In a heist it probably doesn't make a difference.Also, I tried hosting Prison Job with a few goons and it didn't go very well at all. I don't remember your names, but if you tried to hijack the bus ~10 times with an 9F Cabrio and a Sandking today, you were probably with me.

Whoever Korova_Studios and Evil Vin (I think?) are, excellent job making headway on Humane Labs. It's too bad our rotating fourth pubby was always either mentally retarded and drove the Insurgent full throttle into the facility, or taking a nap behind the wheel and forgot to follow us in. Oh, and after one of them quit and kicked us all out, I was booted offline and had a "Rockstar servers are busy, please play single-player and watch Franklin have the same 30-second argument with his girlfriend every time you get booted out again" message.  EDIT 2: Thanks to Greenlit and usersa for the help! Let's get the best-dressed stickup crew in Los Santos back together soon.

If you're fullscreen, alt-tabbing and then going back in should fix it, but if you're windowed/borderless windowed, switch it to something else.

Protip for whoever's flying the plane during prison heist: make sure the prisoner isn't directly underneath the stairs before you lower them. This public service announcement brought to you by wrathcough and usersa. Also I got booted back to single player right after the finale. I still got paid, but it meant I couldn't see the celebration cutscene afterwards, which is my favorite part of the heist. I just want to hang out and knock back a few imaginary beers with my fellow criminals

If anyone needs a heist crewmate who can clear rooms like a motherfucking champ, I recommend LLJK's kaosjester (hopefully you read this thread). The two of us must have attempted Series A Coke as the boat team half a dozen times, but every single one of them was stopped by the two retarded pubbies on the helicopter team. It came down to us telling them "YOU ARE LITERALLY MORE USEFUL IF YOU COME NOWHERE NEAR THE YACHT, STAY ON THE HELIPAD FOR AN EASY 20 GRAND" before one of them ragequit. So, uh, if anyone wants to help us with Series A, let me know.

Slim Killington posted:Just an FYI, the best way to do that mission is to fly to the beach and get picked up in the boat. gently caress the helicopter. Yeah, that's the conclusion I'm coming to too. Otherwise, the helicopter has to land on the boat with zero cover or fly around and try to shoot people on the deck, but the gunner has no cover there either and those dudes are crack shots.

When I'm scrolling through saved outfits before the start of a heist, every outfit will have the cat face on the front. This happens to me too, but with the Cerveza Barracho V-neck. Although honestly my biggest problem is that neckties don't show up in pre-heist cutscenes, so instead of looking fly as hell in my three-piece suit I look like some dweeb who buttons up his shirt all the way to the top.

FrancoFish posted:11 attempts on Prison Break finale has left a very bad taste in my mouth. Super long slog through heavily armored troops with very limited weaponry and ammo? Check. So much police presence as you flee to the airway that you die the second you get out of the swat van? check. Making you start over from the very beginning everytime the prisoner loving eats it because you were too slow recovering from a glitched fall off the ladder? Check. Series A Funding might be the worst overall heist, but Prison Break Finale is for sure the worst individual level. At least the prisoner and guard get to do something exciting for 10-15 minutes at a time before one of the dies; the demolitions and pilot jobs are boring as hell.

Don't stop to shoot the cops, pretend they don't exist. Also, keep an eye on your health after you've boarded the plane and eat snacks/equip armor as necessary. Personal experience talking.

Slim Killington posted:And if you find demo to be boring, you're bad at demo or hate fun. You spend like, half the mission raining steel death down around the ears of your teammates. There shouldn't be a single police helicopter in the sky while the prisoner team moves from the van to the plane. Yeah, but the other half is driving a really slow and clunky bus, and your options are either taking a really twisty road or driving through the desert and for sure rolling it. What's also infuriating is that sometimes the prison team goes hot before you're done with the bus part, and yet for some loving reason you have to maintain the facade of driving the bus close to the prison. Why should I even bother at that point?

Dandywalken posted:300k til the Buzzard here! Running the higher-tier missions I can definitely see how it'd be useful. In lower tier stuff it seemed kind of irrelevent or redundant. The Buzzard is ridiculously useful. Even if it was unarmed, it's still a small, fast chopper that holds 4 people that you can call in on demand. Don't let the copilot take control of the missiles, though, because then they're unguided and super slow. I bought it back on PS3 when hackers were throwing around hundreds of millions of dollars like candy. I miss that October afternoon I spent buying one high-end apartment after another just to compare the views.

