Grand Theft Auto Grieving Thread - Yep, I've been drinkin' again...

[Pissmaster]

I had a really specific problem that I figured out today, so I figured I'd post it here in case anyone else has this happen:

I grabbed GTA5 when it was free on Epic, and installed it via the Heroic launcher. Heroic has a feature that automatically makes Steam shortcuts to your Epic & GOG games, with artwork and all. But, if you launch GTA5 on Windows over Steam Link, your whole session gets locked up because of UAC. Steam Link connections, no matter what, cannot click on the UAC prompt, so you have to do it from your actual PC.

So I looked up a way to disable it for just GTA5, and found this on Reddit: https://archive.is/MBOoe

• Open Epic Games Launcher
• Go to Settings
• At the bottom, click to expand Red Dead Redemption 2
• Select Additional Command Line Arguments
• Enter -skipInstallers in the text area

Turns out, you can do that via Heroic, too. Click Settings:


and then put -skipInstallers in the argument box


It doesn't work in the Steam shortcut, but it does there, so you have to put it in Heroic no matter what. So there you go, I don't know if that'll be useful to any of you niggas but if you wanna run GTA5 remotely, that's how you do it

Oh, and if you're running GTA5 for the first time, it uses Rockstar's own launcher because they're assholes so it'll need to install that and then update it and then make you log into your Rockstar account and that's just something you gotta do because of niggers.

What's the point of downloading a game from Steam if you're still required to download another launcher to access your product?

It's the first GTA game with life simulator elements to it

Call it a stretch, but people would laud on GTA IV or RDR2 for being "realistic," but praise San Andreas for having "life simulator" effects? Why?

CJ's probably the closest the GTA franchise has to a good guy protagonist. He escaped the gang life, only came home after his mom was murdered and he had to attend her funeral/deal with that tragedy, and only fell back into crime for the sort of noble goal of saving his neighborhood from outside forces, traitorous friends, and a corrupt as fuck villain in the form of Samuel L Jackson at his most villainous that were actively harming it and the people living inside of it.

I'm pretty sure The Introduction showed that CJ was just a low-rent thug in Liberty City, robbing people and stealing cars. It would be a stretch to say he "fell back into" crime.

I agree apart from that, though. CJ is a pretty nice guy except for that one time.

CJ randomly burying a dude alive who did nothing wrong was pretty out of nowhere.

And yea CJ was technically an associate with the Mob in LC, stealing cars for Joey Leone.

That's what I meant by "that one time."

I want to add that cops in V are absolute cancer. All logic gets thrown out the window when a two star wanted level grants you half the LSPD with aimbot on your ass. Evading them takes several seconds once you're out of their vicinity. IV's wanted system was much fairer.

I don't know about you guys, but my nice guy CJ murdered a music agent just because some guy who cleans toilets told him too.

He also buried a guy alive in a porta-shitter for catcalling his sister.

And there was that one time he murderd a girlfriend with a dildo just to get an access card to a casino...

>I want you to take that motherfucka out.
>CJ ponders...
>KILL him?
>Well, I don't mean date him.

Hey, I like a nice mustache myself!

 

[Friendly Primarina]

"I want you to kill this guy for me."
"I dunno, man"
"You a busta CJ!"
"Well ok then."
- literally every conversation CJ has with his idiot friends

GTA V returns to Xbox Game Pass this month. Includes both the XB1 and Xbox Series S|X versions. Progress can be transferred over between generations.

But some of the workers cat-called his sister, so him killing everyone, destroying the site and burying the foreman is justified...somehow.

And to be fair to them, she was dressed like a literal ho'.

Playing GTA V/Online on xCloud, there are currently QUEUE TIMES to play via GPU. Three minutes. And I have not played since the Casino update, so I'm likely going to get bombarded with ads calls. At least it loads fast with it running on Xbox Series S servers.

Wait until GTA V reaches the top of the XBL charts again.

Which won't take too long because R* tards are still clueless consoomers

Tinfoil hat theory: since Black Ops Cold War is free on PS+ this month, having GTAV with Game Pass is MS's way to be competitive with Sony's PS+. And justify the price hike. Given how GTA V sells like hotcakes even eight years later, it's genius.

So what happened to GTASA-VR?

I got a friend who bought the meta viewmaster-thing just for that game.

lol I own a Quest 2 and forgot that was announced.

IF it could be half as fun as RE4VR I'd be fine with it. I get the feeling it's dead though.

While he got it right with anti-consumer changes on GTA Online, he used Kotaku's article as reference of all sources. But yeah, the GTA+ paywall just to get most cars you don't want indeed fucking stinks.

Whoever is designing the police systems at Rockstar is a fucking lunatic. GTA V police are nofun personified, to the point where even killing someone in the middle of the woods leads to the entire county trying to murder your ass. RDR2 is worse with infinitely spawning heavily armed lawmen zeroing in on your location by the dozen.

I've never understood why Rockstar insists on making their games into sandboxes/use an open world. There's fuck all to do outside of main missions. Even red dead fails miserably to make the world actually worth exploring or interacting with. Most you get are shitty fucking mini games and shops you can go into. That's it.

And considering they've been on this weird "video game but it's really a movie" trend since like gta 3 just makes their insistence on having a sandbox/open world an even more glaring flaw. And nothing proves this more than GTA5 and RD2.

Rockstar games feel like an MMO on a dead server. But then you go online and it's just faggots constantly griefing. Best you can hope for online is getting into a RP server and role-playing the fun out of the game, and it's mostly exclusive to GTA because no one gives a fuck about RDOnline.

Rockstar games are fun for the story once, then you maybe spend a few more hours after that ducking around the open world just killing shit because there's nothing else to do. Then we all pretend like it won't be the exact same shit next time.
