***Official GTAV PC Thread*** [Important warning updated in the OP]

I can see myself getting another 1-2 weeks of fun from the MP side of things and that will be all I reckon.

R* really need to fix the SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW loading times and general niggles like being booted to a different lobby after races are over etc. I am willing to put up with it for now as the MP is fun but.... once that fun wears off then I CBA putting up with these issues.

I knew that we would get bored of the MP pretty quickly but I have certainly had my £20 worth of fun.

Online FPS games like bf 4/HL will always have way more longevity in them than these sort of MP games.
 
agree Nexus.

Someone last night, cant remember who it was now, said there is a way to remain in the same lobby as the host of the games...think its on Online Settings tab, something like remain with host or something.

Ooh, will check that out - my biggest issue is the session switching you have to do.
 
Yeah I will see what deals are on at the offy near work at lunchtime.

Don't worry about not being the "best" player, we play for fun.

Cider isn't a gaming drink, it's clearly all about the southern comfort and irn bru.

Playing for fun > playing for serious though.

Anyone going to be up for some heists tonight? I think I have to host the prison one so I can start to host the others :D

Absolutely up for some heists, currently doing the prep work for Humane Labs (the one after prison) and its tiresome with randoms and no voice comms
 
Well I'll be around tonight after chores and other general housework, so I'll hop on TS or something around 7ish and start to host the prison break and then move on if people are keen!
 
First week day off in a long long time, the suns gone in so its GTA. However nobody is on TS and plus GTA online keeps 'timing out' :(
 
doesnt sound like much fun to me, one sided game mode equals fun? I wonder what we'd do with a one sided OP mess of a game mode in BF4?

hmmmmmmmmm, I'm just of the opinion that MP really isn't hitting the spot for me, the game modes just seem to have no thought put into them. Quantity over quality it would appear, still willing to give it a go though if you say it's fun, cant be any worse than some of the other modes.

I agree Tony. Was keen to also play some BF4 this weekend.
 
I know I'm a bit late to the party, but my copy just arrived today and is now installing :)
Luckily mine happens to come with the bonus $1,000,000 split between online and single player, what would you recommend buying first to help get more?
 
Best house you can afford then I would buy the armored car as it makes the missions a lot easier and gives you some protection from other players online.
 
hmm, that does seem random. whenever i have teamviewer running my game starts windowed.

im sure you can add commands to a text file somewhere ill see if i can dig out where.
