Grand Theft Auto V

Just curious, I am getting Grand Theft Auto V at launch, anyone else planning on getting it? GTA Online won't be available until October 1st, but I'd love to get a group together when it does come available.

I'll definitely be getting it before Online is on. Just so I know how much before I should it, does your story campaign progress affect the Online part?

As far as I have been able to tell they are completely separate worlds, so I would be surprised if they affect each other.

Quote from Rockstar:

"[Taking place] slightly before the events of GTA V,” GTA Online won’t see your stats from the single player portion of the game, and when October 1st rolls around, “You’ll have an extra character on your Switch Wheel. Instead of choosing Franklin, Michael or Trevor, you’ll select your multiplayer character and you’ll be sucked straight in there.

Ah! I was wondering why there was a fourth character on the selection wheel.

Why is there the wait for GTA Online though?

Quoting Rockstar:

“We want it to be known as a different entity, a separate thing, and it’ll grow on its own. It’ll be GTA Online; it’s not part of GTA V. Obviously it’s set in the GTA V engine, but it’s going to grow and evolve into its own thing.”

Yes!

Though, first my plan is to explore Mt. Chiliad to determine its geologic origins within the context of the depicted island landscape morphology. Is it a hot spot? If it is we'd be looking for primarily mafic volcanic rocks (i.e. lava fields), Or are we looking at an uplifted core of an orogenic event? In which case we might see something more felsic and rounded, like granite. Oh oh oh, or maybe it's none of those and and it's a huge stack of sedimentary layers, just like Mount Sharp where the Curiosity rover is now!

So yeah... after I'm done with all that... multiplayer for sure :)

When we start playing multiplayer I expect a full report on Mt. Chiliad!

Upon detailed analysis, the cross is not related to the underlying geology....

I'm getting it, but probably not right at launch. I just dropped a lot of money on outdoor gear, so I need to wait a month for the wife to cool off before I buy more toys. ;P I'm definitely getting it for community nights. That's what I'm most excited about.

It must be different now, because I'm B-30864 and that lets me jump anywhere alone or in any size formations.

The sport has changed a lot in 25 years!

Almost any jump center has time limits - if you haven't jumped in 6 months, or a year in some places, they want at least a qualifier... and sometimes more. 25 years... you might as well not have a license in the first place.

Oh I misunderstood. Got you now. It's a currency issue not a license issue.

So two things I see on your bucket list then:

1. Get in shape enough to do another jump.
2. Get past the Berserker on Gears of War.

lol - the first one is a possibility... but my bucket list is much more interesting than #2, thanks. ;)

(Next item coming up is 'See the Northern Lights' - should be checked off in about 3 weeks.)

I suggest adding St Patrick's Day in Butte Montana to the list. You will know why when you go. :-D

I have personal reasons for not being able to think rationally about this subject. It doesn't matter what the statistics say. I would beg anyone considering it to reconsider.

I say the opposite. You are right in that the stats don't tell the whole story.

I've got almost 1000 jumps and my biggest injury is a ripped hangnail.

That being said, I have known people who have died doing it. The vast majority of the people who die today in the sport do so because they made bad choices, or were pushing the limit and simply doing very dangerous things. If you are conservative and diligent about safety, I believe that you will very likely not die, and most likely escape serious injury.

If you are interested in the least bit, do it.

In order for me to go skydiving, the plane would have to completely break apart in flight.

How I happen to have a skydiving harness and parachute on at the time of the accident has yet to be determined.

People don't yet realize though that the entire Bungie staff will be joining us.

What game allows more than 400 players to play at once? :)

If you're saying 400 players in one game, let's hope not!

I imagine a 400 person raid through a thin corridor would be my brand of pure chaos.

Was just talking about the recent big EVE battle with a friend today in the context of Ready Player One (you've GOT to read that book, Paddy!).

I'd like to part of that once in a while, as kind of a Helm's Deep signature event. I don't know if I'd want it on a regular basis though, especially considering I'd probably die early and often.

I tend to pick up Rockstar games a few months later. They're so long that I like to play them in the lull times.

But I hear it's excellent.

I just noticed, you can have an Oni user icon in Social Club either in the iOS app or online. I was going to choose a LA Noire icon, but really how can I say no to a Bungie game icon instead?

It's because Rockstar published Oni for the PS2.
