Anyways, is there any point in crews for GTA Online? All or most of them just seem like all they wanna do is just run around kill each other. I honestly don't see any of them doing or wanting to help other crew members with missions to rank up. Killing each other is okay at times but not EVERYDAY all the TIME! tis confusing and just wondering. 

 

 

The only reason we created a crew is because I was in a band together with the friends I play with, and it's funny being able to have our old logo in our clothes and cars. Kind of a nostalgic thing, I have no interest in getting in a crew with random people.

 

Game wise other than adding another layer of friend filtering it seems pointless. I don't think many people actually care about crew rankings.

 

 

PSN - If anyone here can also, give me a hand on boosting my strength that would be great...I've asked 2 people and get "no response or no ty" which it is worth having it 100% makes a difference when getting shot or w/e. It was from a video on YT that it requires 2 people, one sits in a car while the other kicks the **** out of it. I tried before I found the video and it didn't budge. Would appreciate it and will return the favor as well! just add me on PSN

 

 

In single player just kicking a car seems to work. It probably takes a lot of time because I tried for a while and got nothing but I saw a friend getting a +something in strenght while kicking a car with Michael (he probably was about to get the boost because of whatever he had been doing before).

 

Maybe it doesn't work online, I don't know, but the other stats seem to be boosted the same way as offline.

PS3 or 360? Shouldn't be any problems, but you can only do your games saves, game data. Also you could just use a thumb drive.

 

 

Hi

 

It's PS3. As long as I keep my saved game data that's all I care about, but I believe using the Data Transfer Utility basically moves everything from one PS3 to another.

 

Do you know if I need to create the profile and sign on the new PS3 before doing the transfer? Would I need to re-install the new game on the new PS3?

 

I also have a question surrounding garages & hangars in game. If I put a stolen vehicle in my garage or hangar, does it work like the character vehicle in that it will always be there, or if I take it out and lose it, is that it?

 

What about vehicles I buy, are they permanent?

It does, but you have to have a friend in the car.

 

As far as crews, you get bonus RP for completing missions (or races, or whatever) with crew members, I think up to 40% more (more crew = more RP).  You can also set chat to be only among crew or friends or both, instead of with everyone.

just sign in as you normally would, everything offline will still be there. Online your data is saved via cloud, if it's just game saves then I wouldn't worry about moving everything just your game saves and data for the games which you will be as NASA would say "houston we have landed"

What happened to all the people that was playing GTA online after patch 1.03 from October 3rd - 7th? lots of people was on playing and now, seems like it's dropped TONS after that. Did they ban a bunch of people or something? Also, patch 1.04 no 500k we have to wait until next week to get it from R :star:

My crew is over 150 strong and most of the team we don't kill each other, we either team up in free roam and kill other players or do survival matches or jobs. My crew is from another forum, we're pretty tight knit over there.  I'm still waiting on that 500k.

I'd join it but idk the crew name. Right now I'm riding around on the train...tried to steal it after I shot the guy in the face but it won't let me and it won't STOP! someone tried to whack me on it, but I shot them in the face @ point blank too

Anyone still enjoying online.

I'm about ready to give up.

If it isn't idiots just shooting everything that moves in free roam it is idiots ruining races by either driving backwards or smashing other people off the track. Great thing is they seem to drive off fine with no loss of speed.

 

I read about all these great moments people are having but i have yet to even really break a smile while playing it.

 

I think GTA Online has potential but at the moment you need a group of friends to play with.

So, while trying to go around and get the collectibles, my helicopter ran out of gas.

 

Gameplay uncanny valley.

They run out of gas?!

I knew cars could, if you shoot the gas tank and it leaks....

 

But I just flew the helicopter around picking up paper scraps and UFO pieces.  Had a clean landing, clean take off, and all of a sudden the engine started cutting out and it gave me the "you'd better jump cuz this thing's about to drop out of the sky" fast beep.   So I got high enough to parachute, and jumped out.

I feel like I remember it doing so, but then I am thinking perhaps it is just something I always felt it should do, so if people can clarify if I am imagining at one point it did it or not...

 

Has any GTA ever implemented turn signals on the cars?

I know it would be truly irrelevant to do so, but just think it would be funny if it let you use your signal, and one step further, amazing if you used it, and the other traffic actually acted accordingly (similar to how if you beep the horn, some cars do move out of the way).

Not that I know of.  I do remember that The Getaway used turn signals to let you know where you were supposed to be going (especially since GPS wasn't widely used at the time).

gta iv has turn signals but only the npc's i've noticed uses them...even though they still can't drive properly. I tried playing it the other night with a friend and the controls are really stiff compared to GTA V. Right now I'm taking a break until later and getting my SWTOR update for now.

For 360 what is the quick action button? You can have it wave, salute, bird. I select what I want but can't make it do it.

X? I don't know I'm just guessing. If I'm right whoo hoo if not, oh well.

 

GTA Online time...might kamikaze some ppl in free roam. Also, you can block in NPC's cars and get your strength up that way. Just make sure they cannot get out of the car or move (don't shoot them in the face or it won't work)

    • Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
