    So what a shit show, I finally got past the tutorial then had to reload the game and now my dude looks nothing like how I set him up and seems to have some sort of mentally retarded looking face. Tried quitting and rejoining, now I can get in no problem but this fucked up face is stuck to my character and it's really bumming me out.

    uuuuugh

    is it possible to make a decent looking white guy without blue eyes?

    also, I still cant even get into the tutorial race, and I tried reinstalling the update on 360 :?

    So I kept hitting the "waiting for other players to join" wall on the PS3 all afternoon. I did find one really cool thing, completely by accident; this spoiler pertains to your possible parentage, so don't click if you have no idea what I'm talking about...
    I am John Marston's son. Thank you Rockstar, my existence now has validity.

    Hard pressed on my right. My center is yielding. Impossible to maneuver.
    Situation excellent. I am attacking.

    Question: can you sell your real estate? Can I buy a cheap starter garage and then sell it to help pay for an apartment later?

    I don't believe so.

    So plan accordingly:

    List of All GTA:O Properties.

    The cheapest apartments are $80k, and all come with at least a 2 car garage.
    The cheapest stand-alone garages are $25k for 2 spaces.

    Might be good having a garage off the beaten path for those times when you need a vehicle fast, but don't want to trudge all the way back to your apartment.

    Ugh. Ok, I think the fact that npcs can put bounties on you has made free roam that much worse. Jackasses will try to follow you around the entire goddamn map just for $1K. Thankfully Invite Only seems to be working. I just wish you didn't need to hop back to singleplayer to set it up.

    I got to have a fun lunchtime session with a few PAers. Ended up just doing races. And then there was...Top Fun. I was on the motorcycle like a boss, running away as fast as humanly possible from the not one, but TWO jet fighters with bloodthirsty WANG pilots, with a gleam in their eyes and murder on their lips. Its a good thing neither of them could fly very well.

    But then again, I'm the asshat that ejector seated into a mountain the round before.

    Needless to say, when it works it works.

    I have a question about this.

    Before you had a bounty put on you, what had you done? Were you behaving badly? Might this be a consequence of being a "bad sport"?

    Nah, I never hunt people in free roam. I jack cars from npcs though, and I often end up getting a bounty from "Unknown" as a result. Maybe it's thinking that high end cars belong to PCs, as unmoddable cars tell you they already have a tracker from another player when you try to store them in your garage.

    I hope this becomes a more refined mechanic and can be used against griefers. It's getting freaking hard just to leave my safehouse without being ran over by some griefer yelling into his mic and laughing like an idiot. If R* could somehow tag your amount of kills against other players in free roam and just escalate to 5* right away on that guy, it'd be super helpful.

    It's pretty hard to kill players from a jet. You can't lock on and you don't see the name pop up until you're at the point where you need to pull up.

    Yeah... once you get enough rank, you can talk to Lester and gain the ability to put a bounty on a player. It'd be nice if it was restricted to your archnemesis or something but much like kicking it's lolol?

    I'm finding doing races is a lot more fun than the basic dm matches. It could be because currently all I have is a pistol with extended clip and a mac-10 but races are at least entertaining for me instead of "ooops I'm dead". I need to buy a garage though and get a nice motorbike since those are the races I tend to gravitate towards.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    You could always go passive mode right? I mean if people are being the full ahole it might be preferrable, then again I'd take having a bounty put on me as a mark of fucking honor.

    It's pretty hard to kill players from a jet. You can't lock on and you don't see the name pop up until you're at the point where you need to pull up.

    If you switch to rockets, they lock on. You have to maintain the lock for the duration of the rocket's flight, I think, which complicates the matter. You also have to not plow into an overpass.

    Yes, but you'd have to walk everywhere (it doesn't protect you while in vehicles) and hope nobody decides to run you over or something.

    That hasn't been my experience. It locks onto police cars and helicopters just fine while I have at least one star, but not players. Mind you, this is in free roam; it might be different in certain game modes.

    Son I've robbed three stores, no one shoots at me. Then again my dude does look like Cougar from the Losers, so they are probably worried I'll snipe them into a jet engine.

    I don't know if it's intentional, but Passive Mode doesn't work when you're in a car. Just a heads up in case you think you're safe when driving around in a game with randoms.

    The mission Meth'd Up which is in the middle of nowhere has done that to me three times. It is surprisingly hard to read the text even on my giant hd tv. I think it says how far the mission is from you when you get the text about it. Seriously Rockstar a three minute drive for a give minute mission is stupid.

    Edit: Would anyone be kind enough to accept my WANG request?
