I'll be around but I am grinding hell of cash for Tuesday's update. Let me know if you want to do that with me. We can still gently caress around but just the tip because I need those dollars.

I did a search for the group through "Friends Groups", and instead of letting me join, there was a different option that allowed me to request membership. I still have to go through hoops to get to the group page, as it doesn't show on my communities list, but now I can see and post which wouldn't work before.

It'll probably be later on since Amy Schumer's special is on tonight, but hopefully I can actually join you guys this time instead of you being forced into an empty lobby with me.

EDIT: Actually I'll hop on now and gently caress around for a half-hour before the special drops.

You might actually have to steal cars in GTA if that were the case.

It would be interesting to see a freemode where most people roamed around on foot, rallying against pricks in gassed up cars.

That was such fun. Thanks for putting up with my cardboard character dying from strong gusts of wind. It was such a massive difference running heists with goons, if only because of the outfits.

To be fair, everyone's character is made of cardboard. The higher level ones are slightly sturdier. Once again I'm not sure why R* decided to give the enemy NPCs the accuracy and damage of Tier 1 Operators.

It's because the game is a cover shooter. When you have cover mechanics it sort of eliminates the need for you to actually think about your combat mechanics as a developer, you just go "well the player can always play a less fun way and win so gently caress making our AI actually interesting."

I haven't played the game in months, and some time ago I noticed they added more poo poo to do in Free Play mode. Are those events any fun, and are they good sources of RP/GTA$? I don't want to waste a shitload of bandwidth reinstalling only to find hot garbage.

And I'm sorry to bail on everyone last night when we were having such a good time. We had an emergency. I'll probably be around later tonight, though.

Just like everything else they are fun to play with friends / goons and a total crap shoot with pubbies. Many of them are simple and don't pay all that well. Some examples of the kinds of events / challenges I've done are:

Open parachute closest to the ground and survive
Player kills / player headshot kills
Scramble for a vehicle / bicycle
King of the mountain
Longest motorcycle stoppie

They are more "diversion while waiting for heist invites" than "reason to play GTAO". The new adversary games are pretty good though, those seem to mostly be LTS-type competitions where you try to stop a runner from escaping.

It might be worth checking out while we wait for Tuesday's lowrider update which introduces new cars, hydraulics for those cars, some new customization options maybe, a 4th property slot, the usually array of new clothes and hairstyles, and a new set of Lamar contact missions.

I really hope we can buy and upgrade the lowriders right out of the gate. I really don't want to play any tedious heist style missions to unlock them because those are a crapshoot with pubbies. It's the reason I still haven't completed Series A or Pacific Standard. Any PC goons want to help me fix that later on?

Haven't been keeping up with the details that have been announced, but I have a feeling at least the missions will copy the heist format. Maybe you'll have to buy a special garage (a mod shop) and you'll initiate the missions from there.

If hydraulics are a thing in this, are there even buttons available on the console controller for that? Don't know how the 360 did it for San Andreas, but GTAO has a bit more to map on the controller. Maybe a button that'll toggle between aiming and hydraulics? (I don't use the controller for driving)

edit: this is assuming the "4th property" you'll be able to buy is directly tied to this, and not just a chance to have extra cars

All the buttons are taken even when in-vehicle. I believe they said they were just gonna use the interaction menu anyway.

They could use left stick up and down like they do for the bulldozers.

I was thinking just select it the same way you select weapons. Then while you're holding down the left bumper, use the right stick to raise/lower different sides and right bumper to switch between high and low, or double-tap it to hop.

I figure the action buttons as driver, so instead of flipping the bird or whatever you trigger the hydraulics

Yeah, according to the modder who found this stuff on the servers it appears to be for a Halloween update. The masks and the vehicles at least. The Tec-9, Machete, and Flashlight are all probably Lowriders update stuff.
