Grand Theft Auto Megathread - OP 3.0

[sir dooble]

Yeah, I didn't get why it was more expensive, or even so expensive for a non-weaponised plane.

[Swat 3]

I'm trying to save up for a besra jet, they're 1 million online for some reason even though they're 650,000 on singleplayer

also yeah the landing gear does affect your aerodynamics

everything is much more expensive online

[sir dooble]

So, I've got to ask, are there any console players who have changed to (or picked up) GTA 5 on PC?
Are there significant benefits to doing so, primarily in regards to online?

I'm kind of tempted, simply because I would be able to join more players from here online. I've never seen anyone from the crew online on the Xbox, and I have no friends who play on Xbox One (they all have it on 360).
It's £40 at the moment, but I would probably wait until it goes on any sort of sale (as long as they don't do the stuffty sales that they do on Xbox One, where it goes 20% off, but only as a bundle with some shark-cards, so you're still paying the full £60).

Opinions?
I would also check beforehand that my laptop is capable of playing, which I'm kind of unsure of.

[·::Kishgal::·]

the only real benefit is that it's where most folks are playing. and mods, i guess, but that's a bonus rather than a seller.
just get it through a third party retailer for cheap$ (or would that be "for ch£aps"?)
there's no reliable way of benchmarking it because it's really badly optimised and has such wildly varied performance on different hardware; what would you say is the most impressive thing your laptop can run at what level?

I love online, the only problem is everyone is off playing with mods in singleplayer on my friends list ;_;

[sir dooble]

Hmm. I don't have a great range of games that I've played on here.

I can play Bioshock Infinite on what I think are the second-highest settings, if memory serves.
But, I can't play Shadow of Mordor on any setting (but I think that was badly optimised. It seems to be all the rain that causes me lag).

I knows that's very vague, I'll try and give more info.
Would it be easier to just name my specs, even if GTA is a bit unpredictable?

[Mister Cheese]

Yeah you could do that. I was able to simply look up GPU tests with my current card to see how it ran and that worked seeing as the specs were similar enough

after getting the armored kuruma a while ago, now I'm working on buying a buzzard
those things are expensive, I'm like 20k away from it though

No

Get the Savage instead it is way better

[Ceist]

No

Get the Savage instead it is way better

savage is nice and all but weak as forget. i can shoot it down with a pistol. i have shot it down with a pistol.
the gun can't pivot or rotate either so thats lame as forget.
and the thing has horrible yaw and pitch, its incredibly slow compared to other helicopters, and is just loving huge.

[phflack]

No

Get the Savage instead it is way better

neat
I'll probably get the buzzard later, savage for now
it sounds pretty good with 0 delay homing missiles

nah. those it's better to have armor. get the buzzard instead.

[Alyx Vance]

Yeah, that can change quite quickly when you spend some time modding cars, with certain upgrade and aesthetics costing $10k a piece.

One of my friends keeps spending all of their money on buying + modding cars. He's typical so broke he can't even get ammo.
