The GTA Online thread

Bikes are snappy yea, you just have to be careful. Seems to hurt more when you have an off too, actually I think everything hurts more than in IV. Way twitchier than in IV too. That bit where we ran down the path along the reservoir was particularly tricky, walls either side!
By LT I assume you mean RT? Or does braking stop the wheelspin?

[slowx]

Oops, yeah, RT.

I'm still trying to launch off the line like every bugger out there...everyone just buggers off from the line pulling about 10 car length in an instance...

[Gazzas86]

in these races that you lot are doing, do you use your own car?

[slowx]

Yes

don't worry about it (and don't you dare transfer any money!) I was having just as much fun. Shame the plane wouldn't hook.
the comment about ruining our con-voy was a bit tongue in cheek
was oddly fun to drive lorries though. sadly my tanker was by far the slowest. I think the clucking bell was the fastest, although the flat bed was close.

Found one of those troop trucks parked up in the sandy shores Ammunation car park for some reason. It's possible for other players to sit in the back

Unfortunately actually having fun appears to be very expensive in this game

But totally worth it for the experience of having to repeatedly stop and wait for you lot to catch up when we were playing in the hills

What he said^^^.....and Man up! just imagine you are playing GT5 with Colin.

Thought it might be that, I've been trying to hold reasonable revs and just get massive wheelspin because of it for some reason.
I am perfectly manly thanks. It's just all my races seem to be ruined by people trying to carry far too much speed into a corner and wiping me out as I'm busily trying to take it properly. Still fun, I'm just not making the money

That convoy was classic fun! As was the PH 'flying squad' , I still reckon we could make a 'killing' if we could get 6 helicopters, fully loaded with guys that have rockets/grenades/ snipers and go bounty hunting as a pack sharing the spoils of course!

I laughed as the convoy song played when I jumped in that flatbed! I got some good pics of the cargobob carrying the 4x4 with a plane hurtling towards it whilst a maverick hovered dangerously close

A convoy....


Slow-x couldn't handle the effects of the bong....


Random....


Slow-x attempting to give another pher a 'lift'....

Ive set up a XBox crew thread.

Hopefully this will keep things easier to arrange

Does this mean this thread needs a PS3 crew rename?

LOL, I was only a bit tired mate...the bong has nothing to do with it...just sleepy...ok

[Gazzas86]

Anyone going online for some races around about 4pm ish (PS3)???

No, but the convoy looks quite impressive.... im sure we can do better!

Scarble, how many were in your convoy?

I'm up for it, anything goes, I'd love a race with just PHers, I would just stay at the back of the pack and film it if I could do that

In addition to this then, will we have enough for a crew only game... hhmm,

[Jimmy No Hands]

That'll be me Although all the chicken in the back combusted on the beach. Or maybe it was Slow throwing all those sticky bombs about?

Whose apartment is it that I was in after picking you all up in the helicopter?

Hmm...I've seen most PHers come on free roam around 8pm or after, not sure if there are enough of the crew from 4pm willing to race instead of doing missions...

Anyway, I'm good for any kind of race.

The sticky bomb thing...if placed right, it'll make the trunk do a front flip

[paulwoof]

around that yeah, its like solo. it works on a percentage i think, upto a maximum of 2k, that maximum comes very quickly,

i lost about 12k in 5 minutes having a fight with some tosspot who kept killing me, he kept hiding on a roof and i would run back to get him.

im not a fan of this passive mode crap either, was at sandy shores airport, saw a guy in passive mode ran me down, but didnt kill me, i got in a plane which he then proceeds to crash into in passive mode so i cant kill him, he then blows up my car. he drives off, exits passive mode, and im walking in the dessert and runs me down and kills me, i go to get him back and he pussys out into passive mode. even call of duty never got me this angry, then i put a bounty on him and he can just leave the game?

You're only protected in passive mode if on foot, I believe that if he's in a car you can kill him.

I had a guy run me down as I was shooting at a Range Rober to steal it. Luck was on my side. I flipped into an alley, stood up and shot him. He came back for more, I killed him again, he left. WTF?

If you can't handle it why start on someone? lol
