I think heists will end up being the best thing ever or the thing that drives a lot of people away in frustration, no middle ground. I hope they are great but don't have my expectations set too high.

I kind of wonder if you'll be able to set your desired cut in the menu, so people can look at a list of players and the cost to use them.

I prefer the third turn, after the prox mines are enabled.

If so, I look forward to glitch where you can change your cut from 1% to 100% once the heist has launched.

The part where he's driving up to the cemetery and there's voiceover from his past? Is there a different option for that scene, because it's the only one I've ever played each time through.

Yeah, I thought that was the only version too. If you start that mission as Trevor, you skip the drive to the cemetery and right to Trevor digging up Brad's grave before Michael arrives.

On one hand I'd like to see a lot of what was promised added to the game. I already played the poo poo out of it on PS3, basically paid $50 to play online with you all on PS4. I agree with the open mic/white dot theory, it is fun. If I've had a lovely day I will come home, drink and or smoke, and unwind for an hour or two being a total dickhead. It feels like there is so much more that could be added to the game for fun but they just aren't and I have no idea why,

So, March 24th is the PC release date now. I bet heists get pushed back to then too.

For point of reference that now means, as of today, it stands at :siren: 10 weeks :siren: until the PC version is released which means that we're looking at ~ 9.99 weeks until heists are released. This is after they made how many millions during initial last-gen release? And shark cards? And double dipping on next-gen? And more shark cards? And potentially triple dipping on PC?

I would actually pay to get a PSN name changed. Hell, I'd even pay Rockstar if that's what it took, because mine is a garbled mishmash of my normal username. Nobody can figure out a way to say "FlamingDarkness" where it doesn't sound dumb and awful.

Did they ever actually give a reason why they can't do this?

Sony made some excuse up a few months ago that they don't allow name changes because they say people could troll other people then change names to avoid punishment, but I think Live and Steam both log your user names when you change them sooooo

And you didn't need to jump through tons of hoops either. It's safe to assume that MS kept records of your name changes.

I changed my old XBL name at least 3 times when I was drunk. I gladly payed the $9.99. I also don't understand why they had us name our characters but that name doesn't show up in game.

Is anyone on in the AM EST ? My new schedule has me up early so I cant stay up and play vidja games like I'd enjoy.

Yeah I don't get that either. Why do we name our guys but we still see user names on the player list? It should be character names by default, but with the option to show PSN names to friends and/or crew members.

Welp. The game stuck me in the Bad Sports lobby for killing people "the wrong way" (blowing up personal cars or hitting people in passive mode I guess, I'm not even sure), while the other 99% of the people in there are cheaters who teleport, spawn parts of buildings on people and explode the entire map 10 times per second.

It's amazing. I'm getting punished the same as someone who hacks the game, because Rockstar says I'm playing their game wrong.

I guess what I'm saying is Rockstar hates fun.

I've blown up a lot of cars in this game and have seen the warnings a lot but I've never once been in the Bad Sport Lobby. I assumed they more or less abandoned it as a punishment. The financial cost associated with blowing up a personal vehicle should be enough. I have a lot of money but I still don't like it when I blow up an Entity or Adder.

What platform are you on?

You can't kill people in passive anymore on the PS4 - are you PS3? If so there used to be an easy way to get out of bad sport. You have to get into a lobby and not do anything aggressive to another player for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes check your player status - you should be dodgy. You can rob stores and whatnot though, gang attacks etc.

Once you're dodgy, quick join a race. Finish the race and select free roam. You should be back into regular free roam.

If this doesn't work, try it again from the top. The hardest part is usually staying out of trouble in the bad sport lobby. Though they aren't usually crowded, the people that are there are super aggressive with k/ds of like 8.

I probably blow up more than five or so a session at least and it hasn't happened to me since they relaxed the restrictions.

From putting pieces together killing passive people is far more of a penalty than blowing up cars. I blow up cars pretty often, at least 2 or three every time I play and have never been dodgy.

FYI doing bad sport stuff in a bad sport lobby puts on crushing amounts of extra time to the point that you effectively never get out.

It's not like it doesn't warn you every single time you do it.

I think I actually made my voice hoarse from screaming at the TV while trying to do races to unlock more parts. It's not that I'm bad, but everyone else has super-modded cars and is beating me. Seriously, the most frustrating part of the game. I had to stop out of frustration and then did some contact jobs with some of the worst pubbies I've ever played with. I think I've got some bad juju today.
