Grand Theft Auto V |OT| It's Time To Go Home

First impressions:
-IQ is absolutely dreadful.
-Driving is really enjoyable. So glad they ditched the more realistic driving mechanics of GTAIV. Maneuvering through traffic is actually fun again.
-Character switching is now essential for all GTA games moving forward. Love it.
-They recaptured LA to a tee. The highways, the neighborhoods, the buildings, the atmosphere, just about everything. Well, maybe not the traffic.
-Cinematic camera angles during chases. A nice damn touch.
It's really not.
I'm curious, how high is the sharpness turned up on your TV?
You obviously game on PC for a reason - because 25-30fps bothers you, along with popin etc. I honestly don't know what you were expecting.
My advise - Just wait for the PC release.

Can you turn auto-aim off when driving? I hate auto aim and was quite handy with the GTA IV drive-shooting.

I haven't compared it to anything. Only my 20 years of playing video games. And plenty of open world games on both consoles and PC. The pop in hasn't been that noticeable to me, at all, and I have been mostly a PC gamer since 2011.
I think some people just love to nitpick stuff. I'm gonna enjoy the game, you guys talk about IQ all you want.

It is.
Jaggies everywhere and jarringly bad pop-in. I'm playing it on a Spyder calibrated monitor, so sat quite close, but the IQ is bad. There is no way round that.
He's probably coming from PC.
Just the default settings with Game Mode turned on. Jaggies are painfully distracting outdoors.
You're right. I was just playing Arma 3 before I picked up my copy.

I got a 16GB Cruzer Blade on order.You don't happen to know the read/write speeds on it (or, indeed, how to find out)?

This game is just too good.
Maybe, but you really have money for anything only after beating the game, so it's kinda pointless.

For me personally its a huge step back from GTA4. There is almost no suspension in the cars.. The crashes are less spectacular because it feels like its missing the physics from GTA4. I tried to get launched thru the windshield and could not succeed. You can basicely go flat out without worrying about crashing.

Glad I took this entire week off. Baby is at daycare. Wife is at work.
It's 5 o Clock somewhere! Even if it is 10:18AM here...

The content is overwhelming.
I understand peoples concerns about framerate (it's much better at night). But it's not a deal breaker. Amazing game so far.

30 hours seems to be the consensus if just barrel through.

Can you "clear" all the random events, or will they continue to repeat as long as you're free roaming?
You obviously have a higher baseline that graphics need to meet compared to us people that game on console, you should of just waited patiently for the PC release.
Aiming and driving are just janky for me. I feel like I'm fighting the controls rather than the enemies or the traffic. The first car you use in the first mission felt like it was driving on ice, too. Any tiny movement sent it spiraling around. Aiming still feels weird and clunky like GTA IV did. I feel like the fact that they still have their weird auto aim shit in it acknowledges that they know it doesn't feel right.
The game default on a lot of TVs have sharpness levels fairly high, try turning it down.

Yup. Controls, jaggies, noticeable frame rate drops during the day, and muddled textures. Just look at car damage. It's disappointing as fuck.

There's several versions of it, with all of them pretty subpar.

Looks like you are well prepared.
I admit I made him look like Tom Cruise in Collateral as my first job.

IQ is bad and I have sharpness turned down to 0
I don't know what PC gamers coming to the console version of GTA V were expecting. 6 year old hardware.
GTA V jaggies etc is normal.
Sleeping Dogs on console has it
RDR has it
<insert any open-world game on console here> has it
Hell you don't even have to limit it to open world games.
This is nothing new

Yeah, given the scale and ambition it's pretty amazing what they pulled off on such ancient hardware. Sure enough, I would have prefered a PC version as well, but I can still enjoy a game as well-made as this.

get your snow weather on y'all!!!!! Finally snow in GTA
There was snow in Liberty City Stories
Hell, I was thinking how improved they are even from Red Dead. Everything feels tight and smooth, the camera is not a wonk-fest, and the driving has been refined to the sweet spot. I love how it plays.

This is what happens when you set your expectations for a seven year old console as high as a current PC. This game or any game for that matter that is released on these consoles are going to show their age. If you cannot accept that fact, then it is best that you wait for the PC release. It just boggles my mind that so many people had such unrealistic expectations for a game released on seven year old hardware (which was not even that great when it was released).

I still wish they would add a " camera lock " feature while driving. So you could set it to a certain point, then lock it down so it doesn't move.
Anyone else finding it fun to drive around in cinematic mode? heh. It gets tricky here and there, but love the angles.
