Munion posted:So for those who haven't realized... I just found out you can deposit your cash into the bank during a mission. So when you are running a bunch of missions in a row with goons, make sure to deposit most of your cash before finishing your final round. That way when you drop back into freeroam you only have 1 mission worth of cash on you. You still lose money to hospital fees when you die in free roam though right? I'm assuming putting your cash into the stock market will guard against this, but I didn't want to tempt fate by relying on BAWSAQ remaining up.

It's been sitting there for 15 minutes so far this afternoon Everyone but a lucky few have the exact same problems man. Yesterday I got a few hours of play in but today I can't access my character and creating a new one leaves me in the exact same situation as you.

I don't even have any buttons that work, if I want to do something else I'm going to need to reset the PS3 again, if last night was a clue.

If I can get in with TROGG I'll find out what happens when you have only enough money to enter LTS/deathmatch but not pay for all the hospital visits. I'd like to get around by dicking around. Races have been $100 each to enter.Arturo Robusto posted:Anyone know the best car you can get for free? I just switched the piece of poo poo I started with for a Dominator I found out by the canal and railroad. The one with a name that reminds me of the Feltzer, but has a Comet/Porsche curvature of its rear, looking German luxury business in the front. It's that or one of the two muscle cars. I've experimented a bunch. You can get an Akuma or maybe a better motorcycle, fine speed and agility but very very vulnerable and risky to use, even riding safe and sound solo.

You only, ever, lose money if you're holding it and you have to be carrying more than $5000. You can't put online money into the stock market at this time.

You should probably check your transaction history when you get the moment. You have to pay a fee every time you die, even in missions. And as we found out earlier, even in things like Top Fun and Top Fun II.

Working through a bunch of race and deathmatch lobbies today my girl just looked classy purely because she stood out so much. Tanned skin, blond hair, neck scarf. My girl Matilda looks amazing. I'm hoping the cloud spits her back up once it's fixed, but I went in as a proper, professional Indian woman who decided to break bad out in Los Santos. (I managed to make her look AWESOME, too!)

This is awesome, it gets even better when you set it to replace "the cloud" with "your butt" instead. Now companies trying to sell products "in the cloud" have taken on a whole new angle  I'm not actually using cloud-to-butt though, I'm using ponify. By switching the "find" and "replace" lists it becomes the most useful chrome extension ever created. circ dick soleil fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Oct 4, 2013 |

It seems a bit harsh but dealable in freeroam, but in modes where some one has to die, and likely multiple times, thats messed up. I really hope its not also deathmatch, never do those if you have money if it's that way. *edit* \/\/ I think its gonna be personal preference there to a large degree, what you think handles the best and such.

I really hope its not also deathmatch, never do those if you have money if it's that way. I'm 90% sure Deathmatches are exempt, but anything with limited spawns seems to have the penalty. Basically, anything the game classes as a "Mission" : co-op jobs, team vs team jobs, LTS jobs. It's pretty silly really, we did a whole bunch of Top Fun II in a row, and I ended up about 6k down after due to deaths, despite it being roughly 50% on the win-rate.

Check transactions with the online (phone) bank after you finish DM, LTS, TDM. And heh I had a character maker glitch just as I got a good face going. Thank dog for capture equipment. And balls to being able to make a fatty, there are fatty male characters on the street in GTAO, but only BBWs (fatty ladies then) in SP. e: Here we go, reminds me so much of That Actor, you might remind him from Those Movies, but his name?  e: Oh GTAO.

Is there any way to turn off/reduce volume on voice chat on the PS3? I tried playing a few games online this morning and all I heard was 12 year olds screeching at the top of their lungs at about twice the volume of the game itself.
