Grand Theft Auto 5

[Bralia]

Driving is a lot easier now that I've stopped trying to brake around corners at top speed. I really should have considered some common sense, real-world driving tactics before coming to you guys. . I'm still may not skilled enough to perform in that first race we're given with Franklin, but I can outrun and deal with cops, so I figure I should be fine for most of the game. I still want to ask, what should I look for in a race car? Is speed preferable to maneuverability? Or the opposite? My experience with a speedster has been rather catastrophic, so far . . .

Get good enough at driving that you can easily correct yourself if you get into a crash, otherwise speed is your best friend in a race.

Just had an amazing game today.

It first happened as soon as I got out of my apartment. I turn over to my left and see a cargobob with it's pilot out of it fighting tons of cops all around the place. I have no clue what's going on, but as soon as I see he's ran far enough, I steal helicopter. However, he gets pissed as all hell and shoots me until I'm smoking. I get away, then get a text saying there's a premium car Simeon wants. So, I fly on over to the parking lot it's in and hitch the damn thing on the hook and fly away. Next thing I notice is all these white blips on the radar coming towards me as tons of other players start racing to steal the thing away from me. It was an epic troll.

I try to drop the car near a pay-n-spray in town, but angry players kept waiting there for me, so I went to the one farthest away from the city. I park the chopper not far from the pay-n-spray, paint the car, and see the chopper has despawned. So, I speed as fast as I can towards the docks to get paid, when all of a sudden this rich 101-level starts chasing me down and completely shoots up my car. I try to shoot back and give him the slip, but he pops my tires and I only get halfway to the docks before he kills me. Anyway, I spawn back and was just walking around, minding my own business when the rich asshole( same guy) puts a 9000 dollar bounty on me and 2 other people in the lobby. I immediately run over to a car and drive into the country side. I drive until I find a boat, then I move far away offshore, so I can watch people while I'm eating. Then, the epic ensued.

After I finished eating, I decide to sail over to the other side of the map to see if I could drive anyway out so I could kill them. And out of nowhere, 2 missiles barely miss my boat and then this buzzard crashes into the water in front of me. The pilot gets out, and I mentally debate to either kill him or leave him there to rot. Then I shoot him after failing to run over him with the boat. So, I keep moving over until I'm in the ocean on the left side of the map, and I start moving towards land to see if I can draw anyone out. As I get closer to these industrial docks, a cargobob tries to kamikaze the boat and fails. I shotgun the pilot, and carry on until the same buzzard from before shows up again and tries to missile me. I speed up and he fails to hit me. I keep speeding along until I get close to a beach and beach the boat with a sharp turn. The pilot tries to compensate for it, but fails and crash lands the buzzard onto the beach. I snipe him in the face before he gets a chance to get a round off at me. Now here comes the best part.

I get in the buzzard, but it's pretty damaged. So I keep going, minding my own business. I wanted to get on the very north part of the map so I could be safe and so I could eat. However, the buzzard craps out over the windmill farm, and I die. I spawn back, stranded, and with enemies nearby since another player with a bounty on them is just a stone's throw away with 3 guys on his ass. So I just sit back with my sniper rifle, hoping someone comes by to keep my bullets company. I watch from the hills of the windmill farm as the bounty player fights off 3 men as best he can. I trollingly shoot a few rounds at him, hoping I hit him to get the cash, but didn't actually think my bullets went that far. I keep doing this until he gets killed, and all his hunters disperse. However, as they were going away, there was one driving away on a motorcycle. I aimed ahead of him, and shot. I hit him from a mile away while on a moving motorcycle. He was at half health, but I felt accomplished. I notice no other hunters have gotten closer on the map, so I let my guard done to finish eating. Then, the battle began.

The buzzard( same guy from the last 2 times) comes by, shooting his missiles and misses horribly. I try to snipe him out, but I only wound him and damage his buzzard pretty badly. So 2/3 reasons not to mess with me was pretty good. However, as I was patting myself on the back, the rich 101-leveled douch( same one who put the bounty and shot my car) kills me and claims the bounty. Pissed as all hell, I make it my life's mission to kill him to lose most of that bounty money. What entailed after that was various gunfights onto of the hills of the windmill farm. We somehow drew the attention of a cargobob who tried to winch his car away he was driving, but I gun him in his car before the troll player got his chance. He came back and RPG'ed the troll and we continued fighting. I was even able to dodge an airstrike and gun down a helicopter he called in. I actually was able to reclaim $1000 from collecting the cash he dropped when died. Eventually, the score went 7 him, 8 me, so I called it square and ran off. I stole a van, and he chased me down in his sportscar before I could get far away. He threw sticky bombs at me, hoping to get one off. I dodged about 5 of them before he finally got me.

Sad thing is, I probably only used about 1000-2000 dollars worth of ammo from all of that. Yet he spent so much trying to fight me and only got the score even. I guess money can't always win your fights.

Niiice. I need a good day like that.

Get good enough at driving that you can easily correct yourself if you get into a crash, otherwise speed is your best friend in a race.

I've played enough driving/racing games over my entire gaming life that I already automatically knew how to pull off some of those recovery moves. I can tell that, despite racing games being a whole different type of style, it has helped my driving a lot in Grand Theft Auto V. The first mission with Franklin and Lamar I never crashed once until the cops started smashing me. And every time I have a spin out, I've learned to smoothly pull off the spin out move, driving backwards fast, and flip your car around quickly approach, and I'm pretty sure that is from the racing games I've played.

That sounds magnificently epic.
I can't stand those assholes who just randomly shoot at you, though.

I'm just pissed at how many times the rich asshole used is money to get 3 kills off of me.

So where do the free cars go if your garage is full ?

[Old Vester]

So where do the free cars go if your garage is full ?

Hmm....well I know when you store a new car when your garage is full, it'll ask you which car do you want to delete.
So, if you didn't get a prompt, I'm guessing it probably got deleted.
Call the mechanic, and if that car you mentioned isn't there, then my idea was right.

I just did the mission from Martin called Extradition. It is one of the best missions ever, it gives you $20 000.

I'm currently downloading the 64 MB Title Update for GTA V. I'm guessing it is the Beach Bum's Pack DLC.

EDIT: Turns out it is to prepare for the incoming update. Stupid Rockstar and not releasing it on a Tuesday in Australia.

You got to reminder to add a day release dates

I won't pass on some paying others to play in shifts with them

Alright, so I go online and spawn in my apartment. I hear gunfire, and decide I want to know where it's coming from. So I turn on the TV, and Weazel News gives me a shot from a helicopter of a tank firing on people. Something about the view looks familiar, so I turn the TV off, walk to the window... and I see a tank firing at shit.

I immediately went to the garage, intending to see how well a Vacca could avoid tank gunfire. Dude was gone. Oh well. Got blown up by a sticky bomb left on the road, though.

In other news, I am four hours in to a 9 grand bounty.

How do people even set bounties?

Also, unrelated: I had no idea you could do solo races...that's some easy RP.

I don't understand how bounties work half the time....Sometimes they stay on you FOREVER, and sometimes not so much. The first one I got didn't last on me very long whatsoever before I escaped the helicopter trying to blow me to smithereens.

How do people even set bounties?

Lester.

They call Lester, but you gotta be level 10 to do it. It was an NPC that put one on me, though.

I prefer parachuting. Better views.
