This game, man. This fucking game.

I live in Los Santos now.

 

[Revolutionary]

Ha! Ran into a distressed passerby that begged for help w/ something at a nearby home. Pulled out my pistol and was ready for the ambush. Can't fool me with that shit!

 

[malfcn]

Got my copy in the mail from BBY. The case was somehow bent almost in half.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

That first heist mission in the jewelry store is amazing.

Can't wait til we start hitting banks...

 

[naku]

How do people make money in this game? Stock Exchange? Missions? Like I need a shit ton of money for car tuning and such, but I barely have 10,000 bucks.

 

[Nappuccino]

They are, but they are still pretty fucking floaty and unresponsive at times. Car control is so much better though.

I haven't had much time to sit down and play yet, but car control feels really weird. I feel like I'm both over and understeering the whole time.

 

[Atsumi]

Anyone who ordered from Amazon receive it? Mine still says "in transit" but from my local UPS facility.

Mine's "Out for Delivery" at the moment. Annnny second now.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

Well damn, I loved the melee in the game, until both Franklin AND Michael just changed their attacks on their own?! What was melee with pushing kicks and straight rights, it then became slow looping hooks. What the hell? I would have thought that the more I fight, the better they get, not worse!

 

[Heimbeck]

Nothing screwed, but waiting for tomorrow too. Lets feel that feel together.

I contacted amazon and they said I gotta wait until 7PM
They'll probably just say they are sorry and that's it but I'm not going to use them for a while.

 

[Derrick01]

Wow the sound and music in this is crazy low. I think it might be using surround due to the speakers I use even though I don't have them set up like that. How do I turn that off on PS3?

 

[SuperSonic1305]

the CE DLC is going for over $100 on ebay. Ridiculous.

 

[otakuderek]

Ah a fellow Hampton Roads Gaffer. Nice

Norfolk, VA, United States 09/17/2013 6:56 A.M. Out For Delivery

So there is a Hampton Roads GAF! Got the game at midnight. Played until around 4am EST. this game is excellent. All the missions I have played so far were great.

Spoiler

I enjoy the tow truck missions the most for some reason.

Why you no have headset.

Dude, I bought the Pulse Implosion Elite just for this game. Not fucking around.

 

[Nyx]

Yup, now it's finally time to go home.

And play GTA V! Whoo hoo!

 

[DukeBobby]

Are you playing on a monitor or tv? Monitors dont tend to upscale as well.

Yep, monitor.

 

[Cheddahz]

Oh yeah guys!

 

[JetSetRadio]

Played a couple missions, cruised around, awesome.
Tennis is AWFUL though, almost couldn't believe it.
I hope the other activities are way better.

 

[ezekial45]

Is this game giving PS3 phat owners any issues? I heard there were some problems for people. I'm still running on a MGS4 ps3 console, I don't want to have any problems.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

what's the story with the online, is that coming later? I would investigate myself but the fucking mailman is a shitbag.

I'm another member of Hampton Roads GAF. Norfolk as well.

Just watched a movie in the theater called "The loneliest robot in Great Britain" And it was fucking insane. Lol

Same
But online is coming in October, maybe to combat used sales etc.

 

[Yoshichan]

HOLY SHIT THAT INTRO

HOLY SHIIIIT

Spoiler

Man it teaches you that you can save in the house, then next time you go back, it refuses to let u save as forced to take that guy and his dog on that mission, nice game design

2hours in, having fun and found a few fun side missions so far.

 

[hoss]

Picked my copy up at midnight last night. Loaded it up and basked in the glory.

 

[Dark Octave]

Oh yeah guys!

Stuck at work and jelly.

I hate your thumb and that piece of man boob sticking out on the bottom there

OldGAF - for those who are happy to have the game and not nitpick about graphics.

I grew up playing Zork for Christsake.

I have the same issue. The music is really low while voice acting is super loud. Really annoying.

 

[malfcn]

Whhyy. Should have done store pickup, because now I have to go to the store.

Mine says "out for delivery" on the UPS site.

 

[ufo8mycat]

Does the game not look as good as the gameplay reveal trailer that Rockstar put out? That was supposed to be running off of a PS3, according to Rockstar.

Doesn't look as good as the gameplay Rockstar put out

It looks like this
https://mega.co.nz/#!EtNFFZIa!UUUWRRyNcu5YzhrgiKXgIGUaRl4cBmnvSMZgk92loWk
NO SPOILERS - 720P 360 footage

Surprised console gamers aren't happy with this.
Easily better looking then any other open-world game on console.

 

[ultron87]

A few hours in I'm already feeling some of the same story complaints I had with past GTAs, but besides that it seems fun.

Spoiler

Franklin, why are you hanging out with this Lamar fool who is clearly going to just continually get you into messes?

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Out for delivery for the past five hours, what the hell UPS.

 

[Pachimari]

Guys, how can I upload my in-game photos to Facebook? I can't find a upload option in Gallery...

 

[TheContact]

Only 3.5 more hours of work...

 

[Tawpgun]

I'm gonna play after work, I was just curious as to how escaping from cops works here. I didn't see the GTA IV perimeter on the minimap on the footage I saw.

 

[inner-G]

5:00 can't get here soon enough!

 

[Wind's Howling]

None at all. It runs considerably less noisier and a lot cooler. Last of Us was giving mine a hard time but this is like it does not even have to work.

 

[Falifax]

Whhyy. Should have done store pickup, because now I have to go to the store.

Damn. Are the discs busted?

 

[D4Danger]

Los Santos is overwhelming. The map is so big I don't think I'll ever be able to learn where to go without using the pause menu

 

[AlphaK]

Whhyy. Should have done store pickup, because now I have to go to the store.

Holy shit. I'd be pissed.

 

[Dark Octave]

Damn. Are the discs busted?

Hopefully they just popped out of the claw/nub/holder thing and are in the box loose. I would take it back either way though.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Almost more realistic now. The cops cone search for you and the car you are in and have "vision cones" that shows where they are searching. If you avoid the searches you get away.

 

[funkystudent]

The game really "gets into it" a lot quicker then 4 and RDR.

Might be only a half hour before some real awesome shit started to happen.

 

[malfcn]

Damn. Are the discs busted?

Holy shit. I'd be pissed.

I don't want to even open it in case BBY tries to refuse an exchange.

 

[cdkee]

Well...8:33AM at work...this is torture.

 

[D4Danger]

I'm gonna play after work, I was just curious as to how escaping from cops works here. I didn't see the GTA IV perimeter on the minimap on the footage I saw.

when you commit a crime the mini-map will flash blue and red. If you leave that area the cops have a vision cone you need to avoid. They look for you for quite some time.

It's pretty clever because if you switch cars you can sometimes just roll right past them.

 

[Wind's Howling]

I don't want to even open it in case BBY tries to refuse an exchange.

Yeah. Better not open it up or else they'll say you did it.
