Ugh, probably a sign it's time to hop out of the thread and let my interpretation be uncoloured by the rest of the site.

Console game with customisable controls in 2013? Surely you jest. I'm just thankful they let you use R1 for shooting.
So you can ride cabs like you could in GTAIV?
Can anyone explain how the garage works? I was under the impression that if I park a car in there and take it out for a spin later I don't have to return it to the garage to keep it. But now it seems it doesn't work that way
It would be a pain if I have to go back to the garage everytime after a drive to save cars.
No one?
Sorry man, I don't have a clue, I just keep jacking new cars.

Quick question; Can we listen to the radio outside of the car?

There are 3 garages you can buy - one for each character.
Will work as you expect in these.
Not seriously meant, just a very relaxed existence sitting waiting for the laundry in the middle of the day.
Nvm.

I let it download over night and got to play for about 15 minutes before work (I was late)
I didn't experience any of the claimed PSN problems floating around. I got through the whole opening scene and up to Franklin and didn't see any pop in or graphical glitches. Not really sure why some people are having issues with that

Oh thank god. I might actually get this, then.
FINALLY! I know there's a million of these already posted but BOOYAH!!
Was speaking to the manager when I was there (a GAME store in the UK) I asked how the midnight launch was, I couldn't go myself due to no transport. He said they took £20K, at £45 a copy, with some £60 special editions, that works out at about 400 people who were there :|
Oh and there were people queued up from 5pm yesterday, the shop didn't shut till 8!
Oh and he also said, a local supermarket (Asda) had a midnight launch, there was a queue waiting for hours all the way around it, bear in mind this is a big place, so probably a hundred people if not more. A woman came out and told the first 12 people to come in, the rest needed to go home because they had only 12 copies. How stupid is ASDA! They probably thought a couple people would turn up, idiots.

Hmm, too bad you have to return cars to one of these garages then. Guess I'll just resort to stealing new cars all the time. Too much effort to park cars in a garage all the time

On Xbox its RB I think. I did have some issues getting that to work and had to sort of walk around the backyard like a transient before it would 'click' and he would follow.

So FUCKING bumbed. My work schedule for today was change on me 6pm last night, had to wake up to go in for work today at 3AM, so not only did I have to bail on the midnight release, but I haven't yet played it. I now have to wait until I'm home this afternoon.
I could use some cheering up.

You have to park them there once.
If you trash it a new one will be waiting for you in your garage.
At least i think so.
PS3 or 360 version you are running, and what version of game and console? Yes, we have come to that stage.

This game man. Wow. It is so overwhelming because you got so much stuff you can do from the get-go. Game runs smooth as silk for me on the PS3 and I still got a Phat one from 2009.
Going back in!

Yeah, been pressing every button, doesn't seem to do anything. I'll give it another go tomorrow. Maybe it's a bug.
Nope, can't seem to find such an option.
Am I the only one who constantly take pictures with the in-game phone? How can I upload them to Social Club/Facebook?
Dont worry mate I have to wait 2 days 16 hours.....
Well that was what I was thinking. So I took a nice car out for a drive to test it. I just drove it somewhere downtown and parked it. In a real parking spot, not in the middle of the street. Then jacked another car to drive back to the garage. When I got there the car which I parked somewhere downtown wasn't in my garage. I hoped it would work that way that it would beam itself back to the garage.

Cheer up! At least you have a job!
There are close to 5 million people in my country who doesn't have a job.
I'm actually really enjoying the narrative stuff so far and the character switching is really slick.
I like how characters become soaked after entering a pool of water complete with accurate water line (ie - standing waist deep results in wet trousers). I also appreciate how the characters leave puddles behind them after walking back on dry land. Very cool detail.
Also, the wavy tube man is beautifully animated.

Anyone else have a problem with the PS3 version where the game will lock up the system up and the audio continues to play? Happened 2-3 times and the only solution is to reset the system. Pretty annoying. Might be an issue with the loading because every time it happens, all the textures are low resolution and the LOD models persist even when you get close to them.

The pop station is so good. West End Girls, The Rhythm of the Night and 1 Thing were inspired choices.

I really enjoyed the first mission of Michaels, the game really picked up for me there. Well I say picked up, but sheesh, barely touched it but yeah, good vibes. Reminded me of a Michael Bay movie minus explosions.

i don't think garages have ever worked like that in gta, sure you're not confusing this with saint's row?

Yeah driving and shooting feels like a step backwards to me compared to IV, it wasn't great there but it struck a nice balance between difficulty and encumbrance. I'm glad the bullet time is seemingly optional for driving. I'm not a huge fan of the new radio dial either. Breaks the flow of gameplay to me but I'm sure it will have its fans.
Overall the feeling I get is that they took some of the criticism of GTA IV to heart, especially the narrative dissonance stuff. It can feel a little forced at times but the character's intentions are in line with the way I'm (role) playing them so far.
It wasn't persistent in previous GTAs afaik. But I used to keep a save with a good selection of cars. Every time I load up to play I have some there.

Won my first street race with Franklin. Only took me 7 tries. I'm starting to like the handling now...well not finding them as bad as they were earlier on.
Just found out earlier you can't take out weapons in certain interiors.
yep, I tried to rob an hairdreser store because it only had three cuts for michael.
