I've been unable to make a character that doesn't look like this
Beadie? Sheeeeeit.
I've just given up trying at this stage. Too worried about my single player file being corrupted.
remember your parents creation combination?Solo mode finally worked for me after trying again and again (PS3). Was also able to join a lobby with one guy in it for the first race.

So when I do the solo play it always drops me into the intro.
The first time I did it, I got dropped into the world.
How can I repeat that?

Progress. My character has saved and I'm able to jump into him no problem. Except every time he keeps trying to do the very first race off the plane and I get hit with
ALERT
Failed to join Job or Activity.
Return to GTA Online.
Which of course kicks me back to SP. Trying again and again.
If you're worried about save file corruption, turn off autosave? I haven't seen any problems of that sort yet.

dave is ok

They actually told us the NDA period never ends - so we can't talk about it
So for anyone playing, are there are random events/missions in the online? From what i've seen on streams so far is only your standard racing, deathmatch and collect missions.
Something I was hoping for the online was more random events happening around you which nearby players just could jump into and do.

If companies want us to accept always online gaming, they better fucking prove to us at some point that they can handle it. The expectation SHOULD be that they get it right on day 1. To lose that as your expectation for a game company is not the road we should take.
These expectations are realistic when faced with the notion that these companies want to move gaming to an "always connected" experience. We need to continue to hold these companies accountable, especially when their shitty online release fucks up people's single player save games like this one.
Sarcasm? Not even close. Yeah yeah you paid your money and you want something to work. It doesn't. Oh well. It will soon enough. It's a freaking video game. Go find something else to do in the meantime. Once the online portion starts working you'll be able to play your precious little game.
Am I disappointed it's not working? Sure. If course. It's not the end of the world that most of you are making it out to be.
This was to be expected.

Exact same situation here.
Got in and did a few missions, played a game of teamdeath match with my starter pistol while everyone else had uzi's and assault rifles lol. It was actually pretty fun. Did a mission where you get to pick your car and upgrade it as well. Now I just hope my character doesn't delete itself. On 360 btw.

When I pick Solo Mode, I drop back into the car park and auto walk over to the car, get in and then the "activity" fails to load.
If I could just avoid the race and get into free roam...

Ha, Saints Row games are great, just no where near as good as GTA, except for character creating.
I got to play for about 3 hours this morning and had no glaring issues in game or connecting. I did have one guy lagging and skipping around the screen but everyother player was good and my lobby was filled the whole time.
IMPRESSIONS: it plays just like single player except u can see others free roaming and choose to battle or do your own thing. I was impressed. Everything combat wise seemed responsive. I did no missions so no comment there. If u do get in i recommend going straight to ammu nation and getting ammo i ran out after my first battle. U lose money with each death so put it in passive roam if u wanna just feel things out.

It's hilarious. I love it. Capped two guys then a third wasted me.
My guy who is called Heisenberg.

Just played the multiplayer mode "Hippy Hunting"
2 teams race to kill this hippy, steal his weed, and bring it back to their base. I didn't make it to him in time and the other crew killed him, but before they could pick up the weed I nabbed it and jumped off this cliff. There were two other people that drove off the cliff after me and I hijacked one of their cars and hightailed it back to base. Awesome.
So many awesome gametypes..

Exact same here, have to return to dashboard because it still seems to sit loading for 15 mins.
it takes longer than 5 seconds for the stupid google earth thing to finish.
then it loads up some cutscene thats just as long.
when MP loads the guy is just standing there, none of this extra disposition.
and ive seen all 5 in rotation already "hey baby want a date, sorry im back with my wife" "okay kids watch this movie" "heres some money jimmy" "still takin out the trash" yup, the loading sign went away about 30 seconds ago, you can just cut to the part where i can actually control the game just like after the game is loaded and you switch between characters with them standing or driving, i dont need that extra crap. patch the game to turn that crap off if you beat the main story.
all this extra ballyhoo is worse than the customer service menu options run-around, but atleast i can mash on Zero and by pass that, hittin every button does nothing, i have to watch Trevor puke into a fountain then stumble around for a few minutes and yell at someone before i gain controll, this is great, now multiply that with how many times ive seen it now that this MP aspect which is broken caused me to keep reloading SP

Awesome, thanks - I just hope the missions are well designed and capture some of the feeling that's present in the single player.
I wonder if they're doing anything with the casino and horseracing track soon. Seems like it's been put in (and well detailed) for a reason.
...although it's incredibly fun to just zoom around the track.

Not sure on the save thing. But I restarted after getting an error and it was fine and loaded my SP progress.

Okay so I just tried pressing circle instead of X when hit with the "Failed to join Job" screen and something...weird happened. I saw the cutscene continue a little bit, then a blurred image of the city. I could press X and hear noises like I'm setting options but otherwise I can't see or do anything. Had to restart.
I completely agree, and yet after countless failed launches I have lost trust that they will deliver
"You know what would be a great way to introduce GTA Online? A street race you can't avoid. A blue circle of hell that you approach every time you take step one of this journey. Add a healthy dose of anxiety that if you back out of that "loading" purgatory... you may just fuck up a 60 hour save game. So good!"

It's just a title update, it will work for anyone that boots up GTAV.

Man, if this was always online.. I'd be seriously pissed. Can't even do a solo session on PS3.
Nah, I should've noted that.
Anyway, has anyone else noticed how much smoother the frame rate is in Solo mode? I'm cruising on a bike at dusk right now and it feels so much better than Single. Is it because of the fewer pedestrians/vehicles on the map? If so, it's definitely worth the trade-off.

Shit. I forgot to get a XBL Gold card for this. I posted in the buy/sell trade but no luck so far. If anyone know where I can buy a 1-3 month card online I'd be happy.
