I finished a survival with Wardez and some randoms earlier on, that was fun. I don't think I'll grind survivals though, they're not all that exciting if you know what you're doing.

That mission for Lemar where you have to rescue some guy who is being driven around the outside of the map in a van sucks, it really, really sucks. First of all, the passenger can shoot you with his Micro SMG through the van, so there's no safe zone. Secondly, the driver can expertly weave through any obstacles (I tried to set up a roadblock in the tunnel but it had absolutely no effect whatsoever), thirdly - and most importantly - when you finally stop the van, you have to drive all the way back to the city again whilst constantly under attack from a pair of SUVs which contain expert gang marksmen who can hit you consistently from quarter of a mile away, and when you evade them... Two more spawn in front of you. Then when you inevitably die, two more spawn on you and kill you before you can even reach a car. I was playing alone (because no one would join me, maybe they knew) and on hard mode, though, and it frustrated me so much that I ended today's session by pulling the power cable out of my PS3.

Also, why does everyone say GTA V's aiming system is so good? Or at least better than GTA IV? It's horrible and it sucks! So many times I'll be trying to aim at a guy who is aiming at me but my character just doesn't seem to lock on, and sometimes I can lock on to people while they're in vehicles and sometimes I can't, I don't understand why it sometimes works but very often doesn't. It's crap, unless your enemies are a fair distance away and not in cover.

:lol: I agree, just did that mission today. I did it on easy so I didn't quite die, but it still was a very annoying mission.
 
Just did something so epic...

Someone collected one of those specific cars for Simeon, the ones everyone is notified about. I chased the guy who collected it down in my Cheetah, killed him, parked the export car at a gas station and when he went back to get it: took out the auto shotgun, blew up the gas station, which destroyed the export car, him, his personal car and another dude :lol:

then fled like a boss

Awesome!
 
I think I'll go on passive mode more often, I just got killed 4 times in a row. I really don't appreciate building up to $120k and then having $8k snatched off of me.
 
My newly acquired speed demon. I would rather prefer a hard-top, but LegendaryMotorsports.com doesn't let you choose the style of Banshee. Ah well, it's still a Banshee in the end. :D

Somebody was killing gang members and I pulled up to help him get away from the cops and the dude just shot me. So, when I respawned, I found him, pulled up next to him and killed him back.
 
I'm off for a while guys, thanks for the money. :D

I do have a head set but I would have had to reset the console to get it working so I'll set it up for next time.
 
Finally! Got my racing blonde tattoo back! Beat the record on Old Downtown, Apparently race times dont count as world records held? I beat the 6 lap record by 12 seconds and I couldn't get it, But I got my upgraded Akuma and set the individual lap record, My previous best being 29.385, The previous record being 29.156 and I now hold the current record at 28.592 :)
 
The survival at the scrapyard is ridiulously fun. Me and 3 kept replaying it and getting to level 10 each time! 20k! Also, I've come to the conclusion that no one races clean in GTA....
 
Played a bit more tonight, still not really having that much fun. I tried joining games with GTP guys in, only worked once.

Also I have a question, how come some of the crew tags appear next to names all square edged and others are like this?

My first race today was fairly clean. Nobody tried to ram me off the road. And ended up pulling out a win. :D
 
After 175 races, I've noticed that the people who try to spin others out almost never win. I race clean but accidentally pit maneuver some people on corners. :sly:

If you're on about the Grand Tour race with Sport Classics, then yeah that was a fun race. :D
I nearly had ya at the end but lost it on the last corner. That blue Z-Type kept holding me up so I eventually spun him after he tried blocking me. Those guys were terrible. :lol:

Yeah that one. When they got into the Mario Kart type stuff with the power ups I lost interest.
