Grand Theft Auto Series Megathread V5 - Weekly Threads - Games

[QUOTE=RayvenQ;47553195]Frankly I think it's stupid that you auto fail if someone dies and you run out of lives. I mean sure, if they were inside a mission critical vehicle that blew up or something, but R* should at least give you the chance to try and finish the mission if someone dies and can't respawn, if their demise didn't include mission critical hardware. Like in the normal missions where its possible to carry on as much as you can even if your teammates die.[/QUOTE] I think that should only really apply in the finale, because during setup it's implied everyone has to stay alive to take their role in said finale. Also were it to work that way, if a player dies with no lives left in the finale, at the end, the host gets to decide whether they get the cut they were promised, or if they did so poorly they didn't earn it, in which case it can be reduced or divvied up to everyone else entirely.

It bugs the hell out of me that if you record a video from first person mode you can't switch cameras to third person for the editor. That means stunt videos in jets and helicopters are going to force the pilots to fly in third person, which makes it dangerous and difficult - Primarily because it's important you can see what's in front of you when you're cruising down a tunnel at high speed two feet off the deck.

Realized I posted this in the PAYDAY thread yesterday and not here What ever happened to that custom future funk/vaporwave station somebody was making?

Planes races are absolutely terrible as well, I had my wingtip pass through the yellow part of the point and it didn't trigger. It's a fucking PLANE RACE there's no ROADS so it shouldn't matter if you pass through it as long as you're going in the general direction. Very poorly thought out.

Got it working, first play with the Editor: [video=youtube;9ogXU-qVWQI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ogXU-qVWQI&feature=youtu.be[/video]

Aside from the GLARING RIVET PROBLEMS HOLY SHIT MAN that I mentioned last page, they also conglomerated plane and helicopter control options together despite both needing very different setups [I]and[/I] they didn't offer a free-aiming button for when you've set the mouse to control instead of view [I]and[/I] they put no thought into the little radar-altimeter system [I]and[/I] got multiple facts wrong in flight school.

[QUOTE=Bullet100;47552454]I just got a crash lastnight with Geforce Experience AND Steam overlay disabled...so I'm out of options besides lowering DX settings... I guess, like you, I have no other choice :( What exactly do you lose when lowering DX11 to DX10.1? Besides Tessellation.[/QUOTE] Grass is locked on normal, shadows and MSAA aren't locked, but they return to sharp and off when you apply the settings, enhanced DOF is locked on off (No loss there, I don't like DOF anyway) Game still looks great, I am going to actually try turning my settings back up and leaving it in dx 10.1 and see if I can still run for as long as I did last night. Also going to try and force some AA through nvidia control panel.

Fuck racing Anyone want to farm wins with me? Happydevil1 add me and we'll play

I miss the Steam Overlay so much, has anyone figured out a way to make it work on the retail version? I'm starting to think I would have been better off buying the game on Steam and downloading it at someone else's house with good internet. With all of GTA:O's loading screens (half of them being from disconnections and "failed to join"), being able to browse the internet instead of stare at Cloud Simulator™ would be fucking fantastic.

Please can I get an invite to one of the FP groups? My IGN is mrmr720, thanks.

It's like it tries to show elevation and roll position and horizon lines, but then just mashes it all together into one big mess, good luck navigating with that!

[QUOTE=The Genie;47553369]Is anyone else getting the annoying glitch where everyone will suddenly leave (but in reality it's you that's left)? I'm just hoping it's not a dodgy connection on my end.[/QUOTE] It's not your connection, it's the Rockstar servers. Happens constantly on every platform.

Here we are. Uploaded in 1080p, 60FPS. With my internet speed, that took two hours - For a video under two minutes long. Not my best flying, as you'll see towards the end. Let me know what you think, anyway. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2wj8xsDQOI[/media]

The hosting stuff is really annoying. Unless it is under the job list, there is no way for me to host a job/race/whatever. I always get automatically matchmade with random people with no chance of inviting friends and if I finally became the host the moment we choose some other event, we still get dumped into some other person's game. So how the hell are you supposed to host properly?

How do I get whitewall tires on the rat-truck? Are they not available for the default wheels? [editline]t[/editline] Also it's bullshit how chromedome hubcaps are level locked to 30-something. How are you supposed to make a classic hotrod without them?

So I watched these cops have a shootout with thesr two guys in SP, the cops won. As they were about to leave the scene, the cop that was about to get into the drivers seat just dropped dead.

[QUOTE=Starlight 456;47553130]Where's the cheapest I could get this game that isn't some shady russian key site?[/QUOTE] I'm gonna post this just one more time in case anyone can help me out.

Also is it possible to get redline tires somehow? They'd look great on the Rat-truck or the Tornado.

i bought gta v anyway (I didn't enjoy spending the 60 euros but fuck i wanted it so bad) leaving my pc on overnight and I should be ready to play tomorrow!

So my pc crashes almost every time i quit the game.

[QUOTE=blazingfly;47553184]So, you have to come first in a race to unlock car parts? No consideration for 2nd or 3rd or whatever? Racing in this game is a fucking crapshoot anyway, can be going along just fine, and then mysteriously get overtaken by someone in the EXACT SAME CAR (car mods set to OFF) that is SOMEHOW going faster than you can go at max throttle? I don't want to race to get the car parts, is there ANY other way, or is a large part of the game cut off for me? There should be NO penalty for respawning, eg, if you've spun off the track you should be able to respawn instantly, not have to wait EVEN LONGER to get back in the race, dropping by 3 - 5 places. This isn't a racing game and they shouldn't have tried, and failed, to make it one. As there is no distinguishing between places, you either WIN or you LOSE, which means that if you can no longer come first, you may as well spend your time fucking up the rest of the race or just barreling off into the distance somewhere - it makes no difference overall.[/QUOTE] When you win a race in a supercar it counts as an unlock for all classes so that's an easier way to get the unlocks

THE FUCKING CARS THEYRE NOT DRIVING Anybody else had this game-breaking bug?

FAPS Session highlights. Not really that much to show tbh. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpIkgVCytXw&feature=youtu.be[/media]

[QUOTE=Starlight 456;47553362]Wait, does Steam Overlay not work if you don't buy it through Steam? even if you add the game as a non-steam shortcut into the steam client?[/QUOTE] I haven't been able to get it to work. Retail launches with uh, a launcher. So adding retail to Steam generates an error on startup because it isn't using the launcher, but adding the launcher doesn't work because Steam sees the launcher itself as the program. If I had known this, I may have reconsidered my retail purchase.

I must be the only one who has absolutely no problem flying on a keyboard. It's much much better than IV was, it handles probably as good as in SA. Basically binded roll right to E and the VTOL to H and roll left to Q and rebinded the radio to 1 and raise gear to 2. Then pitch forward to , and backward to . and it handles like a dream. There is no need to use the mouse. [editline]18th April 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Starlight 456;47553510]I'm gonna post this just one more time in case anyone can help me out.[/QUOTE] nuuvem. I bought it from there as did many others. I heard they are out of stock though.
