Yay, I just got the missing cars bug. Somehow a car a deleted a few days ago is the only one in my garage and I lost my jeep and other car that I'd painted crew color. That sucks.

I somehow lost on wave 8 of a survival match without dying. Full health, no death animation, just stopped abruptly and said FAILED. When it booted me from the survival match, I was in my car, which was oscillating rapidly inside a shipping crate. When I got out of the car, it propelled the crate six or seven yards until it hit a flatbed trailer and then stopped. After five minutes or so, the car managed to extricate itself.

Am I safe in assuming this isn't a feature?

After tooling around downtown, I stumbled across a goon and some other person trying to kill each other. I at least hope it was a nice surprise for them when I turned the corner into their alleyway and tried to squash the pubbie.


I got blown up shortly thereafter, it turns out those things aren't very maneuverable.

That was me! My friend and I were screwing around and destroying each other's personal vehicles when your giant truck came and stole the show. Did that just spawn somewhere or do you have to buy it?

Yea it was great until the recipe for the most irritating race ever:

1. GTA Race
2. Long point to point.
3. Coupes.
4. Police on.

But I got some footage I guess. Here's the video stream in its unedited entirety: http://www.twitch.tv/jerkstoresup/b/471454247

I'll pick the best bits out for a video, or if there's not enough good footage, save it for a future goon highlight reel.

I grabbed it up at the Davis Quartz quarry just to the Southeast of Sandy Shores. It only goes like 10 miles an hour so it takes a while to get back to civilization.

I was disappointed to find out that the ladders and stuff are just for show, it would be great if you could have people climb up on it and man those platforms and walkways with crew members.

So to anyone caught in bad sport hell, does bad sport status follow you from character to character? I just started my second character and was wondering if I should play him as a total supervillian.

The second-generation Pontiac Sunbird, introduced by the automaker for the 1982 model year as the J2000, was built to be an inexpensive and fuel-efficient front-wheel-drive commuter car capable of seating five.

Offensive Clock
Man, I'm really glad I took advantage of the glitch to bank up a lot of cash, what with the apparent reduction of all mission cash rewards in half. I know a lot of people wonder what the point of playing is if you cheat yourself all the money you'd ever need, but not everyone is the same when it comes to enjoying games. Constantly wondering about how I can max my cash per hour and crap like that is too close to actual work or MMO bullshit for me to ever be able to have fun.

GTA should be mix/max and grindy mmo style bullshit free. I just want freedom to go around and shoot a mans, race, or fly, or do fun missions without worrying about my bank roll and whether or not I'm making the most out of time played financially. It really should be a bit more arcade-y than it is -- it's not exactly playing to the strengths of the franchise in my opinion, at least.

As it is now, I can just go around and do whatever the gently caress I want that is fun and varied, without worrying about running out of cash because any death will wipe away 2 missions worth of effort instantly. Or thinking about how I'd be much better off, money wise, by just running the same boring mission over, and over again. Such bullshit.

I time my starts to T-Bone the next nearest racer :shobon: Rubbin is racing.

Also Micro SMGs is racing.

Stickies is racing.

Leaving your car in the middle of the road, carjacking a box truck, and blocking 4 lanes of traffic with grenades and assault rifles is racing.

I'm #222 worldwide for golf. I play too much golf.

All I need for #1 is a -13 game! Can't be too hard right?

I'm #123 worldwide and #1 in AWCO-- come get me goons, I managed a nine under. (No eagles, either, it figures the time I play a perfect round-- birdies on every hole, I don't have the favorable wind to eagle any hole-- the drat wind was in my face all game). I usually range between -3 to -6, but I've gotten -8 a few times and -9 that one time.

Also, I hope the cloud saves my progress tonight as I managed to win 6 or 7 races in a row and I so rarely win races that my heart would hurt if it were lost. I was one away from unlocking turbo! Haven't done any win-trading yet, but you bet your rear end I'm getting my wins back that way if that cloud eats my progress.

The game seems rather confused about my progress at the moment. I bought a car earlier and that remained in my garage but the money I spent on it was refunded and I lost one rank. Also the "Ron won't give jobs" problem mysteriously fixed itself.

I would always start so well and then get bumped and fly into a river or something. I even got hit by a goddamn train at one point. At least I got a bunch of turbo starts I guess, I think some parts require those. I think I'll pretty much have to cheese it and trade wins with somebody to get anything else.

But most of that is there already. The only thing you really need to grind away at are some of the weapons (which is lame) and some of the expensive cars. Everything else you unlock or can afford after a week of playing.

I understand why some people want to have tanks and full heists from Rank 1, but I don't mind the current system. They just need to tweak the payouts/RP of missions that suck and continue to make free roam more appealing.

Anyone who hasn't yet needs to find a friend, set bounties on each other, piss off the cops, and then Thelma and Louise it against the whole server for as long as you can.

If setting bounties didn't cost the same as most mission payouts, this is probably the only thing I would do.

Honestly I kind of regret not going for the money glitch, at least enough to be comfortable that I don't need to worry about buying car parts and all that. Rockstar hasn't banned anyone aside from maybe the idiots who capped their money and probably won't punish even most of the people who did it by now, then they just made getting money an even more boring slog the "proper" way, so next time one of these pops up why the hell not.

I don't think that was us. Everyone we had is a long-time group who were in a Live party except for one pubby who slipped through our matchmaking cracks for about ~15 minutes before he bailed out when he realized we're absolutely awful to try to seriously race against.

Also there's no accidental explosions when we race :getin:

Yeah, I ended up doing enough for about 21million, 11 of which was put into a big amount of cars and Pegasus vehicles. It's huge fun to drop 10k bounties on people and watch the fireworks happen and call Merryweather hit teams on goons. Having enough money that you can screw around with and help people complete missions is nice, there's a lot of stuff you speed up with a Buzzard like Base Invaders or Mixed Up With Coke.
