BitBasher posted:Cool. I have it on PC but the mouse feels... heavy, sluggish. It's like there is some mouse acceleration I can't find a setting to get rid of, and I have looked. I actually prefer the feel of it on a controller. My younger self would shoot my current self in the foot for saying that. I'm pretty sure it defaults to raw input for the mouse. But you can switch it to that if it's not. You might want to try fiddling with the sensitivity and whatnot to get it feeling good. edit: Not at home so I can't tell you where exactly but I'm pretty sure it's easy to find under settings.

Anyone else have the patch today just completely fail? It bluescreened my computer(a driver infinite loop'd), then it the patch install failed with no reason given and now the launcher just hangs. Ordinarily I'd just redownload the game but fuuuuuuck that.

Has anyone figured out a way to make the camera not auto-center when driving? That poo poo is the bane of my existence. I know there's a slider for it in options, but I'm not entirely sure what the gently caress it does. Sets the auto-center angle maybe?

I am sad to report that even at like, rank 32 I'm occasionally getting wrecked by even the AI. I'll be playing all carefully wrecking a bunch of AI until one of them decides to be king poo poo superstar and completely ruin my poo poo with a hyper accurate burst. It seems you're never not just a handful of bullets from being dead.

Is the coil worth getting? It seems like it's strong suit (acceleration) is pointless compared to top speed considering how many of the upgrades jack up acceleration. I want to get one eventually cause I kinda like the sound of it, but for now I'm prioritizing cars that are good and fast at getting from point A to B outside of races.

With that much RP, my guess is he must have done the heist achievements so that's a cool 10 mill + whatever 1 mills he picked up along the way from the other achievements. Don't know how you manage to hold onto your cash, though. I keep wasting mine on cars. More cars. And explosions.

socialsecurity posted:Honestly passives should be in their own sessions ruins the open world funtimes when half the dudes are intangible ghosts. I'd agree with you, except I've "killed" people while in passive mode because they're too dumb to realize I'm a ghost and try to rocket me. Also just rolling around following people and honking the horn. Whenever they stop, ghost your car into theirs. Also, bump other traffic into them. Passive mode is great in it's own right.

How are you people running into so many cheaters? I run into maybe one or two a day at most. All you have to do is recognize "Oh yeah, that's a cheater" and leave. Go do some missions or something. Odds are it'll rotate you out of whatever instance he was in pretty quickly. There are definitely an unacceptable number of cheaters, but not nearly enough to turn me off of free roam.

How is being "forced" to play in passive mode preventing you from doing all that baby rear end poo poo you listed off? I guess the only thing it messes up is colliding with other players while trying to do *~sick bike stuntz~* but you can just go into an invite only instance for that if you wanted. True they could have probably put in some kind of system where you join standard GTA free for all murderfest instances or carebear sissy instances as a preference but R* didn't really think through this online thing very well. Also they probably didn't expect people playing an online GTA game to want to be a full-time pansy.

APB did a pretty good "passive" free roam system except people will still absolutely ruin your poo poo in the most creative ways possible. And it had even fewer alternative systems like private lobbies, etc etc. Seriously, everything you're asking for is already available, you're just apparently too much of a baby to use them for some reason. Don't want to be killed? Go into passive. Want full functionality without people killing you? Go into invite only. Not enough of a population in invite only? Invite your friends. Don't have enough friends? I wonder why.

Except I actually enjoy all aspects of the game, including the killing people. And even if it was GTA with nothing but running around killing people without missions and stuff, it would still be a different experience than a call of duty game considering how they, y'know look and play nothing alike. And this is all besides the point that, as I already said, you can do all the things he wanted. In multiple different ways no less. At this point he's complaining that people in a multiplayer game aren't all playing the way he wants. Given people will always find a way to troll and grief in even the most benign of games, it seems ridiculous to be confused and angry at people being assholes in a GTA game. Seriously, just play in an invite lobby. It has all the goodness of GTA online without those pesky other players kicking over your sandcastle. edit: Zaphod42 posted:Too bad APB sucks at everything else, like shooting, driving, or looking good. Yeah I wasn't touting APB as a superior game or anything. I played it, enjoyed it, stopped enjoying it and stopped playing it. I was just using it's free roam as an example of a similar game with a much more forgiving open world as far as getting randomly killed. But all it really did was make people kill you in increasingly nonsensical ways. RosaParksOfDip fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Apr 30, 2015 |

Yeah the initial join and hoping it places you with friends already in an instance is super annoying, but the sheer amount of times you get punted out of a loading screen back to single player, you'd think they'd have seen the extra join options by now. Hell, sometimes it takes 2-3 tries just to get into a session and I've got a relatively decent internet connection.

Play with friends/goons. Do your random stuff until someone invariably messes with you. At that point transform into a roving fucksquad that ruins their poo poo until they leave/you get bored. It's what I do when playing with friends and we're having a fistfight in the middle of the street. And once again, if it's something you really don't want people messing with, private lobbies. edit: The best was when we kept spawnkilling a dude until one of us could go get a cargobob, after which we boxed him in and the cargobob picked him up. To be fair, this was out in the middle of nowhere(near the vineyards I think?) and we gave him the opportunity to gently caress off or join the fisticuffs but he kept shooting us.

edit: nvm. Pointless post for the most part. The kuruma really is a garbage car unless you pre-ordered. Once you get going in the game/have some explosive weapons, it's a joke to deal with but before then, it's kind of a pain in the rear end. Fortunately if you pre-ordered, you start with enough money to buy your own AND a rocket launcher so it's a non-issue. RosaParksOfDip fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Apr 30, 2015 |

A c E posted:There wasn't. I recall it being brought up frequently and it's definitely stupid that you can't do it. Probably depends on how high and where you're flying. I've noticed people mostly don't bother rocketing planes if they're relatively high up or moving semi-quickly in a structurally dense area. But if you're flying low over a big, open area you better hope you're good at dodging or high enough to deploy your parachute. Unrelated note: I really loving wish this game had shoulder switch in third person.

So are all these hackers just getting temp or perma banned? I'm trying to figure out why it's so widespread. Normally in full-price games you see a lot fewer people willing to sink the full cost of the game via ban, especially since it's just some trainer or whatever they're downloading.

Yeah I'd kill for a hacker to dump money on me. There's so much poo poo I want to just gently caress around with, but the costs of doing so makes me balk every time. The only amusing hacker was one that just kept spawning on me and my buddies, regardless if we were flying in a helicopter or speeding down the highway. He was not invincible.

QwertyAsher posted:So as a stupid newbie, am I just being dumb or is it really stupid that the way you earn upgrades to your cars is to win races, in which you will be racing against people who already have the upgrades to their cars. Is it really a case of "keep losing repeatedly until you find a group of people who are completely incompetent"? Or am I just really loving bad at racing. Join one of the goon groups and or ask if anyone is willing to trade races with you. other than that, try and get races with custom cars disabled I guess. Your only other option is get really good at driving/hope everyone else is terrible.

It depends on why you're racing, though. if you're racing because you enjoy that aspect, it might be worth slogging it. But I wanted race wins for car dress-up barbies so I race traded that poo poo ASAP.
