GTA Online Thread (Useful Links in OP)

That description sounds like the sort of cars that would rust out and get abandoned, if you ask me.

Especially since they're only a few feet away from the water. In heavy wind conditions and high tide, you can bet those cars would be swamped. Here's the funny thing about the cars: They're high-end vehicles. I'm certain they are either Vapid Bullets or Pegassi Infernuses (Infernuseseseseses? Inferni? ).

Infernus (I remember loving it back in the older GTA's but not in GTA V for some reason)

 

[SomePlayaDude]

There was a heating argument I read about somewhere about this plural Infernus thing.

Many went with "Infernuses", like what people do with "campuses" and "octopuses".

 

[Aggserp4]

Is the Infernus a car worth buying?

 

[sparkytooth]

Does anyone still play this on PS3? Yesterday I started playing and I'm sitting at rank 21.

1. I do.
2. You got to level 21 in ONE DAY?

1. Cool
2. Yes, I just played alot of stuff and insurgents vs rockets too

I have one for a long while now. It's got the (bare) Super competitive edge, just lacking the top speed and the user friendliness.

And when you do want to get one, be sure to get the spoiler or you will be boiling by the snap oversteer of the car, kind of like the Saikou XS in Midnight Club 2.

I still play almost daily.

Fun to drive and I think it looks great. Like SPD said, a spoiler is recommended if you're doing high-performance driving.

Infernii, like octopii (just playin', no argument here)

I play occasionally (as in I'll play regularly for a few days and then go inactive for weeks because I don't use my PS3 much in general), but I feel like I've seen everything there is to see on last-gen at this point. Without VIP missions, lowrider customization, or freemode events, there's really not much to do without friends, and since I'm on last-gen it's rare that I'll ever see a single other GTP user.

Heck, even with friends, it only opens up the possibility of heists. I haven't done any of the challenges yet, not even the All In Order or Same Crew ones, so I could try and do those, but once those are done then there's literally nothing left.

That tube thing looks awesome, but I get the feeling that PC players are going to get caged inside them in free roam.

 

[Leadfoot530]

And here I was just thinking GTA V was on the downward slope. "Stuntready vehicals and gear". Now that sounds interesting. I'm imagining some sort of dune buggy with a rollcage type thing.

So gonna need to get on with grinding for money again, as I'm down to $150k after buying an Osiris. I don't like being poor!

Side not, how much money does it take to aquire a Banshee 900R, including modifications and customization?

Just assume every Benny's vehicle will have a minimum of a million to get satisfied with. The Banshee is slightly less so. The Sultan, on the other hand..

Speaking of Benny's, it appears we might get Benny's versions of certain offroad vehicles with the hint of "stunt" vehicles.

For the people who somehow refuse to visit the newswire: they announced upcoming updates.

- A new way to play VIP: contraband trafficking. Purchase an organization HQ and manage buying and selling of certain illicit goods. Watch out for raids on your shipments and keep eye on your HQ in case of raiding. If the PVP is all in this, this is kind of like Clash Of Clans, if you ask me.
- Expect a new set of stunt vehicles and gear, and more props to play with in the Creator.
- More special discount weeks and adversary modes.

 

[Dan]

As for stunt vehicles, the Coil Brawler looks like a fast and bouncy car that would be perfect for amazing feats like these videos below. Unfortunately, Rockstar didn't give it a lot of power, good brakes, or AWD.

Spoiler

Hopefully, the Panto will also receive an upgrade. At the moment, the performance is perfect, but I think it could use some more grip, although it should be optional, depending on the types of stunts you perform with it.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

I'm not sure I want the Panto to be the next HotWheels turbo machine, but.. let's not restrict our views for a minute.

This is GTA, we can stunt with ANYTHING.

Yep, ANYTHING.
God it feels great to bring this gif out again. And I hope we're going to get ramps like that in everyday free roam.

If you're going to post that stunt, you might as well post the original video, since the creator has expressed his displeasure of GIFs stealing his views.

 

[Niyologist]

Due to the new update. I will create a new organization.

He took the time to create it, I think he should get recognition. I don't see the difference from some idiot freebooting it and putting it on Facebook, minus the idiotic emojis attached to it.

 

[Sage Ages]

I need to stop blowing my money on nice things, so I can afford these newer nice things.

 

[gnomefromnome]

You have to be an egotist enough to care about views, come on.

 

[Dan]

Or, he wants credit for something that he made.

 

[gnomefromnome]

Credit or views, either way I won't even watch the video. The gif is good enough.

 

[Jahgee]

The gif has his name on it, it's not like someone else is taking credit for it

I'm not sure what R*'s rules on video monetization are, but there's a reasonable chance that he gets revenue from his videos. Every time that .gif gets passed around, and/or every time his videos get reuploaded onto Facebook, that's potential revenue lost - plus people are way less likely to see his other videos if they're shared in .gif form when they're not a single click in the 'Related Videos' section away. So it's not unlikely that it's less 'I need views to validate my self-worth' and more 'I need views so that I can afford to keep spending time making this stuff'.

Creating content like that takes effort, and personally I think the least we can do is respect the guy's wishes, lest he quit and get replaced by yet another clickbait trash GTA 'news' channel. If I were in his situation, I'd feel pretty put out about spending all that time recording and editing, only for some chump to run my video through giftube and post it on imgur at a quarter of the resolution so they can get their own upvotes.
