I read somewhere it takes about 2 hours, but possibly as few as 1.5 if you're really on top of things

The good news is that I figured out I can hurry up the cashier while robbing a store by blowing on the mic instead of yelling. The bad news is that it annoys the hell out of everyone else.

Is there a setting that'll allow me to do this without bothering the other players?

Overheard in freeroam voice chat:

Who needs money? I know it sounds weird, but just send me a friend request and I'll make a private lobby to explain. Yeah, it sounds weird that I need your account details, but you just have to trust me. It'll be worth it.

People do the weirdest stuff in this game and I'm even weirder because I can't stop watching

Goddamn, why does turbo have to be so expensive? I just bankrupted myself buying that poo poo.

Does turbo completely eliminate the need for the engine upgrades or are the performance stat bars useless? Turbo on its own seems to max it out for the Sandking.

OK gentle goons, I need some suggestions on which vehicles I should purchase from here. Looking for fun times/comdey/useful, not really a big supercar fan.

The Sandking XL is awesome. It can drive straight over many barriers that other vehicles get stuck on and seats four, too. You can steal and claim them for yourself, which ought to save you a bunch of money.

It's been a good couple weeks in GTA Online, too bad Rockstar is never gonna fix the hacks and it's going to spiral into a totally unplayable mess

Do the suspension upgrades do anything besides lower the car? I'm not interested in reducing the ground clearance on my Sandking at all, but some extra cornering ability could be nice.

Does stealth work against other players, I have it maxed but it still seems I am on everyone's radar.

It does in deathmatch, but not freeroam. You can tell if you're visible in deathmatch by looking at the minimap to see if your arrow is outlined in red.

Just how much does it take to get put into "bad sport" mode? I get a crash at least once a day at the end of a job just before the scoring screen. When I log back in, I get a "bad sport" warning message but nothing's happened yet.

So, uh, this thread is kind of turning me off of getting the game for its multiplayer.
It sounds like a hot unplayable mess and I've got so many hours logged in SA-MP and Vice City MP, if I could deal with those GTA5 should be no problem aside from its apparent UI issues right?

You'll notice problems but GTA Online is actually tons of fun overall

What I have trouble comprehending is that out there in the real world there are thousands of people shouting "human being" into a microphone like it's a perfectly normal thing to do. I can't decide if that's weirder when they're completely alone or within earshot of other people! Many of these don't even have child or teenager sounding voices.

Y'all don't give enough respect to the most noble of weapons: the Musket.

I love killing people with the musket.

Is it possible for PC users to get these weapons or do we just miss out on the fun for only having the best platform?

My best rando heist story was raiding the yacht for Series A. Everything went fine besides one death until we went to escape the cops on the jetskis. One of the randos jumped in the water and couldn't figure out how to surface, so he just swam in circles while everyone yelled at him until he drowned and we failed.

I once got knocked off my jetski by a police boat and died trying to find my way to the tunnel

Why do so many people suck at flying? It seems preposterously easy to takeoff and land planes and helicopters in this game.
