Grand Theft Auto Series Megathread V12 - GTA Online: We Have a Hacking Problem - Games

Also double value for hangar cargo. And aparently double cash and rp for stunt races

If you're curious about what is next in terms of dripfeed content, it will most likely either be the Bombushka or Cyclone. The Bombushka is a big plane that is supposed to be like an aerial MOC, but it's very expensive. The Cyclone is an electric super car with impressive acceleration, but not so impressive performance around a proper racing track.

So no Bombushka today? Fuck.

Y'know, I really thought the first dripfeed vehicle would have been at least a plane.

While I was modding GTAV, I decided to pic this NotMustang. It's nice. [t]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/284335694799962113/357373671859290113/271590_20170913003328_1.png[/t] [t]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/284335694799962113/357373700099801088/271590_20170913005046_1.png[/t]

I think there is a reverse flash suit.

Playing through San Andreas again a man, what a fucking great game. It really makes you look at how the cash cow that is Multiplayer really sunk what could have potentially been a equally great single player experience in GTA 5, which is great, dont get me wrong, but it really pales in comparison.

Proper testing has been done on the Rapid GT Classic by Broughy: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJdS9tKHAcA[/media] It's not too far off from what he got originally, but I figure it's worth posting anyways. Part of me kinda wishes that it was a bit slower around a track and in the muscle class instead, it'd be nice to have some more balance there.

Supposedly, custom license plates have been disabled on the PC version of GTA:O. I can only assume this is a countermeasure to the dupe glitches that have been swarming from the MOC.

I always thought it was a bug on my end.

I was able to put one on a little earlier, unless you guys mean making new custom plates?

Anyone notice an increased amount of assholes as of late? Four times I tried to sell/source I/E vehicles, three of which failed because people kept coming after me, even in sessions with only seven other people.

[QUOTE=JerryAnderson;52683169]Anyone notice an increased amount of assholes as of late? Four times I tried to sell/source I/E vehicles, three of which failed because people kept coming after me, even in sessions with only seven other people.[/QUOTE] Usually happens after each update, takes a month or so to quiet down to the stage where you can play the game with others who are interested in long-term goals, rather than making your experience as unfun as possible. Best you can do is session hop or solo session if you are in need of money, or just host your own stunt race with contact off, payoffs are nearly as good as an I/E sell if you do 3 or 4 laps on most stunt races and have a full 16 player race lobby. This is assuming you get first (or even second) place.

so, some guy ported the Uncharted 4 Nathan to GTA V, and i have to say its rather impressive work [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgHUBKMYvK0&ab_channel=NewHomeCinema[/media]

People are fucking crazy on Reddit. Some guy made a thread feeding directly into the "SHARKCARDS ARE CANCER FUCKING CUCKSTAR RUINING THE GAME" circlejerk by posting a picture of several support tickets. All but three were marked "closed." one involving Shark Cards was marked "Solved" and the two above were marked "Open." People went fucking psychotic. Especially a person named scuzzlebutt07. [quote=That one episode of South Park with the Japanese hunting whales]That's why we need to find a way to identify the whales and fuck with them constantly. Make the he game as unfun for them as possible. We need to spread the knowledge that the whales are the root of the problem. We need to hunt whales.[/quote] [quote=wailord]That's why I say seek out and destroy their whales. We need to make the game unfun for them and hit take2 right in the share price. We all need to be whalers. We can't just sit and bitch anymore.[/quote] [quote=actually advocating griefing for buying shark cards]That's why the entire community has to hunt and dog pile the whales everywhere they can. Ask about shark cards in every lobby you touch. Find someone who admits to buying cards on the regular, ram them off the road in races, fuck with their heists, prioritize killing them in death match, make them know how hated they are. I want "whale" to end up as an insult in the GTA community. We need to make the bodies hit the floor like never before. Over time the community will love the smell of burning whale carcass, it'll smell like victory for the players. Make it the new past time. Plus I believe whales are highly likely to be squeakers, so it's just fun to fuck with those types of people as is.[/quote]

I mean, Sharkcards are responsible for the atrocious economy of the game, so that isn't wrong in that regard. The "hunt the whales" thing is weird and dumb, but bitching about sharkcards is perfectly fine.

Any excuse to start a lynch mob these days. The 'problem' is not just with GTA microtransactions, but industry-wide. The best thing you can do about a game that has elements you think have ruined it is to stop playing, and encourage others to do so through words, not making the game momentarily worse for someone intentionally. Much like the culture surrounding pre-ordering games, digital or otherwise, you can try to convince people not to do it, but ultimately it is a wasted effort. The vast majority of people don't care about the rise of microtransactions or how 'limited edition' digital pre-ordering content affects the industry as a whole, they just want to play games, and enjoy playing games. I don't mind how GTA has implemented its microtransactions, because you can bypass them if you simply play the game. Rockstar offer a decent amount of double cash events that you can play for a week and be set money-wise for a few months, or until the next update. I understand a lot of people don't want to spend their life on one game, but don't let it be said that they haven't given us (some) tools to get the job done without paying real money.

The problem with the system is it's not adequately adjusted for inflation. The same exact system has been in-use in EVE Online since 2003 and it's been working fine there because the system adjusts to inflation since other people can buy and sell that game's version of a Shark Card on the player market. $100 buys you 8mil GTAbux. What can you do with 8,000,000 in GTA money? That's probably enough to get a business and a car garage if you haven't gotten one yet already. You might have some left over for small things like buying ammo and paying [I]in-game bills because that's awesome.[/I] $100 of real, actual money gets you enough to...start grinding for more in-game money. I get that they have to keep things this way so that people aren't out there just buying anything and everything that they want. But...there are better ways to do it. In EVE there's a million different things to do and many different ways to make in-game money. Even if you did decide to buy 2 PLEX for $30 and sell them, you're going to get yourself a SHITLOAD of in-game money. Enough to keep yourself going in the game for a very, very, very long time. Or enough to fit out a handful of very shiny, very expensive ships. Which if you decided you didn't want them anymore YOU CAN SELL THEM and get your money back. The problem is GTA:O has been trying to be this thing that it simply isn't. It's not an MMO and it keeps trying to be one. There's not enough content for it to be an MMO. It has no identity, and I think that's the huge problem with it. Once it gets an actual identity maybe it will become a lot better. As it stands it's really only good for dicking around in every once in awhile.

wtf my money's been adjusted to 50k

[QUOTE=Spectre1406;52689373]wtf my money's been adjusted to 50k[/QUOTE] When was the last time you logged in to GTAO? Just before the release of Smuggler's Run, they pushed out a money wipe that took away a shit ton of legit money from people on PC.

[QUOTE=Spectre1406;52689414]months ago[/QUOTE] I'd guess that you were probably affected by the wipe before SR then. You can try making a ticket, but the majority of players who had shit taken have not had any luck with getting their money back. I've created two tickets so far and both of them were closed with a generic copy/paste reply.

I wish I was a whale so there would be people trying to fuck me constantly. Edit If you are inside the Executive Garage can other people see you as spectators? I recall being able to see people in Bunkers and shit. Sometimes I feel paranoid because when I make my character wear leggings I automatically receive apartment invitations and SecuroServ requests.

one of my chars is female, I've actually had people messaging me trying to chat me up :v: I wish there was just a way to send a selfie back so they can see my bearded 21 year old male face looking disgusted
