La Bombe Photographique.

That's a good question, I think they just say "photobomb".

danke

Every game company has done that.

Rockstar STILL HASN'T ADDED HEISTS OR BANK ROBBERIES TO GTA ONLINE.

They promised it would be finished "a few days" after the launch. Then "a few weeks".

Still nothing. This long after release. Just a bunch of shitty micro-dlc bullshit like "the business update" and the "im not a hipster" update.

A stupid overhyped version of a car some guy saw on top gears and a weapon nobody cares about. That's all they've really produced.

They added "flight school" to the game. I completed it and got gold on everything - you get zero reward from doing any of that. Not even an achievement, which is weird because DLCs often add more achievements.

Anyways the point is GTA V is great but the experience is tainted by Rockstar's obvious apathy and really bland non-immersive idea of what constitutes multiplayer gameplay.

Such a step backwards. And you can't even use the cars you got from the DLC packs in single player. That's right, your DLC does not work on solo mode. You can't use the millions of dollars that everyone has with franklin to purchase any of this crap. If you ever want to use it you must grind the boring repetetive GTA online missions until you have about 750,000.

I thank god some cheater had a 9 million dollar bounty on him a while back, I transferred the entire amount into my bank account in 100,000 dollar increments until it was all done over the period of a few days. Rockstar went on a huge crack-down on people who received a lot of money, but the thing is they can only check your BANK balance not your CURRENT balance which apparently is fluid and individual to each player's console (it updates the player-held currency all the time on the hard drive and only syncs up to the rockstar cloud when you deposit money from on-hand to your actual bank account.

Basically I laundered it into smaller transactions that rockstar overlooked when they combed through everyone's accounts. My friend did the transfer of all his ill-gotten loot in one go and he lost everything including the cars he purchased with it. I was able to keep my millions.

There is absolutely no point or redeeming value to this anecdote. Thank you.

That sounds like a scam you'd read in EVE Online news.

I hope you bought some guns with all that money, Gmork.

Hey Gmork, have they let you change your face yet? I had a really good face, but then their servers fucked up my save and changed my face, so I've had zero desire to play it until they fix things and let me rebuild my face again.

And as to your point: Rockstar is Michael. Rich, fat, succesful, and more eager to fit in with their new respectable millionaire asshole buddies, than to cut loose and have fun with the little people who got them their McMansions in the Hills.

What I hated the most was how they totally rigged the online money making and car-owning schemes. Money was very hard to come by, and also you couldn't really drive a car unless you *BOUGHT* it, thanks to the awful "Stolen Vehicles give you a permanent wanted level" "feature". (Grand Payment Auto...?!) So you had to either A) grind for 200 hours to unlock a single decent sportscar and hope you liked the model you purchased, or B) shell out twenty bucks, on top of what you'd already paid for the "game" and the DLC, in order to buy an ingame cash-card that would just about cover one non-blinged Ferrari. And the worst part was, the online community? Thousands of fanboys falling over themselves gushing, oh wow that's so cool, thank you Rockstart for selling us pseudocurrency! I had one particularly fat fanboy tell me the only reason anyone complained about cash-cards was because us gamers "selfishly wanted something for free".

Honestly, I have no idea if kids are just stupid, or if Rockstar was paying their own employees to astroturf the forums with phony pro-cashcard spam. Probably both.

To this day, there is a BIG EMPTY WALL in every over 200k residence you can own in GTA V - what's supposed to be on that wall?

The heist planning section. You and your friends were supposed to be able to plan to heist a variety of locations all around.

There are banks with entirely-modeled and detailed insides that are obviously meant to be used for such heists, and are never used in the single player game for any reason.

It's ridiculous how they've not taken more shit for it, but I guess so many people are dumb enough to be distracted by the DLC that Rockstar hasn't really felt any backlash from it.

If you read up on the history of this series, it was originally intended to only be only 2 or 3 games with a specific design direction, but then when it became a cash cow, Ubisoft basically milked it out forcing all sorts of adjustments to the original design of the planned trilogy and turning it into the bloated, clumsy mess that it is now.

It never seemed like that much fun in the first place. I mean, the story's interesting but there's movies for that. Or I could just read a history book if I was interested in what's going on here. The gameplay just looks like MGS but without, I don't know, cool weapons from the not-so-distant future that are really fucking cool?

I love how completely inconspicuous and stealthy every assassin has looked in every one of these games. And how they really put the emphasis on assassinating people, as opposed to, for example, pulling out an array of deadly weapons and turning into a human meat-grinder with all the spycraft of a mobile home crossed with a slaughterhouse.

More please!

So it would have been perfect if they had said the one French phrase that everyone says when they're trying to be funny?

Yeah, I don't think so.

Anaxagoras is just grumpy because they're tired.

It's impossible to sit down with a big stick up your ass.

True, but my posture is incredible.

And I don't recommend the most obvious "joke" as the thing that would have been perfect.

That stick comes in handy all sorts of ways.

What would have made this perfect is if he had shouted, "zut alores!"
