    So the whole not using the prison aspect in game is even weirder, as my girlfriend is rampaging in there as Trevor right now with invincibility cheat on (and exploding punches) and the whole place is fully detailed, with prison busses and other things things I don't think you can see without actually breaking into the prison.

    There's a lot of very detailed locations in the game that aren't used in the main story. Those locations are either intended for GTA:O Deathmatch arenas, or they're probably saving them for the inevitable expansions.

    Or Rockstar is just crazypants and loves building detailed worlds just for the hell of it.

    I'd imagine you're correct with the DLC. Rockstar will squeeze every drop out of that world with expansions, and I cannot wait.

    You can't really "LAN", all of you are still gonna be connecting to the outside world.

    I'm not sure how much luck you're gonna have, but I wish y'all the best! Sounds awesome! :)

    After deleting the update and re-downloading I found the online worked much better. Maybe give it a try?

    There were parts of it I thought were good.

    Regretfully the customisation screen couldn't be the whole game. So those parts weren't so long.

    Does GTA:O still have Cops N' Crooks from IV?

  • DiannaoChongDiannaoChong Registered User regular
    Oh yeah, it should be said that there is rollbacks. I gained a point in driving three times last night and lost clothing I had bought and put on.

    Haven't seen Cops n Crooks specifically, but there are drug running missions where you have to try and transport drugs to a certain location, and the other team is trying to stop you. Kind of has a similar vibe. I do wish/hope Cops n Crooks is in the game though, by far my favorite mode from GTA IV.

    And APB's biggest failing was trying to be an MMO. They were never going to pull off that many players with the type of precision necessary to make the gameplay work. Plus all that load meant the world was basically an empty shell, which does not make for a very interesting open place to inhabit.

    Doing Epsilon missions...
    Gotta wear this robe for 10 consecutive in game days eh?

    Time to hunt collectibles!

    Anyone know if the nuke collection sub mission thing will reset or interfere with my clothes in any way? might stick to collecting letter scraps if so.

    I would stick to surface stuff.
    I think that the SCUBA gear you autoequip when you drive the sub will interfere with the counter for the robes
    At least, it seemed to for me.

    Somebody mentioned in the SE thread about a "Top Fun" mode.

    Team A have bikes trying to reach the goal.

    Team B have jets. With rockets.

    I want.

    Looks like I lost my character and all $30k this time. Deleted the update, redownloading. Hopefully when I reconnect it'll be back.

    Seriously, how the fuck do you lose data like that? How the fuck?

    Gonna hop on line at lunch. We should make it a point to run closed crew sessions, that way we can have WANG all over the place. I need to pick up a new headset too.

    was finally able to get in and play for a bit, but left for a while to eat lunch and now everything is timing out. hopefully my character is still there. I don't really have a lot of cash or anything, but he's actually done the starting mission and I also got him looking really good, and I'd hate to have to recreate that.

    Re-made my biker chick.

    Got to dick around for a while, got something just as good as my previous car(a Gauntlet instead of a Dominator). Through some luck a couple of other WANGers got into my session which was cool, though I'm not sure they could hear my mic :(

    Deleted the update. Cleared the cache. Started a new character. When I got to the race, it said launching session. Waited about 3 minutes and it went

    Not necessarily solo but they will give you a mission. It may take a minute or two for them to text or call you back though.

    Will the US government shutdown end before GTA Online's problems are fixed? /ponder

    edit: I say this because (aside from the shooting) these are he only news articles flowing.

    Also Miley Cyrus nipple because her klout score dropped too low from these events.

    Well I'm still barely able to connect to the cloud and stuck at the race when I do finally get connected.

    I am truly happy for the people that are able to play and run through the ranks, but every day this problem persists, I get set further and further back in terms of progression.

    I know it doesn't matter because they already have my money, but seeing that people are already buying houses, garages, guns, and mods... It is slowly eroding my desire to play Online at all. In a weeks time when I can finally join, I envision being hit by an airstrike as I'm finally completing the first race.

    Questions for anyone else with a Sanchez:

    1. Does the dude in the mods hop walk away, leaving you trapped if you try to get a respray?
    2. Can your Sanchez get any performance mods?

    I found a reliable Sanchez spawn, but it's not really worth sharing if you're getting a gimped version.

    I got in! I won the race! I went and shot some dudes and took their drugs! Then all of a sudden everything froze up and I got booted back to the start of the mission and now I think it's hard-locked.

    The Cache Clearing/Title Update Delete "trick" that R* has recommended does nothing for me.

    How embarrassed should a company that can manage to ring out a game this amazing on such dated hardware be when the only solid lead they have after two days of investigation is "maybe try this thing some guy on the internet said?"
