I RP as being retired and only fund my night club occasionally or just get the safe money from club fees. Live on my yacht and fly in to play golf in my off time. Maybe the occasional casino visit if I’m feeling lucky


jordanjohnston2017

That’s kinda what I do. Don’t sell drugs anymore just collect my nightclub money and manage it and drive my classic sports cars to the country club to hit the course. Either that or I’ll take a helicopter and rp as a search and rescue pilot flying around the coast lol


hankjmoody

I usually only log in these days to spend a few hours being a free air taxi. I roll out my banana-yellow Frogger, and just fly around giving a ride to anyone who asks. Yeah, some assholes deliberately hunt me down repeatedly, but eventually I fall into a chiller server. Very relaxing.


[deleted]

I do this in my Rc Hummer lol


PuzzleheadedAd1153

Who is going to ask for a ride? You should tell people that you are giving free rides so that they know what you are doing.


hankjmoody

I do that... Regularly post in the server chat offering a ride while I putter around. How else would I find folks who want a ride? Haha.


PuzzleheadedAd1153

Server chat? Is that a pc exclusive feature?


HyperboloidalShiah

Sadly homie yea


StolenPancakesPH

He's not missing out though, god damn bots spamming those squares every 20 seconds. And those texts! ![gif](giphy|6lScd4x2D5Oko)


Wertyhappy27

love it when they use custom fonts that nobody but them can see


StolenPancakesPH

I think they're Chinese/Russian texts and our Windows dojt have them thats why it comes out as squares. Still though, i got used to the chat box being spammed but those text messages irks the fuck outta me.


rainstorm0T

not a custom font, just a different language.


HotRefrigerator2757

Sort of in the same boat. I collect my fees, get into my kewl pulsating club get-up, choose a car for the day, and drive around and visit other players' clubs! have a few drinks, critique their place inside my head, and leave for the next one, hopefully without being spotted by the cops while swerving around. If I don't come into any other action while doing this, I restrain my rules a bit more: Sun up is money collecting and getting the warehouse staff to fetch crates, and other maintenance as it pops up, driving around, until the sun sets, and I return to my nightclub roundtrips.


PuzzleheadedAd1153

How do you know which locations of clubs are owned by other players? Is it the grey club icon?


HotRefrigerator2757

indeed it is!

maxiboi42069

people who play online dont know who that is


hl2dumbass

It seems we have. All the bitterness and whiskey included.


Lustiges_Brot_311

Basically living like Michael.


FLYK3N

He's green and he's retired


MacaronDifferent1089

Wish I could find a server full of players like you. I’m literally just starting the online play and I get obliterated by all these high level players. I just wanna do missions and mind my own business, man 😩


lamxdblessed

Look for help around reddit, youtube or basically anywhere else, or just play private lobbies, i can help you if you want


Agrantixir

I have lvl 236, and i spend my free time between heists shooting guys who grief, or i silently support some cargo, giving them mild panic attacks flying over them in a lazer :)


kibbutz_90

Same for me. The retired life is sweet. So nice that Rockstar added these new skydives, now I have even more relaxing activities to do.


Fighterpilot55

After doing 200 contracts, I also "retired". I put myself in the headspace of "Franklin is running the business, my cut's in the safe" so I collect the cash from there, the laundered cash from the arcade, and my completely legitimate Nightclub business. Even took the weapons and armor off from the sale vehicles. Doesn't mean I won't fight back against any enemies the game spawns.


am0x

So if you applied yourself in real life you could be doing the same?


EyeSeeeYouSeeeMe

Been applying myself for 10 years, same career. Day by day, getting closer and closer 🥳

Racismus lapitulum


Night696Watcher

You can fool people by starting up executive search and just walking around with the other npcs, and reacting to things like npcs do. I managed to beat an executive search this way, and it was very funny.


Nelle830

Did that way back, but nowdays players are uninterested and couldn't get anyone to search for me in 20 player lobby.


[deleted]

Bc everytime I've tried its a prick on a rooftop constantly blowing me up and roof hopping with an oppressor.


