Quote from Matrixi :Karin Intruder, it was just driving around in the city.

That's quite a common car, but it's pretty good, if I remember correctly it also has quite a nice sounding engine.

EDIT: Actually mistook that car for another one I've seen lots, so maybe it is rarer than I thought. Anyway, here's some new pics...

You can just do the Titan mission, wait for the second phase when you get in the plane, kill the mercs, take the jeeps, put them in your garage and then go back to finish the mission.

Quote from Mustafur :Is that supposed to be rare online, I've seen those A6 look alikes quite a few times.

It's pretty rare, I've only seen it spawn at the Golf Club, Airport or during Simeon missions. It's rare enough to have a whole thread dedicated to finding it on the GTA Forums. I don't think it's as rare as the Rat Loader but it's more popular.

It took a few hours, but me and my mates managed to find 3 of these, one for each of us...



...I've upgraded mine now, but the Rockstar stuff is down so I can't take an up to date picture of it.

Quote from troy :Moto2 Sepang start crash: http://youtu.be/EvYCL5p60hQ

Looks like everybody got out okish.

They were so lucky to walk away from that, horrible crash, had my hands on my head when I saw the bike sliding across the track in front of the other riders.

Quote from Rappa Z :The bounties are too easy to handle, honestly. I just go about my robbery business, but keep checking the map to see if anyone is heading my way. If I suspect someone is, I find a nice quiet corner with a good amount of cover. Then just sit there, wait for them to come around the corner and blast them (a lot of idiots will drive right up in cars, making easy kills). Wash rinse and repeat for 48 minutes.

The only trouble I've had is from laggy people abusing passive mode. Other than that nobody has really challenged me on a bounty above 5k (the only ones I bother trying to stay alive for). As for hunting bounties, I just do a drive by sticky bomb or snipe them, depending on the amount. I usually kill them at least one more time just to make sure they get the point and don't come after me for revenge, and I shoot out the tyres on any vehicle they might have been using.

EDIT: That car survived 3 trips through Trevor country, and a few near misses from two helicopters. I also tried to jump onto a train at one point but missed and almost got killed by a guy on a bike. It would have been a great show for anyone spectating at the time.

Took these pictures while evading useless bounty hunters online.




...and after 50 minutes of running with a 9k bounty on my head, my car is looking a little tired. Luckily I had armour and bulletproof tyres.

That's my next apartment sorted then, should have 500k left over for vehicle upgrades too.

Quote from Crashgate3 :I've never worked out why it's pronounced 'eye-key-a'. Surely, being Swedish, it should be 'ik-ay-a'?

That's how they pronounce it in most of the world.

Quote from Mustafur :Or if you want to get back at someone shoot there tyres and windows out and.if you can drive the car to a random.location, that will make them more butthurt then a call to.the insurance company.

I do that to people who come after me when I have a bounty. Usually if I get a 5k bounty or above I try and last the day to get the money, and go to a remote location. When someone drives out to get me, I kill them then wreck their vehicle, then make my escape leaving them stranded.

I think there should be an exception for friends or crew members. I've been in a situation where my friends were lobbing sticky bombs in the road while they were passengers in my car, they were trolling me and I didn't want the car I just bought to be destroyed. So I went into my quick menu and made it so nobody is allowed in my car, then I stopped the car and it forced everyone out, which meant they had to walk. So I dealt with that in my own way, because they are my friends and not some random stranger.

But you guys really should have used stolen vehicles, you only get bad sport ratings for blowing up vehicles with trackers, and if you blow up an insured vehicle you normally have to pay the premium to get it repaired. I didn't know it banned you though, I thought it just put you in lobbies with other bad sports and gave you a pretty looking dunce cap.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :Yes. Steal and buy insurance and it's yours.

Unless you want a really high end car, you can't upgrade or insure those unless you own them.

Quote from shaun463 :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHOBlUA2am8

Looks ridiculous, and never works, but it's there :P.

I remember now, when they first launched it you could win a free kick every single time if you got the timing correct. But that was back when you could score a goal by kicking the ball directly through the goalkeepers chest.

Quote from Specht77 :Obviously you are just comparing console - console shitty graphics, now compare GTA IV on PC with this GTA V crap

Those screenshots look like GTA IV PC version to me, the graphics were never that crisp on the console.

Sunset from GTA V...



