GTA 5

Whats are your thoughts on the trailer?

I gotta say, I'm not too impressed, it doesnt feel like a GTA game, the main guy has a regular feel to him, GTA main characters are never regular.

Has more of a Saints Row feel to it, anyone else agree? Characters look too plasticy as well, The Sims like.

[Hotrod]

Haven't seen the trailer yet, having trouble finding it anywhere :S

[Nero]

Yea.
I do however like the fact that it looks like it wont just be the city you get to explore this time around. (Mountains and stuff)
Edit; @ hotrod, its in the link limited provided

[Kornman00]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF I was just about post about this. Also, Limited, post a link directly to the trailer you ass: http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/19341/grand-theft-auto-v-trailer-110211.html

Game is looking good. Can't wait to get back into San Andreas again (and planes...they gotta have planes...since this isn't a NYC knock off). I wonder if Vice City will be the setting of #6 heh.

[Hotrod]

Edit; @ hotrod, its in the link limited provided
He didn't have a link when I posted that :/

Anyway, looks pretty good. I'm happy to see that they're bringing planes back, cause those were always fun to fly in San Andreas.

[Limited]

I'm throwing this out there - I think release date of 24th May 2012 judging by the trailer...anyone else agree?

Direct link korn? I watched it on the homepage, also this is a direct link: http://videos.rockstargames.com/streams/V-en_us-trailer1-wmv-1280.wmv

License plates say October though :O, anyone else think main guy sounds like Tommy Vercetti?

[Kornman00]

That doesn't sound anything like Tommy. No hint of Northeastern in his voice.

The fact that the plates say October on them may just be when the video was recorded (Oct 2012 would suggest the license was last updated in Oct 2011). Not sure what part of the trailer made you think May 24th.

So a jet flys by at the end, I'm pretty sure that's a good hint about having planes this time around. Oh and Jet-skis. And convertibles that can put the hood up/down. Yep, the game is looking great.

[Limited]

Rockstar North's recent releases have all been around the May/June time. They feel they don't need to release near the Christmas hype time, so May makes sense. Its also referenced in the trailer.

YESSS. I've been itching for some fucking real planes after they cut them out of GTA4. I play a heavily modded (Military and Aircraft based) San Andreas install about once a week for nostalgia :D

And GTA doesn't need strategic releasing. It's fucking GTA, people will buy the fuck out of it. GTAIV was released in April 2007, btw.

[ejburke]

I 100%-ed GTA IV... I don't really want to do that again. I've been pee-shy about open world games ever since.

[Ifafudafi]

Thing is, R* as a whole already has Max Payne 3 lined up for May '12; I doubt they'd launch both heavy-hitters within the same couple of months and risk people only buying one because they can't afford both in the same narrow window. I'd put my guess toward either Fall/Winter '12 or Spring '13.

As for the game, I seem to be the only one who actually liked the more grounded and (relatively) serious direction GTA IV took; the staggering amount of detail and attention paid both to the city and its inhabitants has yet to be matched by anything other than R*'s own Red Dead Redemption imo, and fusing it with a narrative that actually has some depth, weight, and complexity turned it into my definite GOTY and one of my top three or four this generation. I can't help but feel that if they take some of that away and revert to the overall wackiness of San Andreas, contriving crazy excuses for you to do things like missions in fighter jets, it'd be something of a step back (especially since we now have Saints Row for cock-headedly-insane sandbox crime games). Not that I'd discourage them from adding all kinds of new distractions, vehicles, and content, of course; the coolest thing about SA was just how much stuff there was, and now that R* isn't bound by having to craft an entirely new next-gen engine for this one, I can't see them doing anything but that.

Of course it could just be me being haughty and avant-garde but hey what can I say

(oh and look at that moment in the trailer where the two ladies check out the shirtless dude running down the street; if that's not a scripted thing, and is instead improved AI technology at work, I may have to spend my first couple of hours with the game just standing on the street and watching people, because that kind of detail is bonkers)

E: Amit, sorry about being pedantic but it was April 2008; it was originally scheduled for Fall '07 but got delayed

[Boba]

So a jet flys by at the end, I'm pretty sure that's a good hint about having planes this time around.

if only people had taken advantage of sa:mp in its full glory with hydra and rustler dogfights

here's hoping the fighter is a f-35, and that the military is brought back (if fighters are back it has to be).

[Kornman00]

GTAIV was released in April 2007, btw.
2008*

Some people that had worked on an MP engine for SA were also trying one for JustCause2. I tried contacting them too see if I could pick it for them (JC2 is awesome, multiplayer would have been stellar), but never heard back. If I would have heard back from them, I would have got into modding that game. Did a bunch of reverse engineering for it, but stopped since the community was pretty much dry.

I still think the guy in the suit is Tommy Vercetti, its pretty good resemblance.

Recent Rockstar games have been released around 6 - 7 months after announcement, that would put May in the timezone.

I also think the guy running from the helicopter/police is an updated CJ from SA.

[Donut]

lets hope this R* game sees a PC release.

with NO FUCKING WINDOWS LIVE, KTHX. just had my first (and last) experience with GFWL and i swear to christ i will never buy a game with gfwl ever fucking again.

