I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

I didn't realize you could actually get the characters together for a rampage or just dicking around. Every time I call them I get blown off. Lamar is the only one I've been able to hang with.

And if they can patch in/DLC heritage characters can't they also make the granny pics bigger and easier to see? It's a dumb system but being able to clearly see the faces would make it somewhat less dumb.

Who cares what the grannies look like, focus on how your character looks and how the various options changes their appearance.

Whoever is responsible for the cop chase Trevor transition needs to be loving sawed in half by a train in front of his children. Now I have to redo that loving assassination, because BAWSAQ ate all my money when I reloaded the autosave after it turned into four stars, I died and the stock crashed again. Goddamnit.

And Rockstar's servers will probably go down in the meantime. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Yea that boned me on the stocks once as well. It's cool to see that transition maybe once or twice, but now about 1/5 times switching to Trevor, I have to ditch 2-star cops first. Gets irritating when you just want to do something specific.

Also apparently Michael is a perfect dad post-ending. Always watching TV with the kids, having sex with his wife or dropping her off somewhere.

This is the dumbest thing about GTA: Online I've heard. Why don't they just force people to use auto-aimfree aim in online gameplay? Lock-on targeting has absolutely zero place in PvP gameplay.

Exactly. I just assumed you'd be able to play in a lobby without auto aim. Why the gently caress would you even bother with deathmatch? I'm just going to stick with driving around I guess.

Awesome, xbox live has decided now is the time to make me enter a third (!!!) contact e-mail/phone and then not send me the verification number. I've tried several different ones and now I have to go to bed.

Thanks for making it easy to cancel live and go back to PS, MS.

Yeah, this has happened to me twice now. Luckily the verification stuff didn't seem to be necessary as it let me login without it fine.

I really hate dealing with Xbox lives account/billing system, it is seriously the most hosed up poorly designed buggy unreliable confusing shitfucked piece of software and systems ever. I'm talking all of it, the website, the stuff on the console. Everything. Ever try dealing with payment or credit card issues with live? I hope not because it is the biggest pain in the rear end.

Rockstar couldn't avoid this unless they rolled it out slowly via a closed beta. If they did that they'd get just as much flak.

If a company like Blizzard can't handle first day influx then you can't expect Rockstar to do any better with the world's fastest selling game ever. Literally everyone and their mother is trying to play GTA Online right now.

Let me guess, because the single player was so awful and low effort and lacking in anything you would consider fun that you're thinking about trading this game in for Sleeping Dogs or Saints Row 4?

This game would have sold a ton of copies without online features luring buyers. I wonder if they should have kept it a secret and enjoyed a very long beta test and load test while the rest of us happily enjoyed the single player. And then they announce it while we already have been playing the single player game a bit.

Ah well.

I know quite a few friends that got the game purely for multiplayer. I think Rockstar had a good business strategy hyping up the multiplayer aspect, considering they probably put in as much effort into it as the single player game.

The only thing I don't understand is that they spent 5 years making the game, only to release it 2 months before next gen consoles. As a result Gta v for 360/ps3 will have a drastically diminished player base in a few months.

So was there a series of meetings at Rockstar where a team of important people sat down to figure out a character customization system and the consensus was limited grandma simulator? It seems like an odd choice.

Will there be DLC grandmas for more character building options?

I'm under the assumption that they simply didn't want people making wonky looking characters, as it might gently caress with immersion. So we're left with everyone looking like slight variations of each other...

Hey, you guys can keep repeating this as much as you want and it doesn't change the fact that Rockstar dropped the ball on this. It's been hours since there's been an update and they pretty much just shut down all online components of the PS3 version. So even the single player stuff like BAWSAQ stocks are hosed.

you gotta make like 25k for the cheapest garage, but then there's a free sportscar you can order off the luxury automobile website. I don't really like the handling but it gets up to 200mph and once the suspension is lowered it will probably be awesome.

I was able to get past that horrible introduction race with Lamar and it through me into a group with 3 other pubbies. I was riding shotgun in some rear end in a top hat's pink car and, upon realizing he was driving other players on some sort of mission, he engaged troll mode. Swerving all over the road, running into cars/walls, and ignoring the objective entirely. Tired of his bullshit, we all got out and started legging it to the mission start point. We managed to get a few feet from it when the pink bastard came flying around the corner and ran us all over.

This game is going to be fun.
