Slo-mo lobbing of explosives at helicopters was A+

Passive mode bugged me because you have to turn it off to use a gun at all, so if you turn it back on to do a holdup you're seemingly at risk of being murdered by the very dickheads you're meant to be collaborating with

That container moving section was so funnily boring I thought it was meant to be an extended rib, they should've had that awful camera view of some different-sized moving rectangles be the first gameplayer trailer just to bask in all the 8000 word thinkpieces about what this all means from the gaming press

This happened in my first holdup. My friend had collected the money and I accidentally brained him with my pistol when I was trying to shoot the cashier. To me it's part of the fun but it's definitely a good idea to roll with dudes in your crew you can trust. It's very easy to steal another player's money.

haha yeah that would've salavged it. i was playing it like this. thing is, i was angrily rushing through it because it was bugging me so kept screwing up (disconnecting trailer from truck) and also spent an age trying to work out how to pick up the boxes because i'd clicked through the instructions in a fit of pique. my own dumb fault but still: UGH

yah i thought that bit was annoying-charming for some reason.

The only thing you're really missing out on is teaching Chop tricks.

can't really tell what knocks ppl out vs what kills them itg

i pistol-whipped a guy during one of those car thief missions, heard later on the radio that he had been murdered. whoops.

I punched him! I think it's either you leave him alone or nothing, as far as the story is concerned. Same thing happened when I kicked the paparazzo guy in the ass. I wish I'd known; I would have either left them alone or got more creative about it.

continually checking BAWSAQ while I'm at work may be the shittiest thing a game has ever made me do btw

WHY DIDN'T I BUY PISSWASSER AT $4

antexit, Wednesday, 2 October 2013 22:34 (ten years ago) link

How did y'all know to jump on Pisswater and HAL in the first place?

polyphonic, Wednesday, 2 October 2013 22:40 (ten years ago) link

i don't understand how it can just go up continually anyway? it doesn't correct/reset??

goole, Wednesday, 2 October 2013 22:48 (ten years ago) link

HAL's high is $49.44, and it's currently at $16.09, so there's still plenty of room for it to rise, hypothetically.

polyphonic, Wednesday, 2 October 2013 22:54 (ten years ago) link

Same for Pisswater, which had a high of $148.66 and is now at $17.54.

Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean either will go up.

polyphonic, Wednesday, 2 October 2013 22:56 (ten years ago) link

HAL and Pisswasser were two that were set very low at launch, for whatever reason, and people have been pump-and-dumping them on Reddit. HAL was $1 originally, so why not buy it. I believe the highs for each stock listed are not reflections of where the stock has gone in the last two weeks but just fictitious histories of the stock's life overall.

Of the two, HAL is supposed to be a weapons manufacturer, so it could wind up being tied to something that has actual value in online, through DLC or whatever, that just hasn't been realized yet.

antexit, Wednesday, 2 October 2013 23:36 (ten years ago) link

I really really really wish I hadn't done the assassination missions. :(

ha in online you can only change the radio if you're in the front seat

i fucking love buying clothes

goole, Thursday, 3 October 2013 16:00 (ten years ago) link

forgot to sell PIS / HAL & booted it up earlier and sold all stock for 180mil on each character. enough to buy the golf course, all cinemas and all other properties

yass

cozen, Thursday, 3 October 2013 16:06 (ten years ago) link

I'm finally going to be able to get back on the net with my Xbox tonight, is there any stock going on the Bawsaq market that I'd be well-advised to take the plunge on at this point? Or have I totally missed the boat on this?

Third Rate Zoo Keepers With Tenth Rate Minds (Windsor Davies), Thursday, 3 October 2013 16:20 (ten years ago) link

oh just shoot a lot of civilians, they have like $12 each, soon adds up

random accies memories (Sgt. Biscuits), Thursday, 3 October 2013 16:27 (ten years ago) link

I'm checking out the social club manage crew thing, and apparently you can come up with custom titles for your ten ranks in the game.

Can we come up with ten hilarious ILX-based rank titles to put in?

I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Thursday, 3 October 2013 17:32 (ten years ago) link

Or have I totally missed the boat on this?

It looks to me like they're both still rising, and since they're still the cheapest stocks in the BAWSAQ your return should still be pretty consequential if they rise, but not as much as when the stocks were completely bottomed out.

polyphonic, Thursday, 3 October 2013 17:35 (ten years ago) link

since i am a cheapo new dad type, i indulged my urge to buy this by instead buying the gta iv liberty cities thing for ps3 and OH MY GOD now i remember why i never got very far in iv for the xbox. what a fucking drag.

O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 3 October 2013 18:30 (ten years ago) link

you don't even love gay tony?

Holy Shirt! (stevie), Thursday, 3 October 2013 18:48 (ten years ago) link

i don't think i'll ever get what games move you jj

goole, Thursday, 3 October 2013 18:57 (ten years ago) link

i havent done gay tony or lost and damned, trying to trudge through iv first

O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 3 October 2013 18:58 (ten years ago) link

did the drag race with brucie mission like 5 times before calling it quits last night. do not want to competetively drive in brick car physics land.

O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 3 October 2013 18:59 (ten years ago) link

lost & damned is great, same with gay tony. both much much much more fun/interesting and not a total fucking buzzkill like the main story

NI, Thursday, 3 October 2013 19:02 (ten years ago) link

i enjoyed iv but gay tony is next level and if iv feels like a slog, gay tony is a blast.

Holy Shirt! (stevie), Thursday, 3 October 2013 21:04 (ten years ago) link

i have an xbox now

Yeah, Gay Tony feels like they finally figured out how to write the characters & relationships they were aiming at with IV. I only started Lost & Damned, didn't get too far in it.

Your Own Personal El Guapo (kingfish), Friday, 4 October 2013 06:51 (ten years ago) link

i completed lost and damned but i can't remember much about it. most of the characters were jerks iirc

Holy Shirt! (stevie), Friday, 4 October 2013 06:55 (ten years ago) link

Oh wait, there was the club chick who's only purpose was to order you to different sections of the club and fuck you. That part wasn't so hot.

Your Own Personal El Guapo (kingfish), Friday, 4 October 2013 07:06 (ten years ago) link

OK, I've been trying to start an online campaign multiple times since 10/01 to no avail. I'm starting to get fuckin pissed. I can absolutely understand bugs/glitches the first couple of weeks, but I literally cannot get beyond Lamar dropping me off to get my car. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Rod Steel (musicfanatic), Saturday, 5 October 2013 04:33 (ten years ago) link

Try deleting the data for online and starting over

polyphonic, Saturday, 5 October 2013 09:39 (ten years ago) link

Do you do that from within the game or from the xbox interface?

hehe my insured car got stolen by another player who wrecked it, then he had to pay the £500 fee when I claimed on it

the car will probably have disappeared when I play next :/

random accies memories (Sgt. Biscuits), Saturday, 5 October 2013 14:12 (ten years ago) link

One of the people whose shit I recovered e-mailed me that I had $100k of stock in their company in my portfolio now.

"£500", you heard me

all the Americans in this game say "twat" every five seconds anyway :/
