stuart scott irl posted: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 I don't know what the gently caress that other guy is talking about but when you finish any mission with different options the other options show up under the mission replay menu. When you replay a heist they make you re-do the decisions board but when you're done they pop you directly into the Heist instead of the prep missions.

All for being different but what's wrong with sliders and pulldowns for appearance and a clear weighted system for stats ? Spent over an hour in character creation trying to get a feel for what options to what both in terms of appearance and stats and this thing is the most obtuse and non transparent and just puzzling way of creating a character ive ever seen in a game.

Rockstars usually pretty open about their own "fuckups" (even if this one isn't entirely their fault in the, "so many people just want to play" department), if they just came out and said, "look, we can clear this up, but just slow down your login attempts for a while, let us fix it." The amount of people who see, much less follow, that advice would be completely negligible.

So since I'm a XBL Free member, I don't get GTA Online until the free Gold weekend, but apparently the update DOES allow me to take selfies now!

That's what every developer has to deal with. There isn't an easy solution other than A) wait it out or B) turn off all access and slowly roll it out. Neither is going to please your fans but like 95% don't give a poo poo by next week.

Since Online is down, I'm taking the opportunity to complete the Epsilon missions which I had forgotten to complete. Man, that survey was hilarious, especially because I used to work for a company that used a Scientologist based management solution. "Do your checks clear?" and Credit Rating being part of the pie graph were spot on and I laughed heartily at those.

I managed to get into a solo session without having to go through that mandatory race on PS3. I had to create a new character, it said the Rockstar cloud servers weren't online, and it just dumped my player beneath some overpass with $10,000. No starting cutscene with Lamar, either.

High shooting skill means you can take blind shots reliably, so maybe that'll be The Thing for online and getting started in it. Concentrate points in Partying and Illegal activities for that, while not putting points in Sports and Friend&Family which detracts from shooting.

For the Atomic Blimp, when you call to get it delivered, does it only deliver to certain locations? Or does it just take a while to deliver? I'm on the beach right now and I called for one a few minutes ago and they said they'd deliver it but I haven't seen it yet. I've tried a couple other times before, too, and I've never actually gotten to use it yet.

Equal points into Legal and Illegal Activities- no idea what that did all I know is I was kind of sad that Red Dead Guy had to be my Dad.

Yeah it's a big loving blimp so it can only get delivered to certain locations, look for the blimp icon on your map after you call.

I'm trying to start that obligatory race that introduces you, but it just says "Launching session" in the corner, and it's been stuck for there for like 15 minutes. How long should I wait until I give up and restart?

So the first thing that happens in Online is you get in a race, right? First it asked me if I wanted to spectate, and when I said no it kicked me back to the "get a car from some dude" animation, only now it's cut to a shot of the LS skyline and hardlocked my 360. Wow.

I got into a game this way too, and it's a ton of fun even knowing it won't be saving this character. Best thing so far: drive up to people on a motorcycle and blast the horn until they get on, then drive around giving everyone else the finger together.  Dumbest thing so far: getting killed and having your killer immediately activate Passive Mode.

PS3 Online review. After what felt like forever I managed to make a character I was happy with and actually save it without the game deleting it. Loaded up "solo session" from the pause menu of single player and watched the cutscene. World loads up, character auto-walks up to the start point for the race All Or Nothing. Ai car pulls up, music starts then... "Failed to join Job or Activity. Return to GTA Online." and then "There has been an error in joining a session. Please return to GTA V." I'm going to bed in the hopes by that by this time tomorrow thing will be slightly better. Overly optimistic, I know. Hamburlgar fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Oct 1, 2013 |

So anyone want to help me out since the internet is about as reliable as Middle School when it comes to information about the game- which garages are safe and which ones are not? Also any information on how to have parent options other than John Cowboy would be nice.

They screwed with garages with the online patch, so there's no guarantee any known info about garages is correct anymore. The 4 slot dedicated garages always seemed to work fine for me.

It's kinda fun in single player where I can spent a lot of time hosing the general area with my Combat MG and enjoy bullet riddled cop cars - but in terms of general useability compared to other console shooters Free Aim seems like an afterthought.

I'm loving online so far. The only thing that pissed me off was that when you're told to find a car and go to LS customs (to make it your default car) I only saw Sabers and those ugly box SUVs. I rode around forever and that's all there was. Anyone else have that problem? Feel like I'm gonna be stuck with my saber for a while
