So how late are Heists now?
How any times did they give a date for them so far?

Does anyone actually give a poo poo about the actual heists at this point or is this another duke nukem forever / half life 3 thing? It's great that they're finally thinking of a way to get a hook on people for interesting things to do in Online but this just feels like too little too late. Just a casino or some other ways to gain / blow money and interact with people wouldn't have been a miss like 6 months ago

I haven't played too much lately, and heists will definitely get me involved again, at least for awhile. If I didn't have a ready-made group of friends (goons) to play with, I never would have stuck with online onto the current gen.

Someone who doesn't have a group to play with can't have very much fun with this game if they've been playing it since launch - it has become very stagnant. When was the last DLC we received? Aside from the aesthetic upgrades if you went to the current gen there hasn't been anything in quite some time.

I fire it up every few days to hopefully find some fun in free roam or otherwise, and obviously goons are pretty good at that. can't really imagine how someone coming into the game now with no crew or friends to play with all the time can keep interested long enough in the game to buy shark cards, which is what Rockstar want us all to do anyway. They advertised Online pretty much as an MMO, suggesting there would be new stuff to keep people interested regularly, which is obviously not happening fast enough. Either they're super hard at work on another game at Rockstar or they're just really struggling to find content, who knows

Glad to finally see a date confirmed, but like has been mentioned, it'll probably be a cluster gently caress the first couple of weeks. Rockstar's servers poo poo themselves on a good day, the added stress is going to be a bitch.
Plus, like geeves mentioned, the lizards will probably strike.

I'm glad I've got a decent list of goon friends to attempt heists with, seems like it could be really fun, but with a pubbie squad I would likely toss my PS4 through a window before the heist even started.

Another theory - even if your connection is fine, playing with someone who has a poo poo one could mean that their game spawns vehicles, and only syncs them at the last minute.

And what really sucks is it's not related to your speed. You can have 50d/ 20u and still lag because your router, or line to your house is poo poo and you experience packet loss. The reverse is that you can have 10d/3u and it will perform spectacularly on a high quality network.

Pingtest.net is a good thing to try on your computer hooked to the same router if you start having horrible desync/lag in game.

It can at least help tell you whether the problem is on your line, or on whichever remote console is hosting the session's line.

Weird, wasn't expecting to be quoted, didn't think I had posted in a while and I just caught up to the thread after ignoring it for days. Space Engineers and Don't Starve Together have been eating all my time.

Anyways, I'm not sure if you should. While it's nice playing it on next gen with more players, less freezing and same amount of network issues. It may not be worth it depending on how many friends you have that would play. There's only a handful of us goons who have it for the bone, 5 maybe last time I checked, which limits the fun. Not that I've played in the last little bit but about month ago when I was playing, I was mostly playing alone since everyone went to ps4 and you can only cause so much mayhem alone.

I'd wait and see how heists turn out before pulling the trigger, even then waiting for it to go on sale would be a good idea.

I am sure a hacker knows all about rewarding and accomplished behavior. I mean, raping a chick with some mickeys is the same is getting laid right? Same result amirite guys? Nothing like work and not having to do it and get that sweet sweet payoff. :smug:
Not going to lie, somehow my settings got hosed and it pissed me off, missing 3 easy bounties in the lobby I was just in.

Why the gently caress does aim+fire even a loving thing, that is too many buttons to throw my sticky, and now I cannot even find that function in the options menu after 6 minutes of searching. Kind of pissed this seems to be a recent thing, never had an issue before with this. I'm not sure if it was a carryover feature like the aiming options from SP->MP without a on-the-fly change but I can't find it there either..

It's the second to last option in controls I believe. Drive by settings I think it's called

Yeah, so that function straight up will not show if you connect via remoteplay, using a vita. I'm not sure why the game has to be a little bitch about that small feature, but sure!

This happens to me a lot when my system turns on and PSN doesn't connect right away. If you quit out of the game during the opening cinematic and re-launch it, it normally will go right into online.

It's could be a valid excuse to SWAT someone :v:

"They're holding a hostage at 123 Main St."

"What's the hostage's name, sir?"
