GTA is a very fun game with lots to do with a good crew of people. Unfortunately, in recent years, Rockstar has added untold amounts of grindable content which gamers are more than happy to gobble down turning GTA Online into a soulless crushing universe where you chase after material wealth at income rates worse than working the soup line in a debtor's prison from the 1800s.

That said, here are some clips from back when the goon community threw down hard in large group events. It was a really good time.

There is an absolutely staggering amount of good goon-made content for races. You can find it all under the LLJK tab for races on the social club website. We've had a few Race Wars that were a hit with most people.

I re-installed this dumb and dead game last night after deleting doom and l4d2 to make room.

I'm hoping I can get around this week and do some funnel or hunting pack or races

yea when I resmon I usually get like 15-20 minutes by myself. And the puppies that trickle in are usually harmless and I can go about another 20-30 minutes before I need to re-resmon

Yes, it will put you into a solo session. You can invite your friends back to your session after a few minutes, but pubbies will trickle in as well.

Alternatively you could get your entire team to use something like SafeKeeperCloud - they'd all need to install it. It's safe.

i think this is the current version? it changed its name to guardian i heard

e: yea its this, i installed it in under 3 minutes and its already made my gtao life infinitly better. the security of knowing no one will come in and gently caress with me or cause me to possibly crash is very relieving

If you buy an Oppressor MkII, you can store it and customize/upgrade it inside the Terrorbyte. You can also run mini-missions from inside the Terrorbyte which are good money.

and running in windowed mode and having network adapter in one window with and gta in the other helped alot. i would prime up the right click on the adapter and have the mouse over the disable button - helped reduce errors

GTAOnline has matured so much since it first debuted when i first played it, its like 60 hours of stuff in itself. and i really dont want to switch to a new universe so hopefully they do keep it as its own thing. when i first played back when online was in beta, we barely had 1 heist - so i would just grind survivals all the time and do racing. now a days there is actual stuff to do.

The patent for the new npc's is a giant 'so what' to me - NPC's reacting differently based on mood is what it seems to be about which i thought we've had that in games for a while.


which reminded me, i wanted to put together a funnel derby and hunting pack playlist to do with some goons sometime soon

Watch_Dogs 2 did an excellent job of combining multiplayer and singleplayer so I would like to see more of that. For instance, if you got a wanted level in your singleplayer game, it would send a player after you from his singleplayer game. From the second players perspective, an enemy hacker organization is trying to get away from some poo poo and you have to stop him
that reminds me, the dark souls invasion stuff was so cool

the thing about a market that isn't real is that you can just keep inflation going until you reach the upper limit of how many bytes it can store without and there won't be really any problems. people won't starve or become homeless. So they could just keep doing that, or even do some sort of slow deflation. It's a market they could manipulate any way they want. Someone doing a phd should manipulate the gta$ for case studies in their thesis about late stage captilism or something

The post made by the guy who discovered the code is pretty cool, and goes into detail about how he figured it out and came up with a fix.

I've seen people post that they're able to go from starting the game to playing in under 2 minutes, and from singleplayer mode to online in 20 seconds. It all varies by strength of PC hardware, but overall the loading times have been cut by 70%.

This all happened in the span of 2 weeks from him going public with the issue and fix, to R* putting the fix into the game.


e: VVV They did as of this morning with a 1 gb update, and he verified it using the same hardware. XBOX users are apparently having problems with the update, but PC (and I'd assume PS) works great.
yea getting push updates about this from google news was interesting because it started with some niche article and my assumption it would never be merged into rockstars prodigious code to actually incentiving me to playing more.


Lol at the broke rear end sorting and caching strategy they left in the startup block of the code tho. who approved those PRs
