I was on that until 2am last night with my fellow crew members. Time has a way of flying when you're playing it, that's for sure.

GarrusVakarian3852d ago (Edited 3852d ago )

It sure does, im having a break at the moment because its taking over my life. I woke up today and put the game on straight away and din't come off it for at least 5 hours.

I haven't woken up and put a videogame on straight away in a long time.

@hankmoody

Haha, yeah especially when you use the Weazel News filter for the camera.

hankmoody3852d ago

It's so good that I actually don't mind spectating when I'm dead and there's no more team lives left. It's like watching the friggin' news!

xHeavYx3852d ago

I agree, this thing takes a lot of your personal time, but it's a lot of fun. Too bad it's hard to find dedicated buddies

HexxedAvenger3852d ago

Most fun on with a friend doing random things ever!

evilbart3852d ago

Only thing that annoys me is the passive mode seems to be broken and all these 10 year olds running around killing me like its call of duty and losing my money all the time.

evilbart3852d ago

Well acting like a 10 year old also qualifies

SITH3852d ago

And crying like bitch in a game called grand theft auto is disturbingly odd. Run faster next time light weight.

creeping judas3852d ago

As soon as you make money, use your phone, log onto the internet, find the log into Maze Bank, deposit all your money into the bank. And if it's in the bank, a ten year old douche can't pop a cap in your ass and steal your money. I even had someone send me a message saying "as if you didn't have any money on you glitcher!!", after he popped me and tried to take my money. The only time you need money physically on you is if you are entering a race of any sort. At least that is what I have found so far.

evilbart3852d ago

But I do bank my money after every mission but it still gets deducted from me?

Ashby_JC3852d ago

I myself just started using my cell to deposit winnings into my bank account. I havent lost any significant amount of money.

I love the dynamic it adds to the game. Being paranoid as a mofo until you get that money deposited lol.

Imagine if there was a way you could see a players wallet amount....it would be anarchy!!!

Swiggins3852d ago

You lose money because the game deducts a percentage of your money to pay for your hospital bills.

Basically, you lose money to respawn.

I actually think that if money is banked you shouldn't lose it when you die...even if you're holding the cash when somebody kills you, you'll only lose like an extra $100, the rest is medical bills.

Ashby_JC3852d ago

Im really liking the setup of this game.

Im hoping they make improvements and changes as time goes on so it wont get stale.

I went to a ATM to make a deposit (I use my cell now lol) and right when I was done...a DUDE blasted me!!! I guess he figured I didnt deposit my whole wallet...luckily I did that time.

Thar she blows! That be a whale!! Let's talk to them mateys!

phoenixwing33d ago

@disagrees
Didn't have a good rebuttal did you? We all know the select players are whales who waste thousands or hundreds of thousands on the games currency. You expect them to make the same kinds of demands as everyone else? Keep dreaming.

Inverno32d ago

Well that and most likely streamers who have helped harpoon all those whales lolz.

Why is this news? Is this supposed to be some sort of heads up to those involved?

Kombatologist39d ago

Why shouldn't this be news? If you play the game at all, you'd know this has been a problem for a while. Tell me, how is it fair for legit low-level players to be grieved by players using modded accounts with disposable amounts of cash? It's about time Rockstar did something about these losers.

BISHOP-BRASIL39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Not that I really played it in forever, but the way I used to roll on online once I realize I had no interest in actually doing heists and micromanaging property and shit, the moment someone decided to pick a fight I'd just leave towards north, jump the fence of the army base, steal a jet and grief away... Pro tip: they can't really make you pay for other players cars when you have not one single penny to your name.

EDIT: Got carried away... Anyway, my point was, you can grief without money, this is not stopping it.

Kombatologist39d ago

@BISHOP-BRASIL

I get what you're trying to say, but it's a false equivalence. Anyone could jump the fence and grab a jet back in the day. The dynamic changed once R* started introducing militarized vehicles, such as flying motorcycles with homing rockets, a stealth helicopter, and most recently, a stealth jet. There's so many militarized vehicles now, you really have to keep up with the latest and greatest in order to defend yourself from that shit, which is really expensive to do. Sure, you could make the argument that Shark Cards give players the same advantage as a modded account. The thing is, they don't. Not even close. A modded account can have ANY amount of money, as well as ANY weapon and/or vehicle, even ones that aren't available in the game yet (as long as they're in the datafiles). Some of them even have glitched characters with invisible limbs/weapons. This is an unfair advantage to anyone who plays legitimately and nobody should have to risk getting their accounts permanently banned from stooping to the same level just to compete. Furthermore, making money is really easy to do now. Which begs the question: Why buy a modded account in the first place? I think the answer is obvious.

Petebloodyonion39d ago

So this is news because a Twitter guy says so :)
