Oh God, no.

How is it possible that they do this more!? It's what made me sell my PS4 copy originally.

They have.

Exit and I were doing the Pacific Standard bike setup mission, and the dash back to the garage was made nigh-on impossible by the damn AI. Not just cops, but random peds swerving in to us both, knocking us off the bike(s) and failing the mission.

 

[Lashley]

They better fucking fix it

[BKSmash]

Nice!!

 

[Lashley]

Unlockable caps?

Sure why not

 

[Striker]

My game seemingly reset. Had to recalibrate, update my settings, and now my handbrake is R1 instead of X. Strange since it was fine earlier this afternoon.

The AI is tough as hell in the Lamar missions. They're tougher to bring down it seems.

Yeah, this happened to me after the update installed. Hopefully it's a one time thing. I was lucky and had old screen caps of my sensitivity settings.

Next time this happens just quit out of the game and start it up again a few minutes later - you don't ever actually lose your bindings.

You can spot this as a problem if the game asks you to recalibrate your brightness and the like when you start up the game. Still happens to me from time to time.

(At least, that's the usual problem and workaround. I don't know if this new patch changed things further.)

 

[Interfectum]

Are they doing any Halloween event this year? I want a pumpkin in my apt. =(

 

[Mastah]

Yep, Halloween content is already, at least partly, included in Lowriders DLC:

[Lashley]

I need to log on today for my free cap!

 

[ExitPlanetDust]

Ugh, I almost always miss out on the events. Way too much going on to even fire up the PS4 for a few minutes.

 

[Lashley]

I like how idiots would rather kick me and wait a further 20 minutes for someone else in a heist/mission because I'm on my level 5

 

[Boombox On]

So I just bought the PC version on tuesday and I've really wanted to do the lowrider, but I've kind of wanted to run with people who can put up with my newness.

Anyone willing to do that tomorrow evening?

 

[The Albatross]

So even with this "Featured Adversary Playlist" you can't get into games with more than 2 other people. It's complete shit. Waiting around for 20 minutes finally get 3 people into an adversary mode. Changing the color of the box to red really makes a big difference...

It's been like this for 2 yers. It's like Rockstar doesn't know at all and is clueless. Do they even play their own game?

 

[Setsuna]

At that level you are mostly a liability

 

[Symphonia]

At that level you are mostly a liability

Sad, but true. You'll have low-level weapons, no armor, crap cars. It just isn't worth the risk, pal. Sorry.

 

[The Albatross]

Played the new adversary modes, relay race and the blocker & runner race. Pretty fun both of them, nice take on traditional races. F course would be sublime with 8 skilled players who know how to play. My session was still fine

 

[Lashley]

how? I'm level 221 on my PS4 character

It was a level 10 mission ffs hahaha, I have armor and a decent enough car

 

[Striker]

They can buy all the weapons on the right side of the wall in Ammu-nation. So the only one they're really missing out on is the Assault Shotgun. Still can get Bullpup Rifle and the Special Carbine, plus the Homing RPG. Armor is a big deal though. As for cars, all that truly matters in heists is using a Kuruma which they can buy if they've completed the Fleeca heist. I've seen dudes in the 100's who are simply clueles too and cannot drive.

I played Runner/Blocker yesterday. Pretty fun. But good lord, my driver stunk. No other blockers were hitting him much but he still was rallying so far behind by wrecking into AI cars or spinning out.

 

[The Albatross]

So I've been playing GTA V to 100% it and just do everything, and one thing I've wanted to do was Franklin's wildlife photography stuff which I started months ago. Is there any way to go back and get your old text/emails that the game automatically deletes? Or, is there any way to see what you've done and haven't done? Having a hard time remembering. Same goes for Trevor's bail bonds missions... If you haven't done them in a while they're lost, but I was able to use the Social Club website to figure it out basically. Game is flawed in that way that everything is a text/email, and if you haven't done one of those missions in a while you're SOL basically.

With missions I don't understand why anyone would kick you, but for heists a level 5 is going to struggle big time. It's great that you're level 221 on a different platform, but the other players can't see that. A level 5 would generally be completely unfamiliar with the game mechanics, have nearly no body armour, and most likely has no access to decent weapons or vehicles due to money constraints. Heists just aren't designed for level 5 characters.