Also want to mention a detail that some people might have missed. You can shoot the fuel tanks on most vehicles, and after a short time they will run out of fuel and stop working. Cool feature, but do the same on the hybrid car and it doesn't stop working, it keeps on going, I'm not sure if it runs out of fuel eventually because I didn't bother driving it for that long. Instead I wondered if it would be more explosive due to the batteries in the car, and as it turns out they are much more explosive than normal vehicles.

Quote from DieKolkrabe :I only just now twigged you can ride around in the back of vans. It was a lighbulb moment when I hit triangle and sat in the back. Wow

Sidenote, If anyone knows where I can buy unused collector's edition codes.....yeah, I sorta want the stuff

I might be about to blow your mind...you can hang off the side of some SUV's, just like the FIB do. Good luck finding unused collectors edition codes, you can have my stupid hat and the bag that broke the first time I used it though.

Quote from shaun463 :Enjoyed PES 2013, but to be fair, I was totally bored to death with FIFA 13. Diving is totally pointless, but hilarious for the first 5 minutes, shooting is very predictable.

What diving?

I've got a Level 30 character, with a high end apartment in the middle of the city. Needless to say I'm going nowhere near the game until they fix the latest problems. Two of my friends have now lost apartments and characters.

Quote from Boris Lozac :How can anyone play this, baffling.. I'm waiting for "insert coin" to pop up, so arcadey, fast, overdone animations, cpu is doing tricks all the time like everyone's Neimar. No weight to it, inertia, feeling, and that camera movement, man that camera movement..

Doesn't seem like you've played the game, the new features this year actually added inertia and weight to the players. It's by far the best simulation of a football game, years ahead of PES.

I understand server issues, but my issue is being caused by a barrier they put up, which has nothing to do with the number of people online. I described it to a friend as it being like a youtube advert freezing, one you can't skip, and that plays every single time you try to watch the video. It has no need to be there, it's easily avoided, and it's preventing me from getting at the content.

This is how simple the solution is...

Have you played GTA before?

A) Yes
B) No

I choose A

okay, you don't need a tutorial, have fun.

Solved.

Well that looks slightly suspicious.

It won't be illegal outright, it will fall into a grey area which the teams had an understanding on. They will then ask for clarification, it will be banned, RBR will remove it and they will still have the fastest car and Vettel will still win the title. If you've got Newey on your side, then you have more sleeves, bigger sleeves, and better stuff to hide up them than any other team.

I'm so angry right now, that it's hard for me to concentrate on typing this properly, so forgive me if it's hard to read or follow.

I've spent nearly 50 hours playing the single player for this game, I've spent more time playing as my least favourite character than most of my friends have spent playing the entire game. I have uncovered every inch of the map, driven on every road, driven every vehicle, flown every aircraft, bought, upgraded and used every single weapon. I can navigate the map without using my radar or GPS. I have two saves both at 75% complete, and I've taken more pictures with Snapmatic than I've taken on any camera in the last 10 years of my life. It's safe to assume I know how to play the game.

So why the **** do I have to play an unskippable tutorial showing me how to race a car? Even the first driving mission in the single player was skippable, and that one didn't assume you had been teleported in from another universe in which GTA didn't ****ing exist. I would tolerate this pointless and idiotic tutorial if GTA Online was a standalone release, or maybe if it had been available the day the game shipped, instead we've had two weeks to get used to the mechanics of the game. Push the go button to go, push the stop button to stop, and use the wiggly stick thingy to change direction. It's not rocket science is it?

All of that would have been completely irrelevant and dismissed as a mild inconvenience, if the tutorial had worked, if all I had to do was sit through it once and never see it or think about it again. But what actually happened is that the tutorial can't be completed, for some reason, my Collectors Edition of the game does not allow me to progress past the tutorial. I've tried everything, for 8 hours on and off, and it fails at the same two places every single time. I can connect to the GTA Online servers, I can see my friends happily playing their standard editions and inviting me into their games, but I am refused access to the core function of the game because a bug is preventing me from completing something that should never had been in the game in the first place.

The real slap in the face is that I've spent £100 on the Collectors Edition, because I love the GTA series, I love Rockstar, and I wanted to go the extra mile to get something special and support one of my favourite developers. That decision, which I made for those reasons, has resulted in a day of frustration and anger, while watching people enjoying GTA Online who didn't support Rockstar that way, who don't care as much, who haven't spent as much time or money as I have.

The response from Rockstar is "we're working on it", I'm sure they will hush up the fact that this problem is mainly affecting Collectors Editions, and I will probably forget all about this once they fix it. But for now I am furious.
