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

I recently checked on some GTA clickbait channels, just to see what they could possibly be talking about now that barely anything is going on with Online, and it's ridiculous how much they milk the shit out of this game. I imagine they're locked in padded cells, haven't showered in weeks, and are just slamming into the walls, shouting ridiculous DLC ideas and theories, laughing maniacally. They just fall asleep, mumbling to themselves, "jetpack jetpack jetpack".

A couple of the GTA tubers I follow have either stopped posting or only post weekly release updates. I think both of them also posted a "What the hell? I don't even want to play this game anymore." video after Smuggler's Run came out.

GTAO is extremely fucking easy, it's just that most people nowadays are weak and cannot follow basic instructions "Buah I have to grind a lot to buy every single vehicle in the update. Fuck rockstar and shark cards" People who think like this are retarded. If anyone has any concept of how money works, hell, if anyone has ever played GTAO for more than one update, they will know that not every vehicle is worth buying. Take a look at Smuggler's Run. There are a lot of new planes, but only a handful of them are actually worth buying, so you don't have to spend a lot of cash. Another example is the Aquarius Super Yacht. Everyone bitches and moans that they can't afford it, but in reality it doesn't matter because the yacht is nearly useless besides the free ammo and the vehicles, 90% of yacht owners rarely ever spend their in their yacht. The only people who lose in this scenario are those turbo dweebs who cannot live unless they acquire every single vehicle and object in the game and honestly I hardly feel anything for those people. If you want to get everything, you have to do a lot of shit and grind endlessly, that happens in almost every single game known by man and GTAO is not the exception. There are a lot of games out there which have even worse grinding schemes.

I caved and bought the Hunter after bitching about needing another person to use all of the weapons. I'm pleasantly surprised. With the Hunter in the smuggler missions, you can only fire the missile barrage in bursts. For some reason though, the one that you buy can fire missiles endlessly and it's insane. I don't know if it's a glitch or what, but I love it. Made me completely forget about the little turret on the front.

If the Hunter you bought is firing its missile endlessly, something is wrong with it. It isn't supposed to do that, its only supposed to fire bursts.

[QUOTE=Sgt. Nikolai;52923163]whining noises[/QUOTE] Sounds like you forgot about people enjoying having things instead of needing them The GTA version of my favourite car is $904000. Do I need this car? Not at all. Would I like to have my favourite car? Absolutely. To use my favourite car it would take hours of grinding or £10 of real money and if I'm bein honest with you, i'd rather not waste my time for such a small goal and i'd much rather use my money to buy things i need. Yea sure I could buy a sports car that is fast and shit but it's not a car I want, or even enjoy having Things in game are just nice to have, you don't need them but they are nice to have for the novelty, Having things like a decent car are starting to become timesinks or moneysinks just to obtain and ultimately makes the game less fun than it already is. MAYBE this wouldn't be a problem if the tasks for grinding weren't so fucking unfun with public lobby trash and low payouts and yes, [B]fuck shark cards[/B] for making ingame prices bloat over time and making the grind (and ultimately the multiplayer game) worse overall

I don't look at my hours in gta and think "what an incredible accomplishment" but instead think "if i was making minimum wage for these hours I could've finally built my dream car"

So apparently the 10k per kill jobs have been patched, but youtubers are livestreaming prerecorded streams of them doing it, saying they'll invite people who like and subscribe. Dirty as FUCK. They're getting donations too.

You'd think the second people start saying "I WILL GIVE YOU 50$ IF YOU SAY HI TO ME" and get nothing back, they'd get clued in that they're talking to a pre-recorded video. Even then, the second people start spamming KAPPA KAPPA GAS THE UNFIT and don't get banned, either he gives zero shits about his viewfarming subscriber base, or the alternative is that it's pre-recorded.

The P996 Lazer is available for $6,500,000. You can also now create your own transform races with the creator. Sales on Nightshark, APC, Dune FAV, Half-Track, Weaponized Tampa, Anti-Aircraft Trailer, Technical, and Buzzard. Double cash and RP on transform races, Every Bullet Counts, Inch by Inch, Motor Wars, Running Back, and Stockpile. This is the end of the SR dripfeed so expect an update soon. [editline]d[/editline] Apparently MC clubhouse contracts are double cash and RP. If you're looking to earn money, it might be a good idea to take advantage of that bonus.

great news for someone who bought a half track literally 8 hours ago like me

Finally it ends.

