Well, first off, I got GTA V for $7 (Returned a bunch of games for credit.).

One of the parts of the game are "Heists", as two of the protagonists are bank robbers (and the third is in training.). The planning sessions, however, are quite interesting. As is the acquiring of equipment needed for the job. It certainly makes me think of Shadowrun.

I really wish my group planned things out that well!

One of the jobs involves a map from a local fast food joint! I certainly laughed at that!

So, who is up for a crew when the Online part of the game (Yes, GTA MMO comes with the game!) kicks off next month?

I haven't been able to dig in as much as I'd like, but I'm certainly enjoying it so far. I'm looking forward to multiplayer, yeah (it'll be cool to make my own dude and feel a bit more attached, instead of like I'm playing someone else's character).

Trevor always makes me think of 'Ray, Canadian and everything!

Posted by: Angelone Sep 22 2013, 09:40 PM

I have Trevor looking like a crazy crazy hillbilly. I really like the other two characters, but Trev doesn't do anything for me.

a dumpshock crew could be interesting. I agree about Trevor, I'm just playing through his parts to get back to Franklin and Micheal.

All you have to do is give me male pattern baldness, a meth habit, and get rid of my morals. I love him. Too many protagonists have gone the "Anti-Hero" type, and seemed somewhat hypocritical. Niko was done in a decent enough fashion, especially when he has his own murdering ways in Liberty City thrown in his face, but it is getting old. Trevor is nice because he is what he is, and refuses to let anyone dictate otherwise.I like the storyline of all three.

And, yes, a Dumpshock Crew would rock. Imagine the insane plans/jobs we'd end up doing.

So, who wants to crash Pißwasser stock?

Trevor is basically who we all were when playing GTA 1 - 3. He even has throwback rampage missions (and, come on, he's the proto hipster!)

Posted by: Angelone Sep 23 2013, 08:42 PM

I'm playing right now as Franklin and got a wanted star for gunning down someone who blocked me in traffic. When the cops got to me I swear one of them said "Be advised suspected is black" then my wanted level went up.

So, just like RL LA?

Posted by: X-Kalibur Sep 24 2013, 01:09 AM

Pretty much; speaking as someone who lives quite close to LA.

Posted by: Angelone Sep 24 2013, 01:31 AM

Trevor would flip, that's a proto-hipster's lifeblood.

Posted by: CanRay Sep 24 2013, 05:02 AM

Wouldn't that be Patriot, or Logger?

Posted by: Angelone Sep 24 2013, 06:20 PM

Keep seeing him drinking Pißwasser in game. You'd think it be a different beer but nope.

Posted by: CanRay Sep 24 2013, 06:26 PM

I guess the GTA-Verse never got into MicroBreweries.

Posted by: X-Kalibur Sep 24 2013, 07:10 PM

They don't have a PBR equivalent. But he's the proto-hipster, so the Budweiser knockoff is even more appropriate.

Posted by: CanRay Sep 24 2013, 07:13 PM

Mmmmmmmmmmm, Bavarian Virgin Urine!

Posted by: Angelone Sep 24 2013, 08:32 PM

That's a sipping beer not a chugging beer.

Posted by: Angelone Sep 25 2013, 11:49 PM

So I beat it. What choice you make at the end A, B, or C. I'm trying to avoid spoilers. Also my psyche report was pretty good wish I could find it again.

Posted by: Remnar Sep 26 2013, 05:55 PM

Does it recieve a good Dumpshock Approval Rating? I was considering picking it up for my PS3 since my computer went kablooey.

Sounds like it is a hit.

Posted by: CanRay Sep 26 2013, 06:00 PM

It is quite interesting, and the major complaint about GTA games has been dealt with: "That F***ING MISSION!"

You fail a mission too many times in frustration, the game will actually allow you to skip it.

My new favorite thing - skydiving with Trevor - without a parachute. He's so manly, he doesn't even need one.

Posted by: CanRay Sep 26 2013, 07:52 PM

Until he headbutts the planet.

Then again, I elbow dropped the planet and was able to walk away after giving it a warning...

Posted by: Angelone Sep 26 2013, 08:24 PM

It is definitely worth getting. The story is well done and the characters are very different.

Posted by: StealthSigma Sep 27 2013, 01:08 PM

I thought we already did that?

Posted by: CanRay Sep 27 2013, 02:37 PM

Sometimes it feels like all I have left are my morals...

Posted by: X-Kalibur Sep 27 2013, 08:22 PM

Without saying too much, Trevor can survive a sub-orbital impact on to any part of his body. Just think about it for a minute and you'll realize it. (used this to find his bounties and practically dive on top of them)

Posted by: CanRay Oct 1 2013, 06:22 PM

IT'S LIVE!

Well, on life support. You can make your character now. Interesting way to go about it.

Posted by: Critias Oct 1 2013, 09:37 PM

Their servers have been up and down all day, but for folks looking for a Crew, a bunch of us over on RPG.net have thrown http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/crew/vgo_enterprises together. Recruits are welcome!

Posted by: CanRay Oct 1 2013, 10:42 PM

Sent a recruit request.

Posted by: CanRay Oct 7 2013, 08:20 PM

*Beats GTA Online With My Cane* You work, but not work well!!!

Posted by: X-Kalibur Oct 7 2013, 09:06 PM

My roommate and I managed to jump the military base fence and steal us an F-16. We then commenced the buzzing (and subsequent razing) of most of LS.

Posted by: CanRay Oct 7 2013, 10:10 PM

I really have to get my USB headset to work with my PS3. I saw a guy rocketing everything when I had TWO Police Helicopters on me after knocking over a 24/7.

Really, Four Stars for knocking over a gas station? Do you guys have nothing else to do???

Posted by: X-Kalibur Oct 8 2013, 02:42 AM

That happens when you knock over too many stores without hiding your face.

Posted by: CanRay Oct 8 2013, 07:02 AM

Come on, unlock Heists already!!!

Ooooooooooooooooo, Trevor is now employing me!

Posted by: DWC Oct 13 2013, 01:17 AM

That was something they came up with in Red Dead Redemption, which was just GTA 4.5

Posted by: X-Kalibur Oct 14 2013, 04:25 PM

Grand Theft Palamino

Although if I'm being totally honest... probably a better game than GTA5.

Posted by: CanRay Oct 14 2013, 08:31 PM

*Beats GTA: Online with my cane* Open up Heists already!!!

Posted by: mister__joshua Mar 11 2014, 12:01 PM

I'm just getting into GTA Online on PS3. Did anyone ever start a Dumpshock crew?
