The colour palette and saturation combined with the lighting is flawless in this game.

 

[Sullen]

Witness the arrival of the latest in lowered standards: "25fps most of the time" is now 'fine and perfectly playable.' Christ.

Hey, in five years, will 20 or 15fps be perfectly playable as well? Do we have a floor on these standards or is it open season?

I can't believe people lashing out at those who have higher standards than this. WE are not the problem.

How can you claim to have framerate standards but then also choose to game on several year old hardware at the same time?

 

[Norns]

The car handling is strange - it's like your car is fucken twerking every time you try and turn.

There's a stat for driving that improves this.

 

[Dominican Power]

Is everyone installing the play disc on a flash drive?

 

[IAmRandom31]

I am group #1 at my GameStop here. Just drove by and there are prob 80 or so in line already. I may anger some folk when I pull up at 11:58, stand near the door and wait for em to call #1 group and am out in 5 minutes.

SO HYPED!! 2 1/2 more to go!

 

[Cheddahz]

An hour and thirty minutes left...

 

[Gorillaz]

Forget all this group bullshit. I'm just rollin by at 11:50 or so to pick up my copy.

this guy gets it

my man

 

[flipswitch]

Aiming reticule is very small like a dot, makes it hard to know where you're aiming. Maybe it can be changed in options - I'll have a look.

 

[Sothpaw]

So fine and perfectly playable?

He said not ideal?

 

[Buckethead]

For me:

1. Load times
2. Frame rate
3. AA
4. Texture quality

 

[-PXG-]

Oh yeah. They doing this group stuff tonight. I guess standing in line is moot right

 

[Amir0x]

Gonna hold out for the PC version?

I don't know what other option lies before me, really. It's one thing to be mostly 30 with occasional drops to 25 here and there; from most trusted reports the game basically is mostly 25 and under with occasional jaunts to 30. I will obviously wait for more strenuous and analytical tests to be done on the framerate before saying "no" forever, but if these reports are accurate, I don't see how I can stomach it. GTAIV was bad enough.

Gonna be a loooong wait til PC version

This doesn't even make sense. Plenty of games on consoles are stable framerates; and I have a gaming level PC for when situations like this arrive. I am commenting on the situation this second because it is developing now, that's all.

 

[AlimNassor]

It's a pretty dense area(North Houston) but there are two Gamestops, a BestBuy, a Toys R Us, and a arget within spitting distance.

I hope I'll be able to get a copy after I finish my homework :3

Where bouts h-town

Neither side is a problem it's just different standards. If you're used to playing everything on PC with 60+ FPS minimum then obviously 20-25fps is going to seem horrible. If you've been mainly playing on console then this is going to be barely noticeable for you.

1) Have you played Max Payne 3
2) If so, does the shooting seem comparable?

Pretty much. I've seen such a focus on frame rate as opposed to gameplay this last year that I'm left wondering how foolish I must be to have as much fun as I did with The Last of Us, Uncharted, Max Payne, etc. 25 has always been perfectly fine for me.

Its just what you've got to live with with the current gen tech. High standards are fine but not realistic. The game wouldn't exist without the consoles... so its a make do kinda situation and the majority are more than happy to make do and appreciate the game for what it is, not what it isn't.

I've seen it be a normal crosshair on one of the reviews

How does, looks and plays better than GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption sound to you? Like I understand how it's not ideal, but if it looks and plays and is smoother than GTA IV and Red Dead, they obviously did something right.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Next week: worst game of the year, biggest disappointment of the generation.

Whoo.

A week after that- "LTTP- GTA V" threads start popping up.

 

[Colocho]

What does the blue bar in the HUD do? the green one is the health bar and the yellow one is the special ability bar.

Sounds painful. Enjoy.

Sorry haven't played MP3. I just noticed you can change shooting types in he options, from assisted aim/free aim/traditional aim. Just changed it to free aim

 

[Sothpaw]

Gonna hold out for the PC version?

For sure. Will have 60fps 1080p Watchdogs in the mean time. That said, I really am looking forward to playing GTA V in full 60fps glory.

 

[dgenx]

I bought the digital version since the disc version here in peru is like 80 bucks or more

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Body Armor?

 

[ultrazilla]

Mine is on the way via UPS!!

 

[Pollux]

Gonna get to gamestop around 1230. Just called them and only like 25-30 ppl there

 

[flipswitch]

Okay, it does appear you can change the aiming reticule to the one we had in IV in settings.

 

[MrCookiepants]

Been playing for a few hours. This game is unbelievable. It's gonna have to falter really badly to not end up being my game of the generation.

 

[MoGamesXNA]

are you guys sure there are issues? how could EVERY review site not mention it?

It's odd. It's like some GAF members are playing a completely different version of GTA V to me. I'm a third of the way through the game on the PS3 and it's been perfectly fine all the way through. There's a bit of aliasing but on the whole it looks brilliant and the controls are responsive.

It's a shame that some of you aren't enjoying the game.

I reckon R* redeemed themselves with the ps3 version. I reckon it looks ace, nothing like IV.

I agree. It's nothing like the PS3 version of GTA IV. That was horrible.

 

[leng jai]

There's a stat for driving that improves this.

God I hope so. First driving mission was awful.

 

[ViciousDS]

armor whenever you buy it or get it

 

[Psychoward]

Yeah that's what Max Payne 3 had, it was on by default in the multiplayer.

 

[Adent]

Why isn't this game available to download on 360? Now I'm thinking of going to the Bestbuy midnight opening. I don't know it might be dangerous.

 

[Loudninja]

God I hope so. First driving mission was awful.

Remember you can customize you car as well.

 

[Kentpaul]

Outstanding game. Holy fucking shit.

 

[reddmyst]

I tolerated Asscreed 3 on the PS3. Didn't really notice frame drops except for in the cities and running through it. I guess I should be okay(?)

 

[Sorta Maximus]

A week after that- "LTTP- GTA V" threads start popping up.

I'm still lost as to what LTTP stands for besides A Link to the Past...

[Storm Chamber]

And Amazon has shipped my PS3 copy.

I expect this no later thsan 12:45PM tomorrow

Don't let me down UPS!

I've gone to midnight launches for almost every big game from 2006 to now. No problems whatsoever. Always tons of store staff and just fellow gamers. Do you live in a bad area?

 

[cdkee]

Too much complaining in this thread. Bailing until I play it for myself. Peace!

i used to think it was link to the past too, because it kind of makes sense

RTTP Returning to the party

 

[Amagon]

GTAV mode is available on the Pulse wireless headset manager.

 

[Colocho]

Body Armor?

Thanks.

Watching PS3 streams only on twitch.tv

It looks great and runs great.

PS3 version coming tomorrow. oh yeeeaaah

 

[sappyday]

Yup. I bought PSN version but I doubt it's as terrible as people make it sound.