[Limited]

Furthering my thought on 24th May 2012 release date, I dont think its just a coincidence the guy is hammering a sign that says FOR SALE, in the same frame as that curb number (2405). You also need to remember its being developed by R* North, who use the proper time format (DD/MM/YYYY).

Also for those of you who are eagle eyed you would have spotted that the guy in the suit, is one of the robbers of the jewelry shop.

Heres a bit of trivia, the song in the video was released 24th May 1968.

Also:
8 x 3 = 24
8 - 3 = 5

Bonus for person who works out where in trailer that is, heres a hint - theres flags in the background.

LA Observatory is in Los Santos by the way.

Tommy Vercetti also says he is moving somewhere at the end of VC, perhaps he moved to SA.

The bums sign says:
Need money for
Beer, Drugs, Hooker
(Hey at least I'm not bullshittin you)

[Kornman00]

Sorry, but the real proper time format is YYYY/MM/DD, hth~

Also, GTA4 is available on Steam. I have it, but I forget, does the Steam version still use G4WL?

[Arteen]

I just hope the game is fun to play this time.

[MXC]

If that damn hispanic woman from San Andreas is back, I'm burning the disk. That character is the reason I STILL can't bring myself to put the disc back in my PS2/PS3 and finish the game.


It's a crying shame, because the rest of the game is fantastic. It's definitely my second favorite in the series, in addition to having the best soundtrack of any sandbox game I've ever played.

[Mr Buckshot]

I'll wait for good mods to appear on the PC first.

Since GTA3, I've been installing shitloads of mods on all my GTA games, mostly real-life cars, and I just can't imagine myself doing without them. The only GTA game I've played without modding is Chinatown wars on the DS. In fact, modding was what made me stick with the PC version of GTA4 despite the GFWL and other crap.

speaking of Chinatown Wars, I loved the police chase mechanics and the drug dealing system (as wrong as it sounds) and the online Ammu-Nation. Those are features I really want to see in the "full blown" version of GTA. The police chase mechanics make car chases far more intense and epic. The drug dealing system is an addictive way to earn $$$ and also encourages me to explore. The online Ammu-Nation delivery is just uber convenient. Hell, I'd buy a remake of Chinatown Wars using whatever the latest GTA engine is.

as for the trailer, I couldn't help but notice that proper randomized license plates were present on the cars.

Also, I'd like cheats to be easier to enter, instead of through the cell phone, so that my random boredom-killing rampages can last as long as in GTA3. Don't lie, I know you've all at some point loaded up a few cheat codes in GTA and gone blasting away.


Sorry, but the real proper time format is YYYY/MM/DD, hth~

Also, GTA4 is available on Steam. I have it, but I forget, does the Steam version still use G4WL?

Sadly yes. If you make an offline profile for GTA4, do NOT use it to try the multiplayer. It'll switch into an online profile with the added benefit of fucking up all your game saves.

Nevertheless, the ability to add real-life cars is what keeps me playing.

[Donut]

Also, GTA4 is available on Steam. I have it, but I forget, does the Steam version still use G4WL?
i would assume any game that uses GFWL is going to still have it on steam. it would be too awesome if it didnt.

but yeah according to steam's store page, it does use GFWL

[ejburke]

Yeah, GTA IV on Steam uses GFWL. I know because I started to play Episodes from LC at the beginning of summer. The writing and characterization is just way more obnoxious than I remember from playing the main game 3 years earlier. That's kind of scary, because that was one of the few things I felt positive about.

How are the faces looking? Everybody in GTA 4 had Ron Perlman mouth.

[MXC]

Huh, you know out of all the gameplay videos and various discussions I've watched/listened to/read, not once has GFWL popped up. You'd think it'd be brought up more.

[Donut]

its just that its fresh on my mind. bought bioshock 2 on steam, tried to play it yesterday, spent 20 minutes on the title screen while GFWL crashed 7 times, rendering the game literally unplayable "out of the box", so to speak. honestly im fucking shocked. i thought all the rumors i heard about it were exaggerated. turns out theyre not at all.

so yeah, absolutely will not buy this if it has GFWL integration unless somebody makes something to rip it out like they did with fallout 3 and GTAIV

[BobtheGreatII]

Holy crap. I haven't had a problem with GFWL ever. I rather enjoy the achievements. Across H2V, Fallout, GTA IV, Batman, Dirt 2, Etc. I haven't ever had GFWL lock up my computer.

I hate to say it, but you guys must have some horrible systems, or some really old versions of GFWL to hate it so much.


I for one support GFWL 100% in GTA V

[ejburke]

They may have been contractually obligated to use GFWL, because MS funded the GTA IV DLC episodes. I don't think the DLC sold well enough for MS to want to do that again.

I've had issues with Fallout 3 and Bioshock 2, but not GTA IV, Red Faction Guerilla, or Halo 2. Implementations and stability seems to vary by game. With Fallout 3, I can't click directly on any buttons of the GFWL interface. I have to put my cursor to the right of anything I intend to click. To this day -- with all the Live client updates and game patches. Ridiculous.

I don't mind achievements and being connected to Live, though. And there's always the chance they might get their fucking shit together.

[Mr Buckshot]

GFWL never crashed my computer at all, or even crashed the game.

