I'm not sure I've had to use the customer service in the whole time I've been playing. Been amazing value for £35, and I therefore don't begrudge a further £47-ish (hopefully less) for playing it in future. I can see why you'd be more annoyed after paying for the CE last time.

I can't believe I'd actually find myself willing to pay £350 to play a game I already own, that's been slightly tweaked - but here we are ha ha.

I'll have to wait till Feb though, babies to pay for...

Yeah, but Far Cry 4 is out on the same day and that looks pretty awesome too, so it'll be worth it

Quick question chaps about the "offline" game rather than online.

Would anyone mind checking to see if "Bawsaq" is "closed for maintenance" as it has been for me for 3 days and I wanted to finish Lesters missions & need to invest in Fruit.

Some epic racing from you earlier, CC. What have you been feeding that Phoenix!

Sorry we all crashed out of that last playlist we were doing, fellas. I was having trouble getting back into it and I decided it was late enough that I'm going to hit the hay and let my poor PS3 cool down. Hopefully will be on Saturday night though! We could have our delayed Hallowe'en party with hearses and masks and all that jazz.

Ooh, finding a suitable Halloween outfit will be amusing. Better use my female character smile

I'll be on Saturday night, anyway.

I raised it from a stock youngling on a diet of engine mods, lowered suspension and turbocharging; as it matured it sprouted a bodykit. Now, when occasionally awoken from hibernation, it snacks on raw driver talent biggrin


That was indeed a fantastic playlist - though only mainly in the second half when it was just us PHers. The first half was badly marred for me by the peloton of knobheads who consistently (and mostly deliberately) crashed into anyone trying to pass.

Some robust but very fair racing going on between me and LeeEnfield (swapping paint, but stopping and waiting if one of use span the the other out) and some epic drives by all of us - especially on the last "apex" track! Was I the only one that got consistently trolled by the Monza track not spawning the chicane until I was about to hit it?

That apex track was great (needs to go on our regular playlist) until I got passed and repeatedly fell off corners right before the end hehe
Much better with catchup and ss off though. I'm convinced that with them on, cars that are about straight line speed are disadvantaged and it sucks when you drive perfectly and still get mugged at the end just because catchup.
Though it was maybe a tad unfair when I shot off in my Cognoscenti, was I the only one in a modded car in that race?
Thoroughly good racing anyway, cheers guys thumbup

@CC - Best solution when that's happening is switch it to a non-contact race. Still means that the best drivers win, we usually have a rule we set it to one vehicle, customs off, and we use it for Time Trial practice and the fastest lap is the 'moral victor'. Also works great for discovering cars that we don't use very much.

@scarble - I think you must have been! I thought you were just driving really well in a stock light blue one, guess I was wrong. The 'No Exemplars' rule kinda hurts all of us I suppose!

No one objected when I said I was using my Cognoscenti paperbag
Pity, I felt I drove well in that race too, in the zone and stuff. Probably helps I didn't have to worry about anyone 'slipstreaming' me wink

Was just in a race with a bloke called Kushantrax39 who was in the KILL crew, and he had a top on with the PH crew logo. Have they nicked our logo or is this bloke also in PH crew? I don't see him on the wiki...strange

There is a known crew logo bug. When I play races with my mate who is in the GOON clan, his logo appears on my chest instead of the PH one.

Anyone else having problems getting online?
It starts loading and then the music just stops and it sits there for ever, but hasn't frozen because I can still use the PS button etc

Had something like that last night in a playlist - everyone else was OK but my screen stayed black and the loading symbol just kept turning. I could still hear everyone on the headset and use the PS button.

When I turned it off and on again, it wouldn't let me load up online at first; said the Rockstar server was unavailable and it couldn't access my character info.
