The B*tch & Moan Thread (Part 3)

[Malibu Club]

I think I'm the only one who doesn't mind that monkey mission. The only time I've ever did it so far was in the snow too. Maybe I just got lucky with enemy spawning placement or something.

It's easy enough, it's just a time sink.

Explosive Shotgun MK2 and taking cover behind the Boxville, right after exiting the gate also is a good way to do the monkey mission. The ammo is so cheap compared to real explosives.

Yeah. Great gameplay. Amazing experience.

I don't think I've paid for regular ammo/explosives since I have properties that are giving it away for me for free.

Why get frustrated by having to run a distance to find your way back into the compound when you can expedite it by just killing yourself until you respawn there? It's hardly an "amazing experience" allownig yourself to get continually fustrated having to run out of your way for 3-5 mins to get around a fence ...only to get killed and spawn outside it again.

There seems to be an un-necesary fixation about doing everything possible to not get killed (by NPCs) in the game when it matters not at all. Bit like the vehicle recovery/cargo collecting missions where you get ambushed by the police, just trigger them and let them kill you. Then you can complete the collection in peace but no, some players seem to want to cause extra work for themselves (and damage to the import/export car) by doing everything possible to not get killed by the cops. Even R* have got wise to this in more recent missions where suicide by cop no longer removes your wanted level.

Cause you can kill yourself 5-10 times and still spawn outside, losing even more time, while if you run in - well, you'll go in a direction and no RNG will screw you up.

Having done a Post OP sell the other day to help a friend....I can say I'm reminded why I hate the dumbed down as f*ck driving physics in this game compared to IV.


Los Santos has hills and mountains R*, why the f*ck the Boxville have 2.73 rear gearing like a 70s gas crisis car.....With a f*cking 5 speed gearbox!? Jesus man....the same truck in IV was a borderline sports car in terms of how fast it was compared to other vans and trucks, In GTAV 1st gear is long enough to do damn near enough 50mph in 1st gear. Honestly the gear ratios are so long that it actually can't even really do 80mph on most of the highway network (I'm aware most are limited to 55-65mph via  a speed governor irl) but ffs man. The thing is geared so long that basically ever gear is a borderline overdrive gear rather than being useable. Also that said you're saving SO MUCH MONEY on gas mileage being stuck in 1st gear at 15mph at nearly 4k RPM Post OP. I'm sure your company's maintenance workers just love having to replace bent valves and connecting rods constantly every day because of this as well.

That's a lot of words to say it's slow as f*ck. 

[ZaxxerDog]

f*ck the f*cking time trials, I don't understand why can't there be at least 3 for one week so that you had the option to choose something normal instead of the "get on your bike and figure out a shotcut across the whole f*cking map" types of garbage we happen to be getting once in a while. Let me use cars, let me learn a track and improve my racing lines instead of this f*cking trash or at least change the map into something functional instead of this minimalistic garbage that's so good in geography that it doesn't even show the giant f*cking mountain on the north. Nobody finds these fun, Rockstar, people actually like to have a track outline that they don't have to figure out and everybody hates the f*cking bikes in this game, you dicks.

It only works if you have a Casino heist in progress and there's a gunman present. Maybe you also need to have sourced the weapons.

If you buy the practice keypad, it only works with an active Casino heist, after you have stolen have the hacking device.

I'm such a stickler for realism that i'd be better off purchasing a PC gaming system so i could play FiveM.

 

Import/Export is very fun, but i just want it to be realistic. Instead of showing up and having some huge shootout, followed by a helicopter chasing you all the way home, i just want to raid the targets house (burglary style, possibly having to intimidate them) for the keys to the desired car, and then steal it.

 

Similar for heists. I don't want some bombastic nonsense involving attack helicopters, thousands of dead cops and so on. I just want to spend twenty minutes casing some jewel store or bank, then steal a sh*tty beater as a getaway car and then go in with just a handgun and a rifle to take the place for a million dollars.

Had this a few times - everywhere. Sometimes going into passive then back into non-passiv, CEO then logging into the arcade command centre sorted it, other times I just rebooted the game.

My one wish for GTA6 is that it dials down the wackiness and ridiculousness quite a bit. I know it's probably a big ask and I know I'll almost certainly be disappointed.... but I can hope.

Indeed. I just want a realistic game with perhaps a few funny quirks.

 

The level of hatred and disgust i have for what GTA is now is off the charts. Unbelievable hatred.

 

I decided to do some warehouse missions with a friend yesterday. I was flying the plane, delivering sh*t to the 10 drop-offs, when the helicopter appears in front of me. It fires probably about five rounds at me, which results in one engine failing within about a minute. As a result of the one engine failing, the other does as well.

 

I thought "oh well, at least we've delivered 7 out of the 10 packages", so i wasn't too angry when the plane inevitably crashed into the river that runs through Raton Canyon.

 

But then i see that none of the deliveries i've already successfully completed count. And that was after already spending a lot of my meager funds on product, which took a couple of hours to source.

 

It took every ounce of mental strength to resist the urge to rip my television off of the wall and then set fire to my console.

 

And then just now i decide to export a vehicle in a solo public session. It's been a while since i've done it, so i thought "shouldn't be too hard". But no; two NPCs shower it with bullets, then burst a tyre, which results in me flying off of the road and wrecking the car, whilst mongoloid NPC civilians hysterically scream and start smashing into everything.

