which city for GTA 5?

i was on dis ting earlier!

i'm on dis ting rn (and likely will be all night)

Maybe doing it wrong because ill crew always fast asleep.

ILX crew, not the crew from Kankakee.

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!

otm

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!?

what's the ilx crew again?

ILGG

did that cop ever show up i nthe game? i remember being under the impression that she'd be a character but afaik never appears in the game...

is the arrestee michael's daughter also?

oh ha could be. i didn't think it was supposed to be.

looks too sassy to be her imo

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

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

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.

That's one of the best things I've ever read

i just started playing the online at the weekend and locking my car would have been v handy. how do i shot?

On PSN, you have to hold down the select button. If you just push it, all you do is change the camera angle. But hold it down and a menu will appear with all sorts of neat stuff like who can access your car, what kind of mood is on your face, what's your gesture when you press both L3 and R3 and more.

ah top tip, thx

i have had no adventures of comparable excitement yet, but i did play the mission where you have fighter jets chasing motorbikes and that was amazing fun

I can not fly a fighter jet for shit. I did a race in those the other night and crashed three times.

Three times on my own. Smart-ass 14-year-olds shot me down at least another three times.

un: cedricdaniels

we don't even have to talk if you're the silent type.

Can you permanently steal someone's car? I stole a guys car while he was in the liquor store and it was p dope but I didn't have a garage yet. also was it dumb to get a two car instead of saving for a six car?

i have had no adventures of comparable excitement yet, but i did play the mission where you have fighter jets chasing motorbikes and that was amazing fun

I played this last night, crashed my jet three seconds in, and twenty seconds before the other jet. not a success.

I don't think you can steal another player's car?

A.) Your car is insured and has a tracker, so you're going to see it on the map.

B.) That same menu from the select button has a neat function called "Empty your car". You push the button and everyone in your car gets out.

C.) Personal experience: I was riding with another player in his car when he parks and decides right there to join a mission. He disappears and I'm like Kirk Cameron, left behind in the hell world of freemode. I'm able to drive his car around for a bit, but then the car eventually stops and my guy gets out. When I try to get back into the car, it says I don't have permission.

So there's that.

huh

I am "grbchv" btw

i need to friend y'all up: "gooole", btw

i can see how this wd be fun but i can't get people to stick around in missions that seem like a blast (like that plane vs bike one! so cool). and i find big groups of people repeatedly doing the most boring shit (like the circle lap race around the prison). i guess they're farming money, maybe? idk.

now that i say that, do we have to be xbox friends, or r* social club friends, or what?

i watched my friend play online and it just seems like idk battlefield 1942 or halo w/ much shittier shooting

yeah, as a pure anything it's not great: there are better shooters, better racers, etc. but this is all everything together. there are probably better whore picker upper games out there too.

haha

prob the best part of the online mode was stealing a cop car and chasing other players w/ sirens on

I'm on PSN. If you all are XBL, I don't think you and I can play with each other. I've been looking for you guys through here: http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/crew/ilg_from_ilx

I get in my farm modes like racing around the prison or doing the downtown underground race where you can even earn RP by jumping from the overpass in fine form. But usually everyone's also into the mindlessness of it. If we get to the choose-your-next-adventure screen and someone wants to try a mission or something, I'm usually ok with that too.

There's one mission that's really difficult, but really fun to play. Lester tells you he needs a briefcase that's protected by a dozen surly men on top of the tower under construction downtown. It took me and this one guy five tries before we got it through trial and error. We finally came up with this plan that involved me flying around in the helicopter attracting bullets while he stationed himself across the way on another building with a sniper rifle.

Couple of dudes invited me to the same mission the other night and I accepted. Except they didn't want to get the chopper. I didn't want to be the know-it-all line leader, but c'mon, that building is 40 stories tall, at least. They go running into the property while I go get a helicopter. By the time I made it back, they were already dead. I land at the top and promptly get shot up.

We all hit replay and I say in the mic "i've heard a helicopter works pretty good in this mission." Uh-uh. There they go again running into the lot. I go to the docks to get another damn helicopter and this time, only one of them has been killed by the time I make it back. I see the other guy somewhere on the building, but I figure he's too deep in the structure for me to find him.

So I land the chopper at the top and see if I can grab the briefcase which is just three floors down from the top. I don't make it because it's too insane to do by yourself. I die and go into speculating mode and there's Mr. I Did It My Way, standing on a crane ladder platform about halfway up, just looking out over the city with a 1000 yard stare. Good luck in your future missions, asshole.

Oh man you are reminding me of when I did xp grinding on the hangman's noose mission in gta iv. if all four of you knew what you were doing you could nail it in about 2 minutes. just one asshole though...

is anyone having trouble getting into missions in online?

i choose "quick job, any kind" and i ALWAYS get put into an empty lobby with me as host

I felt bad last night because me and this one dude went into some 10-wave survival mission in Sandy Shores. In the 3rd Round, I get popped and he has to finish it himself. (As long as one player survives the round, everyone else respawns when the new round begins.)

Fourth round begins and I'm running around gathering up ammo and armor. The horde arrives and I get popped without even taking one shot. Guy's been quiet on the mic, but after that, kinda chuckles and goes "damn, dude." He tries his best but can't survive 100-percent of the round all by himself and the mission ends.

Whoops.

I get the same thing too with Quick Job. My best luck comes from physically going into a circle and auto-inviting or just waiting for some random invitation to come over on the phone.

"physically" -- good lord I need help.

yeah sl0ck i've had that happen.

matching can be way weird; i got put into a couple things that where i was a long ways under the min level

i am psn, bobbyspirals. i haven't tried to actively find someone not already on my friends list but the crew thing has to help right? i haven't even looked at that since signing up. i notice on the leaderboard that plains has only payed for half an hour total and i am ranked #1, so clearly that is all working well.

payed=played

oh, it separates us into systems - there are only 4 psn dudes and 16 xboxers? for shame.

yeah, this is str8 broken i guess?

It says our crew is in the top 3500 at darts, that's got to be worth something right?

Sorry I didn't join you for missions last night goole, was about to eat so didn't want to drop out of single player, but will try to get into some with you at some point.

plains has only payed for half an hour total ...

It says our crew is in the top 3500 at darts, that's got to be worth something right?

I switched over from my regular crew to ILGG to see if that would make some of you more visible. When I did, it booted me from my current session to a new one. First voice I heard had a British accent and I was all yep, these are my online pals.

Not saying that voice was any of yours, but it was kinda funny.

Also kinda funny how members of ILGG have discovered their inner Lunas with their characters.

I'm polyphonique on xbla and on social club.

I found the best mission to grind for money :)

Not very good for storytelling purposes tho
