kinda wanna talk about the soundtrack more itt -- what are all y'all's go-to stations? What songs will you steal a car just because it's playing and you wanna hear it better? What are the duds?

I had Trevor get in a car once and the radio was playing "What a Fool Believes".

He said something like "What is this shit?" and changed it to the Black Flag channel.

Got sick of the hardcore station real quick cuz it's Trevor's default and I've heard most of those songs a hundred times to begin with.

the soulwax station is great for racing

West Coast Classics
Lowdown 91.1
Los Santos Classic Rock - nothing like "Baker Street" coming on and starting a brawl just like in Good Will Hunting
Soulwax

pplains, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 21:55 (ten years ago) link

there's lots of good stuff but so far i havent found like "my" station.

i like the space disco one, forget its name

socki (s1ocki), Wednesday, 23 October 2013 22:03 (ten years ago) link

oh yeah the lowdown is the funk and soul one right?

socki (s1ocki), Wednesday, 23 October 2013 22:03 (ten years ago) link

dont listen to the hardcore one very much as i realized i dont really enjoy hardcore music anymore! (did i ever?)

socki (s1ocki), Wednesday, 23 October 2013 22:04 (ten years ago) link

kinda sick of all of them. but i love "if you leave me now" a little bit more.

goole, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 22:05 (ten years ago) link

If "Music Sounds Better With You" or "I'd Rather Be With You" ever come on then I immediately switch over, just cannot beat driving fast in this game with "Music Sounds Better" blaring out. "Night Nurse" is also a gimme if I'm doing some cruising in one of the missions while the dialogue's going on. But otherwise I like Radio Los Santos and the FlyLo one

the 'modern rock' one is way bad

goole, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 22:08 (ten years ago) link

The hardcore station was cool back when it was the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 soundtrack

polyphonic, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 22:09 (ten years ago) link

Best soundtrack was Grind Session.

The multiplayer lobby is focused on 4p+ missions, so if you want to do another 2p you should quit back to the map

Yeah this is where it was going wrong for us, when we dropped back to the map we'd end up in different sessions. Might get better luck next time though.

Go to station for me is Mirror Park, which is maybe a terrible thing to admit. But there's nothing on there I knew already, and very little I don't like.

I had Trevor get in a car once and the radio was playing "What a Fool Believes".

He said something like "What is this shit?" and changed it to the Black Flag channel.

That happened to me too and I got really angry with him for it.

I love the hardcore channel, not least for Keith Morris' DJing. Love the fact that the one Black Flag tune on the station is the one that Chuck and not Greg Ginn wrote.

But my go to is perhaps the soul/funk station, then the space disco station, then the classic rock station, then the pop station (which always seems to be playing Amerie, which is awesome). My favourite thing is listening to lachrymose AOR while committing foul crimes - remember sweet memories of bad behaviour in Vice City soundtracked by John Waite's Missing You...

Defund Phil Collins (stevie), Thursday, 24 October 2013 09:17 (ten years ago) link

Soulwax
Flymo
Worldwide

i'm not as enamored w/ the soundtrack as most players seem to be :/

the real answer here is "beyond insemination"

The soundtrack is fine but I don't pay attention to it that much tbh

I miss the classical/opera stuff from GTA3

polyphonic, Thursday, 24 October 2013 17:49 (ten years ago) link

As I mentioned upthread, I miss the original songs from GTA3

Haha no worries. First time seeing a familiar face in GTAO!

Wish GTA offered DLC packs for the soundtrack - assuming you have 4-5 stations that you enjoy listening to, 6-8 songs per, it doesn't take long to burn out. $5 and I get 8 new tracks for each station? Sold.

Got my own shitty apartment. So nice having a garage. Ordered up the free Elegy at last since I now have a place to put it.

The TV thing where you can watch other players adds a whole new weird element to this game. I had grabbed an expensive car to take to Simeon, and while I was heading down the highway, everyone got booted off. It was suddenly an open session and I was the only player.

I drop the car off and head back to the apartment. It's 15-20 minutes later. I turn on the TV and see there are two other players back in the session - one ranked 9 and the other ranked 44. No. 9's just out and about ramping his motorcycle downtown and it doesn't take long for No. 44 to come up and shoot him. I watch it all on TV.

So it's just No. 44 and me now, but I'm on the couch. He starts robbing liquor stores. I also see that despite his ranking, he can't drive his motorcycle for shit. I say what the hell, maybe I'll got out and find this guy. He's got a lot of cash from the robberies.

