I think the social club is a bit slow to update - says I'm level 16 - 26 now.

Can we get an xbox rollcall?

I told ma wife to pxxxs off, - man is playing game. Then PHUK racer shouldered me into oncoming car during a race when we went neck-to-neck. I thought to play nicely but laughing into mic created atmosphere. Damn, need to lvl up skillz.

Survival mode is funny business. Could set up 2 in barn and 2 behind shed. Should easily pump through 10 waves.

I play XBox. Looks like they've fixed things somewhat. Although unexpectedly I appear to be #1 in the crew with a ridiculous score so it doesn't seem to be totally fixed.

What's your username? I did that to someone in the route 68 race, but it happened to me a few times too. Barged someone into a telegraph pole for comedy deceleration effect.

On the second race I took someone out right at the start and then there was a huge pile which I just missed so sat at the front all the way. The first race errmmmmm errrrrr my chid was sick on the back seat so had to pull over and clean that up, yeah that's what happened.

I think a little push now and then is par for the course. I had someone nudge me into a tree in a motorbike race so I may have accidentally pushed him off the side of the road once I caught him up again.

I must admit I never deliberately knocked anyone out of the way. Mostly because I always crash myself when I try.

It's fairly unpredictable entirely for that reason I think. Stops you just ramming people out of the way to win races.

Erm, right. I'm so shite at this online bit I can't even work out how to request to join your crew.

So please tell me how to send a request, and secondly let me join your crew.

I've already been killed twice by 6 year old Spaniards whilst typing this!

If you are using a PS3 - then find the first post on this thread and follow the links. Herr Boss Man (with the kinky underwear) Drac will accept you (he is easy like that) and you will join in the sillyness that is STW/GTA5.

On a plus note - I annoyed someone enough last night that a bounty was placed on my head. Drac was on the same map so I drove towards him, got out of my car and allowed him to kill me and gain $7k! Its a bizarre world!

I don't remember it but he was wearing white shorts a white jacket and a white pointy hat.

I have just deleted GTA entirely and restarted from new except for online in the hope of solving this locking up problem. It hasn't helped at all, I can't complete any normal game missions. I don't think it's my internet as it's happening on and offline, could it be my actual PlayStation or is it more likely to be game?

Well been having lots of fun blowing people up with sticky bombs when they're in their personal cars but too much fun I now have a dunce hat and on the naughty step for 48hrs, it's good job I'm on nights from tomorrow. Stupid bloody idea in GTA to be punished for killing players by blowing their car up.

I_Ache it sounds like you may have a dodgy Hard Drive I had similar problem with my PS3 for awhile and it would corrupt the main software so had to keep doing reinstalls. New hard drive sorted it out right.

My headset battery ran out.. Ended up with some randoms, few races, a LTS at which I sucked, and a quality mission called Hippy Hunting in which both teams have to rob the same van with comedy results. Must do that with the crew 🙂

I did worry that might be the case drac. I will have a Google to see what I need to do to change it. I take it all the boot software isn't stored on the PS3 so it's just a car off plug and play? Obviously I will lose all game data but that's no biggie.

Back you game data up onto a USB.

The chip contains a basic boot software and then it downloads the rest onto a HD there's load of videos on what to do but it's very easy.

Bounties can be given out by NPCs if you steal a nice car. If you last 1 in game day (45 mins) you get the money. If you leave before someone claims the bounty or 1 day expires it'll reset when you next start.

Always fun to indulge in a spot of bounty hunting, but can get costly. Most trouble I've had is from other bounty hunters...

Oooooooo, didn't know that about bounties - I can last forever on the roof north of the customs north of the city.

To all the guys I met tonight, something was screwy with my connection - kept dropping out.

If you do the quick respawn thing (either tapping X or waiting for the bar to fill up in the loading screen after you die) you won't respawn too far away from your last position. People can kill you then bring the map up to see where/when you respawn, and usually get to you before you figure out what's what. I managed to pick up a £7k bounty because the guy killed me when I was running from police, police then shot him so when I respawned had the sniper ready and he appeared just down the street.

There is another option (square?) which either spawns you in your safehouse or further away. TBH never pressed it!

You can just piss about in your safehouse too. But that's for the weak.

I had a bounty on me this week and let the bloke I'd been doing jobs with take it. There were about 5-6 players heading my way so seemed the nicest way to get out of it. On the flip side, the reason I had the bounty on me was I'd spent 30 mins griefing this bloke who ran me over as I left a mission. I must have killed him 5 or 6 times until he got fed up and called the bounty in.

That'll request a 1 on 1 Deathmatch I'm not sure there is another option you just have to kill them first or grab a car and go. Had some long battles trying to get rid of people and them of me.

I have to say I felt quite bad when Drac stood there ( in his bikini) and told me to take the easy bounty.

I mean killing a bald woman in the street for money seems wrong.

I've had a few fun sessions with crew members - we should try and arrange a time when we can all get on.

The Bad Sports place is a dark place lots of people with super pimped cars and tanks that can outrun Police cars they drive around killing everything in their path. Still only 5 hours and I'm allowed out to play again. Until next time I blow up a few players cars that are trying to kill me.

That in-game stunt montage is excellent. If you haven't tried backflipping a motorbike, you definitely should!

Drac: bad sports mode gets progressively longer the more often you're sent there. If you want to avoid bad sports mode, do some missions or races in between blowing up other players cars - that helps reset you to "good" status 😀

Presumably so that it doesn't end up like previous public online games where you take three steps and get killed, every time.

They have passive mode for those that want to not be killed well not by guns anyway as blowing their car up or running them over still kills them. GTA is all about mayhem so if you don't want that then you play invite only or solo. There's a financial penalty for blowing up people's cars which seems fair, it's proving to be very unpopular the bad sport for cars so it'll be interesting to see where they go with it.

So I changed my HDD and the game was still crashing. I had no idea what to do, until today when I found it wouldn't play 2 of my bluray discs but would play a DVD. A bit of googling later and I found the best bet was to rebuild the file system. I managed that but in the meantime the kids had a spillage and seem to have broken both controllers. Gutted.

In buggered if I'm paying £70 for two replacements so I am going for replacement ribbons. Fingers crossed I will be up and running by the end of the week.
