I am mad that a service which was free that came with a game I have received hours of enjoyment from is not working. On a SP note, two questions: With Trevor and the cult missions- I took the couple to the hotel and not the cult, is there a way to activate the quests again ? And in regards to the "lets hang out" missions, do they provide anything aside from more background story ? I took a few days break from the game (just now getting to the FIB missions) and figure beating the story mode will tide me over until they get the launch issues fixed.

I just walked into ammunation and bought a parachute. The guy walks off the side of the screen as if he's grabbing it off the wall... And never comes back. I'm completely stuck now.

DrNutt posted:Hmm yes a great explanation and at the same time it's a 'gently caress the consumer over for a few extra bucks' decision so it's great that so many in this thread are frothing at the mouth to chastise people for being frustrated that they can't play a huge portion of the game they paid 60 bucks for. When those people have already played the game for 80 hours then the complaint loses its damning effect.

Aphrodite posted:That's not accurate though. Buying more servers would solve the problem. It will just leave you with a lot of unnecessary servers afterwards, Having more servers ahead of time might be helpful, but I'm talking about solutions right this moment. It's not like they can just walk to the server store, buy some servers and plug them into an ethernet cable and magically all of the problems are fixed like so many internet retards think.

DrNutt posted:How is this possible? APB is terrible in pretty much every way. I think the joke here is that APB's service is currently more stable/reliable than GTA:O's  Though as soon as Rockstar fixes the problems it'll be the other way around again. APB is still a heaping pile of poo poo.

Something tells me a lot of Rockstar employees are going to be getting a nice hefty check of overtime pay. I know I sure as hell wouldn't want to be dealing with the colossal amount of poo poo they're diving into right now to get it working properly.

I didn't see this posted, but can you go to North Yankton outside of the story? Also, holy hell GTA online is literally the most broken thing I've ever seen, not that it's really surprising but wow literally nothing seems to work and it looks like absolute poo poo.

Can't they rent some servers from Amazon EC2 or some other cloud type servers for a while? (please don't yell at me if this is stupid  )

(please don't yell at me if this is stupid Yeah I feel like the Elastic Cloud could probably help them here, but also I have no idea what those words mean. I'm probably just gonna hold off till everything is working well (a day or three from now). I don't think there's any way for a launch like this to go well, I mean you can do beta testing all you want but you can't really prepare for hundreds of thousands of real players slamming your poo poo at the same time.

JGBeagle posted:I assumed "Quicksave" meant what it meant on older games, you quicksaved and quit to the main menu so you load right back up from your break which would delete said file. If this is not the case I'm pretty sure it's too late for me to give a drat and replay the torture mission for the fourth loving time. When has "quicksave" ever meant this? Off the top of my head I can't think of a single game where quick saving exits to the main menu. At best, quick save is a button you press in many games that saves into a file that you can quick load later. Every time you quick save, it replaces the last one. That's not what it means in GTAV, but I've never heard of what you're talking about.

That's not what it means in GTAV, but I've never heard of what you're talking about. Almost every handheld game and a significant number of console games that have a "quicksave" feature use it to mean what he was referencing. It's designed to let you save the game when you have to turn it off real quick, not as a replacement for "normal" saves. In this game it functions like a normal save you can use anywhere, so it makes the normal save completely pointless.

Online is pretty fun but a little too chaotic. It took me like 15 minutes just to change my clothes so I could progress through the game. Seems like you die a little too fast. Whats the cheapest property you can buy?

Just to bring up my point again. I created a character, server crashed trying to load the first race. When I reconnected I had a bald gently caress with headphones as my character. How to I change it?

I know I sure as hell wouldn't want to be dealing with the colossal amount of poo poo they're diving into right now to get it working properly. They're actually not really doing anything, though, right? I mean, I know they say "we're working on it" but it seems like the commonly accepted theory is that they let this happen on purpose to save money on servers. The full extent of their efforts seems to be waiting for the player population to die down.

It's not like they can just walk to the server store, buy some servers and plug them into an ethernet cable and magically all of the problems are fixed like so many internet retards think. If you built your platform with the idea of being able to virtualize it, why wouldn't you be able to just purchase more instances from your hosting provider? Like, that's the whole idea of cloud computing and the endless virtualization datacenter consolidation bullshit that's been happening since 2010. "Hey Amazon / Rackspace, I just purchased 100 more VM instances and I plan to bring them online, thanks." Thats about the extent of the work needed to buy 100 server instances. Also you aren't stuck with them because you can then call them up next month and go "Hey Amazon / Rackspace, I'm reducing the amount of VMs I rent from you this month from 500 to 400." The last piece of the puzzle is making sure the clients / consoles are pointing to an updatable list of IPs rather than a hardcoded one, but that's a really, really easy problem to solve in a ton of ways, so you can pretty much pick your preference.

Does anyone know how to get past the bit where lester tells you to catch that police van? Most of the time, the thing doesn't show up on the minimap for ages, so you're driving around, then it shows up and you've no idea how to get to it because the road system is spagetti, then random cars get in your way or crash into you on purpose and you shoot the drivers, and the mission's failed. On the two occasions I actually managed to stop the truck, either the police shot me because I couldn't get into cover on time, or I spent twenty minutes driving round and round the city trying to evade the police before being caught, I couldn't find anywhere to evade them.

Bro Nerd Alpha posted:With Trevor and the cult missions- I don't think random events repeat, unless it's a generic robbery or mugging. Fear not though, there's plenty of other hitchhiker random events for Trevor to sell to the Altruists. If you come across a hitchhiker as Michael or Franklin, simply drive away and come back as Trevor.

If I want to replay the final mission to see how it would've gone if I didn't pick option C, can I do that without screwing up my completed single player save? How does that work

You shouldn't expect massive online games to work on launch day. That's been a fact of life for as long as I've been gaming online (15 years) and it's never, ever going to change. If you don't know much about IT and don't understand why they don't just buy hundreds of extra servers that will only be used for 24 hours, that's fine. But if you're still angry about something that is an unavoidable fact of online gaming then you might just be an idiot man-child.

Man this character creation is bad, I don't understand how they could of thought this was a good idea. Does anyone know if the lifestyles affect what kind of cloths or hairstyles your character can buy once you get past the tutorial?

Naw you're an idiot manchild because you're complaining about something that's probably gonna be fine forever by Monday, something that is a bonus or addendum to a fully-fledged GTA game with more content than GTA4 and easily 50+ hours of singleplayer content just in missions and minigames and poo poo not counting the sandbox fuckery, something Rockstar said outright would not be day and date with the game. You also aren't wrong that it's weird how defensive goons get when you say "maybe the corporation should spend some of the hundred billion cartoon dollars they made and are going to make on this to ensure their product works instead of shrugging and 'shifting the launch day burden to the consumer'". It is possible for an argument to make everyone in it look petty, childish, and ugly.

What I find hilarious in all this is the ingame radio commercial making fun of cloud computing when cloud computing is part of the issue here....wait could all this be intentional? Could this be Rockstars ULTIMATE joke on us? My God....it's....it's genius.
