Same with me man, the whole bad sport thing is just fucking dumb. In a game like GTA for doing stuff which you do in GTA being cut off from friends is so so stupid.
Why couldn't they of just gone with a vote kick system or something?

Yeah I've been warned a bunch of times that I did a bad sport behavior and could end up being branded one. The problem is every time I've been warned it's because I either had to unplug my ps3 thanks to a lock up during Online or some Rockstar server issue booted me and my friends and when I came back it said I left early. It's beyond incompetent that's for sure.
There should be some sort of forgiveness option for the person who's car got blow up. Why didn't Rockstar think of this in the first place?

There shouldn't even be a need for that. Its GTA what do people expect? Charge people a fee for blowing up a car and that should be the end of it.

Two part question:
1. Is there any way to change your crew tag (the 4 letter plate) after the crew has been created?
2. If R* deems said tag offensive then do they just delete the crew or just make you change it?
edit: looks like they flat out delete it

I think the whole playing with friends and the experiences during missions/races/deathmatches/etc is getting lost amidst the complaints. The complaints are valid, for the most part. I just think that the experiences with a good group of fans, those moments that happen are what this online mode is going to be remembered for.

Yeah, I hope..as Rockstar has said, that they will be responsive to the community's concern with the game and update accordingly.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
It gives you XP. I found out because I spawned in my apartment in the shower and had Pusha T's new album playing on my laptop. Fuckin hilarious.
Shouldve wrote down their number bruh
Haha; that would be great. I just got done watching it again; makes it seem so cool, everyone getting along, etc.

that's 75% of Black Ops 2 total sales in 1 week
i mistakenly used Black Ops 2 thinking every COD title just increases each year but its sales are actually lower than Modern Warfare 3 which is the best selling game to date on both platforms (excluding Kinectimals)
Grand Theft Auto 5: 20,491,097
Modern Warfare 3: 15,115,091
first 2 weeks

From my experience, whatever car you had before the number disappeared is gone for good. Had it happen to a car I put 100k into, I wept. Also, if you purchase a paint job for a car, it does not stay unlocked. You have to repay if you ever want to try a different color.

Wow....
I really wish they would tell you that buying one property will replace another of the same type...
Just lost the garage I got for free with the social club by buying one with the exact same capacity. I wanted to double up and have more cars but instead I'm in the exact same situation and without a penny.
GTAO is fun, but there's just so much wrong with it right now.
It wouldn't be such a big deal if you didn't earn absolute pittance from just about everything and lose so much for dying. Guess I should invest some real cash and buy some GTA$, right? Fuck that.

That website is not a reliable source.....

Which is the free garage w/ Social Club? I have a free one however I thought it was for buying the Collectors Edition...
Yeah, I honestly didn't have a problem with VD being lowered. I even understand why Rockstar patched out the R2/RT restart (although I do think they could've handled the exploits without removing that function).
My biggest problem with online is the fact that so much is locked behind the RP system. I get that the "carrot-on-a-stick" progression system is common amongst all online games, but come on. Some of the weapons should be unlocked WAY earlier than they are presently. Add to the fact that you have to buy ammo constantly, the game just feels like there are two paywalls of sorts.
Then again, I might just be playing wrong. It seems like you're really benefiting from playing with friends. I've mostly been playing with randoms, so it hasn't been easy for me to level and/or get cash.
Yup! I wouldn't mind the idea as such if it didn't exclude you from your friends. Ok sure exclude me from random people because I am "reckless" or whatever, but if a friend invites you, or you invite a friend, they are clearly accepting any bad sportsmanship you may have because they don't care. Why should I not be able to join a lobby, that is PRIVATE when I am invited? So dumb!

Dat housing bubble.
Was on a bike ride around town in free roam and some dick shot me. It's like they want me to be unhealthy.
Yeah my friends are mostly telling me they just want to free roam but because Rockstar locked so much behind the level system, and because we get penalized so hard for dying, it's really stopping us from just running around and doing whatever like in GTA 4. We're not being creative and exploring because we're too busy doing GTA 4-like missions to level up to unlock things that should already be available (like why did we have to get to ~6 just to unlock tennis/golf?).
I feel like they let the allure of the constant F2P money stream and features get in the way of typical GTA fun. They don't even let us do missions how we want because it might be too easy and thus not keep us occupied enough, meaning we'd make money too fast. For example on a tough mission where we had to collect drugs I had finally leveled enough to buy grenades so I told my friends "don't worry it'll be easy now"....except you can't blow up the vehicles by the drugs because it blows up with them. So we were stuck doing it the slow, difficult way again.

This is why I play freeroam only in private sessions.You really should get money for killing people in free roam. I mean you lose 2k when you kill them/they kill you so you should at least get something
Actually felt bad killing someone today
Stopped after the 10th time as he had no weapons

Pretty sure that is a glitch... I bought an apt, my friend was showering, and it said "Someone is in the bathroom" and didn't let me in. That's awesome tho.

Man, deathmatch sucks. And that's like half the missions right now.
Why does it take so long for some Co-op?

Glad to see people here are getting to be higher levels and seeing how flawed the bad sport system really is.
I mean, not glad that they can't play with their friends for two days, of course. But glad that some attention is being called to the awful system. It seriously needs a revamp. Blowing up cars should not lead to locking you out of features.

That's probably it then, I dunno which content is from the CE and which is from the SC.
Wait, I think the SC garage is for SP and the CE garage is for GTA:O. I have a 10 car garage for SP from buying the CE. The CE garage for MP is on Popular St.

On the bright side, GAF Bay's emblem finally went through with the transparency, can't wait to trick out my ride in game.
Bought 0504 S. Mo. Milton Dr. for $141K last night. Decent mid-sized apartment (6 car garage), but sadly the windows are covered in drapes. 
Wish the listings had interior views. At least it comes stocked with whiskey, beer, and a giant TV!
For anyone who's gotten further in the "main" missions, does it ever expand beyond "shoot group of dudes, take car/drugs"? Bring on the real heists!

I haven't killed anyone in free roam that hasn't killed me.
I can agree with this.
It seems like a waste of time to play free roam if you're trying to save for an apartment.
When you spawn into free roam with people after a mission and they kill you (especially with a car as you're trying to bank your cash) the respawn is so close that they can usually kill you 2-3 times consecutively.
Guess I'll be sticking to private and inv only free roams.

And whats the point of stealth? I'm almost certain even when I'm sneaking my blip is on the map.
In deathmatch, anyway.

I kill anyone that comes 100 yards of me. Not taking any risks. Clan or not
Wait, so if I have a 10 car garage apartment, can I buy a standalone garage?
Eh, I'd make it more obvious
If you remove the blips, or even set them to appear when you're outside a miles radius, the death trolls will plummet immediately. You're only dying so much because you're so exposed. Take away that crutch and everyone will be more cautious.

I pretty much take the same approach. I try to scare them off first, but if that doesn't work, I'll mow 'em down. I ain't playin' no patsy.