I go outside and see his blip is about a block away. I walk toward him and we both just pause. Suddenly, I hear sirens in the distance. His blip takes off like a banshee the other way. And that's when a cop who's apparently chasing him smashes right through me in the middle of the crosswalk and I die right there.

pplains, Friday, 25 October 2013 20:59 (ten years ago) link

brilliant. the fact you watched it on tv for a bit is what makes it.

Saw one guy getting chased by the cops - he landed a helicopter inside the military base and stole an airplane. Then he lands the plane to grab the contents of a crate, gets shot at by some cops, shoots the cops, grabs the police car and starts ramping over the cliffs.

Best part is that not only was it on TV, but it was being covered by Weazel News like it was the OJ chase. Drove by the guy later as I was looking to update the Elegy and I was all, Hey, it's the guy from TV.

pplains, Saturday, 26 October 2013 05:34 (ten years ago) link

PPlains, don't stop these posts anytime soon ok? It's almost better than playing.

None of you are ever on this thing.

I also suspect that you all aren't really women either.

Maybe doing it wrong because ill crew always fast asleep.

pplains, Sunday, 27 October 2013 06:59 (ten years ago) link

ILX crew, not the crew from Kankakee.

pplains, Sunday, 27 October 2013 06:59 (ten years ago) link

flying around last night came across a cool looking smugglers cove. Landed my chopper on a neaby beach but in my excitement just ran straight into my rear propellers.

ouch.

[spoiler alert regarding the epsilon missions]

It felt good to finish this set of missions with a big fuck you to the high priest haha. Fuck you for making me wear those robes for 10 days straight. Fuck you for making me walk around the desert all that time and fuck you and thanks for the money asshole!

goole, Sunday, 27 October 2013 15:50 (ten years ago) link

antexit and i were playing last night and the matchmaking/team-making was SO WEIRD! in every game where it wasnt just the two of us, it would routinely put us on different teams, despite the fact that we are "friends" and are in the same crew. isnt the whole point of crews that you end up on the same team in missions? as well, it kept putting me (level 7) with another low-level player, and putting antexit (level 20) with a player around that level. why!?

socki (s1ocki), Sunday, 27 October 2013 15:53 (ten years ago) link

what's the ilx crew again?

explored so much of this game but still coming across new shit and missions.

and holy shit finishing that epsilon stuff has given me more hidden items to find

prop forward turned celebrity chef (Ste), Monday, 28 October 2013 22:12 (ten years ago) link

a neat touch. was giving some criminal a lift and innocently drove past a police station. the guy bailed out of the car accusing me of turning him in

Drop soap, not bombs (Ste), Monday, 28 October 2013 22:29 (ten years ago) link

There's this guy in one my crews, lilfreely, who's just his own man when it comes to freemode. Usually when you're in a crew, you look out for each other, but lilfreely's just out to have fun, I guess.

His wardrobe is currently a green lizard face and a white cowboy hat with nothing else. He pulls up next to me after I appear on the board, jumps on top of his car. I get out to see what he's doing and he leaps off and punches me in the face. Then he gets back into his car and takes off. I follow him.

We get to some apartment building and he disappears. I park down a ramp toward the garage and go look for the apartment door. While I'm gone, I see this white dot appear - a noncrew member. I creep back around to the street entrance of the ramp just in time to see some random person trying to take off with my car. I shoot them up pretty good. When they reappear, they come after me and I shoot them again. The cops start coming for me, so I peel away.

After driving damn near to the east side and losing my wanted level, I check the map and see that lilfreely is chasing down the some random player that stole my car down by Vespucci Beach. I take off down there, and not only is he chasing her, he's somehow got one of those giant 25-foot tall dump trucks you usually only see at the quarry. She jumps out of her car and he runs over it. It explodes. Her crew shows up, and one guy jumps up the ladder and pulls lilfreely out. We're on the beach now with lots of room, so I try to throw a sticky bomb onto the truck and miss. It just lands on the ground by the water.

First random player now has a four wheeler and guns it for lilfreely who somehow jumps up and lands a punch just as the four-wheeler knocks him back on to the sand. Guy who stole the truck has abandoned it to go get his own four wheeler so I jump up there. I drive it down by the water and park the front of it right over the sticky bomb I can't pick up. I get out and start throwing fists.

Player who stole my car now runs over to the dump truck to steal that. I've been waiting for this. She climbs up the ladder and right as she's about to get in, BLAM, I trigger the sticky bomb. It's real stiff how her body flies over the beach and into the ocean, no rag doll stuff, but I'm impressed with myself. lilfreely comes up beside me and we stand there looking at his dump truck burn. He turns to me and starts punching me again.

I get away, but my health is depleted. I never even see the car thief respawn and hit me over the head with a cro bar. That's when I finally die as she runs back toward my car, which thankfully, I've learned to lock.
