Grand Theft Auto Online - Cross-platform multiplayer thread

xbox.com and Steam's web site don't seem to like the IDs in your sig, pinkdino99.

This is probably my second most played game at the moment.
Offline was good, but a bit "meh!" at the ending. I doubt I'll ever play single player again.
I subscribed to speedyw03 GTA online stream on youtube http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list... ,some 70+ videos of absolute creative + hilarious insanity.
This is why I play GTA online so much !
I looooove the crazy insane shootouts, car chases, glitch hunting, plane crashing and timed explosive mayhem that permeates my every session. It's too much fun !
Anyone wants to hook up, please do send me a friend invite + I'd love to join a GWJ crew if there is one available for crazy insane silliness.

Thanks for that, corrected !

I am having trouble getting this to work on PS3. After character creation I always get a message saying "Failed to host GTA Online session.". Then it returns to Story mode without saving my new character.

I haven't had any problems with any other PS3 games online. I was wondering if anyone else had any trouble getting it to work. Any suggestion?

Has anyone played the new update? If so, how is it? I'm too busy playing Tiranfall to be bothered to fire this one up.

They added ties in colors other than black, white, and grey, so that's good.

I am too hooked at Civ 5 at the moment. I will be back soon as I miss flying Cargo-Bobs into people's heads.

I consider myself a very patient and easy-going person, but GTA Online has been available for going on six months now. I'd like the heists before Memorial Day, ideally.

In the meantime, I saw this today:

The heists are coming soon

Hi-ho the derry-o
The heists are coming soon

In the meantime, this is absolutely ludicrous.

I have sincere doubts the average player in this game can handle a heist. They have not impressed me with their intellect, and certainly not with their scintillating wit.

You'd get halfway through a heist until someone shoots a teammate in the back of the head and a full-on gun battle ensues.

2x RP and $$$ this weekend. Anyone up for some chaos? Drop me a line on XBL!

Hey guys. Kinda new here on the forum. I've sent a request to PSN Social Club - GWJ PS Players. Hopefully I can join in looks like it hasn't been active for some time...

My Social Club ID is MarenkaS

So I want me some turbo, and I'm terrible at racing. Anyone want to "race trade" with me? That's when we enter a two-person race and take turns letting each other win, or so I gather.

I'm on PSN as Lobstermancer (PS3 version). If you want to poke me to go a few races, most effective way is through Steam. I don't have voice chat on PS3.

I could be interested in that sometime soon--I'm a fairly terrible racer. I also have no voice chat.

Match made in heaven, my friend. We can go crash into things in silence together.

OK, I've made a pair of useful races for people who suck at races, like us. Here's what ya do:

1. On the Rockstar Social Club, look for two races, "Sprint," and "Rally Sprint." You want the versions that are 0.62m long, which is the absolute minimum. They take 20-30 seconds to run, and basically just straight drag races.

Rally Sprint curves at the end so be careful, but you only need to beat it once to get your unlocks (then again as a passenger for an achievement). If anyone's having trouble with it I might go in an update it to be a little cleaner. I've blocked off all paths except for the "correct" one, so you don't really need any navigation. Beating it unlocks three paint jobs listed under "metals."

2. Get yourself a Massacro and upgrade it as much as you can. This step isn't strictly necessary but it could give you an edge. Most players who have put any serious time into GTA Online have a Zentorno, which is a super car. Far fewer have a custom sports car, and the Massacro is the fastest for the Sprint track. If they're using a stock vehicle, even one level of improved engine will make a difference in your favor.

If you use the default class for Sprint, you'll want to use a Sanchez (dirt bike). Just try not to get run over.

3. Get really good at boost starts.

For Sprint, I like to turn off catchup and slipstream, which basically leaves it up to the machine who wins. If you win, awesome, the game is way more generous with "classes" than I thought it was, with all wins counting for all types of vehicle. If you lose, you lose quick and can try again.

Unrelated, I actually managed to set a world record the other day. I was using my slightly modified Akuma on an on-road/off-road motorcycle track. On the off-road part I was just keeping up but once we hit the road I blew by everyone else and finished 10 seconds before second place. You don't get anything for setting a world record, and I'm OK with that since I never even considered it as a possibility that I might get even close to one.

Hey folks, recently started playing GTA Online on the 360 in anticipation for the PS4 launch. If I understand correctly you'll be able to cross-platform migrate your character to the next gen version, so I'll ultimately be on the PS4. Just sent an invite to the GWJ Social Club. See you around Los Santos!

Heists are coming out March 10. I'll be incommunicado until the following week but if anyone wants to do some crime, I'll be on PS4 with the GWJ Clan.

I have tried sending a PM to TheHipGamer in "rockstar's social club" and have not seen a response. What is his GWJ forum id, it might be easier for me to PM him on there, especially if he has emails notifications for social club turned off. My steam Id is http://steamcommunity.com//id/TheCom... and my RS Socail Id is DarkComplex. I was told that when you are in a crew you can make it so that you default into a session with only crew members, but I don't know if that is true. Both me and my brother jhales are playing on the GTA5 PC.

I've not seen your PM -- are you just trying to get into the crew? We have a few admins (SpacePPoliceman, Ahrezmendi, and me). I'm TheHipGamer here, too.

Just ask to join via http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/.... Any of us can then "invite" you in.

Ok, apparently after i requested the invite I went to my settings and made all the visibility to me only. It won't allow me to be invited to anything unless everyone can see my wall.

It's looking like a rainy day here, so I'm going to be online on PS4 in a couple of hours (around 1:30 central time) trying to lead as many of the heists as I can. Hope to see some of you online!

I've requested an invite to the crew also. Username is _0mni_ (that's a zero).

Look forward to teaming up with people who may be at least slightly more reliable than the randoms I've been teamed up with so far.

Is anyone still playing this on the One? Seems like most Goodjers are on the PC since that's the new hotness.

I'm on the XBO but have had little time of late.

If you're still looking for people for GTA:O on Xbox One, I'm looking for some heisters.

Just let me know a time and a place. I've had difficulty doing the heists because it hard to stay connected to the same people, but the recent update seems to have fixed this.
