    I think it wouldn't be so bad if you could actually see your grand parents a little better? I mean I have a 42" tv and my eye sight is probably going from way too much masturbation too much video games, but I could kind of make out what they looked like.

    I do have to say, seems like Los Santos is more seattle than california, so many white people. Its like a Denver Broncos home game.

    You clearly don't hang out in the 'hood son. Not that I do, my character looks like he freakin lives in East Los Santos, near that hipster coffee shop. (Fun side note, I'm writing this post while sitting in that very same shop!).


    Well I mean more player characters, I mean I'm so white I bleed mayo, but I made sure to make someone who at least looks hipsanic. I mean's he's a criminal right?

    Yeah, I made sure to make mine hispanic lookin too. I was actually trying to make someone asian, but that didn't end up working. Maybe if my character gets borked I'll try again.

    so i tried to play , was able to get in but spent like 20+ minutes waiting to be able to race against lamar... is it still this bad?

    You can still run people down. That's why they can kill you

    You can also shoot out the car. I believe they can still mow you down too. What I'm saying is this Passive Mode leads to a false sense of security.

    Supposedly there is a patch coming tomorrow. What I did to get it to work on the 360 was to clear the system cache, delete the not working character, and then redo, suddenly it worked.

    it really seems to be hit or miss. The people that can, can play consistently and without any trouble. But those who can't, all share the same issues. Here's hoping the update that's rolling out will get more WANG on the web.

    I have a hard time making a nice looking black woman. Although I was racing against a gorgeous one last night. I wonder how long it took to get her right.

    I hope this next patch includes something to keep our characters saved. I'd hate to start from Level 1 again, after my next attempt.

    I'm not entirely sure about the mowing down, but I could have sworn your character still has no protection from physics impact.

    Its called a joke son. Though I do make most of my RPG characters of the darker skinned variety, if only because when the option is there you usually stand out in the sea of whitey whitersons.

    I fear for all the fedoras people will wear.

    It's random, really. I feel this game will go down the DayZ path where everyone just assumes other players are out to kill them.

    Wow I didn't even notice that. See I make my characters dark because I myself am quite dark. Not of hispanic descent (I don't think), but still, I like to make my characters look like me. Unfortunately, I couldn't make him uber fat.

    it sounds like this issue is caused by creating a "temp" character when the cloud was down and couldn't access your original characters. I would have saved it in a seperate slot, but then again it'd be nice if the game just *worked*.

    I've been in free roam with my friend for over an hour but we can't launch any missions because of the same error. so we just keep robbing stores...

    Its really prevalent in games with a lot of humanoids. But when you play tonight in GTA online just take a look at all the white people, its kind of funny. Its like most guys also won't pick a hot pink car.

    I've got a baby face so I can never make myself. (True story: I got carded buying this game. I laughed, looked the cashier in the eye and said "I'm 32" and he immediately put the sale through. But yeah, baby face.)
    So I make whatever I think looks decent or whatever appeals to me at the time.
    Now that I know there's a title update coming through and these problems aren't going to be fixed just with adding new servers or whatever behind the scenes I'll just wait for tomorrow.

    I do wish I could take the classic station from SR4 and put it into GTA 5. What music station do you guys listen to? I end up on the techno or the sigh... pop station.

    I usually leave it unless it starts annoying me. I don't care much about music.

    Btw I have figured out how to get your driving bar at 50% from the start.

    Minimise sleep. Max couch and illegal.

    I don't care about the scars or whatever. Adds character.

    I don't know if it's the different cars but driving physics feels a bit different from single player. There's less glue on the tires? You can power slide pretty easily.

    Thinking I'll re-roll for a character who better fits my choice of crew, the K-Jah Rebels. Right now my character is a pasty little white dude who looks like he crashed and burned early in life. He's named 'Fiver,' both as a commentary on the fact he looks like a sickly rabbit and a hint that he's done some time. Kind of fits in the GTA landscape, but only as someone who might creep out Franklin in a Strangers & Freaks encounter.

    That sounds perfect for a gang of Rasta's, you're their one white friend they can point to so they can make cracker jokes. "Its cool Fivers white, I know him."

    People were asking a day or two ago and I just found the menu, so...

    If you want to change your Freemode Chat Settings, hold Back (or Select?). Scroll to the bottom, and you should be able to set Chat to Everyone, Crew, Friends, Crew + Friends, or No-one. This is going to solve so many problems. You can also use the Inventory option to set the helmet you wear when using a bike, or equip masks / hats. Seems handy. Oh, and you can choose what Body Armor appearance you have, including None.
