Collecting cars was one of the things I was originally very excited about with GTAO. I never did get into it for this reason. Been playing since Xbox 360 launch and the garages have been a mess ever since. They will always without fail eat your cars.

I played for ~2-3 months after release on PS3. The only cars it ever ate for me were the glitched police cars and helicopters I put in my garage. It's not as bad as you say.

:( I'm down for doing yours after? I just don't want to lose out on my $1m after coming this far.

Are the challenge payouts like Mastermind and such repeatable? Like if I do all the heists in order again do I get another extra million?

Yeah, we can do mine after. I liked the setup missions for PS job.
They're one-time things, only.

If you want repeatable, do your dailies. 28 days you get I think it's 500k and 50k rp.

So I'm hosed out of $11 million because I helped someone do Mission 3 of one Heist first before anything else? Man that's lovely.

No. When you start heist #1 it resets all of the challenges.

An all-one-crew, hard-mode run without anyone dying is almost certainly going to take some preparation anyway. Everyone needs to be familiar with and proficient at each heist mission because quick restart of a failed mission locks you out of the Criminal Mastermind challenge for that run. If someone dies, you have to return to free-roam and restart the mission. This takes forever.

If you just want the $1 mil bonus each for all-in-order and all-one-crew it makes it a lot easier, but if you're trying to go for Criminal Mastermind also then you want to put together an experienced group beforehand and set aside a couple of long play sessions. What I'm getting at is that doing the heists out of order doesn't matter because you'll do them all a bunch anyway and when you're ready for your dedicated challenge run you can just start with heist #1 and go in order.

Dude, what the gently caress. Last night I found a Weazel news van, hell yeah, so I took it to my third garage. Drove my Monroe on a heist setup or two last night. Get on today and in my main garage, in place of the Monroe is the news van. In my third garage, where the van originally was, there's nothing. I called my mechanic and instead of the 23 cars I should have, I have 22. Did I just lose my fully modded Monroe? I'm gonna be so mad if I did.

Exact same thing happened to my Roosevelt. Took it out, bought a third garage, stored a car there. next day the third garage was empty and now there's a sandking where my Roosevelt should be. The worst part is I can't even get a new Roosevelt. Check to see if the van has the same value as your Monroe. My sandking is worth half a million with no mods and I can't sell it.

Edit: How do you do all one crew? Some of the setups only have two players. Does this mean only two people from the crew get the reward? That would be lame.

Well that's good, I'm glad that it's not possible to get locked out of that bonus money permanently but now that you laid it out for me I don't think I'd ever be able to achieve all of this poo poo anyway. Jesus that sounds hard.

Get a crew of 4 and split off for the first heist. Then join back together for the 2nd. Rockstar did a really really stupid thing in splitting and confusing players like that.

Also good fun guys, shame everyone and their mother has heatseeking missiles and the Valkyrie's not super great at dodging. Did manage to avoid a couple shots and it felt like a Vietnam war movie :P

e: also tried Stalking Warstock for the 10% discount but it seems like it didn't give it to me when I bought the Valkyrie. God drat it. Whatever. I love this loving game. Hope you guys are still rolling in my Insurgent.

Yeah, the heat seekers from the handheld thing seem far more agressive than the ones shot from planes or helis.

pretty much makes helicopters useless. I for one shoot down whatever gets within range.

I was just flying around in a basic heli checking out the map and first person. Some rear end in a top hat shoots me down. Those hand held ones are lame.

I also put in a ticket for my Roosevelt. I've read they don't replace the car, they just give you money for it. I'd rather have the car back as you can't buy it anymore.

Edit: Is there an IRC channel? #gta5goons is dead. Also, is there a password for the mumble server listed earlier? Wouldn't let me on.

In Director Mode, yes. But you can't wield weapons or drive, IIRC. Turn on low gravity and super jump to get your proper lunar experience.

Just jumped into a session with a couple of goons running fuckers over, went to get my good running fuckers over car from the garage and CTD'd on the way to the slaughter.

I purchased GTA5 PC from GMG before it released without realizing that it wasn't a steam key and now I want the Steam version.

If anyone is looking for GTA 5 I'd be willing sell them my RockStar Social Club account with the GTA 5 license attached for $46 (GMG sale price). Looks like Social Club accounts are fully transferable because you can edit every single account detail (including username/Email address) to transfer it to someone else.

I can't use PMs on SA so I guess reply here if you might be interested.

There's no real point to getting it on steam. Just link it as a non-steam game and you get access to all the steam functionality.

Do I have to de-couple it from Xbone and if so, how do I do that. Google only shows that people are having connection problems. Not how to purposely remove a controller from xbone's grasp.

I haven't used windows in 8 years and I still can't believe that they haven't caught up on plug-n-play.

It's wired. I'm talking to Xbox support. Bsically had to unplug my xbox and put the controller into a different USB port. I guess two of them are DOA.

I just finally managed to get the PC content creator working, made a quick race that focuses on the park area in downtown LS. If people could give it a try and tell me how it plays that'd be great, it's set for 18 players max, anymore and it'd be a huge clusterfuck. There's a couple parts where you have to slide down narrow alleyways and even race against racers that can be coming from the opposite direction.

Downtown Burnout. let me know how it plays, I don't expect anything amazing, but I just wanted to tool around with it and try make a standard race before I go being evil with it.