It just fucked around with my save files, that's all. And it still performs like bloatware - Origin is honestly the golden standard compared to GFWL. And it requires me to install a bunch of Windows Live bloatware (related to WLM or something), the shit I normally purge out of my PC when doing a fresh install.

LIVE can stay on the Xbox where it works well and people like it. It needs to GTFO from the PC, where most of us really don't like it.

As for achievements, Steam does them pretty well. But you don't even need an external client for achievements unless you really feel the need to show off to the world that you got those achievements. What's wrong with just having an in-game page to show achievements, separate from other programs? Think something like the "Challenges" screen in COD4. Personally, I don't care for achievements unless they're for things that need you to do something crazily fun and over-the-top, for example chainsawing the tank in L4D2.

[ejburke]

Achievements aren't about showing off, it's more like a scrap book. Game installs/saves are temporary, but achievements are always right there.

This is how my penis feels about Live achievements: ==========... (you get the idea, I don't need to draw a tip, do I?)

This is how my penis feels about Steam achievements:

|____ (it's... it's hanging down and rolling across the floor)

I can't give a reason. The penis wants what the penis wants.

[Amit]

Holy crap. I haven't had a problem with GFWL ever. I rather enjoy the achievements. Across H2V, Fallout, GTA IV, Batman, Dirt 2, Etc. I haven't ever had GFWL lock up my computer.

I hate to say it, but you guys must have some horrible systems, or some really old versions of GFWL to hate it so much.



I've had nothing but good times with GFWL. Unless it's a competitive multiplayer game that requires a proper matchmaking system (if at all) I see no problem with it. I don't know any games that have their save games tied to GFWL. In fact, I had switched my offline GTA4 account to a MP one and a whopping nothing happened to my save games. So it's just some of you guys having these issues. I really like the interface too. It makes me feel special. Not the mention I can troll my friends who are on XBOX LIVE.

[Mr Buckshot]

Just discovered, the upcoming PC port of LA Noire, also a Rockstar game, isn't gonna use GFWL. Hallelujah! I hope the same applies to GTA5, and every future Rockstar PC game from now on.

As for optimizing it... I really hope they learned their lesson from the previous one. The Mafia 2 and Just Cause 2 engines are both much better looking and much better optimized.

[cheezdue]

GFWL always worked for me as well. Never had any problems with it. NEVER

[neuro]

gfwl = dealbreaker for me

-sees game is GFWL
-completely ignore game forever

not touching that junk with a 50-foot-pole

[Kornman00]

Just discovered, the upcoming PC port of LA Noire, also a Rockstar game
It's not a R* game, they only published it

[ejburke]

Yeah, but Team Bondi is completely out of the picture, so some entity at Rockstar decided that GFWL wasn't the direction they wanted to go -- possibly the same entity that will decide GTA V PC's fate.

Like I said earlier, it probably all depends on whether MS wants to fund the DLC episodes. At that point, they can insist on GFWL, so they can sell the DLC on their own marketplace.

Even though I like achievements, it's really just reserved for games that I really, really like and really, really enjoy playing. GTA doesn't really qualify as that. If there wasn't an achievement for it, I would not have bothered with completing 100% and I would not be as burned out on the franchise as I am now.

So there has been some 'new', 'leaked' information back from 4th April that I didn't hear about. Now this guy has posted a lot of quite in-depth information, but still you cant be sure if its legit.

If however, it is all correct information, then this seems like it will be the best GTA yet and Rockstar are packing that disc will tons of goodies.

http://www.nowgamer.com/news/1353074/rockstar_details_max_payne_3_crew_sizes_gta_5_feud s_rewards_and_more.html

Rockstar tells NowGamer how crews will work in both Max Payne 3 and GTA 5.

Published on May 3, 2012
Max Payne 3 and GTA 5 will both incorporate multiplayer crews containing "thousands of people," enabling large public and private groups to fight, feud and rival each other across both games, Rockstar has revealed to NowGamer.

"There are going to be two types of Crews – private crews that you and your friends can create and customise to your liking, and Rockstar-created crews that are open to everyone," Charlie Bewsher, Max Payne 3 Lead multiplayer designer told us.

"Private crews hold up to 250 members and public crews are unlimited, so thousands of people can join the same crew and start reaping the benefits."

Crews also benefit their members with in-game bonuses, Bewsher explained.

"There are also a range of in-game rewards and mechanics that impact crew cooperation –HUD identifiers, customisable emblems on in-game equipment for opponents to see, dedicated crew assist-style awards and the Crew feud mechanic to name a few.

This last one creates automatic feuds between different crews, to see which is the meanest! You may have read recently that we also announced that crews created in Max Payne 3, and any feuds you have going with other crews will be fully transferable into Grand Theft Auto V and beyond."
It sounds like Rockstar is designing the Crew system to accomodate further games after GTA 5 - as far as crews go, Bewsher added: "There’s a lot more that we haven’t talked about yet."



Sounds pretty cool, as a person whos getting both games its neat they are tying both in.

[neuro]

modacity-based crew + friends and we shall own the internets.

