What hints would you give yourself in 2013?

[Gettin up]

None. I was still playing IV in 2013.

[SilverRST]

Avoid GTAO at any cost!

"Leave the state, it' s not woth staying here."

[IamCourtney]

Just buy one large warehouse instead of two mediums

[IceDree]

1. Don't buy that Buzzard just yet, wait a couple of days & get both the Buzzard & the Titan for just over the price of one Buzzard.

 

2. Don't buy more than a single property & wait for the office garages, f*ck Johnny T.

 

3. Although its very profitable, you'll make lots of money & get a cool shiny statue. .. Eventually, resist the temptation & stay out of the Special Cargo business.

 

4. When the time comes, do the Ballistic Suit glitch to finish the Shooting Range challenges. You'll regret not doing it.

Now that I look back on it, I definitely missed some things.

 

1. I would advise never to buy a piece of clothing, hat, or whatever without being able to make an outfit out of it. Back when I made $1 million in contact missions, I had this super rad awesome idea about how I should buy all the clothes and glasses in the game. Couple of years later? Worst f*cking idea ever. I have to scroll through a hundred options to get one pair of glasses, or a shirt? Yeah, so much for that.

 

2. Never buy so many properties and garages if you're just going to sell all of your cars back.

 

3. Never buy so many properties WITH garages because your utility and mechanic bills stack against you. I pay almost $5,000 a day if I stay in a session for 48 minutes. I pay less in ammo, and the idea of someone robbing me as I literally do nothing but drive, is just as worse as it is in real life.

 

4. Finally? Join earlier. I wasn't around during 2013, but I would have benefited a lot better from double $ contact missions and RP than I would have in 2014.

[jpm1]

don't buy that cr.. on another platform than PC, or you won't be able to benefit the solo glitch method, and you'll have 60E wasted. that will be used for developing stupid kids pvp oriented dlcs

don't buy weed farm

don't buy office garage

don't choose the girl for office assistant

Go to the doctor earlier to check the blood and the kidney function to avoid dialysis with the Eculizumab treatment.

 

I lost both kidneys in 2014 and i'm on dialysis. The treatment was too late for my kidneys.

[Forza Harrd]

Put in for that promotion. I waited 2 years, then it turned out being a department manager is easier for my skill set than being a drone. Then I could have bought my xb1 2 years earlier, etc.

[FlacidJack]

The best time to play is always in the future thanks to drip fed content.

[ALifeOfMisery]

Not to transfer my original account to PC. Yes it looks better, but I wouldn't have had to start from scratch on PS4.

[elfoam]

I would have advised myself to not be so shy on the hooker glitch.. Doing 3 garages worth when I had 2 weeks was beyond stupid.

None. I was still playing IV in 2013.

wtf I stopped playing that in like 2009?

[septimoose]

Don't move in with that drug addict.

Don't go into the woods with his creepy friend at 4am, he will attack you.

You don't need 90-95% of the stuff you are thinking of buying.

Oh, and here are the winning lottery numbers for the next 4 years. Invest it heavily into Bitcoin.

 

Unfortunately, as a consequence of being mind-numbingly rich in the real world, I wouldn't play GTA Online much. I would probably own Rockstar though, and you'd currently be playing GTA VI. Sorry it sucks. Issues with development...

[the J is for Julia]

1. Trust no one.

2. Seriously, shoot first and discuss later.

[TheDoombringer]

I'd tell myself not to buy some of Pegasus stuff be cause I'd regret it and not be able to sell later

[Slonitram]

1. Don't get off the plane.

 

2. Seriously, DON'T GET OFF THE PLANE.

[Gustagrace]

1. Potshot

2. Bought buzzard + rhino

3. Kuruma for fighting bullets and insurgent for fighting explosives

4. Have single biker business

[DeXiovi]

I wouldn't say it's a hint.... but I would grab 2013-me by the collar and terrorize the sh* out of me by making sure I never bought all that useless pegasus crap that I thought I needed, and now forever stuck with.

[MCMXCII]

Don't waste your time with this game. Go spend your time on bettering your life.

[delorianlazarus]

The Z Type is the last of your concern.

[DBrasco]

Practise with a jet early on in order to be one of the first to be able to dominate lobbies. Also participate in DM's early on to gain true skills and prevent humiliating situations.

I did not want to buy a console and V was released on PC April 2015. At that time I was playing other game so I did not pay attention. I bought V late 2015.

[B_E_N_1992]

You will become a billionaire

 

Buy as many Take2 stocks as possible

Savour every thrilling moment of every Special Crate Drop (which, to be fair, I did) because at some point in 2015 R* will pull them and won't replace them with anything remotely exciting. So be prepared for a huge void in your GTAO life.

 

Agreed, but I think that freemode event where you have to hold on to a suitcase and bring it to its destination comes pretty close.

2) Glitch money like f*ck, because even if you think 100m is a lot, ITS REALLY NOT.

 

Word.

[DaveyGravy]

1: Find a like minded bunch of groovy people who want to play the game the way you do, otherwise it will lead to some of the most miserable gaming time you've ever known.

 

2: Don't buy any Pegasus vehicles. You will regret it every time and you can't sell them.

 

3: Never race, do heists, or pretty much any game mode with randoms as they all quit or turn every mode into a death match even when they're supposed to be on your team. Just wait until your pals are online.

 

4: Leave a freeroam the moment you hear an under aged kid.

 

5: When it goes right, its the best online experience you will ever have.

Instead of leaving the session, immediately go and hunt down said under aged kid and make their life hell. By doing that you will make them hate the game and they'll think that everyone is mean in GTAO and they'll eventually quit playing the game altogether.

I'm 39. Bullying a kid online is not my thing. They're just being kids is all, but when you're 30+ years older than them its odd as f**k to want to enjoy the game with them. I wouldn't hang out with my mates kids and I like those kids.