Top Hats Monthly posted:So what is your favorite car in your garage? I don't think I actually hate any cars The vehicle I've used most overall is probably a tossup between the Akuma and the Cheetah, but recently I've fallen in love with the JB700. No, the guns don't work, but it has one of the sexier engine noises in the game and drifts like a champ. I don't know why they offer colors besides silver. Incidentally, does anyone have ideas on how to fill out the rest of my garages? Even after I complete my wishlist I'll still have a few spots left. Contents are listed below, with stuff in parentheses being stuff I don't have yet, but plan on buying once I get the cash together.

So how badly did my game screw up? I have two garages, one full and one half-full. I picked up a Sabre Turbo and put it in my half-full garage and all ofa sudden there are two in there. They're linked somehow: I went and took one out for a respray and when I brought it back to the garage, its twin was resprayed too. Also there's no option to sell either one. This would be fine except for in my other garage my Bati 801, which I've had since PS3 days, has completely disappeared. It's not in my garage, not in my mechanic list, and not available at the insurance company. Are these two things related somehow?

Top Hats Monthly posted:Also, what is it with dudes way over dressing their characters in online? My guy always wears like, a flannel with a tie and some jeans, or a sweatshirt and sweatpants. While it seems like everyone that's not LLJK who is not a comedy character is in a tux or suit. Guilty, but I'm not going to apologize for looking fly as hell. Out of my 10 saved outfits I think at least 5 of them are some variation of a suit. Off the top of my head: 1. Leather jacket, jeans, fingerless gloves 2. Navy three-piece suit, red stripy tie 3. Grey three-piece suit, navy tie 4. Grey two-piece suit, striped shirt, navy tie 5. Navy suit, silver shirt, no tie 6. Grey suit, charcoal shirt, no tie 7. Tactical sweater, camo pants, gloves, bulletproof vest 8. Grey heist hoodie, balaclava, jeanes, gloves (this one is cool because the hood is raised with certain masks) 9. Yeti T-shirt and jeans 10. Golf outfit! Purple polo, khaki suit pants, brown wingtips. I think every single outfit listed wears some kind of aviators too. In my defense, the in-game suits looked like poo poo up until the High Life update came out so I might be overcompensating a bit. I wish you could change your shirt color while wearing a three-piece though. That said, my number 1 request is for proper slim-fitting jeans. A happy medium between the bootcut "regular fit" and the painted-on skinny jeans. Like, if you took the regular suit pants and added jeans textures to them that would be about perfect. ninjahedgehog fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Apr 27, 2015 |

The outfit quickchange in the character menu is by far one of the best additions to the game. I can go from pretending to be Henry Hill to Neil McCauley to John Wick within seconds, although I'm still working on tricking out a Sabre Turbo for that last one.

The Dewbauchee JB700 is a lot of fun to pretend to be James Bond in. No, the guns don't work, but it's probably one of the best drifting cars in the game. Also the Lampadati Casco has the best engine report in the entire game, so get one of those too.

Corzaa posted:Where the hell has all this Voltic love come from? It still flips like gently caress doesn't it? Back when the game first came out in 2013 people were drooling over the Voltic for a while, until they actually started racing it online. Yeah, it might have the fastest acceleration in the game (maybe beaten by the Akuma), but its top speed is the slowest in its class and because it's electric, it can't get a turbo upgrade. It's also light as hell so it goes flying when it bumps even the slightest obstacle, and the front wheels can get bashed in really easily, keeping you from turning. That said, it's fun as hell to tool around in. Because it has no gears (the wheels are directly connected to the engine) it can theoretically hit its top speed in reverse and can climb hills like nobody's business. ninjahedgehog fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Apr 29, 2015 |

Contact missions are probably the way to go ever since they readjusted the payouts to scale with time spent. This means you can do a lot of different ones without worrying about time spent vs. money earned, which is what led me to play nothing but Rooftop Rumble for countless hours back on PS3. There's a pretty good variety of them, and a goon posted a few pages ago a list of easy ones to solo (although I think you get a % bonus depending on how many players there are, with more being better). Don't try to do heists until you're at least level 20 or so. Rockstar should add a way to filter invites by minimum level, but as it is, I kick on sight any non-crewmate lower than level 20.

What's also annoying is when heist missions put suppressors on poo poo without asking, and then don't take them off when the mission is over. Also they changed the suppressor on the pump-action shotgun to some tiny rear end baby thing on the PC version. Back on PS3 it was this gigantic thing as long as your arm, and it was glorious.
