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

Oh shit, i hope it will stay that way, those raids were awful.

Vespucci Jon should have at least 3 Runners tbh, and 9 cops with a much larger area to play. Right now it’s really dull with just 1 car.

Yeah it's been like that for 1 or 2 years...

It didn't use to be back when next gen was released, they broke it when they did some major map updates. Can't remember specifically which one.

I can't say I'm a big fan of allowing custom vehicles during the Vespucci job. I shouldn't have to sink in 500K just to have a chance at a job that'll be forgotten in about a week, and a maxed out Weeny is literally faster than the stock cop cars that you're stuck with, leaving you with little chance to actually catch up with him unless the driver makes a mistake.

The Issi still has low top speed while upgraded, and you'll be swiftly caught up by the cruisers if you are out in the open. The acceleration of the Issi isn't exactly stellar, and its mass is very small, which is where I think most of the strategy comes from. If you get rammed by a cop who knows what they're doing, they'll constantly spin you out if you try to get away, and be right on your tail if you do manage to escape. You can lock down a stock Issi far too easily even as a lone cop, the mode would definitely benefit from the stocks being upgraded by default. I like the idea of relying on sound, could really turn the tables in the dark and areas with a lot of cover, and add a lot of tension. As someone else mentioned in the thread, more runners and cops for a bigger game would be great, and would remove any long pauses in action the lack of radar might cause. I hope the reason why all these adversary modes are churned out and then forgotten is in the pursuit of user statistics to see what ideas go over well, since some modes are carbon copies of others, or borrow heavily from existing assets. The Vespucci Job could have been a great freemode event or VIP Work had they spent longer refining the idea.

Y'know, I really hope we're done with adding weaponized vehicles. Partially because I'm scared of what's going to be added next. We've reached peak bullshit with what is basically a flying Ruiner with 30 rockets, and a tank with insurance costs. A stealth chopper that will let you stealth-bomb anyone on the map by always being Off the Radar, personal aircraft with flares, bombs, explosive cannons and missiles that call you a "bad sport" for having the audacity to fight back using your pocket-railgun, only because your homing launcher literally does nothing. Where do we go from here? A miniature Helicarrier? A-10 with a swivel-mounted explosive minigun? The Firestarter or whatever it was called from XCOM: Enemy Unknown that is literally a reverse-engineered flying saucer? An RT-2PM Topol with a nuclear bomb mounted as a warhead? The sky is the limit here, and we've barely scratched the surface for crazy shit.

They probably aren't done. Weaponized vehicles are guaranteed to get somebody to waste their money and it's also easy for Rockstar to justify putting ridiculous price tags on vehicles with weapons/dumb gimmicks.

The funny thing is, literally none of the new stuff gets used by griefers because they all just go back to Hydras.

Eh, I dunno. I've seen more shitters in Deluxos than Hydras lately. They just stalk you in passive mode then quickly turn if off, blow you up, and fly away until their passive mode cooldown wears off.

I haven't seen that all, especially since its not well armored nor does it have unlimited ammo. It also has its awkward flying that doesn't really let it point downward.

Maybe things are different on PC, but I've definitely seen people take over lobbies with their Deluxos on PS4.

Tunables updated for this week's event. No new vehicles. Skulls livery for AA Trailer now available. Sales on Cyclone, Visione, P-45 Nokota, Pyro, Mogul, RM-10 Bombushka, LF-22 Starling, Tula, Retinue, Howard NX-25, Ultralight, and Havok. Hotring Circuit, Stockpile, and The Vespucci Job on double cash/RP.

Lets Just hope they drag the vehicle release because they need more time for the update and not because they are assholes, but its R* - so..

Well this is cool, apparently they added the Bahama Mamas interior back into the game with the recent update. I managed to get inside by flying my Deluxo under the map. Hopefully this means they have something planned for it in a future update. https://prod.hosted.cloud.rockstargames.com/ugc/gta5photo/klzOIpNsBkmDT_b8n-Za2Q_0_0.jpg

If the next update is actually about the consolidation of all the business/warehouse work like Yan's leak suggests, I'd expect them to just make it part of a new resupply mission instead of doing anything interesting with it.

I wish some of these businesses would open up more permenantly, like the strip club is. If nothing else, unlock the door and spawn some NPCs doing their thing inside.

On the topic of the club and businesses, Rockstar has pushed out a few fixes for both of those(and some other shit): https://twitter.com/TezFunz2/status/989906813482135555 Not entirely sure why they're so quick to patch out interior glitches.

Because self-made fun is bad. If the players are having fun on their own, they're not being incentivized to spend money.

Wow, I didn't even know there were turtleneck suits in the console version of IV. Is there any way to get them on the PC version?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/8f4crm/the_update_for_gta_4_removes_songs_from_the/ well this sucks. Arguably the best fucking songs

Seems like greedstar enabled bunker and mc raids again.

Wow, Vladivostok FM got fucking gutted. I sold my PS3 with my copy of GTA 4 a long time ago but this has really ruined my desire to buy it again on PC.

"bunker raids can happen now" so where they just not functional before? I've had my bunker since the update, never bought the security upgrade and I haven't been raised once

Also, what a fucking way to mark the 10th anniversary. But less bitching, can't believe this game is already 10 years old.

Does FAPS have a Discord? I wanna play with some people and if there is a discord, probably the best way to find out when there are groups playing.

As far as I know, raids only trigger when you have a certain amount of product ready to sell and when you are an active CEO/MC president. It's pretty easy to avoid them if you don't forget to disband when inactive and regularly sell your shit. I'm fairly certain that raids only broke just recently; the change wasn't noticed quickly because most people know how to avoid raids or never do enough to trigger them.
