I dunno, Flecca is a joke, Prison Break doesn't really require significant coordination, neither does Humane Raid.

Maybe Pacific Standard would be easier with voice chat but as long as people liberally use explosives it's pretty easy.

I haven't done Series A yet so I can't really speak about that one.

alright, I'll be honest, every time I've done voice chat in games with goons it's nothing but the most obnoxiously hardcore perfectionists and it's not fun to play

Happened in Guild Wars, happens in Diablo 3 and I'm sure I'll happen in GTAO.

I will admit that goons can be loving obnoxious on voice chat in many other games, especially when it comes to coordinated efforts like taking over a game like H1Z1 or Rust. However this isn't really one of them. Give it a shot.

if you're talking about in-game voice chat, I still maintain there is literally zero reason to ever have that on unless you happen to miraculously get teamed for a heist with 3 pubbies who a)are using voice chat and b)aren't loving terrible.

That hasn't happened to me yet.

See, that's fine. If you're a walking sperg database, I don't mind. Hell, more power to you. But when you want to try to force me to be a walking sperg database too, that's where I draw the line.

This isn't an MMO, this is GTAO. You just load into the game and gently caress around. The stats of the weapons are shown by bars, it's not like there's exact numbers to base off. As long as you aren't loving up the mission, no one's going to sperg at you.

I've had an Xbox One since it launched so it just made sense for me to buy it on that rather than to buy a dedicated GTA machine. I'm going to be getting it on Steam in a few weeks anyway so I should be able heist easily on there, if there's a good deal going I may in fact buy a Playstation 4 as well because I would like to play Uncharted 4.

I wish I could more reliably go over railing and barriers while bringing my bike with me. Stuff like those short on/off ramp barriers are no problem, but I've yet to ever clear those flared concrete center dividers on the highway, and I've had mixed results with other types. Bikes are already prone to really screwing me due to the ability for any civ to change lanes and ruin my day, I'd at least like to consistently be able to say "lol, cya" to anyone pursuing me by just disappearing over some guard rail.

pull back and do a wheelie right before hitting them, you're more likely to go up in the air instead of off of the bike that way

Fuck you say?
For the best result you'll want to wheelie so your bike's front wheel is level with the very top of the wall you want to ramp over. This makes it so your bike effectively creates its own slope to drive up: Learning this trick made things a lot easier for me.

Bikes with high ride heights and fast wheelie speeds have an easier job of hopping up walls.

The Sanchez is by far the easiest, capable of hopping and scaling over nearly any wall regardless of how you hit it, provided you wheelie as hard as you can. Its stunting potential is hampered by its limited top speed, even with engine upgrades. Amazing for wallriding and easily controlled jumps.

The Ruffian is my stunt bike of choice. It's very fast, can wheelie at any speed, and its small size and high ride height gives you a lot of leeway so you don't need to be precise when you hit your wall. Get used to stunting with the Sanchez and I highly recommend you purchase one of these, you can start doing some awesome long distance manuvers.

The Hakouchou is the advanced stunt bike and the best one by far, but you need practice to make it work. Due to its sheer length, you need to always make sure you can wheelie accurately and land the front tyre onto the obstacle you want to mount, otherwise it'll hit the underside of the bike and you'll eat poo poo (usually at a billion miles an hour). Its sheer speed, combined with the fastest in-air spin and flip speed, makes this an incredible stunt bike, but you'll need to really practise to get the consistency you want out of it.

I think this is what I've been missing, which popping a wheelie later like proteus suggested has kind of helped with. I assumed I just needed my wheel in the air, so I've been doing the wheelie as soon as I've identified the target and reached a patch of level ground basically, which has often resulted in me climbing too high I guess and hooking the bottom of my ruffian.

Recorded a short practice run and already the results are better. Edited out dead space and me eating it a couple times due to unrelated things like leaning into street lights. ( :downs: )
