I heard some really awful rumors that Rockstar is going to be using some DRM scheme on the PC version, which will apparently make mods impossible.

Holy crap, thats a blast from the past. It's been awhile @CamryFan. 👍

Haha I suppose it has been lol. I still lurk here from time to time but aren't always active (obviously :p)

Be awhile before I get to check out the returning players content as I'll be holding out for the PC release.
 
So if cars don't transfer, I might sell off all my security Adders on my second character before transferring (If I get a Next Gen console and GTA:V)

Cars don't transfer? So what does? Just your character, level and money then? Also, I wonder if you transfer your character, can you upgrade their looks with the new editor?
 
To be fair, I don't use them ever, so it's not like I'd miss them :lol:. I'd wait and see before transferring to see if cars transfer definitely.
 
I'm so sorry I bailed on all the guys I was playing with. Something came up and I had to leave. That police chase in the Police Riot around the map was so much fun.

First, we were attacking some random level-eleven player that kept getting way too close to us, so we blasted them away with LMGs and sniper rifles. Then, we got the Police Riot and chaos ensued. We went all the way across the map and had five stars at one point. @leeislee jumped on the side, but died within twenty seconds because of the police. I couldn't go back to get him, so we went to the airport. Did a few laps on the runways with police tailing us, then tried to get a Titan. It refused to spawn, and when it finally did, some prick RPG'd our riot van, killing all of us. Then, it was a firefight against that player. Catching a break in the action, we made it into the Titan. I thought all three of us got in, but I noticed we left someone behind at the hangar as we were approaching the green suspension bridge. I turned around and tried to kamikaze the same prick from before, now in an Annihilator. Surprisingly, he actually shot me down when I was coming head-on at him. I forget the next few minutes, but we were later behind the stadium and "that prick" no longer had any helicopters. I was riding co-pilot in a Buzzard and attempted to kill that guy with my AP Pistol. That didn't work, but I eventually got a kill with a missile, using the camera on the Buzzard. I then heard the lock-on noise, and panick jumped out. I landed safely and saw a P-996 Lazer attacking the Buzzard. I attempted to shoot him down with my Heavy Sniper, but he died (I think he got shot down by the Buzzard's missile). I left a few minutes later. Once again, I'm sorry I left so suddenly.

I was an embarrassment!

It wasn't really your fault. When you arrived, cops literally appeared out of nowhere. Before, no one was there. I tried to get past a roadblock without letting you get hurt. I was going to pass it on the left side of the highway, but I realized that would leave you prone to gunfire from the roadblock. Then, I decided to go right. If I hit a cop car too hard, I could potentially flip the Police Riot, knocking you off and you'd end up getting killed. There was also a telephone pole, that could knock you off if I went too far to the right. I guess I should have turned around so you would face the mountains of Chumash, away from the gunfire of the Police Mavericks and FIB Grangers that would appear in the oncoming lane.

That was so much fun, sadly that wasn't me that got that guy in the Lazer, but he crashed himself. :lol:

When @leeislee got onto the side, I wasn't sure if you guys could hear me, but I was saying things like 'you got balls my friend, to grab onto, not get into the Riot on a 5 star'.

Also the other guy we were playing with was @superstreet556 :)

I had voice chat set to "Crew and Friends," yet I couldn't hear you. I could hear just about every idiot that joined the lobby during the pursuit, and none of those people are in this crew or on my friends list. This bug is so annoying. Even when you set "voice chat" to no one, you STILL hear people, forcing you to manually mute everyone. This can be dangerous in a situation like a police chase.

Ah, that explains it.
 
Everything transfers.
The adders are on my other character, which I have no plan on transferring, so I may as well sell them, get the cash and then transfer w/ all my cars plus a bonus 12 million for both my current gen and my last gen character :lol:.
 
So I lost $8,000 fighting more than half of the lobby. It was the most fun I've ever had playing this game. People got in Buzzards, shots rang out from the rooftops, people went kamikazi on each other, and snipers shot me and the planes down. Unfortunately, they only concentrated on me, but I managed to get on a parking roof. After the number of people decreased, I escaped the area and was met by another Buzzard chasing me, piloted by my rival in the battle. He shot my heli down and I got another. Then, I went to Fort Zancudo and got a LAZER, but when I reached the airport, I was met by police and I shot down a helicopter and then I crashed into it :lol: fail. But that's my story. Edit: Played a deathmatch and won 28-27, it was a buzzerbeater.

The Hardcore DRM System is true for PC, but it may only apply for Online. Also, the Heists DLC is near. There was an interesting leak yesterday and it was about a new interior in high end apartments that's heavily involved with planning out heists. There's also a possibility of using your music in your apartment through the XMB. Although it should be taken with a grain of salt because the Hi Fi speakers set around the TV might not be for that at all. Nor can all of the new interior items will be guaranteed. If there is such an update, expect it in the next 2-4 weeks or less.

Heists to join new generation release? Its a possibility...

Also, that XMB stereo would be awesome. :D
 
So with next gen coming out, can I finally be able to completely disable notifications in GTA O? I'm tired of receiving notifications from random players.

Total carnage next to Fort Zancudo (right near the dirt ramp which you can use to fly into the base). Two dudes pulled miniguns and were killing everyone. We must have been around 6 players. I could barely defend myself, given I'm rank 44 and I don't have access to the stronger weapons. One thing that particularly pissed me was that it was impossible to kill one of the guys in the minigun. I shot at him with a sniper around 5 times and he just kept shooting at me. He wouldn't die at all.
 
There's no pride in just running and gunning.

Creative kills is where it's at. The last time I played, I did a Birgirpall car bomb tactic at a bounty target.

BEEP BEP.
 
So 2 guys tried to sticky my Zion out of nowhere. I killed them before they could blow it up, and proceeded to destroy them both. I think I killed each of them about 8 times, and they killed me (combined) a grand total of 3 times. Then they left. And I don't even feel bad about it. :lol:
 
I just tried to pick up a player with my Tailgater on the beach, but he is not there. So I left my car with him, and decided to take a spin in the ferris wheel.
