I'm interested in seeing what they've learned from CEO and MC in their continuing quest to never improve an existing feature but always add new ones, but I'll have to see a lot more details before I throw in on yet another business scheme in freeroam.

Worse than none of them being as profitable as PAC, they're all carefully mathed out to barely be profitable, like the design some poo poo and then the shark card department comes in and cuts all the payouts in half.

The trend seems to be: R* updates the game (CEO update, MC update, etc) & implements some anti cheat to break or better detect menus or whatever. About a month or 2 later modders start showing up.

Usually when I see a modder in lobby acting stupid I just find a new lobby & move on with it. They have been a little more frequent the past week or two, but I haven't seen anything really stupid (exploding lobby) in a long time. Modders can still crash your game though so :shrug:

Googling a modding forum tells me about all they have done is detect mod menus (then they make new ones), block generating magic money in your own account bigger than 100k a pop and limit spawned money bags to 2k (spawning money was detected but they found a different method). So about the only thing that has changed is hackers can't drop a trillion dollars. Impressive anti cheat for a year and a half after release!

I find the black market that has popped up around grand theft auto to give me quite the chuckle.

The game is called grand theft auto, except you can't steal cars you have to buy them, so people have started coming up with all sorts of ways to "steal" the cars from the game so now stealing cars in grand theft auto gets you banned.

Can you use throwaway accounts, or is the game key tied to one user account only?

One of the people I gently caress around with most weeks uses a mod menu to spawn stuff in, but only in private game modes so we can lob cargo planes around or have railgun deathmatches. I mean, most of the time. Sometimes it's nice to involve other players:

Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea what to do next. Last time I played was pre-heists, like 4th of July update back on 360. Any advice for how to try and get back into things?

I think I'm in love with the Hakuchou Drag. The wheel spin is negated with a quick half-step on the gas before you floor it, it doesn't squirrel around like the Shotaro and if you just tap the brake before a bend it corners hard and powers through nicely. There's something really satisfyingly solid about the way it feels.

I saw "Ziploc" and was like what do you mean PS4 player, I've been playing with you forever. Took me a second to realize that was Gran Turismo 5 on PS3, not GTA5 on PC. I promise our races on PC don't have any more (or less) intentional sabotaging than our super serious GTCC races did. *wink*

Aside from the ten thousand different game modes that keep splitting the dwindling player base with each update, it's simply mindboggling that Rockstar refuse to fix the weird and stupid bugs in this multi-billion-dollar game.

Does anyone else have an issue where guests get ejected from a vehicle when an activity starts? One of my friends will have everyone in his helicopter, start something like Headhunter, and suddenly we're all falling to our deaths.

Yeah that happens when you start headhunter with people in your vehicle. I get that too. They just bail automatically when your car/helicopter slows down enough.

Yes, without fail. Or with plenty of fail, as it were.
