Ohh those last gen dailies of doom.

Just bought a Dodo for the fun of it, and I can't help but peeve by the fact a 2 door seaplane can, according to Elitas, carry 4 people.

*insert Patrick BSOD after hearing Spongebob's description of sharing secrets*

Well, two people can stand on the sides of the plane. It looks pretty crazy.
 
What I'm really tired of is their shameless promotion of lowriders and adversary modes. Lowriders are a good concept, but they cannot keep reusing it forever. The same goes for adversary modes. What we need is another major content update like Executives & Other Criminals. They can't keep us entertained for much longer with this BS they're pulling.
 
Heists Part 2 . They could add this :


latest


Those who played SA would remember how great the Hunter was .

latest

I really liked the sea sparrow too .

The Leviathan Skycrane was also pretty good .

latest


On the other hand , we have the Cargobob , buzzard and savage ( which I love ) . I think they replaced these vehicles . The savage is awesome though
 
What I do want is R* to add more cars with more reasonable content. Maybe mix them with new heists.

Examples:

A set of supers that ends up in Benny's? Well, make it the star role of a new heist that's similar to how Furious 5: with only that ridiculous fast car that can break the security system (somehow).

Weeny Issi Customs can do an Italian Job, escaping through the subway, and have Benny mod it to be versatile enough to dodge scripted heavy traffic.

We can help out the movie studios to reclaim some classic cars to be used in the movies, and relate that with Solomon Richards' stage in the main story..

Or even have precursor heists to Devin Weston's car collection that involve the new stock, then have a finale similar to what we did in Series A: hot transfer.

Then, we have a new sports classic that has to investigate and reclaim the Merryweather device that Trevor had his eyes on the story, but through a secret underground base, which involves us using said car, converted to a Bond-esque submersible to escape with in a quick fashion. But we're working with a Merryweather rep to steal it, ehh? Ehh?

Oh! Oh! And a set of missions that can unlock the Duke O' Death, but involves driving around Blaine County and messing with a drug/brothel operation from some real murderous people. Maybe the O'Neil brother's rivals before they dominated.

And then, we can have a Zancudo base infiltration, where we need another variant of the Insurgent with a nuke inside to..


Now I'm just rambling, I apologize :D
 
Like I've said a dozen times before, Rockstar needs to fix their servers. The loading times are pathetic on PS4, and I'm sure they aren't any better on XBOX One. Also, why do I still have that sound bug?! Zero phone sounds play and neither do missile locks!
 
Servers are absolutely abysmal on last gen. If Rockstar would actually spend time fixing complaints instead of adding game modes nobody cares about, adding cars and weapons nobody cares about, this game wouldn't get bashed nearly as much as it does. Oh, and I'll still never buy a shark card, either.

I hate to break it to you, but last gen will probably never get fixed. Rockstar pretty much only cares about the enhanced versions of the game now. Sorry. :/

Servers in GTAO? You wish. R* has this really stupid Peer2Peer system for its sessions, which is why only 30 players (16 in your case) can play in a single session and it is also the reason why the session lags like hell due to one player with a bad connection.

Peer2Peer, from what I understand, is basically that all players are connected to each other and everyone "leeches" from the session host. So if the host doesn't have an amazing connection, either the whole session will time out or it will lag enough to make the game unplayable.

The player base has been pestering R* to implement dedicated servers for GTA Online ever since its launch, but all they do is add adversary modes... :banghead:

Another problem is that the game always has to force you into a highly-populated session, which takes FOREVER in comparison to a lobby with a handful of players.

Disabled controller sounds??? i think you also need to set a check mark to play these sounds through your headset
 
So, the new Minivan Custom is out..

And I won't be home for another 6 hours..