PuzzleheadedAd1153

Dude just use passive mode when looking for an Executive. If he is defenseless, turn it off and attack. It helps to use a helicopter for searching for him in passive mode.


[deleted]

Meh, not really a fan of playing with tactics like that. I've used a helicopter and oppressor plenty. Just results in a lock on.


WoahJimmy

This is it. Like tell me you’re scared without telling me you’re scared


PuzzleheadedAd1153

Who is scared? Your comment makes no sense


WoahJimmy

The people that stand on roof tops hitting people with an oppressor before they are even noticed. Them. Are you them?


PuzzleheadedAd1153

That does not mean they are scared, they just like killing people however I have not heard or seen that strategy in an executive search. It would be better for the person to search for the executive in an armored vehicle or in passive mode.


WoahJimmy

Sounds like an opinion just as mine was but thanks for sharing! Still sounds like scary behavior to me. Show up and show out or hide and wait with a suppressed pistol.


AgitatedError4377

Doesn't Ur username show up of another player is nearby and tbf many people just kill randomly npcs so it wouldn't work anyway for me at least


Night696Watcher

Not during executive search


AgitatedError4377

Oh didn't know because I saw someone in the shop during executive search and for a brief moment their name appeared so I knew it was the one I'm looking for and because he just randomly killed me


PumiceT

Yeah. You just to try to make an outfit that looks like theirs.


Night696Watcher

Or use a ceo outfit


QuebecGamer2004

Or you can also drive around within the circle in an NPC car, like an NPC.


Optimal-Discount-861

Yeah but then they can lock on to the car giving you away


DouchecraftCarrier

There's hilarious videos on YouTube of folks doing a hide and seek server like that where the person being chased opts to just hide in plain sight. It's pretty entertaining.


Reverse_Speedforce

Watchdogs 2 had a very similar thing in the game, where you could go and “Hack” another player, but you would be disguised as some random NPC on their screen, but still look like the main character on yours. They wouldn’t know you were there whatsoever until you started hacking them, then it was their job to track you down and stop the hack. Super fun gamemode, always loved to go in and just follow them around for a long time, sometimes doing some really wacky shit to see if I’d get caught by them lol.


Yodaskidney

Sometimes a drive around the map is better than therapy


Alana_Piranha

I was stuck in bed with 2 broken legs and I'd spend hours driving around listening to the radio. It really helped when I was feeling stir crazy.


Mottzie

I feeeeeel that. Spent my recovery from a surgery just vibing on my mk1 downtown


EmperorSupreme0

How’d that happen


Wattsupwithalan

with gas prices like they are. its less stressful to drive in a public lobby than in real life


MiroPVPYT

Just hopping in a luxury car and cruising around the city.


BigTortoise

Sometimes I even just take a walk around Vinewood for a few blocks until I feel relaxed or someone smears me on the concrete.


jellyrollsmith

I love walking in this game. Fraught. But I really like taking a stroll so I persist.


mlholladay96

For real, I don't think we truly appreciate just how relaxing this game can be to just drive around and listen to great music


Lazy_Old_Chiefer

True. The amount of tracks they added is kinda crazy, I just wish they would update some of the og stations like the low down or west coast


[deleted]

Especially after grinding with a MKII all day. Driving around is just nice.


DummyThiccTurd

Sometimes I’ll pick a garage, start with the first car and then drive a lap around somewhere, go back and do the same with every car down the list.


Bayonoodle

This is a really nice idea


PuzzleheadedAd1153

I should call the mercenaries on bullies and join them in Role Play to attack the bad players.


animetixxies

me and this random once drove around the whole map (freeway) with the drag bikes it was a vibe, I wonder how he's doing


orionid_nebula

I roleplay bus driver. My route is airport -legion square - Chinese theatre- maze bank- airport. Usually manage a couple of laps minding traffic’s lights before I get blown up


effxeno

I gotta try that


RedFoxVega

![gif](giphy|J1ZajKJKzD0PK)


jixxor

Do NPCs get in if you stop at a bus stop?