[DarkHalo003]

Oh my God. XBL or online will never be the same. RIP internet, Modacity is taking over online gaming. That is, if we can ever get shit setup. >_<

[jcap]

(No, really, please someone explain? idg this whole modacity + crew thing)

[BobtheGreatII]

From what I understand, we could make a Modacity gang, and Rockstar would randomly make us battle for cred and junk with other gangs or something.

[Amit]

Do you guys remember that comic where Modacity (or maybe it was H2V.net) united to destroy that evil king of halo2vista.com? Now we can have a real crew, but you know, with guns and style.

That F/A-18/F-16/F-35 hybrid gives me a boner, good job Rockstar :golfclap:
E: Those are some REALLY pretty cherry trees...

[Amit]

Doesn't look like a F-35 at all, but the F-18/F-16 is clearly there.

[nuttyyayap]

Vertical stabilizers and elevators look like F-35, though they bear a likeness to F/A-18 and F-16. The difference is subtle but there. Though with a better angle I could judge better... but when it comes down to it the F-35 looks like the bastard child of the 2.

[Amit]

The vertical stabilizers look pretty basic, like a more simplified F-16 vertical stabilizer. It's pretty hard to see that, and the elevators are almost not visible at all, so I guess we won't know for sure until more pictures are released. I was sort of hoping for a more F-15 or F-22 look since those are both of the coolest looking jets I've ever seen out of the Western World.

Wow,that looks awful. Nearly as bad as San Andreas graphics...the engine they use is really showing its age. I just hope PC releases on the same date as xbox.

[Sanctus]

Don't be a troll, it looks beautiful.

[Kornman00]

Depending on when this releases, and if the consoles come out before, this might be the first GTA game I buy on the PC first

But they tend to release on the consoles first, so I may have to stick with routine :/

[Sanctus]

Was GTA IV developed for PC as well or was it just ported?

[BobtheGreatII]

I believe it was ported. But it worked okay, only major issues seemed to be some weird incompatibilities with SLI and Crossfire along with some freaky graphics problems that eventually have gone away with newer cards.

[Warsaw]

It was ported. Its biggest downfall is how CPU-reliant is. You practically needed a quad-core CPU to play it at the time it was released.

[Kornman00]

However, with the MP3 version of the engine, the PC builds seem to be doing better. We'll see how much it lives up to that trend in a free roam setting...

[BobtheGreatII]

Yeah, Max Payne ran amazing on my PC.

(http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/45951/grand-theft-auto-v-is-coming-spring-2013.html)
Today, we're proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto V (http://www.rockstargames.com/V) is expected to launch worldwide spring 2013 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V takes place in a re-imagined, present-day Southern California in the largest and most thriving game-world we have ever created set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and for miles beyond – from the tops of the mountains to the depths of the ocean.

Starting next week November 5, 2012, Grand Theft Auto V will become available for pre-order everywhere and fans can expect a host of new information to become available in November.

Look for downloadable desktop versions of the brand new artwork above coming very soon.



Hey guys, glad to see so much enthusiasm about the release announcement. For those asking about the PC platform, we're currently focused on the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game and don't have any details to share about a PC version at this time. Anyone that continues to spam the comments section will have their commenting privileges suspended.

They are unique in that sense that, they reply on hype and any direct marketing they do. Which trust me, will ramp up to release.

Which I can understand. But I think they might be doing it a little too much this time. Remember when they would release just tiny snippets of stuff from GTA IV before it came out? Like the first teaser. People were foaming over the improved lighting and the RAGE engine. I just think they should do little stuff like that every once in awhile instead of a handful of screenshots after a year.

GTA 5 is in the new addition of Game Informer. Lots of new information.

3 protagonists
http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/6439/gtanf.jpg

You play as 3 people basically, with diverse stories and backgrounds, and over the game they come together and collaborate on certain missons. In these missions at certian points, you will be given the opportunity to select which char you want to use. So perhaps after cracking a safe in a bank job with char 1, you switch to char 2 whos at the main door just as police storm in and you can start the gun fight.


Heists
Dynamic Missions (you find a car broken down in the forest, you could simply drive past and ignore, or perhaps you try to help and that person then tries to rob you at gun point)
Scuba diving
More interactive pedestrians

Surprised they're going back to San Andreas. Figured they'd revisit Vice City.
Dan Houser (top dude at Rockstar) has said that they felt they havent finished in the LA area. Even though they've done San Andreas, LA Noire and Midnight Club LA.

He also feels LA is such a diverse area which really suits a game as it provides different areas all within a somewhat small location. Although the new GTA is bigger than GTA 4, Red Dead Redemption and San Andreas combined. I would love to see Vice City again for sure, perhaps the next one?

[Kornman00]

Maybe we'll see VC in 5? When they say "bigger" they may not be talking explicitly about the actual game world size though...

This is simply amazing. Placed my pre-order yesterday.

Game delayed for 4 months (http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/48591/grand-theft-auto-v-is-coming-9172013.html) - fuck sake.

Game should have been going gold soon, they must have known about this delay for a while now, sucks they waited so long to tell us. I think they should compensate by releasing PC version at launch.

Rockstar have been having issues for a while.
Don't forget they had one of their offices flooded during Sandy.
Atleast Rockstar has the balls to delay so they do a decent job unlike some developers.

Well, it hasn't even been officially announced yet for PC. So it's back to my original question: Y U NO PC YET GTA5?

