That's actually happened? I was thinking more when have we seen local co-op in an open world game PERIOD. These are massive settings that are ram/streaming intensive, unless you force players to stick together in small areas (likely what SA did) it's not going to work on current hardware. Maybe with RAM going way up on next gen consoles something can be done, but even there I suspect it's a vain pursuit.

What would "better" constitute in this situation, given that the early part of the game is set in urban LA with young black male characters?
Yeah, San Andreas had secret split screen stuff.

I had no interest in this, but I'm starting to change my mind. The install music is godlike.
The PSP GTA games had local co-op through adhoc.
They hired real bangers to ensure authentic voice work too.
I was more put off by them saying homie every other sentence. I didn't know people still used that word.

That's not what Ferrio's asking for, I don't think. Local as in same console.
I'm on the west coast and I hear homie all the time!
The core of the problem as I saw it was that open world games were just too hardware pushing to make local co-op on a single system really practical. Something where each person has their own hardware on the other hand should be cake, just tracking the positions and activities of two people in the same world, but each person with hardware to render the game. Kind of like a (way) smaller scale MMO really.

Well, my SE is sitting next to me for the 360. Picked up a 32 Gb USB 3.0 thumb drive to hopefully not have to use the disk drive (I don't want to wake up the entire city of Portland when I play) but now I just wait ... 3 more hours of work.
BTW, the steelcase is amazing. I love the look of the classic covers with the usual poster look, but this is one great looking case.
I learned my lesson with them. I tried about 3 or so "release date deliver" and all but 1 (FFXIII, lol) arrived late. Great for games in general but for release date delivery I'll never look to them for games I can't wait a day two.

It also has to do with it being the culture that R* is trying to represent. I already had a soapbox post earlier, but if they didn't talk like this it would sound and be fake as hell.
Please someone answer his question!

Yes, you can turn your headlights off and hide and I'm fairly certain it'll affect the cops and their line of sight.
I think the game looks great. I mean, I'm not blown away. TLOU still has details beat by a long-shot, but I don't expect a game this size to be as detailed, especially on such aged hardware. Confined spaces and great detail, or a huge, open world with amazing amount of content. TLOU and this game really are the pinnacle of each setting.
Thank you. For the person questioning this and my sake. God damn. I can't wait for tomorrow...

Reading some of these responses is hilarious. It's like listening to a cult/fanatic club or a blind person seeing colors for the first time.

Just went out with a buddy to get him a copy and the Gamestop here turned anyone around that didn't have a reserve.

FFFFFFFFF, still waiting on UPS, should've been here already by the usual time frame they show up.
This IMO is the worst part.

Lovely game, but certainly not without issues. I've only just done the first mission for Lester, so some of these may get better or I might run into other problems.
I wish there was an option to turn off the grading system after missions. I don't care to go for gold, but seeing a bronze or silver most of the time can be disheartening.
I get that some people in real life can swear a lot, but maybe they didn't need to be so realistic in that regard. The level of profanity is distractingly high. I'm not comfortable playing this in front of my kid brother, whom I was content to let watch Saints Row.
A lot of the default settings seem to the worse choice, though maybe this is subjective. The reticle is tiny, the car camera is too low, the safe screen space is all the way pinched in.
The first two driving situations you're put in are fairly difficult. In the truck in the snow isn't too bad, and would be forgivable on its own, but the car repo is insane. You're given an incredibly fast car that over handles, put in a city that you've never been to before and expected to race. That's preposterous, which is a shame because I'm starting to really like how the driving handles after driving around more.
I spent a good couple of hours not realizing you could move around in the map or set waypoints. I didn't realize you had to select the map option, which seems to be a redundancy at first. When neither the d-pad nor either of the sticks or triggers moved my map cursor, I just assumed it was hardwired to only center on your position and not zoom. Also, I've been hardwired by almost every other game this generation to hit select for bringing up the map. I wish R3 was used for changing camera instead, and pulling down on RS was used for looking back as in SR.
The game occasionally forgets where I've parked my car. I haven't gotten any message about it being impounded, so I'm guessing it's not that. Worse, it seems to forget where I've parked cars I own more easily than ones I've stolen. I've taken to calling taxi cabs because I just don't feel like stealing everything.
Some amazing presentation, for sure, but it doesn't feel like a ten yet.

Bummer, thanks for the response though. I guess it's either go digital with the PS3 or pick it up later in the week.

Have you played GTA IV on PS3? How about one of the Fallout games on PS3? Bayonetta PS3? Mirror's Edge PS3? Ever been to Blighttown?
We get it, you think it runs shitty. Move on.

Everything else is pretty cool so far but he we are, over a decade later and on foot traversal still feels clunky and melee combat is stuck in GTA3. Yeah, I know, it's about cars and guns, but it's still a bummer Rockstar can't be pissed to do something with character movement and hand to hand combat. Maybe you unlock some stuff down the road...

No but I've heard "the cursing is way overdone" in a number of places now, citing that it's way worse than any previous GTA. Not that it's got a lot of bad language, but that it's gratuitous. Basically a knock on the writing, not the cursing per se.

Woah, that's pretty bad. I definitely haven't seen that yet. I did see some pop-in during the intro and have seen some road sign pop-in.
