Just out of curiosity, are there any other aussies playing? I joined LLJK, and I don't have a headset but I should by tomorrow (I have a turtle beach chat headset for my Xbox 360, and if I understand it right I should be able to use it on my PS4 controller with their official 2.5-3.5 adapter cable rather than having to fork out $30 for the PS4 version.). Before anyone mentions the Sony Gold headset, I'm not a fan of the big head-encompasing headsets. It's just a personal thing, because I find them uncomfortable. The TB one I get by with because its pretty light.

Oh, my PSN ID is ThatAussieGuy88

Whoever Jokerfish is, cheers for the heist run earlier this afternoon. The Fleeca Bank never knew what hit them. Also paper bag masks are the best :allears:.

I had fun racing with you John_Wayne_Tasty. Though you'd think the host would've wised up and disabled Custom Cars after the first few races when you just blitzed us all with your big-rear end supercar.

Are the heists good? Can anyone link a good heist vid?

Yes, heists are good. The first one is a really simple two-man bank job, plus it doesn't cost you the $40,000 setup fee the others do. Different people do different roles (there's another bank job where two guys stay back as crowd control while the other two open the vault), and it's made up of several setup missions before the actual heist just like the story ones.

He made me buy a sadler after he destroyed everybody in a utility race with it.

he's in a truck, everybody else is rocking buggies.

The trick is to bet $10k on him every race.

It's loving annoying, you end up getting funneled into rooms that run supercars every god drat race.

One of the races we got into was a six-man air race in fighter jets. I knew I had no chance of winning against him, but I'm just sad I didn't get close enough to draw a lock with missiles. Incidentally none of the pubbies seemed bright enough to figure missile out because I tagged others with impunity but never caught a lock myself.

He also burned me out of the sky two seconds in with the machineguns :gibs:.

When the alternative is pubbies living and enjoying themselves, it's a small sacrifice.

I'm, God willing, about to finish the prison break with pubbies :') They're not all bad you guys..

Edit: I take it back, the prisoner left lmao

The setup mission involving getting a cop car just to get into the station is a chore though. I was doing it last night and the cops just would not piss off while we were trying to get away with the car.

I've only completed through Prison Break but honestly my real problem with pubbies is "why won't anyone join" rather than "how are you so stupid"

I had someone determined to stop and grab a car on the Pacific Job Heist. He also grabbed the shittiest sedan possible :cripes:.

Nope, because they're technically separate cutscenes.

It's a bug. Just land/stop and get out of your vehicle for a moment.

Keep in mind you'll end up with 2 lovely daily objectives that suck and take a lot of time and you'll say gently caress it and miss them and reset your progress.

Find some daily buddies and help each other out, you can do basically everything (in an absolute fraction of the time vs trying to join public poo poo) with 2 people.

Also be aware that the average pubbie is even dumber than you think they'll be.

You're flying an aircraft that demands precision with clumsy digital inputs. Just go drop $30 on a wired xbox360 controller and never fret over it again.
