Speaking of Stretch, I actually found out from one of that faggot DarkViperAU's videos that originally Stretch was going to be a police informant rather than a simple gang traitor.
Not sure how much that would have changed the story but it's an interesting tidbit I suppose.

Evidence being shit found in the files. Like alternate voice lines and such.
That could've been interesting. I doubt Franklin would keep Stretch close to know about his heists, unless Lamar was dumb enough to say something.

I'm skimming a lot here but that's pretty much what Stretch's whole deal boils down to.
The issue with V's writing is that it comes and goes so suddenly. The main antagonists are practically the FIB because of Micheal's shady past being covered up by a corrupt agent with a shittier boss. Again, Franklin's arc feels rushed with no satisfying conclusion. Trevor too, although learning the truth about Brad was SOME closure for him.

"Man, fuck Rockstar for removing the Liberty City mod, fucking up Online for a decade straight, abandoning RDO, canceling GTA V's single player DLC's and making shitty mobile ports of my childhood games!"
"GTA 6 will cost $200"
"Ooh, quite a steal! Rockstar hasn't let me down yet!!"
Yeah, people like that are going to tank this whole industry down with them.

Is the Liberty City mod saved somewhere? I would like to download it in case it gets removed from more places and it becomes unobtanium.
 
Started playing GTAV again for the first time since it came out on xbox 360, this time on PC with the graphics cranked all the way up.

I forgot how much of a great game it is. There's a first person mode now, on foot and in vehicles. I definitely don't remember that being on the xbox 360 version I had. It looks good but it's also just a ton of fun to play that way. The driving is difficult in first person but you get better at it and it's rewarding. I think this might be the first game where they truly nailed the "I'm a criminal who kills people and does crimes" simulator they were always going for since the earliest top down games (which were fun in their own way at the time, especially the second one.)
 
You've reached the bottom of the barrel of GTA community, normal people don't watch or even leave a comment on that guy's video. He's a well-known parasite in the community and even Ned Luke (Michael VA) called him out personally on his clickbaity video.
I used to watch MrBoss back in 2016 when I played GTA online almost religiously, but then I found SaintsFan. Does he still do shit? He didn't seem so clickbaity. I only paid attention for double money/XP events and Los Santos Customs updates though.
Introducing the DONKS! was a huge event up until it actually happened and I realized besides the Rat Truck they all looked fucking dumb but I'm not a mexican so bouncing cars doesn't really excite me.

He never stops

I remember MrBossFTW making CoD content into Black Ops II/Ghosts of the same speculative format.

Try driveby and driving in first person. The FOV with the saloon and the gun is too zoomed in when you're trying to aim around. Thank goodness R* had the foresight to toggle camera views for certain actions. I still haven't learned how to throw projectiles in first person view; it always drops to my feet.
 
So I decided to put og SA,VC and 4 on my steam deck with fixes, mods and the original music. I own all three on steam, so should be easy. VC and SA, where no problem. 4 on the other hand is so annoying, I just grabbed a fitgirl repack. Stupid fucking always online launcher that they added since I last played, really fucks with the steam deck. Something about playing SA, on a handheld feels both futuristic and nostalgic.

I really need to give all 3 PS2 games a replay, but especially VC and SA! So many mems and feels.
 
Someone get those Ruskies a beer and a blowjob.
Quality shit considering it's 4 people and has 95% or so of what VC includes. There's the odd crash here and there but IV isn't exactly the most stable game on PC so it is what it is.

Fuck Cockstar.
 
I hope everyone who's snitching to rockstar about the Vice City RAGE port OD's on fent.

Here's hoping San Andreas gets the same treatment soon.
 
So, question for everyone. I'm starting a new character on PS5; the game gave me 4,000,000 to help start up my first criminal career. The four I can start with are Executive, Gunrunner, Nightclub Owner, or Biker; any suggestion on which one? I'm a (mostly) solo-only player, and I was looking for something casual, preferably low risk that can make money easily. I was considering either Nightclub Owner as I heard it gives a passive income, or Gunrunner since it provides access to the MK.II Weapons, though what do you guys suggest? I know I can take a look at other businesses later, and I will, just looking for a decent starter.

Taking a look so far, Biker looks like it's multiplayer-focused, so that's out; same with Executive, unless I'm missing something. Gunrunner and Nightclub Owner both look more casual and solo-friendly, but I'm not the most knowledgeable about GTA Online these days, so... anyone got any advice?

start with the acid lab, no upfront cost and the contact missions are fun. do that for a while, then get a nightclub for the daily income, and then a kosatka for cayo perico. if you need another side business, the agency and the auto shop are quick, easy money. everything else you can buy as you need basically.
