GTA IV does run like shit, but I don't remember it ever crash in my end. As for GTA V, the crash may happen in case the latest patch or GTA Online weekly event fucks it up. There's no fix except wait for another weekly event cycle or update, then bite the bullet and see if the crash still appears.
it didn't help that rockstar didn't cap anything (which people back then defended as "futureproofing", fucking lol), so you got a lot of mustards maxing everything, which on top of the already shoddy performance made things a lot worse.
 
In other news, Tranny defender and girldick sucker SWEGTA wishes to become an anime girl, Troon arc in the works?

What no Bully 2 does to mf

Sorry for doubleposting but here's some leaked cutscenes from Drag War DLC part 2

This was December 2020 when I had installed it, so maybe it was an update around then that messed with it. I'll give it another shot whenever I have space on my HDD for the game
I don't think you should, since current game size is about 100 GB and the download files haven't compressed yet until now.

And R* Launcher still sucks at launching a fucking game without "network" issues.

Can confirm. It starts janky since The Casino Heist update.

Just turn off night shadows and it runs fine.
Idk why night shadows tanks the frame rate.
Huh, I didn't know that. Though the crash still happens even without night shadows enabled. Regardless, I'll keep that in mind.

As for framerate, it's probably unoptimized due to spaghetti codes.

i too miss kicking a old man to make him curl and grab his head to knee him a couple of times before finishing him with one punch.
i was never a fan of boxing nor kung fu, mostly because kick boxing deals fatal damage if you grab someone unlike boxing and kung fu, although the video doesn't cover the "gansta" fighting style which you kick a nigga and can be used if you try activating special attack without knowing any fighting styles, on pc is default Shift+F

Oh shit. I forgot fighting style was an actual feature in GTA:SA.

As for GTAV / Online, all you need is a RDR Hatchet, any gun to wield for insta-kill with butt stock punch, or stun punch with C4. But I'm sure as hell it'll come in handy for that shitty designed MC Business resupply mission in a Bar.

Rockstar doesn't allow players to use the hatchet on non free mode mission which is gay af

on some missions you can but you won't get the health increase bonus effect, most new R* missions often have loadouts to cripple the player anyway.
 
"The new guy isn't a Trevor rip off"
*mission literally copies assets and design of Minor Turbulence*

Damn, man. The GTA V cow is milked. Who/what can they bring back now?
I was hoping Michael with the movie studio.

Speaking of which, I'm confused of Trevor's character with Smuggler's Run. Ron says that Trevor went "all Vinewood," whatever that means. Later with the Dre Contract, the secretary says that Trevor is still crazy. So... which is it? Are they slowly just writing Trevor off?

If I was a click bait Youtuber, I'd say him going "Vinewood" is meta commentary on Ogg wanting to be done with the character.

Trevor will most likely be relegated to vague references like all the other characters who's voice actors fucked off or pissed off Rockstar, I imagine.

Remember guys, Trevor is a CARTOON.

If GTA VI has ANY good writers left, I hope that they'd do a jab on Steven Ogg/Trevor Phillips being a cartoon.
 
I'm falling into a real rabbit hole concerning the GTA V mystery. These people are hilarious.

The Potential Remaining Mystery via Reddit

The Potential End

Hey all, big time lurker but not much of a contributor here. But I’m taking some advice and sharing a lot of information and theory’s that not everyone is familiar with for the holidays and just maybe reignite the hunt in some of you. To be honest this is all worked on by a small (like counting on one hand) group on discord.

So the hunt took quite a dip in its existing community after a DLC released called the doomsday heist ( https://www.rockstargames.com/videos/video/12014 )in which Rockstar distributed a Jetpack in December 2017. The covenant item most hunters were searching for since the games release. So in turn most took this as a sign the mystery was over and started to give up the hunt. If all you wanted was a Jet pack then this was a way for closure I guess from the devs.

And here is where I picked up the mystery at the beginning of 2018, at seemingly it’s end. I came at it with the question “is there anything left”?

Since everyone was focused on Chiliad, the Jetpack and just it’s Mural I was focused on everything else unanswered. Mainly what’s known as Karma, cults (such as the Epsilon program) the other Murals and influenced Illuminati mysteries. Of course sticking to things relevant to gameplay and trying not to board the crazy train, but there is so many unanswered questions left. What this lead to is the possibility that there’s still a greater mystery to be solved and that its associated with GTAV main story. https://i.imgur.com/PBrH5WZ.jpg

There was already a great collection of clues and connections already assembled by community contributors in both YouTube and Reddit. So huge thanks to the efforts of Jetpack Jones, MusicVidiot, Trippy Comms, Kim F, Shad, Dibbes, Kyors Power, old posts from Mania Farm and much more. Though no one got everything right… everyone did however get something right along the way. And I hope these individuals (and you) get inspired to take another crack at it and combine their efforts like they once did. Because the story is only the beginning.

