Same thing happened to me with that same safe-house. I didn't wait it out though and managed to raise enough to buy another one. Although I do feel like I'm entitled to buy a 100k cash card when they become available. I'd prefer if R* gives me one for my trouble, but it's just 3 bucks.

I've made a lot of money surviving bounties.

The blueprint map shows that the vineyard just NE of LS as a safe house. I've been wondering if there are additional safe houses past a particular level

That's disappointing. There's a house for 93k that says it has an almost endless view of the ocean, if it shares the same interior as the 87k home then that would be useless since the blinds were always down in that place.

I've noticed that some of the safe-houses that are shown on the blueprint map aren't listed on the Dynasty 8 website. Do we need to get to a certain rp level to get access to these safe-houses?

I saved up around 90k to buy an apartment yesterday, and when I loaded up the game again I was wearing the same outfit, had the same amount of money after the purchase yet no fucking safe-house! I thought making money was supposed to be easier online. It took me ages to get the money for an apartment only for it to disappear.

Feel free to add me I'm BU EBRAHIM. Though I live in one of the weakest broadband regions in the world so I'll be ninjaing around madly if any of you have a proper connection.

I figured out how to start solo sessions last night but after playing for hours I only managed to get 30k. I didn't know about the selling cars to LS customs though, could make life easier.

I've been having a real hard time trying to get to play with other players since GTA online went.. well online. I only got into 2 team death-matches and the lag from my shitty Internet connection has been unbearable. The only way I've been making money was through doing liquor store hold-ups and solo missions and it has been a very slow grind, only to get hunted down by other players to kill me and take all my cash while I'm on the phone trying to deposit my ill gains. Yesterday I gave in and decided to get the cheapest cash card so that I could buy myself a safe-house, but as fate would have it, they seem to be down for maintenance. I'm somewhat relieved I didn't take the easy way, but I wonder if Rockstar got enough negative feedback that they're considering removing that option?

The way I see it:

There is a song on Radio Los Santos that features the lyrics:"I'm a fucking genius, look at my fucking penis." Every time I listen to that line, I get a mental image of Einstein with his tongue out as he flashes his shriveled old man penis at my brain camera. Oh those wacky contemporary hip-hopsters. When I was a kid, I listened to rap because those songs had words like fuck in them. In my teens I began to appreciate the rebellious angst of the likes of 2pac and public enemy. Now I rarely listen to hip-hop because it seems to be full of egomaniac assholes and Einstein dicks.

Fuck! I'm going to have to dig out my old iPhone, hope it works with the iPhone 4.

The streets of Rome are filled with rubble, ancient footprints are everywhere. It's a shame the show didn't get a 3rd season.

Well to be specific I'm from a Sunni Muslim tribal family that originated in Najd in modern day Saudi Arabia with members that settled in Qatar, Eastern Saudi, Kuwait and Bahrain. I'm from Bahrain though.

I should've clarified, I'm an Arab.

I wish I could grow an epic Bones beard,(not like I physically can't) but then everyone at home will think I got super religious and traveling will become even more of a nuisance.

Well it wouldn't be similar to GTA if you take guns or the ability to kill someone out of the equation. Besides, the way beatnic described it; it could be an action RPG. Choosing a major could be like the SPECIAL system that is used in Fallout.

Anybody remember the videogame they made for the PS1 of police's wildest chases back in the day?

I love QI! My favorite panel guest is Ross Noble. The episode where the whole panel got hung up when he said: "Toblorrone Rollo Combo" in his weird Geordie accent.

I'd like to see a GTA game set during the American-Aussie war

That seems to be the most sensible thing to show off, though I'd like to see some open world fun.

yeah but RDR and LAN were original IP's and MP3 was the first Max Payne not to be developed by Remedy, whereas GTA is R*s cash cow. I'm sure most fans knew they were going to buy this day 1 all the way back in November of 2011 without knowing anything about the game, at least I knew I would.

The smaller places earlier in the game would be purchasable regardless of how you got the money, but the bigger properties would need clean money to buy them with. That's what I meant.

I've been thinking a lot about money in the game and how that works, and I think you will have two pools of cash for each character similar to Scarface: The World is Yours; dirty money attained through heists and other illicit means, and clean money that has been laundered through a front that you own. Certain properties will only be available to purchase with laundered money and you will need to be able to have enough clean money to buy it, and this may be a home or business. Barry, in the safehouse topic earlier you said: I think you may be on to something here with some kind of real estate registry authority scrutinizing on any possible property sale with illicit cash for the more expensive properties. This would create a system where the player would spend dirty money on heist preparation and clean money on homes and businesses. Would make sense because I can't think of how else money plays such a pivotal role in this game, but maybe that's just me.
