Yeah, characters movement suffers from a lot of lag and lack of precission, you have to move your sticks all the way to get them moving. The movement reminds me of the present parts of Assassins Creed where the engine seemed a whole different one from the past parts and for the worst.
So far, played for two hours or so and the game is much more boring than IV than actually i didn´t finish for being boring...

A valid complaint.
The only negative I really have at the moment is that the controls are still far from perfect and doesn’t even feel as good as Red Dead Redemption. It can still be a pain to turn your character and tapping the sprint button really should go away. I went to the top of one of the mountains and walked right up to the ledge but fell off because my character moved forward too much even though I hardly moved the analog stick....it's all not quite as fluid as it should be even though it's still an improvement over GTA IV. Oh yeah, and whoever thought it was a good idea to map the shoot button to R2 for the PS3 version needs a slap. I changed in to R1 straight away.

It's done downloading and now installing. Please don't corrupt <3
Edit: At 20%, it'll be fine! Thank goodness.

Finally got back and am finally about to play it (installing now). Had to jump through so many god damned hoops to reauthenticate my account after changing my hdd it'd make your head spin >.>
Can't wait! 360v here. Has anyone been able to spot any differences between the skus yet, or even found the native res between the two? I'm hoping it's native 720p as my TV does a nice job scaling it vs those weird resolutions games like RDR PS3 ran at.
A man after my own heart.

Hope there is a cheat to make it permanently night time, the framerate on ps3 is so much better at night...

I have been laughing my ass off at the falling physics. Jumping into moving cars, slamming into the windshield, firing the gun still while being driven down the road, the person in the car screaming. Hilarious. I just hurdled a barrier on a second floor building but caught my foot. Sent him end over end head first into the windshield of a parked car. The person yells holy shit are you ok??? Lmao.
This game is awesome

Just bought the game. Now I just have to wait 'til this evening. Which is going to be totally easy and not painful, especially knowing that's right there, watching me.

1 gig left until install is complete, hurry hurry hurry stupid blu ray drive.
Hmm...
They must be using real shadows this time around, then. The PCv of GTA IV has the same issue when you enable the shadows (like running at a solid 60 at night then dumping to 20-30 depending on where you're looking, lol).
Yes! Download completed and finally installing. I had to pause the download and start it back up on PSN to get the damn thing moving again. Stuck at 93% for so long
Yea, exactly what I had to do. It was blazing fast getting up to 52% in 1hr then took a major nose dive. Now it has picked up to how it originally was!
I've never been hugely impressed by the satire in any GTA game. It's always lacked a certain element of subtlety.
Where I think the writing shines here comes in the character interactions. This is evident even early on, through the back-and-forths Franklin has with Lamar and others. The dialogue is consistently interesting to listen to and it's conveyed brilliantly through the very strong voice acting and, when applicable, cutscene animations.

OKay guys, I super apologize for this but I'm probably going to get the game when I have some extra funds. But I need to know which version is the best to get without looking at comparison videos.
I want to go in completely blind. I only do a media blackout for very few games -- Portal 2 and Bioshock Infinite being the most recent. It really amplifies the experience for me.
So please, let me know which version is the best and why, without including any spoiler (on other info at all, really). I'll just scroll through in a few minutes looking for replies.

I need some more time with GTA V, but at the moment RDR just seemed a little more fluid and seamless.
You feel a bit more like a tank in GTA V. It's not at all a deal breaker....but it is pretty disappointing for me.
Your image would be accurate for me as well if it said "...with Roman heads" since I'm demolishing the Roman Republic as Sparta in Total War right now all because I went to the one Best Buy that didn't have a midnight launch...lol
I wish they were open since I'm an insomniac anyway and there's nothing like the open road at night when there's no traffic there to piss you off.

hahah yeah
Another in a long line of media that seems to think smoking weed is equivalent to taking strong hallucinogens.
Went to my local Bestbuy midnight release to get my pre-ordered plain vanilla copy of GTA V (360), walked out with a special edition 360 version plus a t-shirt and some stickers:
Haha, the hype got to you. But honestly, go standard and next gen double dip later I say.
That's the best solution really. Digital Foundry confirmed that installing the play disc to a USB drive got rid of the issues they saw when both discs were installed to the HDD.
Is this 360 version?

I think it's closer to gta4 controls than max payne
The shirt and stickers were freebies: but yea I initially didn't even plan to get the game at all, GAF hype made me get the game!

The best one has to be Emilio Estevez's reaction to it in The Breakfast Club. Judging by the effect it has on him, it seems that Bender may have spiked it with crack or PCP or rocket fuel or gunpowder or... something.
Luis or Niko?
Soon, man. Soon.

So finally after a 17gb download finally installing.......
Can't wait.

360. PS3 is just a single blu-ray isn't it?

I've been replaying some GTA San Andreas on my PC this week in anticipation to GTA V. And after playing a few hours on the PS3 version yesterday, I must say that it's pretty hard to go from rock solid 60fps to sub-30. I wish I was playing a PC version of GTA V. Rockstar did wonders with the PS3, but there's only so much you can do with these old consoles. Also, is it me or are the texts tiny? It's pretty annoying to read the notifications and websites in that game, I wish there was an option to increase the size of the font. Here is another reason why it would be better on PC !
Other than that, the game is a blast to play as I expected. So far I regret the GTA IV driving model, but it's not a big deal.

So goooood, this game is going to take a while to finish lol
Played for about 2 hours so far, a few instances of pop-in during the intro but I haven't had any issues since.
