I work for a software company that is releasing a huge update this week, too. Us marketing experts get the night off though. Funny thing about that proximity mine - I was still in my car and not that close at all to the HPV. I wasn't even that close to the car when it went off for that reason - I was trying to check it out through my scope to see if there was one on there, but away I went.

Kelly posted:There are two Buffalos - the Buffalo S is the car that Franklin has in SP and is more powerful than the regular Buffalo though neither are anything special. The S wasn't available in online until recently but you still don't see them around much. Sultan is great, Buffalo S is fun. Sounds good, looks good, performs okay. Reminds me more of a muscle car despite being in the sports class. but I like mine. Also the shape lends itself very well to armoring it up and using it as cover in missions, you're hard to hit behind that thing.

I feel like the Sultan thing is an in-joke that I don't get. It's a terrible car. The Oracle is objectively better in every possible way as far as 4-door cars go. Is it the rarity or something?

Is it the rarity or something? Leave. Now.  It may just not be your preferred car for whatever reason. But for me--and I know plenty of others--it has a really great weight/power ratio, is all-wheel drive, and has juuuuust enough slide to it that it whips through corners. Add in how much oomph/value you get each time you upgrade it, and it's dirt-cheap replacement costs(particularly when Kelly throws stickies like its fuckin' amateur hour.  ) and it's a winner in my book. The oracle just feels heavy and slow. No matter how much j upgrade it. Meanwhile, I can chase down pretty much anyone in my Sultan--even if they're in a super car. It's just. That. Good. E: and yes, I will also be on tonight with the rest of you non-celebratory goons. Let me take out my frustrations on the pubbies.

The Sultan is so much better than the Oracle that the comparison is mind boggling. The Oracle has better brakes, and that's it. The Sultan is substantially better in every other way.

When people say the "Sultan" is good, they're not talking about the basic off-the-street model. They're talking about the Sultan RS, which is the advanced model that the Sultan evolves into when you mod it enough.

The Orcale is very sluggish compared to the Sultan - you're not out running someone in a super car in an Oracle but it can easily be done in a Sultan. BitBasher posted:Are you on PS4?

Nintendo Kid posted:My preferred loving around cars are the Dominator and the Stanier. How can anyone prefer anything over the SandKing XL  Oh just beautiful. It's pretty fast, tough, and can go offroad even in the city. By which I mean that since it has such huge ground clearance and giant tires it can run over things that stop any other car. Barriers on the side of the road? Done. Pesky highway lane blockers? Like they're not even there. Do those pubbie players want to keep you on some elevated highway? Ramp off the side and watch them slam into the wall in rage! Brought to you by Vapid Motors LLC

It's very much an ugly duckling, in that it's a lovely garbage mobile until you dump all the mods into it and then it's amazing. Its starting stats suck and its modded stats own.

The Sultan is basically a Pokemon. You have to go out of your way to find the thing in the wild and when you finally catch one it's kinda poo poo until you slap EXP Share on it and get it evolved.

Stat sheets are useless because not every car gets the same bonuses from its upgrades. The Sultan (And Futo if I remember right) get huge bonuses from engine upgrades compared to other cars near them. It's really ridiculous upgraded. You can do a handbrake 180 and generate smoke and skid marks from all 4 tires when accelerating. The stat bars are entirely useless for comparing cars unless you only care about comparing a base car with no upgrades because not all cars upgrade equally.

It's also cheap enough to replace that putting sticky bombs on it and then chasing down dots and blowing yourself up to get them is both hilarious and affordable.

Glad we're all agreeable. So can we murder his rear end now for speaking out of line? That sin alone deserves penance. I'll bet he doesn't like Horse Factory either! And yes Kelly.. you are an expert sticky thrower. The only time we die from one is when I gently caress up, or it does some weird glitchy thing*. I am sorry for speaking out of line.. *You're a woman. I know better than to argue.

fyodor posted:i can never win races so im stuck with my entity xf :-/ Here's how to rack up a bunch of race wins now if you can't get a buddy to trade wins with you: 1) Buy or find a Sadler truck 2) Give it whatever mods you have unlocked just in case 3) Create or play any race that has the option for the "utility" class 4) Win every time, because the Sadler counts as "utility" and basically no one else is going to have one. So you can easily out run the golf carts and Faggios. If you're on 360, I have one specifically geared for it: http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/member/fishmech/games/gtav/jobs/job/Qht4jaXLg0uheNW5gv_5cA?platformId=1 Playing it on GTA mode so that the slowpokes can shoot each other and not ragequit is reccomended, as well as turning on traffic and wanted levels.

Nintendo Kid posted:For what it's worth, when I went to the Mask store and used the hats section, all the hats i hadn't collected or bought during previous events were sitting there to "purchase" for free. No special crate catching needed. How recently was this? I went to check this out and didn't see anything. Any chance Rockstar has fixed this or is there a special thing you have to do? I can't ever seem to get to those darn crates. Do we know if the snow is only for tonight as well? Also, I haven't really played with goons in a while, but I am in LLJK, so if you see me online (PS4) just shoot me an invite (if I'm playing single player though, I'm really close to the end of the story and I want to finish it soon, so I may be doing that tonight a bit, but I'll be on after that to ring in the new year because all my friends moved away  ) My PSN ID is same as here too. I know I've been getting some invites, but some are names I don't recognize so I can't remember if it still does the thing where random people can invite you so I would quickly check the Crew menu but I didn't see the names sometimes and just wouldn't accept.

I can't ever seem to get to those darn crates. I did this on the day before Christmas Eve, when snow had already started to come up. If it matters, I had been able to snag a single hat from a special crate in the Independence Day event, but hadn't gotten the others, and it let me "buy" them. This is on 360 incidentally.
