I'm already at like, 5 wins, and the tracks are so bad i don't think it's worth slogging through 15 more to be the intimidator, especially when i can already be the king.




I must play this game mode. I wanted to last night but the update took forever. :perfect:

The livery I saw in the R*-produced trailer for the game mode appeared based on Cole Trickle's City Chevrolet car from Days of Thunder while, in this picture:



The 33 looks like Dale Earnhardt's Wrangler car and the 50 could be Neil Bonnett's Valvoline car.

e- The Air Herler car is basically Terry Labonte's Piedmont Airlines car from the mid-80s and the Auto Exotic car is Darrell Waltrip's Parts America car, so bonus points for them matching up the sponsor inspirations in the game to real life.

There is, of course, already a list on the GTA wiki page

two Days of Thunder references, a lot of actual NASCAR references (as you'd expect) and maybe a Talladega Nights ref?

I didn't even think of going there- I went to YouTube and they've been "revealed" that way.

Hotring is surprisingly fun, the cars are surprisingly easy to handle, and the pubbies race surprisingly clean. I approve.

The Hotring races are okay, admittedly I’ve only done two, but the last one left a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth because I went from 3rd to 7th because people were just outright ignoring half the corners. I think R* need to either add barriers and/or use much smaller runoffs or put down a load of the slow pads.

Agreed on the cut corners.

General strategy to run well is at least average car modification and above average racing skill. My worst finish was 9th and I ran a guy down for a spot without slipstream on my last race.

E- I got wrecked on the first lap of a race and glitched into the scenery. I respawned 22nd and wound up 9th in 7 laps.

Hotring is a better version of stunt races with some cool paint schemes and as long as you put half an effort into modding a car, you'll finish top 5 in races and bring in the funbux quickly.

I've always wondered what life on last-gen GTA Online is like.

It's probably like when I discovered GTA IV online where, miraculously, there were still players on PS3, but if you got more than six people in a game of Cops and Crooks, you were living large.

I think once, I went up in a room with five or six a side and it was the greatest thing ever. That game mode was my introduction to online gaming.

There were so many good game modes that didn't get enough love even when the game was populated. By the time the DLCs came out, hardly anybody was playing the very excellent motorcycle games in the Lost DLC or racing in the Gay Tony DLC even though it had cooler cars with nitrous :/

I enjoyed free roam fuckery in GTA games so much that I'd never even looked into online play until I think a few months before GTA V/GTA Online came out. I think I did some of the races in Gay Tony because there were occasionally enough people to have a good race.

Nobody knows what the gently caress they are doing in heists in my experience. I highly suggest finding some way to avoid doing them with strangers. For reference, me and a group of 3 friends attempted Prison Break a few weeks ago and it took several hours to finally do it. Based on my experience with that, I cannot imagine how it is physically possible to do it with a group of total strangers.

I somehow powered through four of the five original Heists on PS3 the very first time they were running double funbux and points on them with pubbies. (The Fleeca Job was the one I missed because I was on vacation.) They did one a week in order, but it wasn't without its problems- I think we beat the Series A finale with 3 hours to spare before the bonus ended.

What I would do was friend request some of the better players I came across and have them help on future Heists, almost like an All-Star team of pubbies.

That said, the best times in this game, especially with Heists, were/are with Goons.

They need to avoid an overly-long game. GTA 4's story was something like 93 missions. At least GTA V was in the 60s, if I remember right.

Some pubbie decided to ruin my doing the Buzzard club promotion mission last night by shooting at me in a Deluxo. With pubbie not realizing I had backup in the room, when I knew a) I wasn't getting away from him and b) I had no defenses, I led him to Hugh Malone/malakai's facility in the hopes he could get his Akula out in time. Even when that didn't work, pubbie was so focused on me running around on foot (deliberately) that malakai picked him off repeatedly with his sniper rifle with ease. Then Alpha and mustardeleven came as backup, too, so it was 4 on 1.

We left for a while, only to return and lay further waste to him in a purple APC.