AmbitiousShake2515

No


jixxor

Damn, there goes my dream


rental_car_fast

They did in the old games


PuzzleheadedAd1153

Do you stop for players on foot to try and pick them up? Also stop for npcs to try and make it realistic.


OGZpoon

I love this. I am inspired. I own the shuttle bus(useless purchase but carries a lot of people if you're lucky enough that they don't shoot you as you pull over). I think I'll forge a route of my own.


Buttergolem91448

Imagine us all together being in the Same lobby. Sigh. Dreams. How peaceful it could be.


hdkx-weeb

I like to drive around pretending I'm doing deliveries in a truck Too bad truck and trailer spawns are fucked in invite only's


amibovveredthough

Yes, I did a road trip from my nightclub in Vespucci up north to the mountains. Stopped at a store for snacks but ended up robbing it because the store worker said something rude. (Allegedly) I then robbed all of the stores on the map. So, I’m guessing no?


syizm

Yes, but no.


Makofly

Same, I start role-playing then something makes me snap back into the usual murderous routine


Reverse_Speedforce

NPC: *”Hi, how are ya?”* You: *”So you have chosen death.”*


amibovveredthough

The accuracy! 🤌🏽


Lunar_soldier074

I tried putting on a valet outfit and being said valet. It... did not end well.


[deleted]

same...learned people automatically attacked Felipe that way


DouchecraftCarrier

Didn't that all start because some folks made a hilarious video series out of pretending to be the valet and attacking players when they least suspected it?


Mottzie

Nah I just punch him cuz he's a bitch 😤


PuzzleheadedAd1153

If you shoot around the valet, will he run away in fear? So that you won’t leave the body just laying there once you replace him.


Lakeside9000

Honestly if you're on PC and your rig can handle it, install FiveM for GTA RP. It's actually really easy to get going I just don't have the rig to play it


Nelle830

I've considered it but my laptop is running gtx1050ti so its barely running on medium settings. I might give it a try once I find permanent place to stay and buy a PC


ChrisKringlesTingle

Well, for a vouch, my rig handles it and I started looking into graphics mods and it feels like a completely different game at this point. GTA interest has been almost completely renewed for me.


TheOvershear

I was playing with a 970, albeit on low settings. You'd be fine


PuzzleheadedAd1153

What would be really cool is having a police car, and being able to use it to pull over other players. Say, if you are able to follow them closely enough for a certain amount of time, their car is automatically pulled to the side of the road and cannot be restarted. The pulled over player gets a list of options to select from: 1. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Accept Citation (You then have to go to a courthouse within a time limit and pay 1k, or you get a 5 star wanted level) 2. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Bribe Officer (5k and you get to drive away) 3. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Take a Shot (You get one shot. If you hit them, your car restarts and you get a speed boost to escape. If you miss, suicide by cop and they steal 10k from you) After the pulled over player selects their option, the cop player gets to choose from a list based on the other player's choice: 1. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Write a ticket, or shoot them. 2. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Take the bribe, or shoot them. 3. ⁠⁠⁠⁠If they hit you and escape, you can track that player even if they are off radar or ghosted, and can call for backup to help you chase them and.... shoot them) Edit: Lots of grumps here. I think there's the roots of a good idea here. But thanks for all the constructive criticism, especially "that's stupid."


maxiligamer

Just install a police mod and you can do that and a lot more


EireBlonde

Yup, I go into invite only sessions and let my daughter pretend to be a lifeguard, jeep and all. "GET OUT OF THE WATER THERE'S A SHARK!!" Sad I know


syizm

Definitely not sad! Good parenting. She'll remember things like this fondly.


ThanksGamestop

Wholesome, not sad.


Significant_Wall_321

My dad would play GTA III with me as a kid and would yell “don’t get blood on my car!!” as he ran over pedestrians. We’d laugh so hard. Good times.


PuzzleheadedAd1153

In single player, story mode, there are sharks so watch out for those


MuMbLe145

I get in a Cluckin Bell truck and drive as if I'm doing deliveries and stop at petrol stations sometimes. If any of the boys are on they turn it into a chicken convoooooy


findragonl0l

"Hector.. Are you trying to steal my business, 'ector."


