I bet sits motionless till the next call, contemplating why millions of people cut him off daily.

He's just an unlikable character. All of his cutscenes are painfully awkward, and he's unnecessarily rude if you decide not to use his abilities (distracting cops, setting bounties, etc).

During the Fleeca job, when you are on the way to meet his assistant - he hits out with a line somethig like 'shes my assistant, first shes gonna saw me in half...' then something something. I laughed so hard. But I agree he is creepy, I like that there is a wide range of weirdos though. He reminds me of Craig from malcolm in the middle.

So, today I had I had the almost impossible Impromptu Race objective. Figured I'd try to get it since I'm saving money again. Almost joined a random lobby when I saw the "Find crew members" button.

After a short loading time I was put in a small lobby with @AJHG1000. After spamming invites because I was out of range, and sending him a message, we do a quick race to the airport.

Now for the GTA logic:

Typed a message of thanks to the fellow crew member for helping me out, went to share some cash with him for helping and then the black screen with the yellow alert message pops up. "You have lost connection to the lobby."

Go figure, least I got it done, though!

Has anyone noticed before that Lester's assistants in the heists appear in single player, or am I the only one who never pays attention to their names?

Which assistants? I know that Eddie Toh, the pilot of the Cargobob in the Fleeca Heist appeared in singleplayer as one of the NPCs you could select, but I didn't know about anyone else.

Paige is available as a hacker for the single player heists.

Oh. I only used Rickie Lukens during my playthroughs.

There's rumors that the Super Yacht will cost $12,000,000.

[Niyologist]

I'm okay with it too. It's a pretty reasonable price for what we are getting.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Here's hoping the Cobra and the Camaro will be reasonably priced as well.

I don't even have next gen yet, and I'm already hyped for this update. Please let Christmas bring me a PS4 or a ton of Gamestop giftcards.

 

[gnomefromnome]

I was never excited for the Blackfin, maybe these 2 cars will be exceptional.

 

[Crumpet]

I'm parked up right now in single player waiting for the online update to drop so I can buy a fancy virtual Yacht and have a grenade throwing party on it.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Strangely enough, after a dreadful DEDALUS experience, I'm in the same predicament, but Online..

And with a bounty too..

 

[Niyologist]

The yacht is confirmed to be priced at $7,000,000.

There are several other surprises, but I don't want to spoil them.

 

[gnomefromnome]

That Cobra thing....kinda looks like a Blackfin

Spoiler: Executive update

Yacht may be a no fly zone, and has a captain which will 'pilot' to your desired location. Folding knives wtf

...unconfirmed of course

No update pop'd up yet...

 

[Nessy]

[SomePlayaDude]

So, why is it 9 gb for console when the PC has it in just above 1 gb??

Also: this gem:

Changes have been made to matchmaking to help players find an active Job. Changes include:

• A new option, Filter Quick Job Content, has been added to the Online pause menu. Players can choose to filter by: Any, Rockstar Created Only and User Created Only content when launching via Quick Jobs.

HALLELUJAH!!

 

[STI9]

Its not 9gb, thats the size of all the updates not just this one. For some reason its cumulative rather than tell you the size of each individual update
