Post what you're doing in GTA Online.

I always used to hear about people going for Franklin's Buffalo. It was always like "Hey I really want (story mode vehicle X). I'll do anything for it, I'll trade you Franklin's Buffalo" and the other person would inevitably say "Nah, I already have Franklin's Buffalo".

I honestly don't remember anything special about it. Granted, my hearse drives like crap (as does that shitty 1930's gangster car that I paid a million bucks for) but at least they're extremely unique.

Frankln's Buffalo is pretty customizable and has a far bit of body mods, it can be made to look pretty sweet.

Buffalo's you just find hardly has any mods.    So if Franklin's car can be glitched into online, that'd be awesome.

I'll be on in a couple of days, Once I've finished Breaking Bad & Played 2K14 for a bit

[justinlynch3]

Will be looking forward to seeing you back around.

[justinlynch3]

Was a entertaining night last night. I still remember that race mike where I got into your slipstream was coming for a pass, you breaked for a turn and I slammed you sending your car flying off somewhere. lol that was unintentional but funny.

I also know a way to drive on top the hill in the Boat in the bay mission. Get up there you can use a sniper on the ai's.

[justinlynch3]

Oh man mike we been doing Method In Madness all wrong. Never mind Buzzards all we need is Entity. Make sure to always reverse towards ai's and they can't shoot you, piratically bullet proof rear end on those cars. Doing this was one of the easiest times I ever took the biker army out.

[miketheratguy]

I don't understand- you just attack all of the enemies in the two major areas by driving backwards? That keeps you safe the whole time?

[justinlynch3]

You must have a Entity cause the back is virtually bullet proofed. As long as you keep the back of that car pointed towards your enemies, it's extremely hard if not impossible for them to shoot you.

I've seen the same the being said on GF that you can't shoot though the back of that car and as long as your enemies is behind you, nothing short of blowing up the car will kill you.

You have to be careful of newly spawning enemies and new ones approaching cause you can be shot from the front or sides easily enough. But from what I seen so far, as long as enemies are behind you, the Entity keeps you rather safe.

Honestly I'm surprised R* has kept the car in cause this makes it kinda cheap to own. lol Then again they have tanks, so lol. It's not no tank, but probably cheapest possible car you can own. lol

[miketheratguy]

And at nearly $800,000 dollars that's kind of saying something.

I still don't really get how you can finish the mission that way though. I understand that it's hard to shoot through, I mean it's one of the reasons why that car has always been my favorite, I just don't understand how that mission could be played in such a way that it's not awkward (or impossible) to keep the enemies strictly behind you.

[justinlynch3]

Maybe I got lucky and pulled into a good spot. for first part I was up by the driveway across from the white truck. All the bikes that pulled in pulled in behind me though it's possible queenz may of killed some. Second part I couldn't test good cause I had to take off after a fleeing boat. I did kill a few bikes before going and while taking more repositioning it still seemed possible. I was killing guys until queenz grabbed the first coke pack and flew off.

I'm wondering how well this would work n single player? May be useful.

What the...have you seen this before?



After we split last night I started messing around in the offline game for a bit, not really doing much other than punching and killing people with Trevor. Before long I went to land a chopper near the Vinewood theater when for some reason I auto-targeted what I thought to be a random pedestrian. Getting out to investigate I was startled to see a zombie, with the option to approach him. I listened to him talk and he started sarcastically going on about how zombies are cool and no one's sick of them and they're this brilliant social satire. I then pressed the button to talk to him and Trevor actually had a little bit of dialogue about how the guy reminded him of a dead relative and how silly it is to eat brains when there are so many more tasty parts of the human body. The guy then admitted that he was just a lonely cosplayer who failed at life because he majored in philosophy rather than going to law school.

It was really weird, I've put like 200 hours into the game (more like 900 if you count the online game) and I've never seen this character before.

[justinlynch3]

That's new to me, never seen a zombie cosplayer before. Awesome find mike.

Yeah, I seen that about a month after getting the game, Thought It was a cool.

[miketheratguy]

That's bizarre, I've been at this game for like seven months and I've never seen this before last night. It makes me wonder what other neat little things are in the game that I might have missed.

[justinlynch3]

Hey mike what happened to you earlier tonight? My game froze up during Crystal Clear Out, I rebooted and messaged you probably 4 or 5 PSN messages including a invite and you never even so much as messaged me back. After fooling around for a moment PSN listed you as playing the offline game and since you wasn't answering anyway, I decided to log out. Just wondering why you went so quiet all of a sudden.

[miketheratguy]

I wonder if there wasn't some kind of error in the network last night or something. Or maybe just with GTA, which seems to get unsteady whenever they're preparing a major update. My game froze as well, once when playing with you and Queenz near the beginning and then again after playing offline mode for a couple of hours at the end of the night. In addition, I honestly didn't see any of your PSN messages- from my point of view you left before Crystal Clear Out (I thought it was because you'd died and didn't think I had a chance of making it, but even then I thought it was weird because you're normally not that impatient) and then I saw you go offline. I literally didn't hear anything back until like 2 hours later when I suddenly saw the message telling me that you'd went offline again. I thought "When did he ever come back on?" That's when I checked to see if you'd messaged me and I saw several messages and even an invite.

I don't understand it. I was in and out while playing because it was by myself and I was doing things like grabbing food or dealing with email, but I don't see how every single one of your messages could have come when I happened to be doing that. Then again sometimes when we play I happen to look back and see that you send me messages during or between missions that I didn't notice at the time, so I wonder if I occasionally get so focused on the game that I don't even notice them.

Could be a possibility and explain why I sometimes takes a while to respond to missed messages.

Later I've been bringing up the PSN menu's every so ofter between jobs to check for messages, especially if I'm chaty with someone and they suddenly go quiet.    It's like you can't fully rely on the notifications and keep tabs on messages yourself.

This is why sometimes say you write me a message, and then a job or 2 I respond.   It's likely caused I missed the notice or didn't get it, whatever the case is, and decided it was time to manually check my messages.    I say every half hour or even hourly just pop up the PSN menu between jobs and check your message box just to be sure.

[miketheratguy]

It's alright, I do the same thing. Sometimes I don't even respond to your messages because I didn't notice the popup, although there are also times when I just can't respond because I'm in the middle of something and then too much time has passed for a response from me to seem relevant anymore.

The message system is actually fairly slow and clunky and seems to always be affected by whether the game is loading or not. Plenty of times I have to sit there for fifteen seconds waiting for the message system to be "ready" and it stops lagging with my text or ignoring my input. The game has been kind of wonky again in general though, I froze at least 2 or 3 different times last night whereas I used to be able to go weeks without a freeze.

[justinlynch3]

Well maybe we'll get a update Tuesday. XD

Anyway I'll be on in about a hour, hour 1/2 if anyone will be around.

[miketheratguy]

Still no update. Bastards! They said spring, but May is considered summer by a lot of people. At least by Hollywood.

Then again the official weather people in their official weather towers say that summer doesn't start until mid June or something like that, but then they also say that winter doesn't start until like December 20th so screw that noise. I want my stupid update.
