jstout Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 You could say you're saving money for a rainy day, but it's never gonna rain. You could gather up, say, millions so you could afford a mansion if they ever put one up for sale, but they're never gonna put one up for sale, so screw it. It is nice being at a point, money-wise, where I don't have to worry about if something is worth it or not. I bought the fireworks launcher and the musket, both huge mistakes that I wouldn't have made if I held off a little on buying them, because I've got money to blow and screw it. Didn't even think twice about the 742,014 for the monster truck. Didn't have to. Money glitchers probably already have the guns. Getting the best weaponry available to you at whatever level you are at is essential in this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misanthrope304 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Combat vehicles are rank locked but I was able to get a rhino very early on, back when the billion dollar bounties were a thing. I just had to type in the url in the web browser on the phone to go to page to buy it. I didn't get the buzzard at the time because I was lazy and was spending more time playing call of duty. I did drop the money for the Tonka truck. I still haven't shot any hookers in the face but I am very tempted to do so. At least to make some scratch to offset the cost of this upcoming war in free mode against this biker club. I don't really need the money to buy anything like cars or properties, I still have a couple million left in the bank. I haven't gotten the liberator either. After having grinded 3.6 million on that double rpg double cash weekend before the high life update, I can say Fuck grinding for money. I lost interest in the game for a while after that. I do not like hackers that have this God mode/invisible shit going on, I don't think it's fair to other players to play like that, there is no skill involved. If I have to cheat to win, it's not as fulfilling of an experience for me. I don't know, does this make me a communist or something? I'd rather snipe someone running full blast from four blocks away as opposed to shooting them with an rpg (even though I'm 6 kills away from the army tint for my rpg). Don't get me wrong, I am reaaaallllyyy fond of sniping with an rpg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Money glitchers probably already have the guns. Getting the best weaponry available to you at whatever level you are at is essential in this game. That's true. I think the point I was trying to make is that weapon superiority nearly got flushed away with DLC and Social Club content. Without the added weapons, a Rank 50 guy should beat a Rank 5 guy in a straight firefight. Now that weapons like the Special Carbine and Sawn-Off are available as soon as you jump off the plane, nearly all bets are off. Money glitchers may acquire things faster than you, but this does not break the game per se. If you don't want them winning races with superior cars, host races and turn off custom vehicles. If you don't want them using superior firepower, host Forced+Pickup deathmatches. If you don't want to be bothered with them at all, play in Invite-Only or Closed Crew sessions. The only real game breaking bugs in GTA5 are the ones that prohbit fair PVP. Anything that keeps me from killing another player needs to be fixed quickly.

odessasteps Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I tweaked my new DMs again over the weekend. Since i have an early sched this week (0630-1600), i should be on at the normal time, maybe a little earlier. The AC4 i got from the library is gatherrring dust.

