So I just migrated my PS4 main account over to my PS5 and I just noticed. Since when has “Bribe The Authorities” become free in CEO? I thought it always cost money? Or am I just imagining that? 

It still does cost money.

Did you subscribe to GTA+? I assume not because you mention you just migrated your account, but that is a perk for this month for subscribers, wonder if it glitched, or if it's some sort of incentive for new migrations.

 

You bribe Rockstar so you don't have to bribe the cops

Recently discovered that a large crate warehouse has an alternate exit in the form of a garage door. Quite useful in saving a small fraction of time when the staff is at the far end of the warehouse.

There's two Pizza This...'s across the street corners from each other, just next to the Vinewood police station.

We have plenty of those same fastfood chains across each other. Sometimes, they even circle competitors.

There's two versions of the song Everything She Wants by Wham!

 

One is the original song on Non-Stop Pop FM, and the other one is some kind of weird remix where the vocals of the song sounds all distorted and corrupted like a static sound, it plays on Still Slipping.

They sure are stingy with licensing. Really, how much could it cost to relicense songs from the older games to keep them intact? They’re a multi billion dollar mega dev..

About the only companies more greedy than video game publishers, are music publishers.

The money bag in our clubhouse that holds money we make from the bar, holds up to 100k.

 

But unfortunately you only make 20k out of each supplies you deliver to it, so holding it up to 100k or collecting at 20k makes no difference at all.

 

Also, Sindy(the clubhouse bartender) is not on our contact list, even though her name and contact appears as she was.

I never knew that the speedos / rev counters on car dashboards moved when in 3rd person view. Obviously, you can see them when in 1st person view, but I had never noticed in 3rd before.

By the way, sometimes it's the license holders being weird about their music rather than the companies buying stuff.

 

I would imagine some of them might want to make a bank from licensing a song to the makers of one of the most successful games in history, inflating those costs.

 

Rockstar can probably afford any music they want in their games but I think there comes a point where "is it worth it for a song?" comes into play.

 

The whole "they don't want to do licenses" thing will only become true to me if they for whatever reason don't do radio stations for the next game, which we obviously know it won't happen.

Yeah some of those dying music corps are even more greedy than T2. For example there was some rock movie a while ago and they were asking more money for a single song than A list actors were getting paid.

You can call her from text message to see her phone number. There will be only busy signal and no profile pic, but if you call same number after delivery you'll see Lupe on profile pic.

 

Also, not Online but V, but I did not find similar topic in GTA V section, so... I realise today - that Russian guy, Josef from Civil Border Patrol and guy who had a fight durring "Trevor Philips Industries" opening cutscene, husband of Janet, Yellow Jack Inn bartender, are same person.

They could go back to making all the music playing on the radio like they did in one GTA. Or what they'd probably do is only have music from their record label. I'd bet at least one radio station in GTA6 will only play CircoLoco Records.

They're already kind of doing that with the last few stations added to GTAO and much of it stinks IMO at least. The big iconic songs are very much necessary in a GTA game. Evidenced by how empty the 3D games feel with those songs removed.

Basically the reason why even at $40, I'm holding off from GTA Trilogy DE.

Wow, you are actually holding off from buying the games because some songs in the radio stations are missing?

 

And here I am turning it off every time I get in a car in almost every GTA except GTA VCS.

 

Anyway, this conversation isn't for this topic.

Just feels weird considering the vast majority of those songs were my favorites.

 

Anyway, I might add: Paleto Bay is the only town where you can purchase a medium-end apartment.

Since the workers are realtively new, I just found that little trick about 2 weeks ago.

Saw the new Top Gun film recently and the first thing I thought was how much did they pay to get Danger Zone in the film.

Do you guys know that some electric boxes that aren't mission specific have SFX when shot? I tried this a while ago with the electric boxes on the towers atop the Vinewood sign and they caught on fire and emitted sparks.

And you can get electrocuted by touching on the antennas at the top of those boxes.

Woah there. Might try messing around with that antenna later.

 

Anyway, I'm not sure if I posted this before on this topic. So, just around 100m away from the La Mesa auto shop, there's a stairway going from the LS River to Mirror Park's village. I just wish there were pedestrians on that stairway to make it more lively.

The QOL update made GTA so unstable on my base PS4 that I've learned eyefind.info can error out when opening the web browser.

 

Spoiler

 

[Pedinhuh]

The current install size of GTA V + the updates is 42,605GB on the PS4.

 

How do I know this? Because this dumbf*ck right here switched out his factory HDD by a SSD and he's gonna have to sit for over two hours waiting for the game to install(sh*t Internet speeds here).

 

How fun...

Just found out the vending machines run out of pop. Was trying to get some mojo so the crime scene near by would appear, then got a notification saying the vending machine ran out.

ah that brings me back to my very low end gaming days.

 

[OnlineProtagonist]

Reading this thread taught me about Benny's drum kit area. I didn't know there is also a skateboard there.

 

Can I have this, Rockstar?

 

 

 

I've hoped (in vain) for a skateboard that works as a vehicle and as a melee weapon since it was cut from San Andreas.

The models are scattered throughout the map (I remember a couple boards were in the high-end apartments before the Heist room update). The Agency style which lets you hang up skateboards makes me simultaneously pleased and bummed, lol. 

 

We've gotten an RC Bandito and an RC Tank, so I'd love to call a skateboard the same way. Or, add it to the weapon wheel so I can travel infinitesimally faster than running when I'm stuck on a mountain or subways without a car. Or, make it like a bicycle: vaguely difficult to access, but there for those who care.

It was supposed to be on the las-gen version, there was even a pedestrian skateboarding in the trailer. But they removed it and it was never heard of again. That icon made me miss my modding days in GTA SA. I had it modded into the game and had lots of good memories with my friend coming over my house.
