Forgive me for being dumb, but the OP doesn't render correctly for me, so I'm not sure how to do that.

No, its just the R* social club version, the only way to get the Steam version is to buy it from Steam.
I was just playing around in the video editor with some clips of last nights shenanigans.

Yeah thunderstorms occur naturally but they're kind of rare in my experience (guess they should be), but you can replicate any type of weather you want with that new native trainer that was released recently.
Another moment I enjoyed was switching to Micheal when he is parked near the hills, hes leaning against his sedan looking down onto the city at night, seeing all the those lights down there moving along looked awesome.

I'm so glad you caught these clips. I have them too from the regular angle too. I'll have to dig through them and post later. We are the two best friends that anyone could have.

FWIW
R* gave me 500,000 GTA$ 2 days ago to make amends for this. Their email reply was this:
So avoid doing that. As it happens, this wasn't the glitch that lost me my car as I don't have a full garage, but they gave my money back so I can't be bothered with correcting them. My car was replaced in two different scenarios, but the thing that both had in common was that the car that I lost was on the street as I was putting other stolen cars into garages (I was going around in an owned car, stealing Ballers and Oracles and putting them into garages to sell to LSC, leaving the garage, getting back into my owned car and repeat) so I recommend not driving any car into your garage if you've already got a car on the street; if you plan to go out looking for cars to steal, do it in stolen transport.
It is nice that R* got back to me quickly and refunded my money tho

You have to make a call to the insurance company (Mors Mutual in contacts) and pay a small fee (a percentage of the car cost), then go pick it up.
Krappadizzle

Wrong. If his friend blew it up, his buddy would have to pay. So it's free to get your car replaced as long as you haven't aggroed the murderer.

On keyboard, you exchange cover by pressing the direction and space bar which makes you move to adjacent cover but I had no idea you could also fire while moving.

Ahh, i thought they changed that, but after reading the wiki on it, it does show that.

It's switched back a forth a few times when some people whined about (1%lol) which takes less than 5 mins to earn so I'm not surprised you remember it that way. They don't know what they want out of GTA. It's way too unstable to be considered finished IMO. But it's still amazingly fun doing shit with your friends.

yeah, which kind of makes sense from a realism point of view but it is certainly annoying.
iirc when you're modding the car and change the rims a couple of times, it even makes you rebuy the rims that you previously bought even if you go back in with the same car. I think buying car mods should be like buying clothes, once you own them you can switch around for free, from your personal garage or from inside LSC. especially for Rims because it would be nice to have 4 or 5 of your favorite rims to switch up when you feel like it.
edit
WOW, pimp.Also you can add a facial hair underlay, so the beard options don't look nearly as bad.
I was holding off messing with the trainer as R* were digging around in my account for support reasons, i might give it a go soon. still a bit nervous as we don't know how Rockstar might deal with people using it :\

I really need to get ShadowPlay working again so I can start recording some of our crazy cop throw downs and grudge matches with other players.
Grabbed a couple of ok shots, but most of the ones I tried to take with the in-game camera came out all pixelated and not worth much.

100% achieved, now to wrap up the remaining stunt jumps (which are fucking annoying because for most it's not intuitive where you are supposed to land your vehicle) and few remaining strangers & freaks missions, before fully getting into the online portion.

As I said some time earlier in the thread, I played with the 360 controller, and I've found that it works wonders. Driving around San Andreas with vibration on, is an amazing experience. You drive around the desert, the mountains, the forests, and you feel it in your hands, it's like holding a steering wheel and driving yourself. The fact that the vibration changes during the few second you need to go over a wooden or metallic bridge goes to show how much detail R* put in the game.
The only time I used kb+m was at the shooting challenges in Ammunation, because they required precision that I couldn't achieve with the analog stick.
I'm 90% 360 controller, jumping to kb/m if I need to do some precision shooting. Nice to have the best of both worlds.
Some have proclaimed the advantages of doing everything including driving with kb/m, but I can't get into it. Besides, the UI is very much built for controllers. (I love the weapon switching.)

Would like to know this too. I wish there were cheaper apartments or they at least started you off in a little shitty one. I like turning everything and anything into an rpg and right now my character feels homeless
Heists are the best way to earn RP and money, but you might get kicked a lot if you're low level. Still, can't really hurt to try. Otherwise, I'd do normal missions. Races are fun IMO but definitely not a good way to earn RP or money, same with deathmatches.

