Sly Reflex Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 It says there's 6 cars you can modify so I'm guessing not. I guessed that this would happen with the low riders a bit back, especially since some of them are old and rusty, it wouldn't surprise me if you could sort some of that cruddy paintwork out as it makes some quite nice looking cars look rubbish. I wonder how popular the Voodoo will be after this? It's quite a nice look retro motor but it's performance is horrible. That's something I hope they look into when they do future GTA games. As it stands now the only cars that have a legacy in the game is the in the form of the Coquette and the Coquette Classic and the Ballers. If you go out on the road in real life you're going to see multiple generations of vehicles in various condition It's be awesome if you could go into the depths of the game world and find something like a junker Stinger, Stallion, Bobcat, 80's style Banshee or any of the scores of cars that have been in the series that have sort of just vanished into the mists of time and be able to take them and put a tracker in them. Make these vehicles one in a thousand spawn or something daft so that they're extra special. Once a tracker is fitted I'd make them 'restoration projects' where you have to spend loads of money on each aspect of the car making it back to what it was in its glory days. So when you start out you might have a Vice City Cheetah (or Testa Rossa as it's based on) that's knocked up to hell and performs badly, but as you sort out the body work and mechanical issues it gets back to it's former self and becomes your car that you've spent a lot of time and affection on restoring. By doing that you're making the pool of desirable cars bigger and bringing old favourites back. who doesn't want to have a Deluxo or 00's version of the Stinger at their disposal? Those cars were fucking sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Reflex Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I honestly don't think the way Lester tells you to go is the best. If you race to the west coast and follow the coastal road it's generally 4 lanes wide and has a direct road down to the dinghy if you cut off left at Chumash and follow the dirt road under Raton Canyon bridge. Going through the Hills via Stab City the way the game wants you to go funnels you into horror shows where the police can barricade the road off. You could also park up next to the dinghy by peeling off left before crossing the Calafia bridge where we stole the Barracks from just before that really bad left hand turn that leads into the tunnel. That would shave loads of time off so you don't have to do the gimmicky bullshit that Lester wants you to do. I don't know if the game will let you do that, but it's worth bearing in mind for when we go around next time. Fucking Lester. Fuck that guy and his stupid 'safe routes'.

Sly Reflex Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 We know how to get through it all now so it's only going to get easier. We were feeling our way through the missions, in future we'll know what can be pushed and what can't. Learning was half the battle, now it's time to polish up what we know and make bank while doing it. It's be nice to get some of the people that have not done it into the fold.

Sly Reflex Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I ended up spending the night on this after helping Troma get his daily stuff done, I was just sat in random lobbies talking to Duck about stuff while robbing stores. Normally I'd have got sick of being killed over and over again but for some reason I was in the most passive server ever. Every time I saw someone close to me I'd race to them to see what they were driving or see if they were going to be hostile and they would just log out as soon as they noticed someone following them. It appears there are people that are playing that just want to get on with not been a shit online, so that super refreshing. I'm sad that the userbase is so toxic that you can't pull up next to someone without them being suspicious though. I think next time I might send some texts out before chasing and see if I can get randoms to do some contact missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping the chicken taunt is like the Arrested Development taunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TromaDogg Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I thought the 'archenemy' kills would have been a lot more skewed in your favourLooks like that 'kill 20 players' nonsense gave me a boost the other night :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Looks like we finished the heist stuff just in time to go into the Benny missions. Looks like you need 4 players to kick them off similar to the heist stuff except there's no planning or anything like that. The coulred backgrounds on the texts you get are a better way of seeing if you want to select that job. They added in new art for the loading screens as well, which is nice. Either that or they rotated what was on show. It's kind of pointless doing that sort of thing, but it's nice they put the effort in, I'm kind of tired seeing Michael showing off his bullet damaged vest. Seeing Chop and Aunt Viv from Fresh Prince is a nice change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Reflex Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 If you want to save a bit of money go cruising around the areas where Grove Street is. If you drive around in a sports classic car you can see a load of premodified lowrider gang cars that can be stolen if you're willing to put up a fight to take them off the gangbangers. I can't see the benefit of spending money on the lowriders at the minute, unless you're going to need one to do specific missions. I might buy that Moonbeam Van as I don't have a van yet and it looks like it's good for drive bys. The Gang Burrito might be better overall though, I've no idea until I try them out. I'm not really that sold on lowrider culture, it tends to be a hispanic/black thing. I'm glad it's there as I know a lot of people that play GTA are into that sort of stuff but it just doesn't excite me at all. Hopefully they spin this off into illegal street races/thefts with Hao riffing on Gone in 60 Seconds. The locations and stuff are the same and the game's called Grand Theft Auto so it'd make sense. There's enough nice cars and classics in there to have a reasonably big list (the films had something like 40 cars in the original and 50 in the remake). Do 15 or so missions where you have to steal 3 or 4 cars a time from various places with your crew and you're golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Reflex Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 So I have a bit of a conundrum concerning one of the Heist related trophies. GTA: Online Spend a total of $8,000,000 purchasing vehicles included as part of The Heists Update. Now $8m is a lot of money to be spending on stuff. A list of what is included towards the trophy are shown HERE. On the shopping list I have... Karin Armoured Karuma $525,000 Mammoth Hydra $3,000,000 HVY Insurgent Pickup $1,350,000 Principe Lectro $750,000 Total - $5,125,000 Total leftover to spend $2,875,000 So I'm looking at the best part of $3m to spend on stuff that doesn't really do anything for me. I don't have a boat yet so I guess I could spend $125k there. The Buckingham Valkyrie would fill that fiscal gap but I don't really need another chopper since I have the Buzzard already. I'm not really sure where those dollars should be spent without them being wasted on something that'll never ever get used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 True enough, but that money that goes into stuff I'm never going to use could be spent elsewhere. Stuff got expensive since you packed in. You're looking at $2m+ for the best cars now. That's an expensive mistake if you balls up on getting something you don't like or won't use. Don't think of it as money, think of it as time invested. You're looking at about 1 hour equalling about 100k if you maximise how you're playing. To get the money I've currently got you're looking at 100 hours playtime. Probably more in my case as I do a fair amount of dicking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallofbooty Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Can I put in a plea for someone to join me, Sly and Troma to make up a four for our heist team. We're currently a bit stuck at the moment and need a semi regular partner to help us get stuff done. For any returning players there's now new missions based around the introduction of the lowriders too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 8pm onwards is too late? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Nah. We aim to get on at 8pm and play until about 10/11pm depending on what's coming up. On one occasion we've slipped over midnight trying to get those fucking bikes from the Lost before we were all so tired we had to pack it in. Now we know what we're doing for the most we'll be able to slip through those missions easily, anything that gets in the way will just be unlucky hurdles. The Prison Finale is really the only one that's genuinely hard. Humane Labs, Series A and Pacific Standard are a peice of piss for those that know what they're doing. We did them with Small, the renownedly shite player who wasn't even the worst player in the crew. Having someone that doesn't need to be carried as much will make the jobs far easier. We've not done any of the Lamar Davis Lowrider missions so I've no idea what they're about. You need 4 players for the first job but I think after that it varies. I've not looked into or talked about those missions with anyone as I want to go in blind. I talked with mates that'd done the heists beforehand and sort of spoiled bits and bats or plot points and surprises that I wish I hadn't. The only thing that you do need is a mic. if you don't have a mic some of the missions are impossible as there's parts where you need to coordinate actions down to a second.
