I know what you mean. More race cars is what we want.

I'd just like anything new right about now. They are going to long out the release of the Tornado, Sabre and Minivan lowriders it looks like. I would like to see some sports/race car tuning now, yeah we all talk about Rauh Welt and that would be the pinnacle of releases, but I'd love to see some Liberty Walk inspired stuff available for the Ubermacht cars. Cruising around in a Liberty Walk Sentinel would be awesome!

I've been hearing rumors that the new Sabre Custom might break the Muscle class like the Stirling and the Armored Schafter V12 did to their classes.

Well, I'm not taking this info lightly. I'm going to mod menu it up and see what's what.

Yea I agree. They went crazy with the detail of lowrider mods but I would also like to see other classes get that level of customisation. Lowriders sit well in LA but I would guess most people are getting a little tired of them.

Really starting to get sick of lowriders now.....

Especially ones that NOBODY asked for.

*cough* Minivan *cough*

But now I've finished my research on the Sabre Turbo Custom being a game breaker. It's got something to do with the Sabre's already solid handling, make it better, and throw in the Blade's acceleration, and a top speed of 119.

R.I.P Muscles as a balanced racing class. But not quite yet. We know what to wait for before we can assume this.

The gap between GTA IV and GTA V was five years. So if they keep to that schedule we have almost 2½ years left of the game dying a slow death and being drip fed DLC that may pique our interest for a day or two.

Although I have noticed over the past few weeks that the activity in here is getting less and less. I wonder if we're already bored of GTA? I am if I'm being honest but I'll certainly check out the next DLC but I doubt I'll stick with GTA. Well, certainly not for another 2½ years.

Totally agree. Maybe if R* just told us their plans it may keep people around in order to save up GTA$. Of course that may backfire if the planned content isnt what people are interested in.

I actually think that GTA V has lived out quite a healthy life cycle. I mean it was released in late 2013, then re-released in 2014 for current-gen. I don't really see many other console games live that long or have as much support.

I'd imagine the laughs when they announce the MINIVAN WEEK.

I mean.. you really can't say those two words seriously.

Player would be happy at least to know their plans, ok R* won't divulge everything but at least keep up players in the loop.

That's my point. It's been an amazing title that has probably spawned millions or maybe even billions of gaming hours between us all but i can't see it lasting for another 2/3 years.

hopefully, GTA VI will be out long before then. 👍

I think it will be. I mean word has it that they are known to officially be working on VI, but the question is for how long have they been? We know they haven't been too concerned about a single player DLC, which perhaps leaves open resources for making GTA VI. As it stands, I'm predicting a late 2017/very early 2018 release on the PS4/XONE.

I mildly expect them to pull the same stunt they did with transitioning to the new consoles as they did in GTA V.

Yeah, maybe they are planning a release a year before the next next gen come out so we all have to re buy the game!

I guess I'll customise my Tornado first before grinding for a BlackFin.

Edit: Just reached rank 97 and 1.5 million RP. 100 is not too far away

This is a blast to the past. Just got onto GTA Online... on my old account, that I haven't been on since early 2014 when I started inexplicably freezing whenever I tried loading GTAO (on that account).

I can safely say that the whole 'you lose stats if you don't play' thing is BS - it's been TWO YEARS and all my stats are still as high as they used to be.

 

[Dennisch]

Indeed. I didn't play for over a year, swapped from ps3 to ps4, and everything was the same.

 

[lxmmy]

Anyone up for doing some heists tonight?

 

[SomePlayaDude]

In the fracas that is SPD forgetting to bring his laptop charger to the UK to play GTA Online there, I did lose some stats.

Okay, it's "stat", and it's strength. It got to about 85% from full. But it's strength, and that hardly matters.

 

[Snorevette]

So as it turns out, apparently my old GTAO character was still registered as 'logged in' during the Valentines Day Massacre event, which means I'm able to buy a Roosevelt (which I did). Though I thought the Roosevelt was unavailable for everyone now, even after the event?

Another good thing about this, I've just realized it means that if/when I get a PS4 I'll have a nice Lv60 character to transfer instead of potentially having to start from Lv1.

 

[Sage Ages]

The Valentine's Day items are permanently available now if I'm not mistaken.

Good way to avoid bounty : hide in Los Santos Customs . You can't get kicked for idling in LSC so I went and had my dinner ( which was more than 15 minutes ) and I came back , I won 9k .

Someone's onto you, though. Er...above you.

It doesn't appear to be too terribly obvious how to get down there, either, so that's a plus.

Pause > settings and I'm not sure where, just read through the options carefully. It may be in camera or display settings.

I get that fixed, now Auto Aim is not on, and it won't let me change it.

Which is a slight problem when I join a job, my reflex is to back out, which doesn't fix my problem.

Its grayed out in the settings menu, for some reason.

Online lobbies are separated by firing mode. If you want to turn auto-aim on, you have go to singleplayer and change it from there.