[ODX]

Looks like GTA meets JC2. Especially that multiplayer part at the end, looks like JC2 MP haha. Except much more detailed...

Not sure if I would even want this, never got into the GTA games and I've always hated the stories. Maybe I'll try it out though, it seems like a neat game.

Yes, that includes Red Dead Redemption.

I've always hated the stories.

:roflwtf:

Even if you don't play through the story, just enjoy the nature of its sandbox environment. That's what I did with San Andreas since so many years later I couldn't bring myself to go through it. Downloaded a 100% save and off I went with the mods. GTA V is supposed to be completely open from the start, so that should be fun.

I don't see how the story in this would be much different.

I'm not doubting that the open world is fun as hell, but stories are a massive part to why I would purchase a game. I'm a peaceful guy, I like emotional stories more than entertaining ones as well. GTA to me was simply entertaining, not emotionally connecting.

Have you tried the story for any of the other games? If GTA4 is your only shot at the stories, I'd suggest going back to GTA3 or at least Vice City and start there. Vice City hooked me.

Same (Destiny doesn't count since I preordered it before GTA comes out :p). I got the new Splinter Cell, Saints Row, and Rocksmith on Steam. I gave up on Bandfuse. The fact that it's been delayed twice and is coming out in 'the fall' but there's no way to preorder yet doesn't give me any faith in the brand. So fuck that console only noise.

Depending on how fucking good GTA5 is, I may switch to PC when they release for it. If it's just a port though, I'll wait until a Steam sale (prob 2015).

[El Lobo]

Holy fuck at the multiplayer aspect. Wow.

[MXC]

I'm not sure about the multiplayer, I mean I'm sure it'll be awesome, but finding people to play sandbox games with seems to be the hardest damned thing out there for me.


Also for some reason, doing stupid stuff in GTA games just makes me feel guilty, I get too attached to the main character.

[Kornman00]

Well, there are three of them from the start this time, I'm sure you'll be like "pffft, gon' go hook some hookers, then kill them to get my monies back, then car surf because...reasons" with one. Hell, maybe the redneck one. Since that kinda fits his you know...character :-3

[Amit]

Trevor is going to be my throwaway character. Franklin is black, so he's my go to gangsta. Michael is going to be my main (if the game allows it) because he looks like the main character. I think of him as an older Tommy Vercetti and the most important of the bunch. Of course once the mods start flowing it won't matter which one I'll be playing since I'll be changing the player models out for military-based ones.

Pretty much. Had to wait about 20mins or so for it to install disc 1 (360). Then it seemed to take another 2min+ to load the game after that (I'm assuming it was finalizing install). At least with Steam they'll probably give you the option to 'preload'.

[PlasbianX]

So.. anyone see the ingame xbox store? I haven't been able to find anything online, but I feel this game is going to have microtransactions.

[Kornman00]

Just a heads up, the third and final triathlon will take you at least 26mins (the world record as of last night). Took me 29 or so. 8:20 swimming, then I think the cycling lasted 10mins (I fell down twice), the rest is running.

How the fuck this shit, or at least something that takes almost 30mins of smashing fucking A, made it into the game is beyond me

about half a mile or so north of chiliad creek (which is just north of the military base), there's a gated off compound
the door is impenetrable, but you can get in by janking your way around the back up the hillside or by parachuting in

inside the compound are a bunch of old men, most of which have absolutely no pants on and their dicks hanging in full view

I don't know whether I should take pictures or fuck off out of there immediately

I only played with the Option C ending so far. Was alright, felt nice to tie up those 'lose ends' that had been hanging the characters out

Also, either character has only 25% of the wealth (at the end) needed to buy the 150mil place...and you don't keep the money from replays (even when playing a heist a different way)...either they are serious about the ingame economy (fuck stocks) or they have some heist DLC in the works

Also, you can evade the cops by hiding in the bushes? Fucking. Awesome.

No. Its the point I've mentioned twice in this thread that nobody has picked up on. The game will be introducing microtransactions in the future to purchase ingame money. Thats why they limit how much you can get right now.

Sorry, but I don't find "Confirmed: The game is getting microtransactions. ", especially uncited, to be something to 'pick up on'. Maybe next time include a link to whatever spout you're pouring information from so others can get informed on the details instead of just a broad statement.

My bad, I assumed everyone and their mother had seen it on every news site reporting anything on GTA. Here's one of the images:

http://cdn.themis-media.com/media/global/images/library/deriv/601/601983.png

A guy on Reddit discovered a file from the store section of the GTAV menu (which is currently empty if you try and view it) that mentions something called "Cash Cards." This XML file mentions downloadable content from the game's special editions, as well as four "Cash Cards" ranging from $100,000 to $1,250,000.

Here's the description:

"Cash is king in this town. Solve your money problems and help get what you want across Los Santos and Blaine County with the purchase of cash packs for Grand Theft Auto Online," reads a description of the cards. "All purchased cash is automatically deposited into your character’s bank account. Spend wisely, cash therapy is fleeting."

[CabooseJr]

Getting 100% in GTA V is a way too easy this time around. You don't have to do everything and you only have to do half of the stuntjumps/knife fights/under the bridge challenges, plus you get a nice little checklist in the game and on http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/career/checklist

[Kornman00]

Other than that 150mil asset, wtf else would you need to buy GTA money for?