Cristobal Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I've pointed this out before, but the fact that they didn't already have DLC in the pipeline really boggles my mind. This game was in development for 5 years. They obviously promised too much too soon and were up against a deadline, releasing a online component that was not tested well, if at all, really. If this wasn't GTA, people would have not put up with the issues as long as they have. At this point, I wouldn't expect any major DLC until the next-gen/PC versions come out, at the very earliest. Am I the only one who remembers GTA IV? PS3 didn't get TLaD or TBoGT until TWO YEARS after the main game demoed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his comment was in my response to multiplayer content. That being said, no one really cared about GTA 4's lip-service multiplayer content. That sort of thing was the realm of FPS and MMO. Nowadays, multiplayer content is just as important, if not more important, than the single player stuff. It has been a year since the last time I fired up Mass Effect 3's campaign mode, but I play co-op at least twice a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I fired up GTA V Saturday night and discovered there were a shit ton of content packs to download for multiplayer. While all of those downloaded, I tooled around with single player. This was at close to midnight. I then lost track of time and stopped playing at almost 5 AM... I really want to play some more GTA V now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Got a mic? The Xbox crew usually get on around 7 on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Online is a shit ton more fun to play when you have a band of brothers around you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Jesus, the fucking Night Shift (Mis, Jstout, Melraz, Robert, Herby) will have your ass up until three or four in the morning EST. Old guys like me need their sleep. We usually crap out between 9PM and 10PM EST. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert C Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 It just kinda depends on the night. Usually most people are off by 10 eastern. There's also the periodic, late night runs where a few of us find ourselves on at the same time and run roughshod over freemode. That's gone on so long sometimes that the damned sun has come up. Late night murdering keeps you young at heart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melraz09 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I miss the old days or nights or whatever it was. I shall be back eventually. I think I might even be sick Wednesday and Thursday. *cough* *cough* *sniffle* *sniffle* *sneeze* *sneeze* *fizzle* *fizzle* yup it's comin on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 It was only a couple of games, but I had a blast playing with everyone earlier. I've definitely been missing out on a lot of good times. Thanks for letting me play! Can't wait until the next time! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Tuesday Night Titans on Tuesday night (duh) at 7 p.m. It's the highlight of my week, which I'll ask you guys not to comment derisively about, thank you very much. Been playing a shit-ton of single-player lately. Finished the "main quest" or whatever you wanna call it. I got frustrated and skipped my way out of a big firefight where I could've done it if I'd just been more patient. I wished I could take the skip back as soon as I did it. I've still got a ton to do in single-player even after finishing the main quest. I've come to think of single player as like multiplayer with fresh missions and no dipshit randoms around to fuck them up. I'm not used to not having helicopters everywhere or being able to call in a chopper from Merriweather, so you have to do a lot more driving. I really think they're at a rock and a hard place when it comes to heists: If they pay some bullshit figure like $10,000 just to try to keep Shark Card sales up, the fanbase is gonna hit the roof. If they make them pay out really well, then they'll never sell another Shark Card again (not like they will anyway after everyone gets done with the dead hooker glitch). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 So.... The merc tactic earlier was really bullshitty, and I will not be doing it again. Apologies for that. All the created deathmatches today ruled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 No - but as he alluded to, he did call in mercs during one of the deathmatches That was new since NONE of us knew that was possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Well, I knew it was possible because Fresh called mercs in on the first Capture mission we ever did. Mark called in an airstrike to counter the mercs. I don't use it in deathmatches. Never felt that I needed to use that sort of tactic in order to win. I'm not necessarily closed to using mercs because it is ability I unlocked via gameplay. What are powers if you don't occasionally use them?

AxB Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Was doing a Survival with two other guys, but they both left in Wave 7, so I finished it by myself. Went back to Freemode, there was two other guys in there, way up at Sandy Shores. Special Crate Drop in 5 hours. Kill Target, they didn't go after him, $5,000-odd for me. Special Crate Drop in 3 hours. High Priority Car, they didn't go after it, $8500 for me. A crate has been dropped. They didn't go after it. What's better than having a beer hat? Having TWO Beer hats. A new Green one to go with the Yellow I got for switching characters once. Apparently the next DLC has T-Shirts of old GTA radio stations. K Rose and K-DST and them. And possibly a couple of new strip clubs, and the Casino actually opening to gamble in. Although I think the Gay Tony of this game will have a Casino-based character. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Pulled my first all nighter with the Night Shift. I must've had a lot of stress to work out. It was bittersweet. Good to hang with the guys (EEEEEE-PIC!!!), and sad because we got our asses handed to us by a couple of twankers. I need to recover some cash flow, so it's missions and races for most of Tuesday Night Titans.... right before I take a nap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, some of the people using the t-shirt glitch have reported to GTAForums about being able to unlock the next set of Special shirts for the next DLC. Here is a guy who unlocked the shirts using the glitch. Pics are spoilerized for size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misanthrope304 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I am way to sleep deprived (and lazy) to do a write up on tonight's free mode for the night shift. I feel bad for JT though, we kept him up all night cracking skulls. You did unlock that tint for the advanced rifle though right? There were tanks, passive bitches, spawn killers, and trash talkers. I think I still came out ahead though, even though I probably need some form of medication to keep my rage in check. Blathered Osmo was good, I think I still came out ahead on him. He got lucky and spawn killed the shit out of me a bunch of times, the prick. Fun times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yeah, I got my green tint for my Advanced Rifle. I spent a lot of money on rockets. Gotta make more money and die less in free mode. There were an abundance of bitchy little douches last night Those who could did, and those that couldn't either ran or went for tanks. I blew up a couple of tanks but I died a lot more often than I am accustomed to. My K//D went down .03 to 1.40. Unacceptable! The only guy worth his salt was Blathered Osmo. That guy kept calm and remained hostile. I don't mind getting mowed down by guys who keep coming at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
