Having mics would be good. But the multiplayer stuff needs work. With mics, if you are playing a deathmatch against another team, everyone can hear each other. And the way they choose teams is kind of stupid. It doesn't keep crews together and ended up putting the three highest levels together for a 3 team deathmatch.

The combat is so terrible I don't know how anyone can play deathmatch. With the auto-aiming and how fragile your character is, whoever gets the drop always wins. Lock on, aim up a bit for a headshot, have the same thing happen to you, rinse and repeat. Very little skill and even less fun

Going first-person mode in the chopper has completely changed the dynamic of this game. Perhaps my biggest struggle was with the camera all along. Oh, and finally taking the time to max out the flying skill at flight school seems to have made a big difference. Guess I have to quit bitchin' now.

On another note, at what point did Trevor strap a teddy bear to the grill of his truck?

I been playing online lately. Hard to make money, but I'm stealing cars & taking it to Los Santos customs once an hour or so to sell them. Making between $5000 to $9000.

If you are able to, I recommend spending some time grinding in the standard races. You can build up money fairly quickly.

New Mythbusters is out:

The one around the prison is good for this. Takes about 90 seconds to complete the race. I made $7k in about 10 min (I suck at racing).

The most profitable race I've seen is a quick one lapper through the concrete canal, can usually finish it in about a minute and if the guy hosting is above level 20 then you can get 8k for finishing first (or 2k for 4th)

I found a cool trick out today. If the vehicle you are driving is trashed you can switch to another character and switch back and it will be repaired. Works great for smoking choppers or planes.

Did anyone bother doing the Stranger quest where they have to find 30 submarine parts? I got bored and annoyed after finding 5 of 30 parts. I assume it's for a lot of money but I have already did the final heist so it would probably won't make much of a difference.

I did the submarine parts the same time as another quest that is in the ocean. I forgot the quest, but after two game sessions in the sub, I got both of them.

The Grand Theft Auto series... from humble beginnings.


Also, a documentary on the series.

If you see GTA 5 torrented, dont download it...

http://www.theguardian.com/technolog...online-malware

Quote:
On Monday, PC news site WCCFTech reported that thousands of eager gamers had been taken in by a fake file distributed on torrent sites, which appeared to be a leaked PC version of GTA V, but was actually a great big bundle of malware.
Site metrics and Seed Ratio reveal that this particular torrent has been downloaded well into the thousands. The setup file is a realistic 18GB and has an actual setup.exe file, one that works. Basically a malicious replica of the original setup file, this one doesnt give out any hint of malicious activity.
As CNET later reported:
The file looks legit, appearing near the top of Google search results, and nearly 7,000 users connected; however, appearing as a setup.exe file, the first clue that something could be awry is the file size 18.3GB, compared to 7.7GB for the Xbox 360 version.