[PenGuin1362]

Not sure why this is an issue. If someone wants to spend the extra money, let them. No one's saying you have to.

Option badass is far more entertaining than the other two, they're depressing as fuck.

I started buying properties in vague hopes of being able to earn enough but i think we're waiting for something to release in the near future to enrich the content just out of reach right now

My roommate just got this game shipped today, but I've been working on schoolwork as well as swimming/trainers (elbow and knee shit, meh), therefore haven't had a chance to play it. It'll be my first GTA game that I'll have started and played through myself, unlike little tidbits of GTA IV that I've played. Rather you guys not tell me anything, wanna see how a blind perspective works when playing this game.

In regards to my "hatred" towards GTA, I'm keeping an open mind. Guess I'll try to enjoy this, although the crack-addict or whatever guy will probably get on my nerves. Meh, I'll update eventually.

[Kornman00]

Not touching this fucking game until that patch their bullshit. Fucking christ R*, we waited an extra two weeks, on top of an extra season delay, for this broken shit? I'd rather have you focus on co-op than this MMO-type shit which you apparently can't handle.

[ODX]

Kornman it's only the first day of the service. Aside from tons of technical/server issues that Rockstar has warned about already, the gameplay probably still needs tweaking and all that. Whatever it is, I haven't played yet obviously. The idea and such seems like it could be tons of fun though, unless it's just you running around in the city with buds ala JC2, no missions or anything to do.

[Kornman00]

So, would you be defending 343i if they, a week before MP came out, which is two weeks after the actual game came out, said that 'please excuse our dust, MP might be completely broken when we open the MP doors'?

I hope they fire their QA deptartment http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2013/10/01/gta-online-corrupting-gta-v-save-files/

edit: http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2013/10/01/grand-theft-auto-online-launch-fiasco-five-of-the-worst-video-game-launches-on-record/


“One thing we are already aware of, and are trying to alleviate as fast as we can, is the unanticipated additional pressure on the servers due to a significantly higher number of players than we were anticipating at this point,”
That's funny, seeing as how they knew damn well how many individual units they sold plus had two weeks to gauge how many people would be ready for Online via R* social.

[ODX]

The analogy is a little bad, since 343i worked closely with Microsoft and already had Halo's own experience of servers and such to go off of.

Rockstar is, or as far as I know aside from that little minor GTA IV online thing, trying something a little more new. And given the ridiculous demand from some millions of players, anyone's servers would be crippled. They had to open MP sometime though and work on the real world situation rather than making assumptions and working off of those.

In a sense, it's a beta right now. I don't see why you would expect much.

[PlasbianX]

Another title update for tomorrow has been announced by Rockstar to fix the problems.

[Champ]

PS3 got their title update. No update for the 360 yet.

[El Lobo]

I'm on 360 and it's finallyyyyy working for me. This shit is amazing...haven't had this much fun gaming in awhile.

[Kornman00]

So I spent 205k$ on an apartment

So I was told, after this, my progress would be automatically saved after going back into story mode

So I started a friends-only session from story mode to get away from fucktard randoms who can fuck off and fuck themselves

So apparently I never bought that apartment nor earned 205k$

This game needs a huge BETA sign.

[PlasbianX]

Fix to address the issue where players were stuck launching a session before the Mall or Nothing race in the online tutorial.
Fix to address an issue where bank & cash were deleted incorrectly in some cases.
Fix to address incorrect amounts of cash being dropped when the player dies in Missions and Last Team Standing.
Fixes an issue where the Character Switch Wheel would disappear after a failed load.
Fixes an issue where attempting to enter GTA Online via the Character Switch Wheel caused a black screen.
Fixes an issue where temporary characters were overwriting main characters.
Fixes an issue where players were losing apartments and the money they spent on them.
Fixes an issue that caused Story Mode missions to be missed in some instances.
Removes the autosave that occurred when transitioning into GTA Online from within GTAV Story Mode to prevent the chance of Story Mode saves becoming corrupted.
Several tweaks to GTA Online including improving overall stability.

I heard this was a good game, so I stole it.

From my brother.

I know, right? Can't wait until it finally comes out of beta! IE, 3 months after the PC version is released and patched.

[Kornman00]

Before the latest patch I think I can only recall once where the game froze the entire xbox on me. Since the patch there's been almost 5 times were it's froze everything. This last time it was kind enough to continue to play the radio :ugh:

Actaully, it wasn't a bad radio station, but I found it funny.

[BobtheGreatII]

I haven't had it freeze my xbox. But since the latest patch, I'm getting dropped from a lot more games. I wish when it crashed, it would just load a new online game, instead of dropping me in to singleplayer.

[Kornman00]

Yeah, I've got "you were kicked by other players" a couple of times after coming back from a mission (smooth, R*, real smooth). REALLY shitty that it flushes you back into story mode. Really gets you pissed off when you're playing with friends. Makes you want to toss the game in the toilet.

[Tnnaas]

I hate the comments of the NPCs in this game. I mean, why do they have to shame me for being sexually curious?! There's nothing wrong with sucking a couple of cocks in your lifetime. Hell, you give one guy head, just to see how it's like, and the world decides to hit you over the head with it until the end of time.