Your best bet is to grind Fleeca a bit to level up quickly, or connect a mic and let the other players know as soon as you're in the lobby that this is your second character and you know what you're doing and have access to all of the weapons and vehicles you need. Even then armour is going to be a problem for a couple of the heists.

[Mr. Luchador]

Finally hooked on the PC Version of GTA Online, but I need people to play with. Also, I can't believe there are no wrestling masks online!

 

[bud23]

From now through November 16th on PS4, Xbox One and PC. And no tricks here – once acquired these special items will remain in your inventory, even after November 16th.

2 NEW VEHICLES: LURCHER HEARSE AND FRANKEN STANGE

NEW MASKS & FACE PAINTS

SLASHER ADVERSARY MODE

[Lashley]

will hop on later

 

[Lashley]

The matchmaking is so FUCKING SHIT

Been on an hour. Lucky if I've played a mission more than 10 minutes. People are fucking stupid and randomly leave too.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

I broke down and bought the PC version, I was going to hold off a little longer but, I don't like missing things and I guess it was close enough to my price... I still feel dirty not holding out longer.

 

[Symphonia]

So Exit and I got together with a couple of randoms from our friend lists on PSN and mucked around in free roam and tried out the new 'Slasher' adversary mode. That shit is God-tier in first-person mode, especially on the Humane Lab map.

 

[Marvie_3]

Is anybody up for a new GAF XB1 crew? Would be nice to get some solid mission/heist partners for a change.

 

[Lashley]

Aye I will

Do we have to talk on the mic though? I HATE talking to randomers haha

 

[Symphonia]

I keep getting the "Files required to play GTA Online could not be downloaded from the Rockstar Games Service. Return to Grand Theft Auto V..." message. Anyone else getting it?

[brokenbeans]

I'm in.

 

[Marvie_3]

I had 1 mill saved up so i bought the turismo and the franken stange. The franken is well worth the money, looks good, sounds good and handles pretty well for a muscle car.



Me as well. I usually play the missions everyday, plus i still need to do the heists, wouldn't mind going through them all with the same group to get all the bonuses.

Same here. Ive never been able to get the loyalty bonus one.

I can get a new GAF crew set up tonight or tomorrow morning. I'll post the link in here when its done!

 

[BKSmash]

That would be perfect! I'll be playing all evening (european) so if someone wants to do something, just message me!

 

[ExitPlanetDust]

Anyone want to get together for a heist or two tonight on PS4? I need some GTA$ so I can grab some of the Halloween content. I won't be able to play again for several days after tonight.

Yeah, this was legit god-tier. Humane Labs was so intense I had to quit for a bit after a few rounds. Slasher mode could be a game by itself.

I'm up for some heists, pal, and maybe a few games of Slasher. I will, of course, be recording/streaming using my Elgato.

Franken Stange is a nice ride. Slasher I'm playing now in a playlist.

Of course, though I can't say until which time. I'll try and do at least one run through of the Pacific Standard heist though.

 

[Lonestar]

I'll try to log in some for these new items. Also need to try out this Lamar stuff from a couple weeks ago.

 

[BKSmash]

Are the masks and the halloween makeup going to disappear after this update ends? I really hope not.

 

[bud23]

No, they will remain in your inventory.

 

[thecosmicfly]

So, are there any Neogaf peeps on PS4 still wanting/needing to attempt the All in Order/Loyalty/Criminal Mastermind challenge some time this month? Would be great to get all of them out of the way at last but I can understand CM being daunting. At least with the former 2 challenges the only committment needed is time, but only if people did commit and didn't bail after a day or two. So how 'bout it?

 

[Lashley]

Got one of the Halloween cars today. Need the other and the masks before the leave.

Do I need to buy the face paints to keep them too?

I've been trying to put this together (CM) for months. And yeah, the biggest challenge is time/schedule.

I set aside two days a couple of weeks ago and it was the same old story: Everyone swears they're serious and then that one person is MIA. No messages, no explanation, just doesn't show up. Blows the whole thing.

I'm going to have the place to myself the week before Thanksgiving. I'll be working, but home by 8pm central US time. If those hours work for you, we can get together with another two and run through it over a few days. A few hours at night over 2 or 3 days should be enough.
