Grand Theft Auto V

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

Anyone still playing on XBone? I tried to see if there were any crew members on last night, and no dice.

I just got the game but don't have consistent online time....mostly single player for now to get used to everything. XBone isn't the popular one here for GTA, there was a guy in the online gaming forum here for GTA that set up a separate crew or whatever, you might look for him

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

I cannot join friends' matches on line, either trough the game nor through gamertag. Any work around for this?

I think it all depends on what type of session your friends are in. If they are in an invite only session, you won't be able to join in without an invite. I normally just send my friends a message to send me an invite or join their party chat. Hope that helps.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

I've never played a GTA game before, but reading this thread made me purchase it digitally last night. Should be ready to play when I get home from work. Couple questions.

what are some things a noob like me should do before really jumping into the main story to get a feel of things?

Are you guys mostly going back and forth between the 3 characters or do you pick one to roam with and switch back mainly when required for missions?

At the start of the game it automatically goes between the characters until all 3 are unlocked, then you can choose what missions/side missions you want to do with each character to progress the story or just go about your business doing whatever you want. The game starts you right into the story though.

I can just do what seems fun with whatever character, right? Anything (besides stocks, which i've heard about) I should be looking for specifically? I've just been flipping between Franklin and Michael so far doing different story missions.

Like are the Therapist things worthwhile, or just side stuff for fun? Things like that...

There are locked story missions for each character that just Michael, Franklin or Trevor can do but othr than that, yeah, do whatever you want. Always been the freedom of GTA.

Some recent shots.

Spoiler

My new modded ride for GTA Online. Turismo. Great car.


Kramer and I partying. Haha.






Coffey, ckarlic, and I finishing a mission.


Random dudes in suits smoking on the beach. Coffey and I decided to join them.




My new fully modded ride for Franklin in story mode. Bought the Adder for $1,000,000. Love that lime green color.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

My Adder online used to look like that but I changed it to stainless & carbon.

Not sure tho as my garage is full of cobwebs and it's hard to see my rides under all that dust.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

Is there much benefit to finishing the single player before tackling online?

Related note, how can I get out there with some OS guys, I'm a noob but I catch on quick.

They aren't connected so you can play online whenever you want regardless of the story mode. You want to make some money, buy a bunch of weapons and a nice car. Eventually you'll want an apartment to store your vehicles. Start out with a 2 car garage until you make more money. We usually never play in public rooms so we do private sessions. Always up for doing some missions and raising our RP.

Awesome, it's a long weekend here in Canada so I'll be starting up and hopefully get a good bit of time in to level up and buy some stuff.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

Not so fast my friend....I wouldn't waste money on a bunch of weapons.

As an example,I have about 500 smg's (never touch) another 275 pistols (never touch)....see the pattern here?...lmao

IMO,the most widely used and probably best weapons is the assault rifles,and even at that you only need a couple....my favs are the Bullpup and the advanced rifle.

I made the mistake of buying the smg's and pistols and found it to be a complete waste of money (imo).....

As far as the cars go,I would stick with the free Elegy,with a nice assault rifle and the free Elegy,ruling the streets of LS won't be that difficult.

Also one last thing to consider...if we can get 4 of us together,there's a pretty good chance of getting an assault rifle that won't need to be purchased.

Thanks Kramer, I started up last night but didn't have much time to do much other than create a character, will get deeper into it tonight! Seems like good times.
