Be Excellent To Each Other

Aye, but Cookie was moaning a while back that I let him play GTA a few years ago

I think I'm twenty-something online..... (It's SDG's fault! She set up my Facebook.)
In real life, I'm... Ermm... Closer to 18 than 10?

Anybody actually tried and got into the online side yet? I'm planning on buying a months gold sub and giving it a go this weekend.

Everyone had problems on Wednesday night.

I haven't tried again since.

I've spent the last two days trying intermittently. Most of the time I can't connect to a server. The time I did, I created my character, saw the opening cutscene and then looked at a loading screen for 30 mins before giving up.

I'd wait until it's more stable before buying Live.

Was broken last night. Logged in, some other people appeared and then vanished, and then I had to race against the computer. I set a world record which seemed unlikely as if Burnout Paradise was anything to go by, Dimrill would already be all over it.

On single player I was on the Marriage Counselling level when this happened:



Tried again, same thing. Very annoying. Turned off the Xbox and played the SNES instead. Broken games REALLY irritate me.

That's probably more realistic than what actually happens

I'm sure it will be all fine by Saturday

Is it just me, or is Michael very similar to Max Payne?

GTAO patch now online for PS3.

Finally made it through the initial race mission this morning. Patch not on Xbox yet (or at least I didn't get an update when I started the game).

Did anyone watched Conan O'Brien review of this ? Highly amusing, and it was actually my only exposure to the game thus far

His Clueless Gamer stuff is generally quite good here is the GTA5 one

I also liked the retro one they did where they showed him a number of old 2600 games :

The Tomb Raider review is also great:

Online seems to be working.

It also seems to be incredibly boring so far.

Finished the story!

Chose option C.

You'd have to be a not to pick C.

I haven't even got GTAV (yet), but I'm so downloading iFruit app right now. Anything that gets me a virtual Rottweiler to look after on my iPhone for when I can't be with my real doggie gets my vote.

Just saw some youtube sequences; "Chop" is so realistic, movement is perfect when he jumps into the back of the car etc. Rockstar just seem to get all these little nuances and details so *right*, awesome.

GTAO with Zardoz and me at 9pm on PS3. All welcome.

I should be up for that. I haven't got a head set or anything. Do I need to join that social club thing?

It's not necessary, but it might make things easier.

Even after the patch online still seems incredibly buggy. Just lost all of my cash that was on me, which is made more annoying by the ATMs not showing up on the map, so I was actually looking around for one when I noticed it had gone.

Plus after each mission me and my mate were dropped onto different servers each time, and had to rejoin a game together.

I've requested to join, I think.

Of course, now it's timing out when trying to join a server.

Same here.

Don't need to go to ATMs, just pull up your phone, go to Internet, then to Money & Services, then to Maze Bank.

I've had an idea. Bear with, bear with...

So I have since discovered, looks like I'll be doing that after every job then.

Actually, i probably won't be, can't see me signing up to live just for gta online, the free weekend came just at the right time. I've had a fun couple of hours on it, but not enough to pay for it.

Should've got the PS3 version if you were that fussed about online.

Although judging by our experience tonight, maybe not.

I've given up, I'm back on FIFA.

I'm not that bothered about online, I'm more bothered about the state of my hands, so the 360 controller won out!

It's working now! Bah.

That mydivinewithin questionnaire was ace. I've not mucked about with the interweb but what I've seen has been well written.

Christ almighty, all I wanted to do was drive Franklin to the city to start a mission but resulted in 3 deaths because I was lobbing sticky bombs at cars. Then cops. Then RPGing helicopters. Then decided I wanted a 5 star rating. Then driving a truck at oncoming vehicles. Etc.

Suffice to say, I never did start that mission.

97.5% complete, and I can't bring myself to do the final stunt jumps and knife flights to get to 100%.

71 hours I've put in. It's amazing what you can get done when you have acute pharyngitis.

Your pharyngitis isn't cute.

I can't help but think Trevor's opening missions were the worst opening missions for a character ever. Not because shooting lots of people isn't fun (it was ok) but the character you start as isn't the character you eventually play as. Opening mission Trevor is an unlikable loon but 'normal' Trevor is a dark Jim Carrey-esq character just on the right side of psychotic. Rockstar missed a trick here, I think, they should have built him up to be a full raging psychopath over time; perhaps putting the opening missions near the end. They still might though cause I'm only on 49 mish out of 69 mishes.

I agree.

I can finally get on with my life.

Before you do, can you accept my crew invite request plz? Chz.

Oops, didn't notice those.

The crew now has custom ranks!

I'll custom rank you in a minute.

Two things I liked today:

Chugga chugga chugga chugga.

Patricia love.

I think that it is important to see Trevor at his worst. He is psychotic. The opening missions show exactly what he's capable of, and exactly why everyone is so terrified of him.

If anybody is playing GTA Online on PS3, hit me up. I'm fucking bored of joining random sessions full of screaming kids, constantly broadcasting microphones, and dicks that'd rather follow you all around the map in an attempt to off you rather than actually getting any bloody missions done.

PSN ID: Mentski (Pretty obviously)

I even have a "crew" Which seems to be utterly pointless as none of them are actively playing the cocking game.

I run the Beex crew, so feel free to join us as well. I'm on PS3: SilentElk.

I was playing last night and got stuck in a lobby full of Italian children. Because of Cott4ge, I won't be on again until next week.

So I started this yesterday my first GTA game, the single player tutorial like I suspected was filled with expletives but was humorous in places. I then moved onto the online game to complete that tutorial & joined up with a couple of guys from UGVM to try out some races, missions & a round of golf. Still in two minds about playing the single player but the online world is good fun. This will keep me going for my last year of xbox live.
