pretty fucking awesome random encounter on the pier at the beach on the west edge of the city

Took a picture of the guy but I can't find it on the social club site. Think his name was Jesse

 

[Yoshichan]

Hahaha I wish my apartment was that nice. Man get on skype screw work!!!!

I can't man!! 1 more hour here... then I'm gonna exercise (yeah, I know... who does this shit nowadays?!) for another hour... then yet another hour to get the game from the stores... and finally, one final hour to install/shower/eat!

I'll be playing this sucker in approx. 4 hours... GOD DAMN IT THIS HYPE IS KILLING ME, FUCKFUCKUFKCUFKCUFKUCKFJIC

 

[sephi22]

You know how people are saying they took the best parts of R* games and put them in this game. They're right.

Why? THE DRIVING IS FUCKING MIDNIGHT CLUB 3 HOLY SHIT.
Franklin's ability is the sports car and bike special ability from DUB Edition. Cars and fast and fly if you you reach elevation on roads.

Why didn't anyone make this comparison before?

 

[Rebel Leader]

I thought it was okay to do it with a pen drive?!

I didn't hear about that.

Maybe posters in that thread have tried it?

 

[7he Talon]

This game is great! I wonder what easter eggs this games has.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Any word on broken Atomic Blimp codes?

EU store btw

Portions of the map remind me a lot of MC:LA too.

Stop.being.healthy and productive, not a good look man!! Gotta drink cheap as shit beer st 6 am and kill the ballers. No way out these streets homie!

 

[Screaming Meat]

I didn't hear about that.

Maybe posters in that thread have tried it?

Thanks for that, man; that thread answered all my questions!

EDIT: The pendrive thing works, by all accounts.

 

[DeadlyVirus]

Because yeah......

Hope this isn't a spoiler for anyone (not a mission btw)

 

[Dead Man]

Ah, fair enough. That's usually where all the funny stories came from for me.

Oh don't worry, I'll live, everything else seems pretty perfect at the moment, only a few missions in though.

 

[UnrealEck]

GUTTED!

My tracking says delivered but it's not here. Royal Mail have said their investigation will take 72 hours, and all Amazon can do is call them and make the same request.

No GTA for me anytime soon.

They'll probably do what I've seen them do before. Don't bother to deliver it and slip the card through your door saying they missed you.

 

[Yoshichan]

Sorryyyyyyy! I promise this won't happen for dat next HYPE game!

OG loc 300 block

Fuck with the space rangers n you get zapped. They got they guns set to lethal homie!!

Sorry I am getting retarded.

 

[flipswitch]

I'm having trouble trying to call chop. Which button do I press to take him for a walk?

I'm right next to him pressing them one-by-one and nothing happens :/.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

DF:

For unsynchronised play involving cop chases through busier segments of the city, it's common to see drops to 20fps on both platforms as well, though a clear performance leader is hard to parse out here.

Big shame.

My copy just came - installing to 360 now.

 

[SolidChamp]

Uh, anyone want to answer my question on the previous page?

[Dries]

Gonna try this again:

Can someone tell me which Steve Miller Band song is in the game? The leaks say "Rock'n Me", but the R* manual app says "Take the money and run".

excellent, glad I rolled with ps3 this time

 

[jwtsonga]

Digital Foundry Summary

PS3: better textures
360: slightly better fps (1 or 2 fps)

They gave the nod to the ps3 version because of better textures. They said the fps difference is imperceptible to the naked eye, between the 2 platforms.

 

[Nemme]

Just got my amazon.co.uk order on time for release and delivered with Super Saver Delivery in the Netherlands. Way better than the estimated delivery of 19 sep - 24 sep!

 

[Reyne]

And install finished. I fear for my grades already.

 

[DeadlyVirus]

Since all else is identical across the board, the PS3 version is recommended on the grounds of image quality if you have the option.

This is enough to throw out the window all the worries anyone had on PS3 version

 

[ironcreed]

What about when you have a weapon drawn? Does the running system change????

It told me told hold X to run in the opening segment when I had a weapon drawn, so I guess. As once I took control of an unarmed Franklin I had to tap X to run. Even so, it plays so much tighter that it is no big deal.

 

[Linius]

So the PS3 and 360 version are pretty much alike for this game.

PS3 wins this time? Color me surprised.

 

[dc89]

Wow. My mind is blown, I've just had a little giddy chuckle to myself.

So I've just drove and parked up at the beach and looked down the shore line at all the twinkling lights, the pier in the distance is amazing. Amazing, just amazing.

Yeah, it runs like silk for me so far on PS3.

 

[D4Danger]

Yey my amazon uk order turned up with the post. It only changed to dispatched last night.

 

[DeadlyVirus]

I'm not suprised, since it's not a port. Having a dual platform development really made a diference. Though I do think it must have been a real pain for the programmers

 

[NickMitch]

Just came back from my hour long lunch break where i installed and played through the intro and free roamed a little...And it feels a lot like max payne 3. In a very good way. Cant wait to play more...

 

[mekes]

Dragons Crown will be released in the UK by the time my GTAV installs. Damn slow PS3.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

Love that you can put your phone in silent mode which pauses story mode so you can just dick around.

 

[jwtsonga]

Yes it would've been a nightmare. But they are now raking it in!!!!!!!

 

[DeadlyVirus]

Yeah, it runs like silk for me so far on PS3.

I do notice a couple of framerate dips when driving at high speed in downtown, but only there

 

[Fedele]

So Amazon UK didn't let me down, amazing!

Just 6 more hours, let's do this.

 

[Acorn]

C'mon postman.

 

[red731]

C'mon tomorrow.

 

[Dabanton]

Good news that both versions are pretty close.

Game is amazing so far, I'm just sitting watching TV and seeing the traffic go past outside.

To think I still haven't even scratched the surface yet.

 

[thelurkinghorror]

C'mon life

 

[Kiraly]

This fucking game man

 

[jwtsonga]

C'mon Friday...

 

[Jindrax]

[mxgt]

[red731]

[Betty]

C'mon Friday...

It's heartening to know others can understand my pain.

Quick question: the unique character cars, if I lose them (not saving them in a garage), are they lost forever?
