Nope and it's doubly aggravating when you're doing your daily missions and it's something like a capture: contend because you can't queue for just the type you need it's any capture, or any death match when you need a vehicle death match. At least races let you just do them solo unless it's a rally.

Yarbwargle UI stuff like this cheeses me off like nothing else in games. :(

Mostly though I think it'll be irrelevant for me. Reason I'm even here is my brother's dragging me back in to do freeroam stuff with him, apparently you can be a CEO and make drugs and warehouse-sale cars and have a sick group office or something? I haven't kept up with any updates since Heists were added, basically.

Also I note there are Tron bikes in the game and I want one but I have like $100k to my name so now I'm sad because I don't know how to make money. :(

feels like I've made this post before.

all the CEO stuff you're talking about exists but if you're brand new to CEO, there is an initial outlay of millions (as in, 2.5 minimum) before you can even start to make money, much less see any net return. It's not the ideal way to make money for an infrequent player (or even most regular players)

Have you done the heists yet? If not, doing all the heists in order with the same 4 people will net you a one time bonus of $2mil, plus whatever you make from the heists themselves. It's the quickest way to make that much money in GTA Online if your group knows what they're doing.

Apparently he's already done the initial outlay part, he just wants more buddies in game with him besides his circle of friends. Figured I might as well see what's what.

My only problem with doing goon heists for cash is I've only done one or two of em and barely know what I'm doing, plus I don't like using KBM in this game so my aim is controller garbage :v: But I'll check on that if I'm still playing when my brother is done.

The Great Twist
Rockstar knows cheaters that exploit the game are costing them money, right? How the hell are they so prevalent? How does this poo poo last for years?

Some rear end in a top hat spawns a bunch of poo poo on me and explodes me around not letting me control my character for 5 straight minutes. I switch sessions. All this poo poo he spawned on me persists through sessions. What the gently caress is that poo poo? No matter how many times I switch sessions it's still there. And it's the big poo poo that you can't destroy.



Got this junk all around the military base and Eclipse building right now. This kind of garbage really ruins the game for me.

Finally got my first top end import. Finally caught up to the police chase near Paleto Bay, where NPC thief conveniently took a hard right into a ditch where there was no possible way to get the car out.

Called in a Buzzard to try and go get a Cargobob, Buzzard wound up too damaged to clear the mountain. Forget it.

Pursuit thefts are the worst, I usually end up with like 5k damage before I can get the car because they just don't stop ever, even if you run them into something they don't pause before reversing.

From bikers, if you want to do the gang stuff decide weather you want to start in the city and end in Blaine county or the reverse and buy your clubhouse and businesses accordingly, I think weed and cocaine are the two that have the best return. CEO wise, the vehicle warehouses are all basically the same apart from price and location, that has the upside that buying the cheap one doesn't make you lose out on anything, but because of that it's more likely to have people staking it out to destroy or steal vehicles.

I tried and it didn't work. The only time I could pop him is after he put it in the ditch and I did it to make sure he wouldn't be able to get away. Little did I know there was no way of getting a car out.

Snow didnt seem to stick on the funnel but the slippy was there, plus burnouts would kick up snow, plus you can pick up snowballs and throw them from the car

I'm not, I probably should have clarified that, even with the AI after me, I can manage most other thefts in around 2k damage or less.

If you're going to be stealing supplies instead of buying them, don't buy the one in Paleto bay. You're just going to drive the entire length of the map twice in 99.9% of cases instead of driving across town for in-city businesses.

Does anyone else still have snow in their game? I've been playing a lot the past few night and apparently I'm the only one that still has it.

It probably doesn't matter now since the snow's back anyway, but on PS4, at least, I think the snow stays until you close the game. My brother had snow a couple of days after it was gone because he'd just been going into rest mode when he was done. Closing the application and restarting it changed it back.

Mentally retardation is such a strong word.
Even worse, since I can't stand driving with mouse and keyboard, when I have to both drive and shoot, I end up using the controller single-handedly and using the mouse to aim.

You need to go to the clubhouse to start jobs so if you want to drive out to paleto bay every time, and then back to the city to actually reach the job, buy one out there :shepspends:

I would suggest getting one in, or proximal to, the city.

Why switch, use both and ignore the keyboard altogether.

If your hands are a reasonable size, you can hold the controller by the side with a thumb on the left stick, index finger on the left trigger and middle finger on the right trigger and drive with the controller while shootin dudes with the mouse.

Really can't stress enough that the Steam controller is a great option for GTA. Just play with the sensitivity on the right touchpad and the gyro (I use the touchpad for quick looking and the gyro for finer aiming) and you're good to go. Not quite as good as mouse but leagues ahead of analogue aiming.

Plus you can map useful functions, like I have autofire when I double tap and hold the A button for quick sprinting and respawning (and BMXing of course), and X on press/A on hold for the right paddle so I can jog and roll while aiming on foot where I would normally have to take my finger off the right stick to hit either button on an Xbox controller.

I still type with keyboard because no on-screen keyboard is going to make typing with a controller less of a chore regardless of what they do with it, but you can't have everything I guess.
