.

Well I played this past weekend on that character, and everything was as it should be. Cars were all there, stats were all there. Nothing out of the ordinary. I have no idea when the last time I played in 2013 was, but everything was there on the PS3 this weekend.
