You can finally drive around without listening to ambient music.

You need to collect all 4 Tuners Media Sticks and then go into the Inventory menu and select "none" for the mix you want to listen to. Then select the Media Player on the radio wheel and now you're free!

The church in Paleto Bay is basically a straight copy of the Piru United Methodist Church in the small town of Piru, California.

Why they used this church? No clue. But it was seen in the Dukes of Hazzard episode 'Luke's Love Story' as well as the 2007 movie 'The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning'. If this is any relation why its used? No clue either.

Hmm if you google how other churches of those methodist guys look, multiple have very similar white wooden design. And seems like the town they based Paleto on has methodist church too too. Though sadly it is not actually wooden like this,  but then probably  someone at R* just wanted to make one.

[Verstappen]

True. But compare it to St. Brigid Baptist Church and there's few differences excluding the roof. Others seems similar but not an as straight copy as this one.

The same basic model is used for the Hill Valley churches in Del Perro and Great Chapparal.

[Verstappen]

@whywontyoulisten I was more looking at the fact the Paleto one has matching grounds as well like the church sign in front. The Del Perro one is even so much mirrored the text on the church is reversed.

The whole map is stuffed full of California filming locations. I'm surprised there isn't a vasquez' rocks.

On Xbox B ("reload button") does not only a melee attack with firearms but seems to work as an instant kill with knife and even fists too, at least until attacking from behind (speaking about NPCs).

I suppose the map needs to have a actual desert to have that rock formation. 

 

Side note, we really need a map expansion.

Having glasses on, makes you look smart, but having more than one set of glasses makes you look smarter.

 

 

The love Professor is very smart because he have TWO sets of glasses at the same time, one on him, and another one on his hand.

Remember how this new update(or the previous update, I don't know) f*cked up the mechanic PV spawn points on the terminal docks near the Simeon Export garage, and near the Nightclub on Elysian Island?

 

The update also, somehow, f*cked up the way the casino limo driver identifies the places where it should drop off the players who request the service.

 

In specific, for my two stilt houses on Vinewood Hills my limo driver always drops me off one or two streets down below where my homes are, making me either steal a car or request my PVs to drive to my houses...Defeating the whole point of the limo ride.

 

Also on my Nightclub on Downtown Vinewood, the driver passes in front of the main door TWICE(it passes by it for the first time, circles around the block and then passes it again) and then it only drops me off on the Vinewood Boulevard.

 

Amazingly enough, the cab driver is unaffected by this bug, it drops me off in front of my destinations as expected.

 

Oh, but the cab itself just spawns on the street near me when I request it, it doesn't drives towards anymore, the map blip only shows up when I'm getting on it.

 

I can only fathom the sheer mess that is the coding of this game to make random stuff like this not work because another unrelated stuff is also broken.

 

I only noticed this today, it's getting increasingly more difficult to keep playing this mess of a game.

If the lag conditions are right, let's say you are in Europe, and your friend in South America (we are talking about 250ms), you might end on the same seat in a car, since in this case we are talking about the drivers seat, both could drive (felt like drunk driving tbh). Still this is a very rare occasion. I have a Rockstar editor "demo" of this rare occurring.

If you steal a bus and there are passengers on it, then drive it into the sea the ones who drown change into their swimming costumes to die.

The character, at least in contact missions, always faces the mission objective.

 

AND at the risk of this being abused, you can use the Stone Hatchet's ability as the Beast during Hunt the Beast

I remember they talked about map expansions years ago. Or at least hinted at them. Only one we got was Cayo Perico, which came out last year. And you can't do anything there except the heist stuff.

I've seen a LOT of laggy nonsense, including a friend who managed to drive a destroyed car (not the glitch) as well as a train spawning through the other, but this... this has to be the best one of them.

 

Edit: well... second best, the best was back in 2017 when me and my friends were in a lobby that somehow had more than 30 players, I was able to message people that were not in the players list, the drop down showed 12 or 14, while the pause menu had 30 players, and some people from that drop down list weren't in the pause menu.

Probably the weirdest thing I have ever seen in this game.

This is sorta Things You Didn't Know About An Average Ryan Reynolds Film but if you watch Free Guy there's quite a few sly references/coincidences hidden amongst the LOL STREAMERS ARE FAT AND LIVE AT HOME sledgehammer stuff. Chrome lambo in the garage, for one.

The pause menu shows players who are still in the clouds.

Oh I know that, one of the players I messaged and got a reply from was in the pause menu, not to mention that it can't be 12 players joining an already full lobby, it seemed like I was in two different lobbies or something.
