Abby still struggles to play GTA.. surprised Abby has so much praise for this game when she struggles to play it so bad. Hasn't put her off it seems.

Good effort crew, battling through a very broken game.

It's amazing how similar playing with Dan is to babysitting a child. "No, honey, don't blow everything up. Honey, you have to do yr job. No, sweetie, stop shooting that corpse and go get the van!"

Abby asking Vinny if he speaks Italian jogged my mammary of his multi year attempt to play Assassins Creed 2 & 3 in Italian from way way back.

Between the Casino and The Doomsday Heist I feel like there’s a GTAO play date in the cards once RE4 finally ends.

Next week's finale should be interesting because it features a 4-person motorcycle escape....and The B-Team are the best riders in history.

The cuts between Dan's smooth 60fps and Alex sub-30 are... oh boy. Keep your frametimes low, kids.

They give the game a lot of shit, and while parts of it are deserved I do think it's important to remember that Rockstar developed this online part of the game back in the middle of the 360 era where the closest comparison to an open world multiplayer experience like this was the janky Just Cause 2 mod and that didn't have scripted missions.

I'm pretty sure if they recorded this series daily they would've probably had a much better time as they wouldn't completely forget the controls each time they played - and it's understandable that they do because while they aren't bad per-se they are weird and take a while to get used to. I played the online portion for a while every day and once you learn how it works it's pretty effortless to put on helmets and all that stuff, you just develop muscle memory for it.

Am I crazy or have I seen this intro before - I'm getting serious deja vu from the combination of too-high-to-walk Alex and the floating Boombox.

lol I think they just start pretty much every one of these videos in the same way, especially with Alex getting high. The floating Boombox has only been there once before tho.

Seems really weird and harsh to single out Abby in your comment, considering she doesn't appear to play noticeably worse than any of the other guys. But okay.

@humanity: yeah I agree, back a few years ago when I was doing these heists with friends the controls became second nature. Last week I popped back into for the first time in a long time to check out the Casino stuff and it probably took about an hour to remember how to do all the important stuff. The only thing that I'd say is truly garbage about GTA Online is its awful lobby system and the loading times for pretty much any event, it really makes doing anything feel like a slog. Also, not being able to easily transfer vehicles between properties is a weird annoyance I realized when I popped back in.

Love the crime crew :)
Good thing Vinny is holding onto money because they will need a hell of a lot of it to unlock the later additions.

Also i think we can all agree that Vinny killed himself and Dan with the rocket launcher at 41 minutes on the bridge barricade right? (i love you Vinny!)

These are hilarious. Still just absolutely love Vinny, Dan and Abby's hijinks and how the whole crew perfectly plays off each other, keeping things entertaining while still getting it done. Even if having to redo things, hey it just gives us the joy of a longer episode!

Yeah I definitely wouldn't say struggles to play. She does tend to run into fire a little more but she likes to play spicy, it's not directly a matter of ability. Beyond that, they all kind of trip over different smaller, admittedly Rockstar-y aspects of just playing the game.

My real pet peeve is the crew's outright refusal to heal most of the time. I know they know about the consumables refilling health. I've seen them do it and heard them talk about it. I don't know if they're all just constantly forgetting it or simply ignoring it in favor of more thrilling content but it lowkey drives me up a wall when they're like "Uh oh, my health is super low. Let me hang back til it refills a little. Oops someone shot me! Sorry for dying!" It can't be that they're all out of them when they never use them.Then again these missions are almost too easy when you do heal so maybe it's better they don't.

The crazy thing is that Dan keeps trolling, even though every time, the true troll is the game itself. I'm glad they're having fun, but XD. Oh well. Almost done
