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.

well 1.04 broke solo session online. just tried doing a job and 2 seconds mission failed! I actually hadn't had any problems with online before the new update.

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?!

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.

RIP Jimmy, you annoying piece of ****.

 

NOOOOOO! lol I've done that too, then felt bad so I ran him over in reverse instead :)

That's crazy

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).

Ahhhhhhh!!! I did play all of The Getaway's as well, so I must have been thinking of it. Thanks!!

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)

    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA 610.62 with support for Empulse and various fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more. Rockstart Games had plenty of GTA-related news this week. For one, the company gave GTA V players another free update. Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat.
