What's to nerf? With bounties, it only costs 1k to blow up someone's car. Someone is driving a Kuruma you hate so much, so you set a bounty on them which costs 2k, then you blow them up which returns 1k to you. You do this a few times and then go into passive mode and taunt them.

Hey now I'd never compare GTA V to MWO, that's just loving awful

But yeah a quick google search seems to reveal that people have been saying what I am since the game came out, so I am pretty sure this thread is just a bunch of people that are scared someone'll take their supercar away and not actually wanting the game to have a little more longevity. Oh well it's all moot since everyone just cheats anyway.

I honestly doubt anyone here is scared that we'll lose our Armored Kurumas, since most of us don't obsess over the car like the people who seem to despise and hate it because IT'S THE WORST THING EVER OMG.

The only time I ever drive my Kuruma is if I'm going to do a mission because it makes the mission easier (do people really enjoy doing the same poo poo over and over again while hiding behind cover?) or if I'm loving around with other goons. Plus it looks like Leonardo from Ninja Turtles. Mostly I just drive around in my 300sl analog because it looks awesome and has the best exhaust in the game.

On PS3 (best platform) if I am in passive and I get in or on a vehicle, I am no longer passive. What the hell cock*?

Unless things have changed recently, all you have to do to avoid paying insurance on a car you popped is to bank all your cash because it only makes you pay out of cash-on-hand.

If you kill me and I wasn't doing anything to you then I will respawn in passive b/c I didn't want to be killed. Shocking I'm sure

Also god mode implies that you are invincible and can fly and can kill people with one hit and probably they explode. Passive is not a god mode, in fact it is kind of lovely

Passive mode is annoying in that it makes everyone else transparent and I can't do the unarmed flip off when in cars. So it's completely balanced.

Hahaha yep.

I used to care about the armored karuma. Then I drove other cars and decided I didn't care after all. They make boring missions faster but they're worse for rampages than a big rig, which lets you throw explosives out the window, while still protecting you from most poo poo (press x to become nigh immune to small arms).

So, I hate to change the topic and all because I love watching people argue, but does anyone have a recommendation for a Bluray/Netflix remote for the PS4? My better half is laid up with an injury and the battery life on the controllers are so horrid he can't use them to play games and control the media apps.

Have you tried enabling HDMI-CEC on your PS4 and using your tv's remote? It works on my tv to navigate through the PS4's menus. It also has the bonus feature of turning on the tv and setting the correct input when I turn on the console.

Edit: It's called HDMI Device Link on the PS4.

It can also provoke trolls too sadly, like guys that keep driving through you, honking their horns and maybe shooting or knocking around my car or getting out their cars and using one of the crass movements.as the follow me about. And of course there's the ever popular attacking checks to close the shops or blocking the doors with vehicles.

This seems to happen most to my female character so that may also be a factor.

seriously though they should have just put animals in and passive mode spawns you as something docile like a ccow or a whale but you can still be killed because gently caress you.

it's me, I'm the guy with the heavy sniper camped out on the building sniping you as you try to get into Suburban, and then RPG-ing you from downtown. Also the kuruma is a pretty weak trollmobile since you can't throw explosives from it, so if you're in your car and getting iced by a dude in one of those, practice evasive driving. The Insurgent driver is also pretty easy to shoot out from ground level too. Still, paying for them sucks balls :shrug:

To be honest, I'm never so busy in freeroam that I won't take the time to throw down on people who start poo poo with me. I will concede that setting a bounty on someone isn't easy to do in the heat of the moment. Basically:

Definitely does not work for all TVs. My LG 32lk450 is about 4 years old and has "Simplink", which apparently supports cable boxes and VCRs (wtf) but not PS4.

People who are saying what you are saying are also loving idiots because so far you said that kurumas cost 30k to blow up, passive overrides bounties, and you have to pay insurance on bounties. You don't know what you're talking about stfu.
