I've seen you online when I've been online (pastyface7) but maybe you just leave your playstation on?

oh, yeah, I just leave it on pretty much all day. I have about 13 hours with each character now (on average).

are you on the social club thingy?

[stevegull]

No I'm not on social club thingy. Should I be?

Tried going on to it today but Rockstar's servers must be fried. No chance of getting on for a run around. Created my character and went to start the first mission but it glitched out.

not tried to get online yet. still at work!

I'm 5 hours behind you.

Anyone had any luck on GTA online? I managed to get a character going but it got deleted from their cloud servers when I got to level 10 and I couldn't be bothered after that. They really need to sort their servers out.

I've been online and not had any trouble. Only level 8/9 though so fingers crossed I don't lose mine at level 10 as you did!

[stevegull]

They've said they have fixed character deletion problems now (it seems thousands had the issue). So you SHOULD be okay. What console are you on, Nick? I don't have anyone to do online shit with!!

xbox mate, the obvious choice :p

massively enjoying online with friends, it is awesome, though the cops are ALOT tougher to get away from I find, and also they're alot easier to get aswell!

I saw something saying that because of all the problems, anyone who has played online will receive $500,000 in-game dollars for your character as an apology, which would be awesome as i have struggled to get over $20k so far!

has anyone played the games sleeping dogs and dead island on xbox 360? if so, are they any good?

I have Sleeping Dogs on my PS3 - got it for free with the PS+ program. Absolutely brilliant game. Better than GTA IV, for sure. Really enjoyed it.

I have just over $200k now. i recommend lots of races - even if you finish 6th out of 8 you're getting $2000, which is helpful. Also, nicking cars and selling them to the mod shop is helpful. You can't get $9,000 for one of the fancy land rover-looking types, although you can only do one every 45 minutes (that's a day in the game).

Not usually into the online stuff but this has been terrific. Getting a little pissed off with random people driving past and killing me for no reason though.

thanks for that. its quite cheap on ebay so i will give it a go.

ok, SteveGull - I made a crew since apparently you get bonus RP and money for being in one. I called it "Perennial Strugglers", which I thought seemed appropriate. Anyway, let me know yours and that other chaps social club name and I'll invite you.

[stevegull]

ahhh, top lad! Do I have to sign up to social club then? Because I haven't yet...

Will crack on to it tomorrow probably. If you want to add the 'other chap' his name is rasco47 I believe.
