Awesome! There's tons of these tiny details which make it more fun!

After 2 street races (1v1) I thought I'd do a mugging (as you do) and found at the moment of robbin' I had no bullets left.

It's just not on for a decent fellow to be drained like this!

ok, having spent an hour or so on GTAO this morning, it seems you have to pay money out of the bank for 'health and bail' costs (checking my bank transaction log revealed this).

So each time i was killed I had to pay between 500-750 dollars per death (or life, depends if you're a half or full cup person).

I've yet to be arrested but I'm guessing you'd have to pay a similar amount for bail too.

How it differs between 500-750 probably is dependant on how you died. I got run over and that was towards the lower amount, always different amounts though. I fell to my death a few times trying to scale (and succeeded) Mount Josiah, these cost the upper amounts around 750.

As a Brit, I'm not used to paying for health care, thank goodness for NHS! and let's hope the USA-based script writers for future games also benefit from Obamacare so that we don't have to waste 500-750 dollars per life in GTA 6.

It probably depends on how much total cash you have in the bank, just like it does in single player.
Every other GTA game has taken money for healthcare or bail, it's a penalty for dieing or getting caught.
I think getting arrested also takes your weapons away

Getting arrested just takes away your ammo. I'm not sure if there's any cash taken or not.

Finally got myself on, once your in you get in every time as long as you complete the tutorial.

Got myself a 2 car garage and 2 Nissan GTR's

I tried GTAO for the first time tonight... Went through that crappy character creation screen, then the intro cutscene with Lamar, then went to start the first race...and waited... and waited... and waited... And gave up. Tried again... "The Rockstar cloud servers are currently down..."

Rockstar is issuing another patch, for both platforms, hopefully as soon as tomorrow:

I wonder what it will do... Maybe remove the need to do the tutorial and allow you to jump straight in?

wow, that sounds quick...how did you amass the cash to buy a garage and some cars?

cimt · 04-10-2013, 02:26

Probs either got the CE which gives you a free garage or got some GTA$. I know I got some just to buy an apartment.

Actually sitting on quite a bit legit earned and the GTR is free for anyone that's completed the story.

cimt · 04-10-2013, 04:48

You get one free? I've completed the story and not got it... Maybe because I have 2 saves and 1 isn't complete?

adzii_nufc · 04-10-2013, 05:49

Infact I was wrong, I assumed it was from the story but you simply need to link your social club and gamertag.

Oh, I know about that car. I've got it already, and it's a sweet ride. It's my main car.

Had a similar experience to Matt D last night.

First time trying to log on to Online since it was released.

Created my character (annoyingly the third time I have done this, also only once did it recognise the link between my PSN and the R* Social Club) and got dumped straight into a free roam lobby, floating down just behind the Vinewood sign. Nicked a car, tried to do a job or find where this first race thing was and nothing. Deposited my cash at an ATM and then got shot up by someone on a freeway. Tried to rob a petrol station, and that failed. Then everyone left, so I decided to join another lobby and then it kicked into the Lamar cutscene.

However I was able to go to the blue dot to start the race, but then it just hung waiting for other racers. About 5 minutes went by and nothing so I had to quit out completely.

I can see there is huge potential there, but they need to do a lot of work to get it stable, let alone running smoothly for all customers

The rest of the world also has this same issue. If you try at a certain time, you'll get in, for me it was around 10-11pm and once you've passed the tutorial you're in for good.