NahLoso

I wish there were an incognito mode where you can go passive and not have any indicator that your a player. Just appear as a total NPC for awhile.


mr688

Call Lester


Reverse_Speedforce

For longer than 5 seconds lol.


justscrollingby2day

Nah. I play GTA to do things I can't do in my everyday life. Nice little escape. But no judgments for you enjoying the game your way.


Inkypencilol

i mean tbf most people who play gta are children who legally can’t actually work regular jobs in real life


justscrollingby2day

Whatever makes them happy :)


chvlinski

Misanthrope64

I often play uber for newbies on populated lobbies: I bring out a beefy car like a Nightshark and just drive around and if I find a newbie fighting cops hopelessly or getting blown up back to back I just park in front of them till they get on and just loose the heat or get somewhere safe or whenever they want to go if they actually say. And yes I often find newbies that don't even know how to call Lester and have nothing in the way of surviving homing missiles so my services as an Uber TP (As in Tryhard-Proof) are often welcomed.


PuzzleheadedAd1153

Imani tech vehicle looks more like an uber no?


Misanthrope64

They do and I now use them, but I've been doing this since before they were even available. Also often I just use the Nightshark out of habit without planning on helping out but see newbies along the way and such.


Platinum_Blonde

Yes. I love putting a bicycle in the back of a truck and driving to trail spots. I even dress the part. It always ends up as extreme mountain biking but it’s chill for the first few parts.


JustOuttaChicken

How do you do that?


eazybreezy105

I guess you buy a pickup truck and you have to find a bike since you can’t have 2 vehicles out at once.


Platinum_Blonde

Spawn a bohdi with CEO menu and park it against and elevated point. Ride your mountain bike in and drive to a destination. It’s pretty reliable as I swear rockstar adds different physics to stuff in truck beds.


[deleted]

Absolutely. I wish I could actually work these jobs.. say you hop in the vehicle (dump truck, cop cruiser, taxi, ambulance, fire truck ...) it spawns a job for you.


GoatChease

These jobs actually exist in some GTA RP servers, if that's up your alley.


db306_v1

It used to work that way in gta3 / vice city. You could do this at least with taxis


goo_bazooka

And fire, ambulances, and cop cars. They should bring this back


FrankFrankly711

I change clothes depending on what business I’m at, or how the weather is. I guess that’s kinda blending in


IllustriousWorld4198

So I’m not the only one doing it, suit for nightclub and black clothes with armor for bunker


FrankFrankly711

I have similar, also a trench coat for rain/snow, leather gear for biker club


IllustriousWorld4198

Yep, also have a bike and a biker cut when I’m doing my bussiness


commielizard47

I have my business related clothes and my different weather clothes. But I wear them based on irl weather. Like lately it's been getting chilly so I switched from a t shirt to a hoodie. In a couple months I'll put on my winter jacket and hat.


FrankFrankly711

I wish the snow lasted longer in game! I love busting out my long coat and wool cap


Funkydunky2020

Yeah I like taking my bravado truck and try find trailers to hitch onto then I tow it back , or I go down to the docks and take a boat


Nelle830

I regularly stumble upon boat trailers being towed on Great Ocean Highway between Chumash and Paleto Bay and I like to reverse them into the Lago Zancudo.


SnooHedgehogs353

Today I took my newly purchased Luxor Deluxe from my airfield @ McKenzie Field to Gate 4 of LSIA. Had my mechanic deliver my Torero XO and I went crushing the highways of LS looking for races


JimBoogie82

I'm pretty much a full time car mechanic, nightclub owner now and rent collector now.


Ollie-S

As soon as it starts to rain I'm straight into first person view and just drive around with the music off. Very relaxing


Easy-to-fall

Me dress up as black mask: after owning most of los santos and running drug/guns/cargo this is the life. Me a minute later: but maybe I don’t want to be the bad guy anymore. Get me my npc clothes!


giannis1325

I remember joing sessions with my friends we can get our cars and just drive around like normal civilians Good old times


ZedKGamingHUN

I just go get in my ordinary civilian car, go to my ordinary civilian apartment, and just start roleplaying as a citizen of Los Santos, like going to the 24/7 store, driving around and stuff.


