Compared to everyone's complaints on PC. Absolutely. Also the ps4 pro gets me a pretty solid 30(ish)

Graphics are totally secondary to gameplay to me. Hell, I love Rimworld and Nethack.

I own GTA on PC and ps4 and play it pretty much exclusively on ps4 because it's more enjoyable there by far.

Yeah same. Its more noticeable on the story but online the gap graphically isnt that big between the two.

Rockstar crossed the 6 billion mark on this game making it the most profitable peice of media in history. Lol there is no way in hell red dead wont be a grindy slog this does not look good, and hell i cant argue with 6 billion loving dollars. drat shame.

the game looks so much better on pc it isnt comparable and in 60 fps first person mode is actually playable.
the only advantage i see on ps4 is that the other playyers are so much worse its easier

I've been playing GTA online via my scrappy little xbone. I don't ever see hackers AFIK, and I'm able to use the nat check trick to drop into a solo lobby when I need to make money. I also set a goal to grind for a yacht and ended up buying the middle one because everyone said it had better stuff and was easier to get around on.


my son makes fun of me for grinding money in such a lovely game, but I'm too relaxed and happy really care. Just hauling I/E cars via cargobob and doing gunrunning.

I guess what I'm saying is that I'm a special kind of retarded :shrek:

The new weeny mode is really fun and pays well. 4 rounds takes 20 minutes and pays $96k for a win, $62k for a loss. It's also really really fun.

You have an advantage if you go in with a hopped up weeny, too.

New Vespucci job is p cool, I def want to try it with a race ready Mini instead of the stock one

The Vespucci Job is insanely fun, especially as the runner. It’s like being in a car stunt show, driving backwards through tiny gaps and down alleys.

I only listen to my custom radio, so I just won to Phil Collins’ “Just a Job To Do”.

Probably the best aspect of the Mini Cooper is that even though its acceleration sucks going forward compared to cop cars, it can go backwards almost instantly. You end up driving in reverse almost as much as forwards.



Bye fucko.

Jesus, has anyone else played this on both ps4 and xbone and noticed the xbone community is completely hosed? I've played mostly on ps4 and started on xbone a few months ago, and while ps4 occasionally had people griefing or not playing it's every single game on the xbone. Every Hotring race I did had 3+ people who would just be actively trying to gently caress up other people racing, every Vespucci Job I've done has either had a player leave right at the start or just driving around the city ignoring the mini.

Also it seems like you get kicked for being idle in freemode a lot quicker on the xbone. Playing on ps4 I could reliably get up to make a snack or have a smoke in between races without issue but I'm kicked every time I come back on xbone.

It should be a 15 minute timer on both consoles. Maybe playing on xbone makes you hungrier, requiring a more complex snack.

I think it's the ideal number for balance. With more cops it would be virtually impossible to win, and with more runners there would be no way to keep track of all of them and their checkpoints.

Also you really need three cops to take on the runner. I played with a guy that I'm pretty sure was hacking because his cars all had ridiculous maneuverability and extremely fast acceleration forwards and backwards, to the point where on his turn he was completely untouched for 2 minutes straight, and I still beat him when I was the runner just because one or two cops isn't enough to box in the runner.

Counterpoint:



2 on 6 would be a ton of fun.

I haven't tried it, but i would imagine if you set it to 4 rounds and had the runner just sit and reset to quickly run out the time, after 5 rounds all 3 cops would win and should win $96k. You could probably get 4 people up over 500k an hour. only 10 hours of grinding that gets you a modded Deluxo!

Theres an option (or its every game? I dunno) to turn car mods on, so maybe he has the turbo and engine upgrades and keeps the rest of the car plain looking.

He was definitely a hacker. I use my own tuned Issi for it so I know how fast it's supposed to be, and he was affected by it as well with the cop car. He always outran the other cops in a straight line, turned corners virtually perfectly, and accelerated backwards the same as he did forwards.

One benefit I had as the runner is that he was driving so fast that any time he missed he would accidentally smash into his partner and knock both of them away.
