Couldn't see a thread about GTA Online anywhere here, so was wondering if there's an GetSome crew going for this? Dirty gameplanet heathens have one going..(see: more organized) http://www.gpforums.co.nz/thread/474796/?s= and I think we should get one up if there isn't one already :)

Keen?

If anyones keen to join, get amongst it! should make playing online that much more exciting :)

I only have a PS3, I was more so pointing out the fact you can enjoy it on either until it's released on PC/PS4.

Out of curiosity, how does it play in comparison to GTAIV? Because I was *really* confused by IV. I found it boring, uneventful and just plain bland and was perplexed what kept people playing it for so long.

Has V got a lot more going for it in terms of mission depth and general story line quality?

Oh god damn yes, all of my yes. The depth is so far amazing.. and the story line? fuck, incredible - I put in over 200 hours into IV and so far V trumps it in EVERY regard.

How cheap did you get it?

I bought it for $88 from DSE, and thought that was pretty reasonable.

Ugh, I just wanna go home and playyyyyyyyy!

Last night I was driving along casually just checking shit out - taking in the views. I see a dude grab a ladies purse and make a run for it. I decide to take chase in my car, ram him slightly to see if he would just drop it or whatever so I could return it without killing him. He gets up and makes a run for it, I rip out my hand gun and gun him down, reclaim purse.

Purse had $2k cash in it, so I return it to the lady to see what kinda reward she'd leave me with, $200.00? fucking bitch..I decided to go and get a haircut with my newly acquired coin completely forgetting that I'd just shot dead a common crook in the street.. I begin to hear sirens whilst looking in the mirror looking fucking suave, so I decide to leave the barber.. Cops have surrounded the place, burst in through the door screaming at me to get down and pointing guns and shit and arrest me.

Apparently you can't run over people and shoot them dead.

You left the video store, robbed some guy then proceeded to stab him with a dildo whilst you were wearing a gimp suit. Which reminded you of a time you were playing GTA:SA.

I have my entire Halo catalog on Xbox and I may get a craving to play it, so that stays here.

Haha, nah. I'm not spending money on any games for a while so you'll have it for a healthy amount of time if you so wish.

Also, Xbox and PS3 don't do crossplay. PS3 and PC do, and I think on occasion Xbox and PC do, but not between consoles, not ever.

I got on last night after a bit of trying for a bit of an explore. Inexplicably, I wasn't randomly murdered while I was out and about.

Easy way to get a bit of cash is to steal a car and sell it the Los Santos Customs shops, but you can't do that frequently and you can't sell high end cars. Also, can protect the cash you make by depositing what you have through the bank website through your phone.

I'm not sure there is a way to collect money as a crew. I can't find any information on it. Maybe there's an option when you do a mission as a crew or maybe it's something unlocked later.

It does seem like it may take a bit to earn enough cash to buy anything. A garage is 140k and I've only been getting around 1.5k for jobs and 2-3k sticking up shops.

Not sure? perhaps in one of the like... 500 online missions?
GetSome Crew has amassed 30 members, solid effort. GP Mafia crew is sitting on 64 people.

Won't be playing anymore until they sort out the char deleting bugs and the hard crashes.  Had a good session Friday night and the PS3 crashed a few times, Saturday morning PS3 locked up again and toon deleted. Good bye garage/car/money/unlocks.

Last couple of days have been fairly smooth for me. There was a few timeouts tonight. I also lost my first character yesterday too. Luckily the bank account applies for all characters you make.

I've got enough money to buy a cheap house, but I think I'll wait until it's more stable.

That was a good round of golf we played on Friday night, Scunner! You were too good and ended up running away with it, and I kept on messing up every second shot after the first four or 5.

I got the game.

I've been sitting in my house watching TV.

Then I got a beard.

Then I went back home and changed my pants.

Then I went to sleep.

I thought that was what golf is.

Playing with each others balls and sticking them in holes.

You did well on the first few holes, I thought you were going to run away with it. I need to work on putting. I always seem to end up on -2.

We get enough of beating people with dildoes in real life. Sometimes you just need a break from dildo beatings.

But you can't buy your dildoes at the supermarket, like we can in New Zealand.

How am I supposed to shoot and drive at the same time? I can't do it.

I was doing that boat mission, where you have to shoot that guy on the boat while driving behind it, but it can't control the car and aim at the same time. I CANT DO TWO THINGS AT THE SAME TIME!

Yeah, that's one thing I've always had trouble with in both 4 and 5..  You do get better at it the more you do it though :)

I skipped that part of the mission, the skip function is actually pretty cool. Can let you keep playing without getting frustrated and can always come back to it later (can you?)



It's funny, the car yard owner gets pissed when you steal that one bike, but he has no problems with you driving off with the flash cars parked outside his shop.

Yep, you can replay all missions, side missions and stranger missions etc. It's great.

The controls are butt. There's a number of missions where a side objective is to get a certain number of headshots which I never get because I auto-aim like a bitch. Probably would be too easy if it applied to driving as well though.

You definitely need to auto-aim when online, since everyone else does.

Its really easy to get headshots, I just hit the auto aim thing, then tap the analog stick up and boom.. insta headshots all day long :)

Ah that blows, did you overwrite the character or something? I've read that if you do encounter your character missing that it's best just to play singleplayer for a bit and to not create a new character. Generally the issue is just the Rockstar cloud servers being down, if you create a new character it overwrites your original.

If you do need help leveling a new character, I would be more than happy to roll you through some survivals, easy 20k cash and pretty much the quickest way to level.

When my first character was deleted I created a new one in the second slot, but I built up cash and stats quickly enough that I haven't checked if my first character came back. Close to buying one of the apartments at 200K now.

Except now my net connection is playing up. Seems to be a signal issue.


Also, I've thinking that the free-play map needs a few more things to do. Hitting the shops is fun a couple times in a row, but then it gets a bit tedious out running the cops and there's not a huge payout. Selling cars gets you easy money, particularly if you find one Simeon wants, but you can't do that often. Apart from that, I'm just loading quick jobs from my phone. Would be good to have more motivation to play free-play. Like being able to hit armoured cars like in single player, or random smuggling drops where a package gets dropped and everyone on the map can go pick it up and deliver it somewhere.

I hit an armoured car last night online? they exist, but I think only once you reach a certain level. Rockstar will be turning on BAWSAW, GTA$ and other things soon surely and the same with crew Heists and what not.

Yeah, I was more hoping stuff might be unlocked as I level up, but that then makes it kind of a grind until there's any real content in free-play.

I dunno man, I've had a blast eh.. I've got awesome shit unlocked like the ability to get rid of cops, call in Merryweather for backup in a fucking chopper or place bounties on other players.. heaps of stuff that's not in the single player game.

And it's only getting better :D perhaps you need a good group to play with? I've mainly been playing with mates and crew members and it's been hella fun.

Nah PS3 crashed and next time I loaded up char gone. No warnings about cloud down or anything.
I was only lvl 10 so its not too bad and some of my money returned to the bank. Just don't wont to invest more time in the game for it all to be lost next time the PS3 crashes.

So, did you know that if you survive a bounty put on you, you get the money from the bounty yourself? When I logged on last night, I still had a bounty on me. Took out 3 chumps trying to claim it then, just after, it told me I had survived the bounty and I got the money from it. So cash.

Pity you can't buy activities for your houses. My place could use a dart board or a pool table.
