The all-purpose GTAV Online thread

[9 to 5]

Well, kill somebody, jeez.

[Benji]

Do you think I murder Ellis just for the fun of it? That's just an added perk.

Awesomesauce on the solo racers getting cash. That was my preferred way of leveling up on the 360, so now I can make some progress towards a new house between racing, the odd mission, and Gallivanter Baller chopping

Edit: Think I unintentionally created Morgan Webb as my PS3 character. Huh.

Ah well. Only one rule: hit on her, get shot

[Monkey D. Lars]

I want to rob banks

[9 to 5]

I want you to play again so I can kick your head in.

[LL!]

I want to rob banks with Midget, but it'll never happen now.

[King Ellis]

I had kinda wondered if your character would carry over to PS3 but I guess from what you're saying, it doesn't.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Because I voted for Jimmy? You poor winner

[9 to 5]

No no, I am just violent!

[Monkey D. Lars]

I must confess Niner, I do miss hitting you with my faithfull Golf Club.

[Meacon Keaton]

Traded my copy in. My 360 is almost dead anyway. Figured I'd get the most value I could for it.

[LL!]

Damn, Meacon. Damn.

[Meacon Keaton]

I would have kept it if I could actually sit down and play for a few hours. But I can't. And my 360 is beginning to freeze while playing other games too. So I'm going to trade it in before it dies, after Christmas. Last year, I traded in my PS3 after Christmas at Gamestop and they were doing a deal where you got 50% extra on your trade-ins. So instead of $120, I traded my PS3 in for $180. I'm hoping they have something like that again this year.

Characters do not carry over, which I expected. PS3 land is mighty lonely during the day, but that's fine, part of the allure for GTAV was that I had fun soloing as well as with a group of crazies.

Thanks to the Social Club, though, I remain with the EWB Hitmen.

FYI: solo races have gone from giving you full RP and no money to a pittance of both. There were single lap races where I made $73. In a game where most anything you truly want costs upwards of $1m, it feels pointless.

LL: When I unlock it, I'm going to buy the Dark Ape Mask and rob all the stores in your honor.

[Fudge]

I wish they'd fix the mechanic so he actually came to you, rather than leaving you waiting two minutes before calling you back and saying he can't do it. What the fuck am I paying the useless twat for?

Look up at the sky and run around in circles. He's never not showed up for me since I started doing that.

I still kill the useless fucker every time though.

[munky]

Kill him a few times, and pick up the case he drops and you offset the cost of his service in the first place.

It's the fiscally responsible thing to do!

Question: doing solo races online contributes towards my ability to upgrade my vehicles, correct?

If you are talking about "Win 20 races with this type of car to unlock this item" I am 90% certain that it does.

Also, my hair issues have officially gotten strange.....

This is now what happens when I pick the "Close Shave" hairstyle, which is meant to be totally bald....

If that weren't bad enough......I can't get rid of it by choosing another style either......

Strangest of all, is that when I look in the mirror at the barber shop, it shows me totally bald!!

I don't think so. I could be wrong, but I've only gotten wins by actual wins against somebody. Thus, only unlocking mods when I get wins.
