Liking my new motorcycle.

You're going to die so much.

[Vareiln]

Liking my new motorcycle.

You're going to die so much.

I've driven at least 10 miles in it and haven't crashed once, so no, perhaps I won't.
EDIT: Ohhhh you mean multiplayer, don't you? Well, I don't play that much.

I was once watching my friend customize his chopper in multiplayer. After boosting it's speed and changing it's paintjob, he looked at getting bulletproof tires and armor plating.
I told him to not even bother, and he asked why.
I replied: It's a motorcycle. And it's multiplayer. They don't even need a gun to kill if you're chasing them and they hit the breaks.

I failed a mission once because I fired a random pistol shot, which pissed off an NPC in an SUV behind us, who promptly floored it into us.

Motorcycles are just like bunnies: Fast, agile, and easy to kill if you stop moving because everyone is an asshole and wants your god damn soul.

[Corrian]

Anyone know when you can start storing helicopters and airplanes?

[Imperial isa]

Yet you get missions where you start with motorcycles and the other side with cars

I hate those missions

[The Revolutionary Fighters of Intel]

Anyone know when you can start storing helicopters and airplanes?

You can start storing them as soon as you buy them. Once you buy a helicopter or plane you can call Pegasus and tell them to deliver it to the nearest airport or helipad.

...so we don't have to buy helipads and airfields? That's pretty awesome.

Do you know if the planes and helicopters come with insurance or not? Is insurance even purchasable for those?

I think they come with it.

Problem with not having to buy pads and fields is that we can't just steal a plane or chopper and make it ours.

[Marsisian]

I need a car that is not premium that I can steal and put in garage.

[Costa Alegria]

The Titan keeps spawning at the airfield near Sandy Shores.

[Ancient Magmia]

For everybody who doesn't know...if you sign up for the Rcokstar Social Club, you can get a free Elegy RH8 (you can also get a free sawed-off shotgun btw).

So that explains why I got my RH8 for free the other day.

True. Although I'm content with just having the helis and planes spawn at certain locations.

I read somewhere that them and the tank ,you can't get insurances on

But i all so read you can somehow glitch them to get it

Ahh, I got the shotgun, but not the car...

Honestly, Rockstar seems like they're really good at giving you free things in GTA (All the free online stuff they are going to be giving us in the future), when they could easily be a greedy video game company if they wanted to be. They've made the kind of money you usually see from the greediest of companies...

I like Rockstar. Even more so as of late because they seem to be into actually making and evolving gaming more. Their bullet hit reactions on Max Payne 3, Red Dead Redemption is one of my favorite video games of all time, GTA V's amazingly constructed and detailed open world that looks fantastic on old consoles....

Anyway, is that car modeled off of the Nissan GTR or something? If it is what I'm thinking of, it seems like I remember it looking like a Nissan GTR.

I agree. Even with the fiasco of GTAO's release, I thought they handled it well. And then giving all of us $500,000 as an apology...that's pretty awesome.

http://gta.wikia.com/Elegy_RH8

The car's greenhouse, front quarter, rear bumper area, natural rear wing and wheels are inspired by the Nissan GT-R (R35) SpecV. The front headlamps are reminiscent of the Infiniti G37's, which is also related to the Nissan Skyline/Nissan GT-R. The front bumper, rear quarter area and most of the car's rear face are clearly inspired by the Toyota FT-86 G-Sports Concept.

So yeah, pretty much.

And let's be honest, paying anyone $500,000 is going to suddenly turn them into someone that likes you.
Even if that money isn't real.
Nonetheless, hookers, guns, and cars aplenty for everyone.

Except for the people that cheated and took advantage of glitches. They would be rolling in money and would not care for $500 000.

if you take advantage of glitches, I'm pretty sure I heard Rockstar will permanently ban whoever uses them. And rightfully so.

Holy hell, I suck at driving. Anybody got tips for a complete newb to this game (and series)?

• Take your finger off the accelerator when going around corners sharper than 'curve in the road'. You will lose speed, but for the beginning you probably lack the skill to be able to judge which corners exactly can be gone at full pelt, what point in cornering you can apply the accelerator, how much to do so by etc.
• When using the handbrake on sharp corners, you may notice you spin out some times. You can tell if it's starting to spin out, because as you make a turn you can almost imagine a predicted line along which you should slide, like Scalextrix. If you start to overshoot that line, or your rear end is sliding out, then try turning away from the curve momentarily, this can cause your car to straighten.
• If a police van is parked on the road in your path on a motorway, it will probably be blocking a single one of two lanes - ram between the side of the road and the end of the van that blocks a lane. If you go across the cleared lane, there is probably a spike strip there.
• Learn to know which cars are good (e.g. Karin Futo) and which are bad (e.g. Fathom FQ2) at handling, dodging through traffic etc.
• Motorbikes are easier to use, but if (/when) you fuck up, the effects will be magnified.

[Nation of the Genuine Peoples]

Good guy Rockstar; wonder why DICE, Activision and EA can't follow their examples, and DICE is a European company, dammit!

[Ancient Magmia]

Out of curiosity, did anybody make a playlist (or plan on doing so) of music to listen to while you're playing (not in-game but to listen to while you're playing)?
I'm working on one right now.

Those a great tips, even if you're a decent driver.
Although I personally find motorbikes more difficult to control.

Nope, I haven't. Can you make your own custom playlists?

Not that I have a lot of music (currently) beyond what is on Spotify, but still.

So is Rockstar, in a way. The division that worked on GTA is in Scotland I believe.
