That's a lot of value, it took me a while to get that stuff together back before the big sales. Bunker is EZ money #1 if you ask me, here's what I do:

- Optionally wait for a 2x $ week, you'll get almost $2mil for a full bunker. $1.8 I think with no bonus
- It's pretty possible to do full bunker missions by yourself. Start the mission, and it will give you sometimes 4 vehicles with 15 minutes and you are hosed, so just do find new session. Basically there are missions where it gives you only 3 drops (as opposed to 15, randomly), so there is time to do it yourself. The bunker doesn't lose much value when you do 'find new session' so you can do this like 10 times without losing too much.

Takes a long time to fill up though.

Also on the bunker always it's always better to buy research because you get more value from selling.

If you get the Phantom Wedges or Insurgents as sell vehicles, it's do-able solo but only if you have a Buzzard to zip back to your bunker. I have the Chumash bunker and did a solo LS sale with Insurgents. I managed to pull it off but if I didn't have the ability to request a CEO Buzzard I would have run out of time.

There's three different Insurgent sales (one you can only get with associates), and I doubt the 3-truck Merryweather one is solo-able.

The one where all 3 insurgents go to drop 1 and then fight off merryweather and then all go to drop 2 etc? Did it once solo and it took like 29:30 to do all the back n forth. Pre oppressor mkII so I had to keep summoning the ceo buzzard and then crash it so I could respawn it. It sucked

the moral of the story is to only sell the bunker solo when it's at ~140k in displayed value to get a solo sale

Back in the day, someone posted a sprawling narrative LP of GTA: San Andreas, and I remember being amazed at how the author even incorporated little things like the taxi/ambulance challenges into the story.

I wonder if anybody has tried to do something like that for GTA online.

Wow, daddy rockstar comes out with the biggest GTA news in over a month and there's nary a peep from the GTA online thread?

Color me surprised. Maybe GTA:O is finally becoming the dead dumb game we always joked that it was and I'm only playing now because the brainworms command me to. Actually that makes a lot of sense, but still I figured there would be goons going crazy about yet another game launcher on their computers.

GTAO's design pulled up the ladder to new recruits a long time ago, so the demise of it was always going to be one dude in a room wondering why nobody else is posting pictures of the new £3.5 million lol capitalism dildobike. Game is still only half-dead, but adding dead forum pushes it over into full dead.

Also re: launcher, the gamers rise up headlines come when they try to sell RDR2 exclusively through it, this is just tremors before the big one. I am blessed (old) enough to remember that Steam was absolute garbage for the first couple of years and sailed into a monopoly leveraging a big ticket release in the exact same way these other attempts shoot for, so don't really give a poo poo either way.

The new gen console announce was as far from dead as this game ever got, and considering it is now in its sixth year of release with just about every possible avenue for expansion covered, if you think they're going to do anything other than run out the clock on a cash cow they're financially incapable of putting down, best of luck to you, your fifteen penthouses and your magic flying dildobike.

This I definitely agree with, holy poo poo! I don't even want to think about how to explain to new players the 4(5?) different UI menus for interacting with the game, not to mention the massive amount of work a new player would have to accomplish to even get close to a level playing field with veteran players.

This part I have trouble with though. Daddy Rockstar's financials don't really jive with this assertion in my opinion. Goon hivemind not withstanding this game is still super popular and consistently ranks in player counts on various services that keep track of those numbers. Goons may have moved on but it's still a popular choice for the general population.

Ooh poo poo I didn't even think about this last night. I can't wait for Rockstar to sell RDR2 PC exclusively through their own store/launcher. It will be magnificent! :circlefap:

I too am over the fact that it's not possible anymore to have just one catalog/portal/library(or whatever you want to call it) of games to access but I was expecting(maybe hoping) for some broke brain goons to be seething at the fact of Rockstar's new launcher being introduced. Maybe the whole EGS shitstorm finally broke them and they've resigned themselves to the new era of balkanization with regards to game services on PC. (That being said I'm certainly not advocating for Steam having the Forever Monopoly on PC gaming and please don't take my comments as an endorsement of that idea.)

Is there a trick so far to launching GTA with 1 click? I've got it down to 2 clicks


1. Go to c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\GTAV (OR WHEREVER YOUR STEAM GAME FILES ARE LOCATED, IM NOT A PSYCHIC)

2. Right click on GTAVLauncher, Send To, Desktop(Create a shortcut)

3. Now have an icon on your desktop of the green GTA V logo, rename this if you want, copy it to start menu, task bar, whereever

4. To play the game, double click on this icon, it will bypass the "Launcher" screen and give you a R* Social Club error about Unable to Access R* servers. Activation... blah blah

5. Click on the RETRY button on that error screen. this opens the new "Launcher" screen as a lack window with the R* logo in the middle, and a few seconds later, the usual startup screen for GTA(glass break, door slam, siren)

6. Take a few moments to reflect on your life choices, smoke a bowl, start your laundry, play a game of solitaire

7. After the usual 3-4 minutes, you're in Los Santos ready to play

The only way I was able to actually get the game to launch was to have Steam closed, open the Rockstar Launcher using a desktop shortcut, then click "PLAY ON STEAM" in the launcher.

Having Steam opened prior to that makes Steam think I'm trying to run GTA twice, because it thinks the launcher is actually the game.
