A great ride that requires finesse and effort to get the best out of it.

If I've got GTAV on Xbox 360 and then upgraded to PS4 and transferred my character, is it then possible to transfer (either the 360 or the PS4 character) to PC?

Afaik no, you can't transfer characters multiple times but I could be wrong. Rockstar does have something about this on their support page.

Aha! This is really useful, thanks!

According to the R* page I can only transfer from Xbox 360 once... but there's an even better option. I _can_ transfer my PS4 character to PC and keep playing on both (with separate progress, obvs). That's actually better than transferring my Xbox 360 character since I can keep all the progress I've made on PS4. Just need to pick up GTAV and transfer before March 6!

It wasn't the first DLC and it was indeed v good and an improvement over IV.

You've got to know the rules before you can break 'em. Otherwise, it's no fun.


Psion posted:

e: More seriously, it's been years but I seeeeeeeeeeeeem to remember Rockstar being pretty disappointed in the attach rate for GTA IV's DLC so I imagine they're quite shy about trying it again with V, even though - hopefully - they'd learn the right lessons and make something like BOGT instead of the dreadful TLAD and probably do better on the attach rate.

Because they launched the DLC as an xbox exclusive for a year. By the time it came out for PS interest in the game had cooled considerably unlike what V is now.

6 months for BOGT, the only one that matters. ;)

Remember though, Microsoft put up fifty million on these things to pay for development and - again, assuming I remember right - Rockstar was still unhappy with their ROI. Do I think they could do better with GTAV, absolutely, but has their DLC strategy for the last 3 years been anything other than low-risk, no. If they hadn't committed to heists prior to launch I don't think they ever would have made them, considering how they stand out against every other content pack for GTAV.

so you take that together with them making money hand over fist as-is and that's why I don't think they're going to make any for V. I'd be happy to be wrong but :shrug:

Anyone encounter a situation where you keep getting spawned out of your car while driving? It happened to me several times and the last time it happened another player spawned into my car and drove off. I'm guessing this is a thing hackers do now?

In beginner's news, I stole me an F620 and got it trackered and insured. And then painted it brown.

And then I lost a LTS and a stunt race in successive order. Seriously, gently caress the windmill track.

Yeah, I swap between gamepad when driving am M+KB for on foot or shooting in vehicles and it works fine.

It's just when you try to use them at the same time it goes weird. Trying to move with the gamepad while aiming and shooting with the mouse causes you to randomly drop your gun or start recording replays :downs:

Okay cool because- and I'm sure you can agree to this- you simply cannot race without an analog throttle. Like... you just can't.

a custom BF400 is actually the best vehicle for that race but I think we were all doing Raid/Trophy to make it more interesting. Anyway, sometimes you don't go right - sometimes the left is the way to go. It's about judging the turbine blades. And sometimes just getting wrecked and poo poo happens :shrug:

If you choose a bike on the only stunt race with the Trophy Truck when there's a half dozen other bike-only stunt races, well, I won't feel the least bit sorry when this happens:
