Holy gently caress the insurgent is fun.

It also heralds the return of tank sniping-like shots to kill everyone inside where RPGs fail.

Sniping the gunner is the easy shot but satisfying

Does anyone know if the character edit glitch is still workable and if I can change genders? (on PS4)

I feel like I've played as a dude for so long that it'd be cool to switch for awhile, but I don't know how easy it is to switch back or if it's even still possible.

Yes, I've been doing it and you can change gender.

-Create a new character and get it to level 6. Once you hit level 6, exit back to single player. You can keep using this level 6 character over-and-over to change the appearance of your main.

-Sign back in to GTAO, wait until you hit the "Do you want to change your appearance" screen, DO NOT PRESS X

-Bring up the console menu and sign out of PSN (Settings > PSN > Sign out)

-Go back to GTA and load back in to single player

-Sign back in to PSN

-Return to GTA, select Online > Choose character and choose your main character

It should give you the same "change appearance" screen.

Yeah, sorry about the NAT error thing I got on the last setup mission. I didn't realize it was happening and I just thought everyone was being really quiet, so I'm sorry if I just talked over all of you. Worked out either way!

Since images leaked of the new vehicles coming, I knew the Insurgent was for me. But I must admit, I was worried it might let me down.

It has not let me down.

It is--without a doubt--the most amazing thing in this game. It's broken as gently caress. I'm talking early days of PS3 and the tank wars broke. But holy gently caress is it broken in the right ways. Five of us essentially emptied a server out. In less than 45 minutes.

I even had a mode where the only thing you could do is shoot from a vehicle and it won't let me shoot from a vehicle. Unbelievable. Is there some sort of hard reset for this that won't erase any single player or online progress?

On the bright side, had a perfect prison break run without any talking or organization. Or shooting from cars, obviously.

Edit: fixed it after finally finding someone else with the same problem. You have to go into a race with weapons enabled. Weird.

edit 2: how did I just discover outfits? These are amazing

There are so many times a Kuruma can trivialize a mission. Stealing the Valkyrie from the dock? Drive it all the way in and shoot everyone safely from inside. Stealing the LAPVs from the quarry? Drive it INTO the quarry and shoot everyone from inside! Don't bother parking from a high vantage point! Just drive that thing straight into the quarry! Gotta steal Lectros from some Lost? You guessed it!

The best thing about this compared to last gen is if you keep your level 6 character you will get the prompt to change appearance every time you try to logon with it. Basically you can keep your regular character and an appearance glitch character without having to delete and make a new one every time you want to change.

Lester must have been medicated beyond all reason to claim that motorcycles with no cover from gunfire that cause you to wipe out and lose money every time you encounter a gentle breeze were the best tools for the bank job, especially after ranting earlier about the armored car's proficiency at escaping from police. Feels to me like the Lectro escape and Kuruma escape should swap missions, and the magnet chopper be given to a player rather than a cutscene mook.

Are Heists good? Need to know whether there's something to look forward to other than the tsunami of exploits that'll come with the PC version.

My experience with Heists:

Do the first one that is free and requires two players - not too bad.

Pay $40,000 to start the second one, wait for ages to 3 people to sign up. Go through cut-scene which can't be skipped and then immediately dumped back to world with 'not enough players'

Pay $40,000 to start the second one again. Wait for ages to get 3 people to sign up. Go through cut scene which can't be skipped and actually start the first setup mission. A few minutes later while driving to the prison bus get rewarded with 'Mission failed' because someone bailed out.

Say gently caress it and do some races.

They may well be good if you can play with people you know otherwise, gently caress that. I'm not going to keep paying to watch a loving cut-scene.

I'm pretty sure you don't pay until the heist is completed. I kept checking my bank account when we had to re-start the same heist a few times and I didn't see multiple charges.

They scaled back the effectiveness of the homing missiles with this new update for whatever reason, so it's possible that you're not supposed to be able to. If you can get far enough away, you can take the Gunnar out with the marksmen rifle. Sniping works too.

Can you imagine if Merryweather came after you in several of these when someone called mercenaries on you? That would make it a bit more worthwhile.

This was during one of the heist setups - the convoy mission where you have to steal the truck from Merryweather. Someone hit it with an RPG and it blew up - this was notable because normally you would take it to complete the mission and we couldn't. Maybe it was a glitch or something?

Your example was one of a kind. It was taking 4-5 direct RPG hits for us to die in the Insurgent. It was... amazing.

But there are people like this that really need to be put down like a cat with cancer.



Anyway, there are ways to take the Insurgent out that aren't RPGs. See my previous post. You can snipe the gently caress out of them like you could the tanks of olde. You can be killed by cops or shot out of it by other players. The gunner is extremely exposed but as long as you're constantly on the move, with plenty of snacks and armor you can have a nice 20 minute run. What was effective for us last night was that as the gunner, I focused on keeping the cops at bay while everyone else would focus on the pubbies.

Doomsday Jesus posted:

Find a new server, get the band together and repeat.

Being kicked from a server by other players is a badge of honor :colbert:

Tanks were an issue because there were no consequences. They didn't receive bad sport or acquire insurance fees on top of that they were run by video game billionaires. You could still be killed in passive mode as well. You rarely see a tank now and now there are real counter measures.

What Lasagna's video doesn't show much of is that we got ours several times as well over the course of an hour and various people in the insurgent were getting killed. So the battle did rage for at least 45 minutes before I left and everyone continued with the Lord's apocalyptic vision.