If that's the one with Mr. NFT Bro....I mostly agree due to the f*cking trash ass outfits. That said you can shoot his helicopter down with a minigun if you get far enough head to set up in time.

Had to look back at the chain of related posts. Weapons Bench eh? Were I so lucky as to only have that issue.

My Missiles in my Submarine sometimes just don't work. Sit down at chair, no contextual control prompt extending it's hand to allow me the simple action of pressing a button via the A button on my controller.

Sit down at Terrorbyte Drone with one of two problems. Same as Submarine or "you can't use drone here" even though I'm parked in the middle of the desert with nothing around me.

Basically this issue is effectively the more useful tools in my "Command Center" things......as well as my Security Cameras at at least once.....annoying.

Last minute edit: Also should point out this is a more recent issue that seemingly cropped up out of nowhere without any logical reason sometime during LS Tuners update, around the time the Lost Contract dropped was the first time I encountered this.

P.S: YELLOW MARKER OF DOOM GLITCH IS BACK IN PUBLIC LOBBIES, literally just had a borked Business Battle because the marker failed to work.

Godmode is f*ckin out of control on console. 

Every single lobby has at least one person in it.

I hate how its just sort of accepted that its part of the game now. 

Why on earth would R* allow a state where a player model has the ability to but cannot be harmed by anything? 

Just update the JSON or whatever is being used to hold player data in that moment and replace that flag with passiveMode = true.

Job done.

They don't have enough care. That's the problem. The God mode Speedo still hasn't been fixed in like, what, 3 years now?

Though RDO is pretty much a wasteland in terms of content, the missions seem way more realistic than anything in GTAO. Sure, you sometimes wipe out +20 lawmen and several more gang members and wonder how there can be so many of them, yet the core structure of the missions including interactions with NPCs, rational objectives and more slow-paced action make it seem less an extravagant action film as with GTAO.

 

GTA V in general has been something of an achievement, with Online evidently being a valuable example of how multiplayer can be applied to Grand Theft Auto with plenty of dynamic and social aspects in mind. RDR2 has as a later release been a showcase of ''new'' elements of gameplay never seen in either the original or GTA V, which with RDR2 as trial could be implemented to GTA VI. Let's hope they take the best of both games and make us another diamond to be experienced and discussed for years to come.

From what I saw a while back part of the issue is just Sony. This isn't even me being a "Xbox Fanboi", literally part of the issue is due to Sony's PSN Infrastructure and how it plays with the GTA Online Infrastructure apparently....also explains why the Casino God mode is apparently near 99.8% success rate on PS4 and has like 15 different jobs to do it with while Xbox last I checked managed only two and seems to fail and outright DC the player attempting it more (I've actually witnessed a few people try more than once after losing a dogfight or two). I remember reading this over at Sevensins fourms somewhere, rumormill be rumormill but still seems to make more sense than it should, given if the fix requires them to step on the toes of Sony I can't blame them not bothering.

Now all that said, this does not excuse the outright nightmare of Cyber Security Failures that the PC version of the game has or just Social Club in general. Ah yes because "Muh steam takes 30%" it's perfectly acceptable for R* to shove a broken DRM launcher onto the steam version of the game when Modders can already gank your Social Club ID and effect single player gameplay, and said launcher tied to said Security Nightmare can hold Credit Card info.........You know now that I think of it if that rumor is true I can see why Sony told them "F*ck no" .......and MS to be honest given how easy it is to bypass ever form of blocking Xbox grants to block annoying players....

And there is reason #3 why I won't do crate missions. Reason #1 is they fill my office with a bunch of sh*t. If I wanted to look at clutter I'll look at my daughter's room. Reason #2 is they are boring as hell mindless fetch quests. The next time something happens with the sell mission player or sh*t programming related, just have the CEO close app on their system. They will be down 3 crates but it'll still save them hours of work and cash. 

 

As for I/E, purchase or find a cargobob and make the delivery that way. That is the only way I do them. The best place to find them is at Sandy Shores airfield.

Ya I feel it. After I kept seeing how hard it was on purpose and like a mobile phone game I can't even play it in free roam. Doing almost any mission in public I just rage quit by the random sh*t that happens like R* is watching. I've had days where things just keep happening straight to screw me over and I just wonder how it's even possible. Just disappointment after disappointments knowing it could have been fun/fair but never will be.

 

Realism though may be at launch in GTA6 (If it even functions? After their release debacles...) but if we see RDR2 online now it even crossed the line with realism, now NPCs take straight up headshots or shotgun blast point blank without any armor on. And now on harder missions NPCs just spawn right in front of you. So uh GTA6 will become the same if online comes to fruitation. Or they just milk GTAV for years after GTA6 like it's a MMO or something.

It's just completely rigged. New players have pretty much no way to make meaningful amounts of cash.

 

I think "how can R* allow this?", but then i remember that this is their plan. People are obviously going to get sick of doing contact missions for pennies, and will shell out however much money on a shark card so they can purchase a warehouse or a business or whatever.

 

And then, when they realize that warehouse missions are rigged against you and hardly worth the money you invest, they'll buy even more shark cards.