[QUOTE=Pax;52929045]Finally it ends.[/QUOTE] So it can begin again

I still can't believe they made the Lazer 6.5 mil when you can just take a few steps outside of your hangar and steal one for free.

[QUOTE=MightyLOLZOR;52929481]I still can't believe they made the Lazer 6.5 mil when you can just take a few steps outside of your hangar and steal one for free.[/QUOTE] I'd be okay with it if you could do anything to it besides change the color. But $6.5 million isn't worth it when the Hydra can be had for less than half of that, and when the Lazer is super easy to steal from Fort Zancudo.

[QUOTE=Exploders;52911549]GTA 4's performance is so bipolar that I can run it at 4k, drop from 60 to 20 fps for 3 minutes straight and I wouldn't even notice the drop.[/QUOTE] It's fucking insane. I got almost identical framedrops from 60 to 40-45 when running in 5k and in 1440p - it's a fucking four times difference in resolution - so it's probably 100% the CPU not handling it. Can't imagine people trying to play this back in 2008-2009

So I bought the lazer, because I may or may not have an absolutely obscene amount of ill-gotten gains. Very disappointed. Not only is it a pegasus vehicle with no customization save changing the colour, even the recolorable parts were half-assed. You can change colours just like the Hydra, but unlike the Hydra, you can't recolour the metal frame of the cockpit, which as a result sticks out like a sore thumb if you change the colour from default.

dunno why anyone is dissapointed they never once stated that it would be customizable beyond colours, same with all of the aircraft in-game prior to smugglers run with the exception of the Cuban 800.

[QUOTE=WJS;52930847]dunno why anyone is dissapointed they never once stated that it would be customizable beyond colours, same with all of the aircraft in-game prior to smugglers run with the exception of the Cuban 800.[/QUOTE] Well, that's because I hoped the color customization might at least be as good as the Hydra's.

I really hope that the new update (if we get one) brings some more Bennys vehicles. Could go for a custom Carbonizzare.

[QUOTE=WJS;52930847]dunno why anyone is dissapointed they never once stated that it would be customizable beyond colours, same with all of the aircraft in-game prior to smugglers run with the exception of the Cuban 800.[/QUOTE] It's because they're charging $6.5 million (about $81 worth of Shark Cards) for a vehicle that has been there since the game launched over 4 years ago with basically no benefits to just simply stealing it from the military base. You're paying equal to $81 real dollars to save a minute of time and to slap a shitty paint job on it.

They're charging so fucking much for it oh my god

But worry not because within the next two weeks it'll have a 50% discount! You'll be overpaying by slightly less!

How much do you wanna bet they'll remove the Lazers from Fort Zancudo in the next update so you'll be forced to buy one.

Is there any decent mod packs for 5? All I could really find is Redux. I just want some gameplay/engine improvements or new content/variety.

One thing I'm curious about. How likely is it my XBL/Social Club account will get banned/suspended for glitching in GTA:O? Using the NAT type test glitch is the only way you can reliably sell gunrunning stock in a session that doesn't have more than five people, and I'm not really sure Rockstar even bothers to look over reports judging from what I've heard from PC players. Another thing, exactly what do their rules in the ban policy mean? Two of these listed entries are currently not possible to do on consoles, one is vague, and the other is either flat out unenforced or officially doesn't exist, and I've roamed into a phishing page. [quote]GTA Online suspensions are triggered by a number of factors[/quote] Drumroll, please. [quote]including modding in GTA Online,[/quote] Not possible on Console, next. [quote]exploiting or abusing game mechanics,[/quote] Meaning what? What is "abusing game mechanics"? Exploiting I can understand a ban for, but what the actual fuck is "abusing game mechanics"? [quote]manipulating protected game data and code,[/quote] ALSO not possible on Console, and now for the most absurd entry on the list, which is also the last. [quote]or interfering with other players’ gameplay experience.[/quote] Oh my fucking god, what? How exactly do you enforce this, and what is the limit? Is this even enforced? Can I expect the people who called me a kike-faggot after blowing my vehicle cargo/gunrunning shipment to be banned? What about the people who call me a gay cuck after placing a proximity mine outside of Benny's? In fact, why not take it a step further and ban everyone using meany-poo-poo words?