Oh, and stop saying I look like a tranny. I'm well aware of that fact, and this time I can legitimately blame my genes. :v:

[Kornman00]

I smell DLC

The Ballad of Sexually Curious Nne Ya Tano

[Tnnaas]

You don't know the half of it.

ALSO! Dupe your cars today for the low-low price of... insurance! I duped my Dominator for about $437 by accident and now I don't know what to do. :B

http://puu.sh/52AqH.png

[Kornman00]

Try selling it?

Also, did you dupe it by ending a mission while still in it? That's the only way I know how to dupe a vehicle (well, someone else's anyway)

[Tnnaas]

After the mission with the hijacking of the helicopter, the one you left that I passed, I drove my Granger into the back of a Titan and blew it up (totes accident). I called the insurance company and it had the option for both my Granger and my Dominator, so I got both because I thought the Dominator was also destroyed. Apparently it wasn't, so I got a second one. vOv

EDIT: I sold the duped one for $22,400. I certainly got my money back from it. :3

[Tnnaas]

Dear Rockstar:

Please give us an option to turn off calls/block callers. I don't want to hear Simeon or Lamar request something or Lester to creepily talk to me. It gets even more obnoxious when Dom and Brucie won't shut up. :v:

[Kornman00]

Rockstar is apparently still trying to fix their cloud problems (or whatever is causing items to get lost in the sauce). Just replay the story like me and save all your money until the very end, holding off on assassination missions so that you can bank it all on stock. That should hold you over until Online becomes mildly interesting again (stimulus, heists, new weapons, etc).

It's too bad you can't put any junk in the truck of a Titan with them assploding. Too bad the cargo plane doesn't spawn in MP, would like to test putting stuff in that.

[TeeKup]

If you buy a Titan you can fit 16 people in it.

If you buy a Titan you can fit 16 people in it.

No need to buy it when it always spawns in the same spot. Its not a matter of 16 people though, its the point of having a car in the aircraft.

[TeeKup]

The one that spawns though can only hold 2 people though :/ Its a shame the Cargobob stops spawning after a certain level.

[Kornman00]

1) Just like the cargobob, the Titan stops spawning after a certain level
2) I don't care about peeps. I want to put junk in its trunk and fly around all troll like

3) I finished replaying the game the other day. Ended with a little over 2bil in M's account, and 1.8bil in F/T's accounts. Only thing I ever bought during the story was the mod shop with F (for modding a car for the last job). Never bought ammo or upgrades. Saved it all for assassination missions and stock

[Tnnaas]

I wouldn't even know what to do with almost $6bil in the story mode. :B

EDIT: Also, we need to get as many people as possible and see how many players we can fit in TeeKup's shower (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ya1BC9l3Gpc).

[Kornman00]

Buy all the clothes, vehicles, upgrades, ammo, car mods, properties. Have 5.8bil left. Leaving you with enough change to die a 1.1mil times (5k per death).

It'd be cool to fill an invite only server up with nothing but modacity & friends. We could have a rave in teekup's apartment, then all of us could hit the showers to get cleaned up before raiding the military base (which probably only two of us would survive, but hey. well, unless the 1v1 deathmatch bug still works)

[Tnnaas]

So Rockstar finally gave me, and I'm sure most other players, the half-mil they said they were giving away and a fun little message saying "$500,001 is now in your bank." The "and 1" makes me laugh.

Can you replay individual missions and earn money from them, or does that only let you try to get a higher score?

[Kornman00]

You can't get money from replaying old missions. AFAIK, you retain your stats/weapons/ammo still when you go back and play though.

I went to go pick up some bread and water at Walmart. Turns out my car wouldn't start, so I had to get a ride back home. I was away for over three hours, I came back, and my character is still curled up in the fetal position wondering when it is going to recieve human contact again.

Can't get kicked for idling. :D

[Kornman00]

let's get 16 people and cram them all into teekup's shower, then bed

[CabooseJr]

I want to cram my rhino in the shower.

[Tnnaas]

I met someone in a mission with a rank of 300, probably through hacking I would imagine. I heard that the highest rank was 120, or something like that, though it brings an interesting thought. If higher ranks could be achieved, might they be unlocked later, perhaps through DLC?

Doesnt really take hacking, if there's no ceiling. You can easily get 70,000 rp in an hour with one mission.

[Kornman00]

What mission would that be :raise:

[Tnnaas]

Wow, the Rhino tank is weak in story mode. I have unarmored cars in multiplayer that are tougher than it. 0/10 not worth the investment.

[PlasbianX]

What mission would that be :raise:

American Dream. Race lasts about a minute and twenty seconds, first place gets ~10k in cash, 2nd ~6k, 3rd ~4k or so, etc. Don't remember the exact amount of RP, but it took like 4 races if that to get from 38->39

[Kornman00]

Oh, those types of missions. I was thinking jobs. I blame the name mixing in story and in online.

@Tano, that's why you finish the game with >1bil, so the purchase means nothing. Also, at least story has cheats...so you can be invincible for all of 5mins at a time or something.

Don't listen to Caboose, he was telling me last night he lost his collection.

