I'll have you know I worked my fingers to the bone to get where I am today.
gently caress, I actually went and got this game for PS4. But I'm working mornings at the moment, so there's no chance I'll be able to piss around with you guys and crash into myself until 5am GMT like I used to. If something actually happens at a reasonable time, then hell yeah.

I'm guessing it's not likely that me (Versocrity), Thrax, User and C0updeville will be able to get together at the same time again to finish 'all in order' and 'loyalty'? Getting the same 4 people back together by chance is nearly impossible, I've had this experience with arranged teams in starcraft 2. Teams of 3 occasionally get back together, but add in a 4th and suddenly the chances drop to about 0%. Won't happen unless we pick a time. I've been holding off on doing heists for a few days so it would be good to know either way.

i am sad about this :sigh:

And the last thing we need is more poo poo to buy. That's all the last couple updates have been. We need more missions and heists and game modes and other things to do, which it appears this update is rectifying, at least a little bit.

This kind of stuff is what I want more than new heists. Freeroam nonsense and little scripted games like king of the hill that Rockstar can make in a couple months are much better than huge, bloated (the amount of resources and time needed just to do cutscenes that everyone wants to skip as fast as possible is hilarious) quasi-cinematic missions that take years to make.

The update is now out for the XB1. It clocked in at 700mb in size. There is a new tab in the menu for the Rockstar Editor, but of course I can't test it because online is unavailable because of this update.

Edit: PS4 update is now ready.

Edit 2: I was able to get online, and I jumped right away into one of the new game modes. This is a 30 minute game.



I managed to make it to the 24 minute mark before one of the other players blew up my Karuma. I was able to walk away from that, but then he parked a jet on top of me and I couldn't move.

The first couple of heists I did as a crew member, I didn't even get to see the cutscenes because the leader skipped them, and it didn't suffer at all due to the voiceovers during the missions. I'd happily take heists with no cutscenes.

Anyway, hopefully I can jump on tonight and try the new content on PC.

These new events are pretty cool, easy to jump into and play but I wish they would show up more frequently. Also, the game seems to start "Recording" at times and I have no idea why. Like I was just loving around with a Cargobob and suddenly I got this notification about the game recording and a red filling circle, and I don't know what that does.

I thought I read somewhere they take place every 12 minutes, is it less frequently than that?

And if the event is across the map from you, do they give you time to get there?

Tonight will we be in a private session on PS4 or will we try the events in a public lobby? That latter might be fun long as there aren't too many of us.

I got three different recording notifications, all of which happened one after the other as I was getting into and mucking around stealing peoples' cars with the Cargobob. They all said they saved but I have no idea where, and it made me think that it was some kind of new Rockstar anti-cheat detection where they just randomly spy on people to keep them honest?

The game gives you quite a bit of warning that a new challenge is incoming. I was chilling out in the apartment reading the patch notes and I got a notification saying a challenge was about to begin and I could hit left to immediately leave my home to go outside and join it. Did that, couple minutes later the challenge popped up, and I had about 3 minutes to go get a bike for the "Stoppie Challenge". I did the Moving Target one which was pretty cool, but had to stop playing just before the Teen Wolf one.

That is weird....and only two years too late. On the consoles cheating doesn't seem to be an issue anymore. And since they've essentially abandoned the last gen consoles, why would they even care if you cheat there?

I am super excited to jump on tonight, this sounds fun.

There's some kind of new recording feature if you hold down on the d-pad and press X or Square, maybe you triggered it on accident somehow.

I'm not terribly enthused about new Heists, but to be fair I haven't actually done them all. I did the first two, they seemed like missions from the Singleplayer game except now instead of NPCs they are populated with people who have done the mission you are on 10,000 times and are looking for the most optimal way to do it in order to grind cash. I guess I never really gave them a fair shake.

I haven't touched the new ones yet but freeroam activities have always been badly implemented so far.
If you steal a Simeon car, it automatically gives you a wanted level. If you pass through the purple circle for the distract the cops thing, it gives you an even bigger wanted level. If you go to one of the smaller airports to get a plane, it might put you in a gang attack automatically, and you'll probably get shot before can take off in the plane/helicopter.

Speaking of gang attacks, I think Rockstar might have circumvented that. When I was fiddling around with the Stoppie Challenge, I ran into one of those red circles on the map (I had disabled all the icons for everything except bare essentials) and I hung around in there for a minute thinking it was another event before I remembered what gang attacks were. There wasn't anyone in the circle. I do know that police can get involved though, when I was doing Moving Target by the end the target was being chased by four cars, a couple bikes, an Annihilator chopper, and a swarm of cops making for a really huge clusterfuck.
