I played golf with @Ishikawa M and @TheJess656 yesterday.

I HATED IT. WORST THING EVER.

I claim BS on that game we played still.

I feel the same way. I had so much fun with hacked money, despite feeling bad at first.

Because you're not spending the rest of time grinding, which isn't fun. I had gotten hacked money before (given, I didn't do absolutely nothing) and... at first I got everything I wanted but became bored of the game. It didn't matter because at the time, you could only do so much with millions of dollars as there's a limit to things. But, I'd rather have hacked money than grind and have the game pleasure turning sour doing the same thing over and over again. Rockstar needs to get that people aren't going to grind all day every day and that most people aren't going to buy microtransations.

I didn't like having hacked money, but I still bought everything I wanted with it. We wouldn't have this problem of people hacking money/finding loopholes if Rockstar made things actually affordable, or increased the pay in jobs.

- Or released heists with a good payout.

This. You can blow through thousands of dollars just buying like 3 or 4 upgrades on your car.

- Or released heists with a good payout.

I doubt they'll make it a good payout. I bet they're going to try and make the pay the amount only 10% better after calculating the amount of bullets you wasted.

 

[Katiegan]

I'm hoping heists do have good payouts, depending on where you hit and how you do it. 'Big scores' would be very useful online.

That's just because you guys were bad at it.

Shaddap.
I didn't even know how to swing.

I'd like it too... but knowing Rockstar, we probably won't get more than $30K for even the best heist.

 

[Jet Badger]

Sorry @GT_johan and @Ecomine. The game is broken and it froze so at 1am I'm going to bed. Such a shame to let that tank scrub survive though.

 

[gtuned]

I was gonna help with that too, but had to go mid way through failing to get a jet.

Rockstar already made a billion flippin' dollars the first week of releasing the game. They don't need anymore cash through microtransactions. Why is it that so few developers realize microtransactions are not good?

Preach!

I have purchased a Shark Card. *Shame*

But I paid with MS points I got from using Bing.com.

*Grumbles*

At least it wasn't your money. How much money (In USD) was the shark card equivalent to (MS Points are weird), and how much money did you get in-game?

 

[Ken]

A $9.99 card (800 MS points) gave me $500,000 in game. Sad, as that was a Jester and a few add-ons for it.

The $8 million card, is $99.99 USD or 8000 MS points.

Well, I hope the Jester works for you. 👍

It's ridiculous when companies can charge people $100 on consoles for in-game cash, but it's sickening when companies can charge people $100 on phones for in-game cash.

 

[Ken]

The Jester is great. Outside of my choppers, its my favorite vechile in game.

It came down to MS points or a $5 gift card to Burger King. Since food is my enemy, I choose the points. I had redeem my bing points enough that I had $15 in my Xbox account. I checked over everything else before I decided to use the points on GTA Online. Even though they were free, I still didn't want to give into micro transactions. Just got tired of waiting to use them. Virtual cash burnt a hole in my virtual pocket.

I hear that one of the upgrades puts a cover over the rear window (I believe it's louvers) which is actually bulletproof. I'd say that would be pretty effective at running away from gun-toting pursuers or police.

 

[Ken]

Or idiots trying to kill you online because "fun".

Although, I didn't know they were bullet proof. I do die less in that car. I thought it was because of my superior "run away" skills.

 

[Dan]

Well, if you're doing ricer flybys in a chrome Adder, it's justifiable for them to unload a few clips (or magazines, depending on the gun) into your car.

 

[Ken]

Granted. But I generally keep to myself. Make a few runs to ammu-nation and the daily drive to the store for Pisswasser.

I so wish I had a copy of this game on PS3 so I could play with respectable people in the crew.

To be fair they also need money to run the servers for a lot of their games, they're still making new features and assets for GTA Online, they'd be insane if they weren't making the PC version as we speak...

Well, they've made monumentally bad decisions with GTAO, so there is a chance they might not make it for PC, but if they are making it as we speak, why can't they just come out and say "We are currently developing a PC port of GTA V" but state they don't have a specific release date. It's better than leaving PC gamers in the dark, even though it doesn't affect me, since I don't play on PC. The only way it would affect me is it would delay mod videos.

I'm mostly thinking that they'd be crazy to not have a PC version because it's on last-gen consoles. I don't know though, I don't work at R*.

I read about a rumor that R* is making a PC version coming out next year. I also heard about jetpacks mat show up after reading codes from the latest update.

And GT6 is no better. They think they can get away charging the price of a brand new game, but who in their right mind would do that?

A $9.99 card (800 MS points) gave me $500,000 in game. Sad, as that was a Jester and a few add-ons for it.

And I do not know how to calculate MS Points. It's really weird compared to PSN money.

 

[E28]

Just played a death match with some Rank 500 Godmode hacker 🤬. And then I get a warning bout leaving jobs early making me a bad sport.

The bad sport system is rubbish anyway. And how didn't R* catch him but they can catch the other hackers?

 

[Katiegan]

I was online the other day and there was a guy in there at rank 999. I don't understand why anybody would want to be any higher than 120, there's nothing left to unlock after that.

 

[Dean]

To be able to show off I expect.

Just goes to show how broken the game is. You're punished for leaving a deathmatch early (Way to screw over players with poor connections), while a hacker walks free because he can avoid getting banned or un-ban himself.

 

[Ken]

I know that MS points are going the way of the dodo. My account shows in dollars. I think changing it over in games from MS points to cash wasn't a high priority.

EDIT: Does anybody know how to get a Bagger online. I have requested enough Simeon missions that it should have spawned by now. I tried researching online. I had enough YouTube videos shoved down my throat to last me a while. I have a Daemon and a Nemesis, and it doesn't spawn while driving those. Getting frustrated.