Trying to get to the part I was at when I stopped playing the PS3 version. I'm flying through this one a lot faster.
The only thing I'm not sure about is how to make money this time around. I remember having to do a lot of work saving all of the money, strategically putting money into stocks saving and sleeping in bed, and reloading and reverting to the save if the stock gain wasn't good, and doing the
when you have a lot of money. I haven't even done the first
because I feel like I don't have enough money yet to make it worthwhile.

Do Michael's Epsilon missions, and buy the Sonar Collections Dock and collect nuclear waste with Trevor (Franklin is the only one to get the pre-order money, so I prioritize him less). Also do Trevor's Altruist Cult missions. Then do the assassination mission. The wiki page for it tells you what to invest in. After doing that, I'm at 7 million with Michael, 4 with Trevor and 2 with Franklin.

Gettin' REAL fucking tired of reloading quicksaves for stunt jump attempts. Give it a rest, would you Rockstar?
And getting REAL fucking tired of my twatting cab company phoning me for help, then following up with a patronising text when I decline. Did they learn NOTHING from GTA4??

You may as well do that cab company mission, I think there's like... 2 of them in the whole game and they never call you again.

I really don't like how the autosave system works. As soon as you finish a random event/race/mission you immediately get the option of which slot to save to, rather than the game just choosing the default slot and saving by itself. Really breaks the immersion for me.
Shut it off and now I just manually save the game.

Fairly sure that only happens when it autosaves after loading a game/turning the autosave on for the first time.

1 fucking stunt jump left, no idea which one it is, no way to easily find out.
I could swear I did all of them, ffs.
Edit: Found the last one, it was the one at the arcade. Had a car at the time, couldn't do it, so I just ignored it and forgot to go back. Now to do the Kifflom mission.

I swear some of the stunt jumps are random. I'm failing for no reason, despite landing in a variety of places and distances.
Nah it still happens. Might turn off auto-saving too.
Bit of a hassle finding space for 60GB for this game on an SSD but it's totally worth it for the loading times. You can transfer it using steam's backup/import games feature.
Thanks for adding me to the group, I'm up for mumble too.
---oh wait, it's still request pending. I'm mangaroo, only applied yesterday.

Heists may give the biggest xp and cash rewards but they take very long and fail often (in my experience) You can also do contact missions on hard to get $10k-$15k in like 10 minutes.

This is just GTA V related but I imagine this is the more active topic. There is a mission where you steal 2 cars early on in the game up in Hawick or Burton from a private parking area.
Does anyone know the exact location? I wanted to head back over see if there is anything worth stealing but I've been driving up and down but can't find the driveway.

25 stunt jumps done and boy am I glad to see the back of them. They're so persnickety and finnicky. A smarter developer might've made them enjoyable; Rockstar opted to make them a ball-aching chore instead. Ah well.
I had a quick go at hunting - how long exactly do you have to do it for to 'pass' the task?

Do it once, kill a couple of deer, send their photos to Cletus, then quit, and it should count. That's what I did.
I'd love to play online with some GAF peeps but each time I play online it seems to pair me up with people from the opposite end of the world, going by the way people keep jumping around the map. Are there lan-based options for free roam when playing with friends? I highly doubt it going by what I've seen so far (some narrative crap I really couldn't care less about alongside automatic joining of games with strangers). Again, I'd really like to join you guys, but going by what I've seen so far connection wise, there doesn't seem to be a point in even trying.
It's irritating and highly disappointing because after all the fun we had in lans with GTA IV, we all planned to get GTA V for the same. Delay after delay after delay after delay and we end up with a mess of a multiplayer system that has all my friends not wanting to go anywhere near the game. Bah.

You can create private friend or crew sessions, but I think they still have to go through Rockstar's matchmaking servers for authentication. The game will attempt to put you in a game with fellow crewmates automatically if the PCGF crew is your main, but only if other crew members are online. You can of course force the issue by selecting join friends/crew when you start your online session from single player, or by going directly to the crew page in-game and selecting a crew member to join on.
And I hear you about the halfway around the world issue. I tend to play fairly late at night because of the hours I keep (Pacific time), and I routinely run into japanese and russian players. Makes running heists or missions really difficult sometimes.
