So what's the fastest way to gain RP? I wasn't able to get in on the RP crazy early in the PS3 launch and I'm wondering how people have 200+ RP.

Jesus Christ.

As far as I'm aware, literally the only difference is that you can't use your banked money to bet on races, pay hookers, or make it rain at the strip club. I remember that before GTAO was released there was talk of losing all of your cash on hand when you died, but thankfully they didn't go through with that.

You are correct. Having cash on hand is just a pain.

Since when?! On PS4 it was the other way around. What a pain.

Edit: I just saw this was on PC. Still, what a pain. I haven't been on much lately but I plan on making my triumphant return next week maybe. I hope there are still some PS4 goons left. I may have to apply to a Reddit crew if no one is around. :v:

First run-in with a hacker on PC. looks like it's all over, guys.



he left before the countdown finished, and glitched around the track 5 times faster than everybody else. I would imagine if these tools are out there, cunts are gonna be using them to be a little less obvious, making themselves 5 or 10% faster than everybody else.


I don't get the point of cheating like that. Why not just change your money to a billion dollars. why bother "racing" at all?

Send it to rockstar. Hate to say that. Soon enough they'll be thrown into the cheaters pool or banned completely. If they bought through steam they'd be hosed when caught since there is a permanent link between accounts.

I think another goon and I ran into a god mode one earlier today. I unloaded a bunch of carbine rounds then 10 shot gun blasts including several headshots when I got close enough. They then took off and vanished.

They are all pretty bad for how long it took them to release. Consider the first Fleeca setup, its literally pointless. Its 3 separate point to point driving segments with no purpose. The first one you drive to bank so Lester can show you and iPad with a remote hack...could have done that anywhere. Then you drive back, so you can drive back to his apartment so you can drive back to yours.

They do on the older gen cracked 360 and ps3 consoles, but I have never experienced an instance of cheating at all on ps4.

The worst we get is game bug exploiting which is far preferable and pretty minor.

Heh the game locked up for me too, but when I restarted I had completed the mission.


What bugs me is the writing. I did the stealth Humane labs emp placement, and the coordinator NPC always goes, "it's a regulation Merriweather so it won't look suspicious... at least not until its too late." That's cool, but what about the 12 guards I left dead to get it in there? That's not suspicioius?

At the end of the police station set-up, we drove into the garage to return the documents, and the interior of the apartment didn't load. my character started falling inside the building, landed on the top of the garage, and died.

So it's kind of lame that you can't steal personal vehicles. I mean, we have that insurance thing. If I'm going around murdering people like a jackass, I should be able to take their cars too. Instead all I can do is blow them up. Then the game tells me I'm being a meanie and fines me for it. Yet there's no real punishment for murdering a guy over and over, literally taking all of his money.

I need to remember to record everything. Joined in on the setup to steal the bus for the prison break.

There were a couple of low levels 8 and 6 in my Karuma. We reach the overpass that the bus drives over and at full speed the level 6 just jumps out of the car for no reason.

You're not really taking much of anything. You drop like $500 when you die, assuming you are carrying a bunch of cash. If you don't have any cash on hand you don't lose anything (and you also don't pay insurance premiums)

I will never be able to understand / empathize with this. Between my glasses and general ability to only focus on what's in front of me, the game probably provides an equivalent or even better field of vision than I have irl.I don't have a problem playing the game entirely in 1st-person, the only time I use 3rd is for heisting because there are a ton of angles in the car that 3rd-person allows you to shoot from that 1st-person doesn't.

Before you leave a store bring up the main map from the menu and at the bottom it tells you the key to hit to go from the store map to the full city map. user that to look for ambushes, then go passive if you feel the need.

Really though they should have just blasted you to death while you were int he gun store.

Maybe something has changed in the last 2 weeks or it's different on PC or something. On PS3 / PS4 it is/was $500 max and only from cash on hand.
