The all-purpose GTAV Online thread

[Baddar]

We have plenty. As long as we can get 3/4 on each time, that will suffice.

[Dan]

So how do you guys feel about the possibility of micro-transactions?

[9 to 5]

I dunno, The General might have some thoughts on that.

Don't care. Won't be using them myself. If people want to pay real money to make their GTA penis bigger, that's up to them.

I can't see them unbalancing their game by having a deathmatch or Cops n Crooks match suddenly go lopsided when little Billy uses his Dad's credit card to add 5 million GTA dollars and buy a tank. Hopefully, if they are in, it'll be for cosmetic shit like clothes or wallpaper for your pad.

Though, I suppose when you look at the fact they've already had revenues of like $1b in the space of 1 week, it does seem a bit cheeky to ask for more but maybe it'll help fund continued support with new maps, skins, weapons etc. A bit like Mass Effect 3 I suppose.

I'm on PS3!

I'm pizzamonkey4 on PSN, intergalacticz on Social Club.

Oh also somebody should probably send me a headset or something before I ruin all the missions being unable to communicate >_>

[Baddar]

I figured we could use Skype on our phones. Surely you have earphones?

Oh, when I wanted to use Skype you were all :/ but now it's suddenly a good idea.

[9 to 5]

lol, phones to play online.

[Baddar]

Indeed it is.

My phone being able to process Skype

[Baddar]

True. Stupid 32/10's.

I've got a headset anyway, so can use whatever.

[LL!]

Just get a cheap Bluetooth ear thing.

[Nerf]

WAIT WAIT WAIT I DIDN'T SELL MY MW3 HEADSET LIKE I INTENDED

[Baddar]

All is good.

What time does the online start next Tuesday, anyway? I can play from about 12pm if it's available that early.

[Chris2K]

I should probably mention that due to my situation at home I cannot engage in anything that involves speaking. My mum is really sick and I can't do anything that might wake her up when she's sleeping, including phonecalls etc. which I have to do outside. Sorry .

[probablyoliver]

So as I previously mentioned I've gone into GTA completely dark, I'd not heard, read or seen anything to do with the game before I started playing (which was a decisively awesome decision because holy shit this game is wonderful) which means I don't actually know anything about online. I've overheard people say it's more MMO based then the free roam chaos of IV, is that true? Is there some kind of story to it or what?

[ZJ Penn]

I think it actually has missions and stuff this year (500+?) and you can level your character.

Surely there'll be the standard deathmatch stuff too.

[Ruki]

I just want cops and crooks.
