Can you still replay Coveted for mad money in next gen GTA online? Or have they killed fun, completely? I don't wanna bother getting it unless there's a relatively easy way to get tons of money, without having to poopsock.

Pretty much all jobs make decent cash now. They totally revamped mission pay. If by killing fun you mean that you can make money without having to grind the same boring job over and over then yeah, they "killed fun". Hell, me and 3 other goons made something like 8-18k a job repossessing cars for Simeon a few weeks back.

You just pick a job that looks enjoyable and do it now.

One thing that sucks about first person mode is that the left stick is just fuckin atrocious for doing anything but going straight on foot, it makes sprinting and turning impossible.

I set my First Person Camera when On Foot to 'Standard FPS' so I can use both sticks while running. It has made things a lot easier for me.

As far as I know "Bad News" isn't released anywhere but in game. And it seems odd that no ones felt like claiming the glory of putting new Action Bronson and Danny Brown on the danged internet.

Save franklin's assassination missions until after you finish the story. Then save the game and put all of your money into the competitor Lester recommends with each character, do the assassination, sleep for two in-game days (4 sleeps for franklin I think) then cash out (again, with each character). Save, do the next one, and you should end up with enough money to buy the golf course.

This is pretty much the only way to accumulate enough money to do this and there's an achievement that depends on it.

Playing a GTA in first person view is pretty awesome.

I'm pretty impressed by the shooting mechanics in FP-POV. My only complaint would have to be that the aiming stick is a bit sluggish no matter the sensitivity but overall I'm enjoying this.

I would like to note that the introduction assassination is unavoidable with regards to progressing the story and getting more capital for this thing. Prepare accordingly.

IT's a known last Gen issue. Open a support ticket and rockstar will probably reimburse you the equivalent in cash so you can buy your cars all over again or pick different ones if you so choose. I just went through it a few weeks before the next gen release. It took them two weeks but they did reimburse me.

I didn't realize that all of your character stuff transferred. None of my stuff came over when I linked so I opened a ticket. If it comes, w/e, I already bought a sweet apartment and some guns so gently caress it! :)

guns, trick out a decent car with armor and bulletproof tires, garage for a few more cars then you think you want. try and keep 100k in your bank so when new guns you like show up you can upgrade them a lot.

Also to burn off some of the ridiculous cash you get if you save all the assassination missions for the end.

Pretty impressed with all the tessellation and other advanced shaders like displacement or parallax or whatever it is. They put an absurd amount of work into this game. It was crazy being on the top of mount chiliad and seeing its shadow cast over the entire city beneath it.. I'm pretty amazed at the detail they have added.. But also kinda bummed they didn't do some simple things like adding shadows from headlights, or just improving the shadows in general by getting rid of the "Shadow Box" as I like to call it that follows your character and sharpens all shadows within the box. It's still really obvious. More pedestrians and traffic would have been nice. I mean, there are more, and more variety.. But I wanted some traffic jams and really crowded areas. Even Watch Dogs has way more cars/people.

Also, does the Xbone version have the advanced shaders as well? People are talking about the differences between the two versions. Wouldn't be surprised if no one has noticed yet. For people wondering what I am talking about, look at the trunk of a palm tree. See all that detail? Those aren't polygons.. It's kind of like displacement mapping except it actually creates geometry with the heightmaps.. Also go look closely at the gravel around Michaels house in his front yard. On Ps4 it uses new shaders on all the surfaces like displacement in gravel, on tree trunks.. etc.. It's crazy how much there is.. That would eat up a lot of resources..

I'm gonna make a quick video to show what I am talking about.

Yeah the increased traffic count didn't impress me too much. Maybe a slight uptick from the PS3/360, but not a huge improvement.

Did anyone else find driving in first person with black or limo tint at night a bit difficult?

I really hope trainers will be released for the PC version that will allow you to modify some of these characteristics, like traffic density.

I'm assuming many of these things will be the same on PC by default as they are in next-gen consoles.

You can swap the e-brake shoulder button to the X or A button for while driving mode, but thats about the closest you will get.

The Aim+Fire for drive-bys that comes as the standard setting was kinda wierd, especially when you're used to throwing stickies with a hold + release. Fire only mode and alternate handbrake fixes that.

True, but actual car to car gunfights are a lot easier in my opinion when you can bring up the crosshair to aim and then blast away when you are on target instead of spraying all over trying to get it on target wasting a chunk of your magazine.

There are quite a few of us with the same issue right now. Rockstar is recommending you file a ticket with their support system so they can look into it on a case-by-case basis.

Or that the traffic density will be dynamic based on available RAM. As I type that I realise how stupid an idea that would be, because then as PC hardware improves the game will get more and more like driving in real LA.

As I understand it, the traffic has gotten a shitload more varied anyway.

I hope that once the hype dies down a bit they'll start releasing PC version-specific news. I think all we know so far is it has a video editor and a 4k texture option.