“I see a web…”

The Order of Things
The Methodology to solving this mystery is similar to solving say FNAF. You need to take time to acquire solid knowledge of the games story and events in order to recognize the clues when they emerge. For GTAV the next part is recognizing that a lot of these clues are hidden in plain sight. It could be dialogue, billboards, tattoos, cults and even something like a businesses logo. The range of these clues is basically everything in the game and at times out of the game. Don’t be surprised if it appears that the entire game seems created around this mystery once you dive in. These clues help solve many steps and were used to solve the missions order. Solving the entire order was trickier then just knowing what heists to pick, but once you figure out where key missions are played a majority of other missions would fall into order naturally.

Digging though the Chiliad Mystery Reddit and Youtube it was found that the community a while back discovered some Red X’s in the 5 main heist in the game. Next some started theorizing they could be linked to the 5 boxes on this Chiliad Mural with its 5 red X’s. The heists these were found in went in sequence of A, B, A, B, B.

A: https://i.imgur.com/aYPeFBp.jpg

B: https://i.imgur.com/yJQU9Ty.jpg

A: https://i.imgur.com/MtTef49.jpg

B: https://i.imgur.com/6VQpHrf.jpg

B: https://i.imgur.com/8ds4vaQ.jpg

Now here is where things become more then coincidence. Some would later find it linked to lines of dialogue said by one of the main protagonist after smoking pot which can be seen here. https://i.imgur.com/Aq8quj7.jpg This then shows not only the 5 Heists choices exactly, but also what’s believed to be the choice of who to kill at the end of the game bringing it to be A, B, A, B, B, A.

Now what was found is that depending on what heists you pick and if you choose to help one of the main characters family out or not (3 of them at different points of the game call for help) influences the number of missions you play. So following the Red X choices and the Epsilon cult saying “ignore your family”, we ended up with the total number on our replay list of missions at “68”. https://i.imgur.com/MMMp0OF.jpg (It says 68/70 because the game gives all 3 endings after your choice to replay as making the true number 68)

After establishing this number then was found a series of clues that coincided and haven’t been linked before. The first was a car given to returning players from last gen to next with a Sprunk paint job. The paint job features the number 68 and a Red X. https://i.imgur.com/opEPJv7.png

Next is the main highway of the game known as Route 68 seen here.

https://i.imgur.com/9a10hnv.png

https://i.imgur.com/7Bn1WNR.jpg

The last couple connections found happened to be in the story itself. No matter how you play the order of your mission you always end up with a mission known as the Blitzplay in the middle of the story at mission 34. https://i.imgur.com/eJTj612.png

Hidden within plane sight of one of the mission cutscene just happens to be the number 4386 that if turned backwards becomes 6834.

https://i.imgur.com/J059mer.png

68 being total missions and 34 being the exact mission number this is shown. A short time after this mission you are present a side mission where a man offers a night with his wife in exchange for a favor. The address for the Motel this takes place ends up being 6834.

https://i.imgur.com/hmSAX2H.jpg

With what the existing community found in the past backed by new connections found recently we have been able to put together a great foundation of a very possible Theory that there is still something left in GTAV to find. We are further along then what is presented and to let you know this leads to everything from symbol Cyphers (such as the 3 characters having different Suns https://imgur.com/a/jNT5Ure ) to decoding metaphors that all link back to the story. My hopes with this post is to catch you up, spark some interest in you and possibly others to open their own investigation. To be honest fresh eye of the story maybe what takes this next level. If nothing else I hope your community at the least keep an eye on the progress of this recently dying mystery. If enough interest is shown I’ll post some updates.

But in any case just want to say Thanks for reading! Oh and like you say around here “it’s just a game theory!” (I’m so nerd 🤓) 👍 Any questions feel free. More recaps soon.

The shrink is alive is canon?, that doesn't seem like Michael I always killed him in my playthroughs
IIRC, even if you didn't kill him the news reported that he was found dead. So Rockstar really just don't give a fuck at this point.

Like, I want a middle ground between being super autismo auter like Sam Houser and whatever schizo zoomer faggot who is currently just throwing whatever the fuck he wants at the wall.

fans are coping over the fact that friedlander's death was a mystery based on the part "No one has yet identified the real Mr. De Santos and people are unsure even if he is alive." but even i, as a fucking ESL can see they wonder if De Santos is alive, not the doctor, isiah was 100% murdered but it's implied by the police if Mr. De Santos did it, holy fuck I WANT WHAT THESE PEOPLE ARE SMOKING.
imagine you, a naturally born englisch speaker, ignoring your own fucking language to not call the writers of the game you are a devoted consoomer of, a bunch of fucking hacks for ignoring their own shit.
