Oh man look what I just came across. This is the theme song for the biker gang Hell's Rebels on the goon-run GTA: San Andreas SZR roleplay server. If I remember correctly the guy who made it had the in-game name Jim_Kickass but I can't remember what his SA username was.

Hell's Rebels Theme Song

This reminds me of the driveby katana attacks you could do on bikes in Saints Row 2 and now I'm hoping that Yakuza gangs on sports bikes are an option and it's not just inferior gaijin Sons Of Anarchy type gangs.

Not really. Although Rockstar has never affectively patched out any of the old hacks, they have implemented a pretty good detection system. They ban the hacker and strip the cash from the recipient of his largess pretty effectively.

Other hacks are still around, there appears to have been a working menu .exe that dropped about a week ago. The days of easy money are likely over though. OTOH there are better legit routes now with VIP & CEO work.

Well that's somewhat good news, at least. Thanks. I'm sure the Biker update will see some influx of a few greedy pubbies who want their new bikes quick, then it'll thin out over time. Still have to give the CEO stuff a try, hopefully that'll be a good moneymaker.

And I have the money for this poo poo - I can't even begin to guess how people newer than us who don't want to buy shark cards feel. Hopefully they see that 99% of this poo poo is useless but :shrug:

I literally just started playing GTA Online a couple of days ago and I'm a bit overwhelmed about how expensive everything is, but not so expensive I think it's impossible for me to earn the cash needed to buy stuff just by playing the game. Course, as I play the game I'm finding it more and more tempting to just buy a shark card because I've tried playing 20 different mission to earn some money but all have ended in failure because random pubbies keep dying in the dumbest way or drop out halfway through a mission.

Heisting with Goons is the best way to make money quickly. On any given weekend, you can probably find 3 other goons willing to slog through a heist or two with you to get some moolah.

That said, inflation has hit GTA real bad in the last couple years... Everything cool is waaaay overpriced so they can get people who don't wanna play to get their sweet swag to buy shart cards.

I'll be honest with you, I've never bought a shark card but when they're on sale they're not the worst possible deal. That being said, I don't mind doing nearly pro-bono heists if you're on pc?

Yes, it's annoying. I run the psn app for messaging instead; the downside of that is leaving notifications on when I'm done playing and I hear everybody having fun when I'm at work sometimes

They're not too specific but it sounds like: New bikes, new properties, new apparel (clothing, cuts, tattoos, etc) and most curiously, motorcycle clubs where the members have ranks. There will be a new mechanic, as well, to customize your choppers.

Sounds great! I can't wait to see the first million dollar motorcycle.

I also started a Discord for GTA goons. I'm new to discord but it seems that the added chat component also kind of acts like forums? Seems like it might be a good way to keep this, as dryer lint put it, lame gay gaming community together. It's not like we play GTA for its thrilling design and tight balance. We obviously enjoy kooky game types so this should facilitate finding and organizing around those in various games.

https://discord.gg/e9t9y4G

There's a thread for events, there's one for kicking it, there's one for gaming chat. It's essentially our mumble, but with persistent messages that won't get drowned out by connection status updates.

For those still new to discord (I used it yesterday for the first time ever) it's essentially mumble plus irc. Download here https://discordapp.com/ You can also use the web interface if you're lazy. I don't know if there are any other handy power tools in this but it will improve with people. Should make things simpler for those already using discord with other communities. I figure at some point there will be a critical mass of people and we'll just exodus to discord at some point in the future. Or we won't! Whatever.

I'll see if geeves can put this in the op.

I'll quote this because I missed the post and wound up in an empty GTA Mumble chat. Hopefully others won't make that same mistake!

When I'm doing races/stunt series, I see most people are playing with keyboard and mouse, but I just use a gamepad since it makes driving so much easier and I've been too lazy to switch between the two.

When it shows what they're using on the menu, that can just be showing the last thing they used to input so it's not going to be accurate. Ever since GTA3 I've always had a controller of some type hooked to my pc which I pick up every time I get into a car, then set down and go back to mouse+kb for walking around and shooting stuff. Unless of course I'm just getting out of a vehicle to pick something up or walk over to another vehicle. It truly is the best of both worlds.

Also gently caress discord but I guess I'll have to make the switch.

Fortunately for you most of the poo poo is worthless. A Karuma, buzzard, a few weapons are all that you really need to fully play this game. A few other vehicles to suit your tastes and 1-2 mill for ammo money. Run heists and missions and poo poo with Goons, pubbies are cancer. Get in the discord server linked a few pages back.

a 360 pad is prolly the easiest for computer gaming(it's basically plug and play) but the PS4 controller is great and DS4WINDOWS is a good program that is easy to set up and has 360 pad emulation for PC games that are hardcoded with 360 support :eng101:

Still recommending the Steam controller because the aiming is superb once you've tweaked the trackpad and gyro to your liking (and got used to the slightly cramped action buttons), although moving the mouse/trackpad while hitting certain controller buttons causes some weird bugs where it keeps activating action replay or record as though I'm pressing F1/F2, despite having neither of those mapped to the controller. It's not that big a deal, but it's really bizarre and I don't have anything like that kind of bug in any other game I use the controller with.
