GTA Online General Chat

[Mach1bud]

 

 

 

GTA Online and V are two separate stories. There is no canon. They take place separately.

Where did you get that from? It's pretty clear that GTA Online was originally supposed to happen alongside the GTA V story and references the latter often.

Just from observing how things have played out over the years. Yes they started together, but around Heists things began to skew off a different direction.

See, I think Heists was another point where they were trying to keep within the 'some time shortly before single-player' angle going, but you could see them straining to find contrivances to fit in folks like Trevor, and still hit the 'reset' button to put everything back in place before the events of GTA V. Hence why Series A ends with Trevor losing everything in the final cutscene, as a quick (if rather cheap!) way to undo the entire heist and maintain the status quo.

 

That's probably why Lowriders played it more coy about when the whole thing took place - then Import/Export more-or-less implied that it'd really only work after GTA V (because Escape Escort contradicts the whole 'no-one has ever attempted a job on the Union Depository before' detail), and then Gunrunning confirms that R*'s just thrown up their hands, and said 'screw it - GTAO updates take place in real time, now'. Which might retroactively apply to everything post-Heists (or post-Ill-Gotten-Gains), even.

 

 

Yep that is what I think as well. Not to mention the huge amount of things physically different between story mode and Online. Benny's, Bunkers, a bunch of story mode stuff, etc etc. I hate to use this terminology, but in my mind, Online and V are in different "universes". Quite like the radio stations DJ's, some things are the same, a lot of things are different.

...I kinda think it's not even anything that 'official' - it's almost more like '...eh, just say it's 2017 and things have changed - shaddup with the difficult questions!'.

As in, they've got a vague explanation if people ask 'why are there bunkers in GTAO, but not single-player' (answer: 'it takes place later, okay?!?'), but ultimately, I reckon they've just decided it's easier to not worry about it. 'Here's new content - enjoy!', with scant regard for context/continuity - which makes things easier, but also explains why we've got things like the Oppressor (because 'rule of cool', instead of context).

In other words, GTAO's become more like how your average Overwatch game actually plays out, compared to all the backstory and world-building in the animated shorts, character bios, comicbooks, etc.:

- Overwatch fiction: epic pulpy sci-fi/superhero thing about how a hi-tech peacekeeping organisation saved the world, was destroyed from within, and has started to re-emerge in the wake of growing global crises.

 

- Overwatch the game: take the characters and locations, treat them like action figures and playsets, and have fun taking any random combination of the whole lot and playing laser tag matches with them, because videogames!

 

 

...and yeah, I do have a bit of an issue with that, considering that GTA used to try to contextualise everything and make it '

', which was part of the appeal, IMO (things like doing things through your phone contacts and websites, not just out-of-universe menus), and now has less of a justification for new content than something as outlandish as Saints Row IV... Edited September 22, 2017 by Commander S

I never played Overwatch but I get what you are saying lol.

Michael reunites with Lester.

E&OC

Import\Export business.

Michael takes out Jay Noris.

Series-A funding.

Vangelico heist.

Trevor's Introduction.

The Pacific Standard heist.

Trevor gets the strip club.

The Union Depositary heist - Escape Escort.

Option C ending.

Ron lost touch with Trevor & Trevor goes Vinewood.

Merryweather grease some wheels & get their license back.

Gunrunning, its 2017 line by Agent 14.

Smuggler's Run & sad lonely Ron.

Cunning Stunts takes place before Dom's demise.

[Silencer555]

Well that's one way to get rid of your enemies.

[gtafan26]

 

 

 

You can drive that thing outside the bunker?

With the help of the Mobile Duplication Center, anything is possible.

Any chance you can share how to do it? , I will drop the cash for one just to do it.

If you want to drive a buggy around, why not just steal one from an NPC around sandy shores? I see them being driven around there all the time, bottom of sandy shore up to grapeseed.

I do that from time to time, but sometimes its nice owning too.

The Opressor has renewed my interest in collecting bounties , its so much fun using it to collect them.

Please, don't tell me that you consider flying, helmet breaking, tubes above the city as canon.

This is actually a first time i see some use of Armored Boxville.

Bombushka Run now has more than 1,000,000 dislikes when you combine all the dislikes together for the 7 maps.

Well done rockstar congrats on your first adversary mode getting 1,000,000 dislikes after only 4 days.

Don't believe me? Just go on social club search for bombushka run and count the dislikes up

Maybe this will be the hint to finally stop making the f*cking things.

 

None of them have anything above a 35% rating.

This was the start of a mission that came up during a random playlist, serious WTF moment.

I kinda liked this AM, actually. But why do people dislike this one in particular? Did i miss some petition or something?

[Prince_Polaris]

You know, I actually like motor wars, but nobody plays it now that the next AM is next in line

[tommyguns]

I never did play motor wars, despite trying multiple times. But the connectivity and load time issues when trying to play, were beyond ridiculous. The few times I got through I ended up backing out. In each case a team of four was trying to start it when I was on my own, or when it was a couple of teams with a single player.

 

Didn't fancy playing with so few players, especially when I was being put at such a disadvantage.

 

Why are they so obsessed with adversary modes when they are so unpopular? Give us CONTACT MISSIONS DAMMIT or better yet, just give us the creator R*

The boredom of it is enough to make me want to gauge my eyes out after the first round.

 

They could at least make the damn plane fly faster and instead of making us fly Buzzards, it should be Havoks equipped with the MGs.

 

The sheer amount of time it takes to finish a round is not worth the 2x payout.

Even worse when the double payout for 2 rounds still doesn't even manage to give you 40k. There's literally no incentive to play this for either entertainment or profit.

Dom is not part of the story anyway.

Never thought, that "sky screen" can show me something new.
Look at these shadows, why they're cutted from their source?

 

 

1. Is from building with rounded shape (building nearby has square shape). Maze Bank?

2. Supposed to be from that building between IAA and Spinner skyscraper.
3. Is from IAA or FIB building.

 

 

 

I bet Omega did this!!!!!!!!!

Huh...you think the rounds take too long, but you think it would be better if the buzzards were replaced with havok's? If they did that, believe me, the rounds would be even longer than they are. The Buzzards miniguns are FAR more powerful than that peashooter they attached to the havok. Edited September 23, 2017 by tommyguns

I think he means use Havoks because they are faster than Buzzards. 75% of the time in that AM you are just respawning and flying to get to the Bombushka.

I feel like I'm the only one who likes Power Play and Land Grab..with the right people.

 

I didn't think much of them until this seasons Clash of The Crews. Ever since, really enjoying those two.

Not only this but it would also be a chance to test drive the thing if you're interested in buying it.

I don't recall land grab. But power play is my favorite mode by far.

[Prince_Polaris]

I got a little question... does anyone else notice that in 3rd person, your tank cannon points up, seemingly towards the cursor instead of where you're aiming? I'm pointed at the road in front of the tank, so if anything, it should be aiming down, but no, it's pointed at the sky! Anyone know why?

Ctrl and + sign.

Keep in mind, doing the latter increases ALL fonts.

There's just so incentive to play them without double money. Cause nobody touches them otherwise.
