I went to Wal-Mart first this morning and... to my surprise, I didn't see a copy of GTAV anywhere on the shelves (not even any reserve cards). I also didn't see W101 on the shelves either (nor any price tag spot for it).

So, I decided to head over the Gamestop near it and lo and behold they were putting up several copies of the game as I was coming in. They must've had hundreds and hundreds of copies... it was nuts. Anyway, I bought it and as I was buying it, I was told that there were over 600 reserves for it... Wow. It's surprising because I'm not in a major city, I'm in a suburb. I'll honestly be surprised if all their stock is actually gone through today.

I also picked up W101 from there which was stored away in a drawer behind the counter.

Suffice to say I'm excited to start playing it sometime today but I'm not sure when I will be able to. I have to do a lot of college work today so... I might not be able to get to it until tomorrow or something.

Also, does anyone know how to hail down a taxi?

Dpad right.

 

[Pachimari]

Can someone explain how I can upload my pictures online?

Also, can you have a girlfriend in the game? Or is that feature out?

 

[Septimius]

So, does the iFruit app work for anyone? I can't log into my Social Club account. Nor can I find anywhere in the game to log into my Social Club account? I'm not far at all in the story.

Me thinking to myself: "Usually Rockstar is pretty good at capturing the zeitgeist"

Game: "...and he spends all his time smokin' weed, jackin' off, and playing video games!"

Picked up my copy at BB at lunch. Now it's just sitting in my passenger seat waiting for me to drive it home from work - 4 more hours. :/

When looking at leaderboards and anything related to the social club it says my profile does not have the correct permissions to access xbox live functionality, will this be because I'm only an xbox live silver member?

Sounds like it. With Silver, you can't do ANYTHING decent.

The only thing that really annoys me so far is when a wall looks like it can be scaled and you jump straight into the wall and get knocked out. Just a minor complaint.

Definitely enjoying the game, but can't shake the feeling that a few hours in and I haven't really seen or done anything I haven't done before in the last few GTA's. Same formula down to a t, only now with more characters and better visuals. Also finding the UI, menu legibility etc rather annoying. Still, no major opinions yet, I guess in GTA terms I've barely scratched the surface.

You can't co-op can you?

Not until October, no.

The shooting is great, and the driving is great. But combined, shooting + driving, really fucking broken

Cross post from the community thread

I have the social club up in one window and the spreadsheet up in another.

I'm looking at the social club 'muscle' list and searching the spreadsheet for the social club name. If I can't find the social club name you get booted. Please make sure that the social club name you listed on the sheet is on the sheet and spelled correctly.

Talk to you all in a few days after I get done with the story mode. Still waiting on UPS but I'm also still working so it's not as excruciating as I thought it would be.

This game...

I love it so much.

I must've missed it, how I can put my photos online? On facebook preferably, one way or another.

Bump Looks like they're saved to Social Club?

Gunna head out to class in 20 minutes. If GTA5 is in the mailbox I'm turning right around and playing, if not, I'm off to class where I will wait painfully

So, he warned you twice and said he'd get the cops on you.
He gets the cops on you and you proceed to shoot him, causing him to fall down the mountain?

Lol, I'm staying the fuck away from you ;p

..well if you put it like that I guess that was kind of a dick move of mine haha.

Damn it , I preordered the GTAV PS3 bundle on newegg a few months back and now i'm checking to see its status and its sold out. They never should of taken my preorder if they didnt have enough. I'm about to cancel and just get it at Best Buy instead.

 

[Tempy]

Arrived home from work. GTA V in the mailbox. Amazon.co.uk delivered as scheduled.

Right, time to install!

 

[newsguy]

So is there a way to activate hydraulics on the low riders in this one or not? L3 +R3 is just Franklin's special ability activation.

Street races with Franklin are fun as hell. I hope they release a dlc race pack at some point.

left and right on the right analog stick, if you're using traditional GTA aiming.

Enjoying the game so far, the first heist was a massive highlight of the game. I saw it played a couple days ago and then I did it myself with a different crew and it's cool to see how many variables there are and unique dialogue.

I had to give it a break to you know, sleep etc but I'm looking forward to jumping back in. Just upgrading my PS3 HDD and then I'll be on it again.

Also, anyone know a way of getting out of the car without turning the engine off? I wanted to take a pic of my new car with its Xenon lights, but they turn off as soon as they get out I liked it in IV where press the button keeps the engine on, hold the button turns it off.

Are you confirming the existence of hydraulics with this question? Heard they weren't in.

this never worked for me

not that it matted, had the COD style auto lock on when pull aim trigger

Well, that is just fabulous. I'm loving this game so far. Welcome back to San Andreas!

 

[Eusis]

I wish I could make a thread for all the terrible parents on Twitter this morning.

Honestly the tweets specifically come off as the more obnoxious to me, not merely the fact he got GTAV.

Okay, so I'm using the Pulse Elite Headset with the GTAV profile but it seems like Bass Impact is completely disabled. Am I the only one experiencing this? I move the slider and nothing changes.

Same here. Maybe it's just really subtle or for very specific instances, but I am curious if that's intended or if something went awry.

 

[Pachimari]

I were surprised to see people bonfire at the beach at night, what a nice atmosphere.

But can I only interact with people by pressing the right dpad? Because nobody seem to like
me. They always get angry.

Apparently I did something at the beach which made the whole group walk away from the bonfire and to the water were they walked along the sand.

 

[PIMPBYBLUD]

So just wondering about GTA Online...I'm hoping they have the capacity to allow everyone in when it launches on Oct 1st. Does Social Club affect that as well?

 

[Phire Phox]

Is the iFruit app available on Android?

 

[SRTtoZ]

I just took control of Michael. What an awesome beginning.

 

[Pachimari]

Are there no gang feature like in San Andreas where you could fight for territory? Because there are two gangs in GTA V.

Is the iFruit app available on Android?

Not yet. It's delayed.

Yeah, it was funny the first few times it happened, but now it's just annoying.

Nope.

Get on it R*

 

[SRTtoZ]

Doesn't even matter yet since I cant sign into Social club via the app or the website.

 

[iosef]

Just gave in. The Gamestop across the street is basically GTAstop today.

 

[Enduin]

I am very sad to find that there are no Custom Tracks in this game. I have a lot of good music that would fit will in this game. Though I do route my PS3 audio through my PC so I can always just play it from there and it will come out of the same speakers, but it's just not the same.

 

[Zafir]

Is the pre-order DLC inside the box? If so is there any way to tell you have it without opening the box to verify?

(UK copy more specifically)

 

[Timu]

Installing it now, almost half way there.

 

[Septimius]

Ok, I managed to figure out that I had to link my Social Club account to my PSN account.

Anyone managed to get iFruit working? Just get an error-message when trying to sign in.

Also, my pre-order bonus code didn't work
