rafe dont you bruh me i havent played since december so i didnt notice this as added in as a tunable

 

The big building poster on the right is slapped over top a Space Monkey 3D poster. I see the Monkey a lot when I'm flying fast through there before the new one loads over top. It's an eyesore when the new one loads in.

To be honest, if it's a Subway ad done in the spirt of the GTA worlds, I'd be reasonably OK with some billboards advertising real brands and changing with every DLC. I wouldn't mind a Subway ad in GTA with Jared eating a sub and text that reads "We like them 12." Of course, my acceptance of real world ads would depend on how many billboards and how intrusive they are. And I'd be more lenient if it was somehow proven that the ad revenue was being used for game enhancements, not just a money grab. Which, I know is doubtful, so I'm sure I'd hate any real world ad implementation.

About the only [brand]s that would associate themselves with the violence and such in GTA would be crypto and gambling. TrainwrecksTV DLC when?

[DrEeveell]

Depending on how much geographic targeting they could do, I'm sure weed dispensaries would be down with advertising on GTA. There's no national brands (yet) so they would all have to be local ads.

Saints Row would buy a spot

Saw a yellow/blue taxi online the other day, never seen one online before or is my mind turning to mush?

[Spider-Vice]

Were you in a public session? Maybe someone called a cab and abandoned? (or e.g. for one of the Payphone Hits)

[Gridl0k]

This tooltip probably never got updated from "Fixer" (the codename iirc) to "Agency". Let's ignore the fact I'm not doing any CEO work though.

 

 

 

[Spider-Vice]

Oh wow, that's a nice catch lmao. Fixer was the internal name before it being called The Contract, even as per the game files.

There's a LOD issue as you travel west along Eclipse. The old billboard textures will momentarily appear at a specific distance before the new ones will replace them again. It hasn't bugged me enough to document the exact spot/distance though.

 

**Edit: The LOD issue may have been patched.

 

actually i think it´s just that the game struggles to load it for a second.
since it´s just a prop which switches from the LOD model to the HD model.
and that is why it looks bad since it´s just put over the original ones.

I hope they go away soon, but since Franklin references the billboards I'm afraid they'll stay. 

 

i could be wrong, but i think i heard that Franklin´s quotes are connected to the billboards and that he will stop saying them when the billboards get turned off

Benny has subtitles if you change your weapon to skip the cutscene

If you logged into a CEO/biker after paying the 48 minute daily fees, the game charged you with the bunker/biker production costs then belated.

this isnt the case anymore, you only pay the production fees only, if you are active CEO/biker at this moment.

 

maybe they changed that within agency DLC with the value of daily fees.

Didn’t know you could deposit cash into the bank on the phone , saw a tip pop up when the game was loading yesterday.

No way, there is no waaaay lmaooo

[Exsanguination]

They don’t explain stuff well haha… I’ll think I have stuff figured out and then find out I’m doing it the hard way 

[GeneralDee]

All this time I been aiming for head shots when dealing with bikers. I no longer aim for the bikers but their gas tanks with a Heavy Revolver MKII while hoping they stay on the bike. Very entertaining way to cook them.

 

Not sure if anyone said this already, but NPCs will compliment stop and pull out their cell phones to take pictures of your expensive car.

They'll compliment and photograph absolute junkers too along with dump trucks, shuttle buses, even a utility truck.

So I have just discovered that you can get a duplicate of your Sparrow by using the Office helipad, I thought it would despawn, when I went up there was a copy on the roof, I called my own and I was able to have both of them out, I did it a second time and got a 3rd one, now I got 3 Sparrows right out of my office, my own and 2 duplicates.

Yeah its infinite. I guess it's happened with some office helipads for quite some time too.

have they changed the total race time to get the maximum payout?

 

playing a stunt race atm, and I get the max payout after 4:00 minutes, back in the days it was 8:00 minutes....

It is tripled.. But yeah I was idly wondering that too, it seemed I got a boatload of RP with only 7 players and a 5:30 total time

 

I have a sneaking feeling the tunables underlying E&E are a slightly older version of the matrix

4:30 actually (it only matters that it's between 4 and 6 though)

 

[ilRae]

Has it always been 50 RP every minute you are at a 5 star wanted level?

yes I know its tripled, this is why I started trenches II alone to get good XP per minute.

I took trenches II because its very short. I leave the track to fly and flipping around to get 3000 stunt XP additional to the 5000 per race.

And these 5000 XP you get for finishing after 4:00 minutes, it does not raise after 4:0o minutes anymore.

 

So I get 8000 XP every 5:00 minutes, with loading screen, lobby time etc.

 

PS: I am on PS4

That's one f*cking expensive car park

[awesomefoot]

The roof of the LSCM spreads flames like Vanilla Unicorn and Tequila-La (and probably some other locations).

The Freecrawler has a force-field jedi type thing going on at the front that lifts it onto high obstacles.