*inhales*

WHYY?! OH WHYYY?! MY DREAMS OF TROLLING PEOPLE WITH A SOCCER MOM VAN BEING HELD BACK IS MORE PAINFUL TO ME THAN ACTUALLY GETTING THE VAN, GIVING IT A ROLE IN EXECUTIVE SEARCH THAT MADE IT MY BFF IN A WAY, FILLING UP MY GARAGE SO I CAN'T GET A REPLACEMENT UNTIL THE NEXT GARAGE UPDATE WHICH HAS TO BE EITHER A SADLER, RADIUS OR STANIER, FORCE PEOPLE TO READ THIS LONG UNNEEDED PARAGRAPH TO VENT MY IMPATIENCE, THEN FINDING OUT THIS ENTIRE SHINDIG IS A LIE AND WOULD HAVE TO REGRET EVER HAVING SUCH A SILLY VAN TO BEGIN WITH, FOLLOWED BY ME SPENDING MONEY ON A SLAMVAN CUSTOM THAT HASN'T GOT A PROPER INTRODUCTION ON THE CARS THREAD AND LIVING IN SELF RADIO CAMEOS, THEN PLANNING TO GIVE MY LAST MOMENTS OF MY DARLING MINIVAN BEFORE SENDING IT TO BENNY'S FOR THE CONVERSION I ACTUALLY BE PAINED IN MY HEART THAT IT HAS TO GO ON, THEN A SMALL SHOOT OF THE DODO THAT HAS PROBABLY NO RELEVANCE BUT OH WELL, AND THEN MAYBE NOT UPLOAD IT SINCE I'M KIND OF A HOG IN THE MEDIA SECTION ANYWAYS THANKS TO GTA, GARY YOU ARE GOING TO EAT YOUR DESSERT AND YOU ARE GOING TO LIKE IT, ALONG WITH WHY NEED A LONG PARAGRAPH WITH CAPS LOCK AND BOLDED MODE STUCK IN IT. BECAUSE I CAN. I HOPE I DON'T GET WARNING POINTS FOR IT BUT I'M SURE I WON'T UNLESS I SAY SOMETHING SENSITIVE.
 
If you count "speed of plane in regards of it's size", then yeah: Miljet is faster..

And being probably the sole owner of a Minivan Custom around here, let me say that you, unless you like drifty soccer mom vans with more speakers than Spongebob has holes, should save your money for future things, like the Sabre Turbo Custom that will be full of performance despite it's mistreatment of what it really should be.

How is that faster than a Vestra? :confused:

How? No idea; I didn't code the game. A while back @OwensRacing, myself, and a couple friends took the image set seen below from a chase plane.


Initially, we attempted to use a Vestra as the chase/camera plane upon the assumption it was faster than the Miljet. Upon further finding, the Vestra was unable to keep up with the Miljet so we took the shots from the copilot seat of a second Miljet.
 
The one thing I like about the Miljet is that it's good for pissing people off in air races. Not much irritates people in air races quite like gitting hit and blown up by a Miljet. The same effect can be found by a terrible pilot losing to one in a difficult air race. Hell, in my friends group, a Miljet is almost a requirement since its a ritual to use things that piss off certain friends (for one of my friends, that's virtually anything in game, but still).

No, not at all. There were no qualifications.

I guess we need to do an airplane drag race. :lol:

More of a top speed test, really, is what you're looking for. It's been over a year since we've done any photo shoots like that above, which only forced us to become aware of the top speed disparity as a byproduct of the struggles in completing the photo shoot. We never set out to find out what was fastest, it only happened by chance.
 
I spent 500k for a 2 seater plane that can carry 4 and land on water. Seems fair for the value.

Then, I spent 1.2 million dollars.. On a minivan.

R* economics is probably the real secret meaning of the universe, because we really can't figure out what it means.

I'd spend 1.2 million dollars as well if it meant being the coolest person on the planet

So cool, in fact, I feel like I became a giant target for the immaturity out there when I went cruising and playing with the hydraulics that had an optional strongest variant that costs twice as much. And you may ask: what was the option? COLORED PANELING.

3 different occasions for separate, independent drive-bys that the Minivan didn't survive at all.
