Grand Theft Auto V

Pretty sure it doesnt run at all when youre offline.

I found plugging in the controller (so it doesnt run out of power) and clipping a pen to the right analog stick and angling it so the camera keeps rotating (so the game doesnt kick you offline for idling) works wonders.

Well I'm at work now, so I expect to have a lot to sell when I get home.

I just tied my two control sticks together so my character jogs in a circle forever. All inside my bunker of course.

Man I should have activated sneakmode first and just finished getting the last stage of Ninja....

Actually, sneaking in this game is just about as useless as diving. When would you EVER need to sneak in this game? Especially online?

Sneaking lets you shoot some folks without getting a wanted level. And diving is a guaranteed way to get away from the police. Alamo Sea is my go to destination. I've used it twenty times now.

TBH tho I don't play gta for stealth.

if you're leaving the game on to process business supplies, you don't have to tie a rubber band around your controller joysticks - go to the nearest TV and just leave it spectating other players. or, if you bought the security upgrade, just AFK on the security cameras. apparently, the game thinks that's an activity, so you won't be booted while you're on it.

pretty much the one and only time i found max stealth useful was the one time i was playing Slasher with friends, and having a sneak speed as fast as your jogging speed helped when backstabbing the murderer. it was the dumbest thing ever, and it scared the shit out of the player on the murderer team.

What bonus is there for maxing stealth? You don't disappear from radar do you?

no, your sneaking speed just gets faster. like i said in my last post, at max stealth your sneaking speed becomes the same as your jogging speed (when you hold the sprint button outside of sneaking mode, rather than tapping it repeatedly)

A level 400+ griefer wasted twenty minutes waiting for me to surface near the LSIA.

God I'm never wearing anything but scuba gear ever again.

I literally just had someone quit a heist right after the pilot took the velum and made it into the sky

literally thirty seconds from victory

that's why i don't deal with heists anymore, especially the original ones. the 4 player minimum requirement is stupid and i'm glad they knocked it down to 2 players minimum with the Doomsday heist (if i can even be bothered to do those, too).

I once had a heist (I think the prison break) where everything went to plan, and then one group needed to fly to some marker and jump the plane. But they somehow didn't get that, and kept trying to land on the ground. Eventually they blew up. How frustrating is that?

They almost certainly bought the wrong language of game.

Mistakes are incredibly common when I'm playing in the non-English speaking servers. When talking to a Chinese player (I can speak a little; thanks, parents) they seemed to imply that the characters spoke in English, even as their objectives were written in the language of the player's choice.

Well, its also that the missions are a bit too strict in their objective completion requirements. Like, why do you HAVE to parachute down to the marker to finish the mission? Just landing the plane should work too. Its just an unnecessary hoop.

No, I'm pretty sure that's the mission where Rashkovsky flies out of the country in the stolen plane, and you parachute out because you're not going with him. Story.

It's utterly hilarious how tough that Velum is, by the way. One missile and the plane will continue to fly, though with heavy smoke and the occasional engine failure. A second hit and the wings come off, but neither the pilot nor his passengers die.

I wish they would just put all those new vehicles in single player already. I have a billion dollars for each player character that is basically useless.

Some single player DLC/new missions would be nice, too.

Why is Rockstar so awful to single player anyway?

Online is where the money is, probably. Maybe after RDR 2 is out we'll see some love for GTAV again?

I'd prefer they make a spin off or sequel.

Indeed, it is high time for a new one.

Be great if it featured the Online protagonist! I'm rather fond of mine now.

Holy shit. If you get a Buzzard you can summon it as a Pegasus vehicle, a personal aircraft if you got a hangar, and as a CEO/VIP vehicle. You can spawn THREE buzzards, basically making all supply missions trivial if you have a few crew members

The Hydra is a mixed blessing, isn't it? It's so easy to just clip a cell/radio tower, or a lamp post, or a billboard while trying to strafe a target. One time I went into hover mode near a target to take it out and I blew myself up because the splash radius on those cannons is actually a lot farther than they look.

The Savage is great, but it flips at the slightest touch. Once I did a full barrel roll on some pole. It was great, but scary.

I didn't buy the savage because the Buzzard was more immediately useful. To start with, CEO Vehicles lets you spawn one like mere feet away. Soooo useful. God I love the Buzzard

I have a Buzzard too, it was my first attack chopper, way back when that was the ONLY attack chopper.