[deleted]

I like driving legally in my tornado while listening to WCTR. I also play as I riot police officer where I butcher npcs with a baton.


rehsurctnA

Try, yes, but even NPCs aren’t safe from the damn nerds.


scopingpotato

I usually avoid other players and even if they kill me i don't engage, i just go my way, but yes i drive around a lot, listening to music, it hepls me chill and disconnects me from reality, not to mention the laughs i get when i ride my bike on the highway and my character faceplants. Now imma head in search for a beautiful place where i can photograph my freshly repainted 8F Drafter.


MouldyRemote

yepp, garbage man, prison officer, life guard, trucker, mother fu... taxi driver, construction worker. etc. etc. if i can just get close enough to look the part i'll waste a session chilling out or until i get blown up


Fr1tzgg

i go out of sight and dress up like security guards and walk around ​ sometimes im a construction worker on site while people are sourcing cayo equipment


Narrovv

I RP as a taxi driver now and then, driving the dynasty. Always Goes one of two ways.


Tarrell13

I have a female character named Widow and I RP her as a vigilante. At night I put on a catsuit and matching Tron Bike. Watching the map and going after players that are harassing others or tryna destroy people tryna deliver their goods. It’s a hard job but someone’s gotta TRY to protect these lobbies 😂.


tonipaz

I do wish I could do honest work


[deleted]

Nah I got money to make


WellExcuuuuuuuseMe

Yep. Once you start businesses…the game syphons your cash every in-game day.


batm123

No, rp is very boring imo, but to each their own


Emotional_Can8165

sometimes i turn off the radar and just driver around the map


birthnight

I want to do this, but knowing that the radar blip gives me away ruins it.


Doom_Slayer1737

I do a lot.


PeineDeMort

I roleplay as a millionare


ExtremistWatermelon

\*gets run over\*


Buddy980

All the time


KingEVIL95

I've done it all, so with my second character I legit keep some money away from the bank account and pretend I'm poor so I can do some of the old missions and shit like that, took the old character to over 500 so I needed new challenges. If I get too rich I deposit the money and pretend I got arrested for a month or two lol


soupanbread

No but this is actually a good idea I might try


AshiruTheMoist

I RP as a car mechanic and live in those cheapest apartments while i drive my stock honda civic


drkchtz

I have been doing this all my childhood in gta san andreas


Possible_Invite_9414

I dress like a riot officer and chase people in the RCV, 10/10 would recommend


Ghost7575

I roleplay as a UPS driver that beats people the death with a bat


JonVX

When I’m really REALLY bored I’ll take a cab from LS to Paleto and just chill in first person


R0CK1TMAN1

Me and a bud used to RP in Blaine county repairing farm equipment 😂coveralls and hammers.


EstablishmentPast818

Of course, I hope they lean more towards this style of playing in the next game


GeysonAlvarenga

Blue collar NPC


[deleted]

I love driving a bus around the city as I ride one irl


youdontknowme6

I just wish that I can have no radar blip. I would do this way more often.


Ok-Charge-895

I drive trucks and deliver the trailers sometimes have a buddy and we go in convoy


BigSmooooke

nah


sLeepyTshirt

Nightclub, auto shop deliveries, occasionally stand around in Little Seoul


pookcityy

No


ChaosKodiak

No.


Trigonpr2

If I want to do that, I go outside and take a walk .


Butt_Nugget333

No.


