GTA V PC |OT| Benny Hill Sped Up Fake Gamey Edition

Thanks. Had to start the game up with the landing page on, and not just turn it on. I guess the landing page loads some things that the short-cuts don't.

Haha yep. I've posted that fix in this thread over 5 times now. This is the first time I forgot to say restart the game. My bad :p

This advice worked for me in another mission that kept freezing. Thanks again.

Good to hear it helps you mate.

Finally hosted and beat all the heists, in order. Whew. The last heist finale was crazy
(ended up with the lowest cut possible LOL oh well)
but its nice to know that I beat them all and now can just go back to them and play them all for fun and $$$.

Yeah I felt the same way. Last heist is definitely the best. It's an amazing experience when you have a great team.
 
So me and two friends are waiting for a friend in a heist-lobby, but he can't join because it randomly disconnects to singleplayer and crashes (which happens a lot, as you may know). When he finally manages to join, my other two friends are kicked because they are idle? So we have to restart the lobby, wait for the absurd loading be over and then play.

And they charge $60 for this.
 
What's the new of the crew people are signing up to, in here?

http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/crew/neogang_pc Here ya go. Send a request, I'll approve it.

O, so you didn't play the fantastic 20+ hour single-player campaign?

Me either. And I have 80 hours of play.

I need money because I bought that stupid infiltrator turret truck, so I'll help people do heists (assuming host will be doing a 40/20/20/20 split). I've only completed the first 3, but I'm competent.

Steam: XAL53

Has anyone been able to get GTA5 non-steam to launch with steam? I tried adding the .exe to non-steam games list and it doesn't work right. :/
 
I'm gonna delete all social club requests so that I can manage the new ones easier, sorry if this inconveniences you, but send another request and post in this thread and I'll approve it. The reason being is that there are 63 requests, and I'm not gonna verify that.

I sent one a while ago, can you accept it :) username same as here.

I got you.

I don't get the appeal of online. I'm part of the Neogaf crew but what does that even mean apart from having the crew logo on my cellphone and shirt? All the events I join there's no one. Free roaming there's just like 5 dudes max doing nothing. I just completed a race by myself and won xp and money? What? I don't get it. Maybe when I play the heists with my friends but so far it's boring.
 
Nope, but I have 100 hours online. I'm having fun when it works but the issues takes away a lot from it.

Just now I was racing with two of my friends, I was the host and all of a sudden I'm kicked because the lobby is "full". I don't even

Fundamentally, I agree with you, I just wanted to point out that it does have a great 1 player story and that is part of the total $60. So you could say you payed $30 for an incositant online experiece and you'd be right.

Is it normal to get stuck in the sky viewing the city after a gta online job? Had to end the game via task manager.

When a friend and I tried out the heist for the first time last night it stuck us both in a white screen after the heist setup. He had to quit out of the game and then it started working again for me. When I looked it up I saw some people had mentioned it on the Rockstar support community so it might be something they're working on?


I got the story finished so now to work on wrapping up stuff and collectibles. I will start focusing on the Online mode now that I have the story done too.

For the community thread for planning and events I was trying to come up with a way to allow us to vote on stuff to come up with ideas or themes for sessions (such as races, deathmatch, heists etc) to focus on occasionally. Would something like a Google drive survey setup so members can see the link give us a fair polling of everyone?
 
Trevor's like a cartoon character. So insufferable and out of place, like pretty much every character in GTA5. Makes me long for the Niko days.
I'm fairly certain GTA Online is developed by one guy who has never played a multiplayer game before. It's so fucking shit it's unbelievable.

This is an accurate description of GTA Online. Loading screens and lobbies are half of the gameplay. At least the set-up is rather novel.

Edit: Whoops, I forgot to mention that the multiplayer is really fun when actually playing. But, as mentioned, it takes forever to happen so you need to commit, like, an afternoon to play a couple matches of something.

Nah. GTA Online is what happens when a team fixates on fancy sounding but ultimately unfeasible ideas.

Everything but free mode is a mess that's tied together by a lobby system that attempts to emulate a persistent world. It just doesn't work.

I mean on one hand there are things like the phone, game modes that are placed in the world and the heist room. On the other there are load screens and menus, which are the complete opposite of that. Why would anyone want to waste their time messing around with their phone, or going to a location on the map to search for a game if you end up in a menu or load screen anyways?

They tried to make it a persistent experience, but it's just a waste of time.

Whatever happened to server browsers?
 
My gripe with GTA Online is that the game is inviting my offline friend.
My heist won't ever start if an offline friend is taking a slot for it.

Most of the time, I just play online by myself.
I treat it as a single player GTA with my own character. Jobs from Lamar, Gerald, Simeon, Ron, and Trevor are still fun (and most challenging) to do alone.

so that whole Trevor introduction mission sure was something o_O

why does Rockstar treat The Lost like shit since GTA4 lol. Wasnt Johnny the guy you played in the DLC?
I think the scene was a good example of anti-fan service, or a parody of fan service at the very least, and I really like the narrative choice by Rockstar.

So many franchises cling to characters for far too long. I like that there isn't too much from GTA IV moved over to V. Having Luis, Niko and Jonny turn up would have been really jarring considering Liberty City is on the other side of the country. The other cameos are nice and I feel like Rockstar really got it right.
 
Anyone else getting crashes on the mission "Pack Man?" Seems to happen 100% of the time after the police start chasing me.

What's annoying is that it takes at least 10 minutes to get to that point every damn time I boot up the game. Can't complete story mode until I find a way to finish it....

I haven't gotten around to many artsy shots because I'm kind of too busy just playing the game but here's one where I just happened across this neat little waterfall.

I'll agree with the sentiment that online is a giant fucking mess of lading screens and terrible lobbies. Why couldn't they just make dedicated servers and quick instances for certain missions.

The game does so much so well but this really holds it back.
