The all-purpose GTAV Online thread

How long did you wait in the parking lot, GoGo?

I honestly don't even know. I loaded it and then I started watching The Bridge and when I paused it and checked the race had started eighteen seconds prior.

Do you get anything special for placing high in the race? I might just leave it going in the background and not even bother trying to race if it's just points to rank up or something.

it's just money you win, if you bet some on it.

I didn't race against anyone except Lamar and I still lost...

I wasn't able to get online at all today, either. Kinda sucked... but it means I can catch up Breaking Bad!

Were you in solo session or just regular online?

I'm still getting nothing.

Finally got to the race. All that time just to race Lamar. Didn't finish as I noticed it was happening two minutes in. Now with two randoms for that meeting thing.

Welcome to the Secret Winners Club, Vitamin E.

It'll feel good if I'm not stuck at the overworld thing now after finishing that drug thing

EDIT: Still on the overworld view, but I heard the sound of your character dying and the view is now a lot dimmer. No idea what the fuck that's about.

I have that fear where I don't want to turn it off just in case I'm the next person that gets loaded into a race.

Currently trying to get into a session for Last Team Standing at Cypress Flats. Is that the end of the online tutorial?

EDIT: Nevermind. Got booted from online because the host left or something. Tried going back into Online and I got disconnected from Live. Giving up for tonight.

I didn't try tonight, but I shall tomorrow after work!

[probablyoliver]

Tried a few times but couldn't get in at all. I'll try again this evening I imagine. It's annoying me how annoyed I'm getting at it, I should show more patience to our Rockstar masters.

[Benji]

Genuine question - can someone explain to me why they didn't just release online the same day as the game? It would've lowered the load on the servers significantly and allowed for people who were struggling to just play the story.

[ZJ Penn]

Publicity probably. Or to get an idea of how many people might be playing online. Not that it's helped.

Anyhow, spent last night robbing stores with LL, Gazz and Larz till the early hours, now I'm a sleep deprived zombie. It was totally worth it.

[MDK]

They probably needed two weeks to make sure they had enough servers...

Anyway, you lot that can't get online, maybe you should stop clogging up this thread and use the other thread

[probablyoliver]

But I don't want spoilers!

[Dan]

Mine is working now

[Monkey D. Lars]

Hooray for Dan! Wanna rob some stores?

You lose money way to fast though.

[Baddar]

Baddarina just told me she's online. (PS3)

[Baddar]

Running well too, apparently.

This is the thread for people who can't get onto GTA: Online :@