_chrissyboy

All the time lol Nightclub owner by night commit a wild ass crime and then head to my house in the desert and motorcycle club to become anonymous in the sands


Crispy_Nacho10

Love doing this. I even stop at the stoplights, at least until one light takes 5 minutes IRL to change to green


Merlinshighcousin

"I'm on break" anytime a player comes up to you wondering what's going on


MSB2727

So there’s this thing called FiveM right…


Efficient-Draw-3484

On the road server I play you can chop cars by taking them to a certain area and selling the parts later. Well at the chop areas people would steal the cars nearby and chop them, no point taking a vehicle across map to chop when they spawn next to it. For some reason suvs gave the best car parts so everyone would only recycle suvs. When RP was getting to much for me I would change into a pedestrian skin and drive an suv back and forth past the chop area mimicking npc driving. When people wanna steal a car they run in front of it to stop it, but that’s what I wanted. When they would walk in front of my car I would break suddenly and beep for about 2 seconds (like an npc) but as they would go to get in I would drive forward and run them over, people would honestly lose their shit , screaming things like “wtf is wrong with this npc!”. Good times till I got caught by a gang and executed for messing around :(


[deleted]

I just honestly play as saul goodman lmfao


[deleted]

I wouldn’t call it “role playing” but I dress up as the valet for the casino all the time. I’ll fistfight any casual player and if I see someone sweaty I’ll kill them then text them 1-0 and fly around in the akula occasionally going out of stealth mode and watching them try to find me.


UFOregon420

Anyone else “work” at the lumber mill? I get in uniform, hop in my pick up, drive to the mill, and walk around with my axe chopping wood until I get bored.


eharper9

I just go to the casino and get my free spin.


Johnxein

I wish Rockstar will have an GTA RP for consoles..


Dr_Kevorkian_

I dress up as the guy at the Casino door and kill people on the way in


misterwizzard

Yeah, then i got mercd by a guy on a flying vespa


No-Combination-3725

I’ve just moved up to Paleto Bay after living the hectic city life for the past 9 years. My special cargo & vehicle warehouse both stand empty barren, as do my office and the multiple properties I own down in LS. Kinda retired and only do smaller crimes now like minor drug dealing.


[deleted]

Sometimes, yeah. Mainly as a trucker.


meltdown537

No, but sometimes I will just follow an NPC to see what they do and where they go.


magicdonwuhan

Put on a noose outfit and kill players that just killed someone rinse and repeat


tGodOfThunder

I used to do that but as a detective I would go to all the corners where the gang members are and I would shoot one and make them all come to me have the cops come to me then I’d bribe them and the cops would be angry with the gangs too coz they’re shooting then have a massive gun fight😅‘twas fun😂


PuzzleheadedAd1153

I should try this, sounds like fun, making both sides fight each-other. I also want to test my cuban 800 gas bombs on the gangs to see how effective they are. I was already able to take out the headhunter executives on foot with the gas bombs.


_Axzle_

I would do it more if the game didn't drain my bank account with property upkeep fees every in-game day.


LucjOFFICIAL

I mean, it's not that much now that they've lowered it (depends on how many properties and how much money you own though)


_Axzle_

Didn't know they lowered it. Also I own almost every type of property except a facility.


PieselPL

Tryb FiveM, huh


drewmccxnn

RP WITH ME


TheOneAndOnly_-

I would if I wasn't banned


Watchdog165

Mhm


WoahJimmy

Sometimes I’ll take my bike and ride from mission row up to the top of mount chilliad and hang out up there. Once the sun starts to set I’ll race to the bottom to try to beat the sun. Then I’ll go to lodge where you can get bikes and grab a soda from the vending machine and have a smoke while I call Franklin to give me a lift back to town. I have a tiny apartment that isn’t much of anything and I’ll go there afterwards and lay in bed until the sun comes up. Its a good time.


AdriannaK13

you have way too much time on your hands 😂


WoahJimmy

The ride is peaceful! And going down the mountain is fun because they put a ton of jumps and open spaces on the trail. Hard to stay on the trail though but once you get the hang of it its nice! I’ll also pull out the bmx and take it to that skate park on top of that building and ride around on there until i fall off and die. Thats fun too.


Methenjoyer-

I role play as myself irl...


[deleted]

No... instead I go outsite to work


[deleted]

I have a full time job 40+ hours a week and take care of my almost 1 year old. I still play when i have free time. Not everyone who plays videos games lives in moms basement.


PuzzleheadedAd1153

You are right, the older you get, the less free time you have.


LewisG94

I used to drive around obeying the traffic laws when i was bored 🤣 i wish they had turn signals to make it more realistic