Hoping this is the right account. DX
It's great that we have the means to confirm/deny liars on the internet in this day and age. :v:

[CabooseJr]

Don't listen to Caboose, he was telling me last night he lost his collection.You lying brit. I still got my tourbus and bulldozer through. :cop:

But there's always a silver lining.

If only Rockstar listed all drivable vehicles as potentials in the garage. Some would finally be able to see their tourbuses and bulldozers.

I almost destroyed my GTA V disk last night. I had a wireless controller hooked up with the 'plug & play' cable and my cat clotheslined herself, taking the console with her. Disk got scratched up beyond playability, so I took it in for a quick cleaning this morning. All's good now. Maybe I'll even be able to play on my own console!

If I have one complaint anymore, it's Microsoft not doing the safety feature - the breakaway section for the cable - with the original Xbox's corded controllers on the Xbox 360 peripherals. Running critters and curious children can destroy your games and system! But that's a different topic for a different thread.

Why invest R&D into a break way cable when you have probably the greater majority of your user base using wireless? As much as I miss them too, I look at it from this perspective.

Hey guys, make any new races with GTA's content creator?

Oh wait

Spoiler: GTA5's engine is actually Halo5's

In other news, GTASA is coming to mobile this winter: http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/51870/grand-theft-auto-san-andreas-mobile-coming-this-december.html. Also, they actually have a black friday sale in-game online lol http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/51875/holiday-weekend-discounts-in-gta-online-turkey-shoot-black-frida.html

[Tnnaas]

The Content Creator is said to come out sometime this week (http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/51955/gta-online-update-free-deathmatch-race-creators-this-week-captur.html). They wanted it released as early as today, but I haven't seen it yet.

GTA Online Heists come out next year though. I would guess maybe February or early March.

[Tnnaas]

Can we do heists yet?

[Kornman00]

No, but you have a another free DLC pack, released on v-day http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/

yay.

[Tnnaas]

I haven't been following any news about this game. Can we do heists yet?

[Kornman00]

Nope. Rockstar is holding it hostage until the end of spring.

My money is on them fucking annoucing that shit next week at E3, possibly with a next-gen version of the game (unconfirmed) and story mode DLC (confirmed to be in the works in a old newswire post IIRC), and the heist DLC actually coming out the very last day of sping.

Basically, what we've been playing this entire time was a beta of the actual game which will be coming out for PS4/XBO/PC later this year

Good thing I'm not the one in my house who bought the game. :realsmug:

[PlasbianX]

The leaks that have been posted so far, and so far have been almost spot on about things, say that a next gen version will be announced during Sony's press conference.

[Cortexian]

And PC version when?

After The Division comes out? Welp.

[PlasbianX]

Along with the next gen versions.

You know what's great about Rockstar PC games? They don't poison players with uplay. Sorry for your loss (http://www.ibtimes.com/tom-clancys-division-release-date-delayed-what-will-ubisoft-unveil-e3-1594350), freelancer. Guess u-won't-play still :mech2:

Why you even weigh the two against each other is beyond me.

[Amit]

They did force us to use RockStar Social Club and Games for Windows LIVE with GTA4, though. There was a fix to remove xlive from the game, but it's still not a perfect solution.

[=sw=warlord]

I guess Korn won't be playing after he swore to never touch an Ubisoft game again when he played Splintercell :mech:

[Amit]

GTA5 PC confirmed. But for fall? Hmm, well I guess that's to be expected considering how much they need to upscale/improve for the next-gen/PC versions. Although, one should think they'd create the nice looking assets first (pretty sure they did since we saw them in the reveal trailer) and then downgrade them for older shit.

[=sw=warlord]

You would think so but they're Scottish.
They don't believe in devolution.:haw:

[Kornman00]

What's that? GTA5 has new DLC (http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/52264/The-GTA-Online-I-m-Not-a-Hipster-Update-Is-Now-Available)?

Oh, but it doesn't include heists? Or even mention them? Gaaaaaaaaaaay

[Kornman00]

GTAO Heists, the new DNF? http://games.on.net/2014/06/gta-onlines-heists-delayed-taking-longer-to-create-than-anticipated/

I'm really curious as to what made them think, back when the trailer before the release was put out that online heists were a workable thing. And what has since made them realize that, 'damn, we need more time to make them work...more time than we thought after we initially thought about thinking about thoughts'

:\

[Amit]

It would seem that a lack of forethinking got them to the position their in. What is so special about heists anyway? Makes the MP worthwhile?

[Kornman00]

I take it you have not played the story?

If they do MP heists like story, then it will require multiple jobs/missions prior to the actual 'job' itself. Think of it sorta like Invasion. You do a couple of objectives to get to the main objective that you must get away with. However, you wouldn't do it all in one sitting.

Also, I didn't realilze until yesterday when I played the weekend event (2nd time ever doing so) that Job Points are actually used to gauge who wins a multi-job event/playlist. I just thought they were there to make people go "hmmmmmmuhhhhhhhokay". Obvious now when you realize the max points you ever get from a single job is 16, same as max players.

GTA currently console scum exclusive = 0 hours gameplay

Between this coming to PC and the hopes that Destiny will follow too, I won't need my Xbox 360 for anything except age-old matches in Halo 3.
