There's a number of interface things I have an issue with.

First of all, I had no fucking idea how to move around in the map screen and set waypoints, plus everything...EVERYTHING, requires too many button presses to accomplish.

Spent 2 hours with the game.

10 minutes of mission gameplay and the rest exploration.

City seems awesome. Went on a rollercoaster ride which was super cool.

Jumping on people is fun.

Car denting physics aren't as fun as in GTA IV.

Too much swearing. Yada yada they're gangsters. It's too much.

I spent 99% of my time playing multiplayer in GTA IV. That's what I'm really looking forward to. Playing the game makes me want the PC version even more.

Pretty bummed that they tuned down the physics in the cars. I loved it so much in IV.

 

[njean777]

I remember people used to shit on The Sopranos for this very reason. And yet, if you listen to FBI wiretaps, that's EXACTLY what those people sound like. It may not be as elegant as some gamers want, but it's authentic.

Exactly, I go to a majority black/latino urban college, and they talk exactly how they do in this game. It is part of the culture.

 

[dyergram]

What were people talkin about with the whole "drive inside, hold right stick down, coolest thing ever". Am i missing something? It was a few hundred pages back.

I bought the same unless its the slo-mo thing but that's both sticks.

 

[Robbler]

sounds like a Tarantino film. and last i checked, that motherfucker earns Oscars.

This is Tarantino:

Jules: [Jules shoots the man on the couch] I'm sorry, did I break your concentration? I didn't mean to do that. Please, continue, you were saying something about best intentions. What's the matter? Oh, you were finished! Well, allow me to retort. What does Marsellus Wallace look like?
Brett: What?
Jules: What country are you from?
Brett: What? What? Wh - ?
Jules: "What" ain't no country I've ever heard of. They speak English in What?
Brett: What?
Jules: English, motherfucker, do you speak it?
Brett: Yes! Yes!
Jules: Then you know what I'm sayin'!
Brett: Yes!
Jules: Describe what Marsellus Wallace looks like!
Brett: What?
Jules: Say 'what' again. Say 'what' again, I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker, say what one more Goddamn time!

This is GTA V Tarantino:

Jules: [Jules shoots the man on the couch] I'm sorry, did I fucking break your fucking concentration? I didn't mean to fucking do that. Please, fucking continue, you were fucking saying something about best fucking intentions. What's the fucking matter? Oh, you were fucking finished! Well, allow me to fucking retort. What does Marsellus Wallace fucking look like?
Brett: What?
Jules: What fucking country are you from?
Brett: What? What? Wh - ?
Jules: "What" ain't no fucking country I've ever heard of. They speak fucking English in What?
Brett: What?
Jules: English, motherfucker, do you fucking speak it?
Brett: Yes! Yes!
Jules: Then you fucking know what I'm sayin'!
Brett: Yes!
Jules: Describe what the fuck Marsellus Wallace looks like!
Brett: What?
Jules: Say 'what' again. Say 'what' again, I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker, say what one more Goddamn fucking time!

So all of the mass murder, thieving, and sex scenes are alright? What a ridiculous complaint.

I'm more worried about what he can easily pick up from the game. When's the next chance a ten year old with no access to guns is going to have for a shooting rampage or bank robbery? And I wouldn't instigate anything overtly sexual around him. But the swearing, he could easily pick that up. It's not worse, it's just significantly more influential and within scope.

You're like 20 minutes into the game. Gatdam, wait it out. I agreed with a lot you said my first 20 minutes but it gets better. It's a new game, you have to get used to it.

Five hours, actually. Maybe not story wise, but that's how long I played for.

I think social club is down, I can't sign in over on the site.

 

[kick51]

How can swearing be too much, but mass murder is a-okay

its like people want it to be real in some terrible ways, but when its real in some superficial way, it suddenly matters? lol

cause it sounds like they're in high school by throwing the f-bomb after every word

 

[vilmer_]

Michael reminds me of Jack Tretton.

 

[bud]

The script for the first 90 minutes:

N-word, n-word, n-word, n-word, n-word, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, bitch, bitch, bitch.

I hope it gets better soon.

"big dick. nigga. small dick. nigga. baby dick. dick. ass. nigga. sex. dick. fuck. dick."

it's pure hollywood.

 

[CorrisD]

From some googling it seems that besides in a mission, you can't drive the freight trains that are around on the map. I haven't come across any other trains yet, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed you can't drive them, like in previous games I really hate when they put in vehicles you can't drive. I was really, and some might consider this a bit sad, was looking forward to driving the trains.

Xbox 360 told me my usb drive was not ideal for optimum performance. Is this a scare tactic to get me to buy one of their overpriced ones?

Not all USB drives were made equally, some are slow regardless of what they might say on them, but yea, it needs to have a certain read speed otherwise a game won't load properly. You don't have to buy an overpriced one, you just have buy a suitable one, they aren't mutually exclusive.

 

[lazybones18]

A gif of throwing money at strippers....I DEMAND IT

 

[DrM]

Pretty bummed that they tuned down the physics in the cars. I loved it so much in IV.

Driving is like they took driving from Midnight Club: LA and merged it into GTA universe. Good news for me, 'cause I wasted days in that game

Moving around the map interface is the same as it was in GTA IV. Go to map, press A... move it around and press A to set a waypoint. Very simple. I don't know what these extra button presses you're complaining about are. Want to provide some more context? Not a problem I've had in any respect.

I'm getting a lap dance atm, listening to this awesome track: http://youtu.be/q0SyUgw98tE

ah, so they need to sound "educated"

because reasons, i presume

A 10 year old? ahahahahahah

He already knows all the swears, dad. All of em. edit: unless he's homeschooled

 

[Certinty]

Yep this is the best game ever.

If you haven't already looked I would recommend viewing the Life Invader pages of Michael's family, amazing stuff there.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

My War by Black Flag is in here.

Game redeemed!

Does anyone know how to train the dog without the app?

Its not the swearing, its terrible dialogue. Every other word is "fuck" or "n-word." It wears on you because it sounds so forced.

 

[Maddog]

First of all, I had no fucking idea how to move around in the map screen and set waypoints, plus everything...EVERYTHING, requires too many button presses to accomplish.

Seriously. Why do we have to press x on the map screen in order to navigate it?

 

[kittens]

Anyone know how to insure cars? I have no clue how to register cars to be insured or whatever. I asked three times last night and no one responded, lol.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Exactly, I go to a majority black/latino urban college, and they talk exactly how they do in this game. It is part of the culture.

As a 28 yr old from a middle class Italian family this sounds like every family gathering I've been to.

 

[Cheddahz]

Seriously guys, where do I buy clothes so I can make Franklin look more gangsta?

 

[TIGER-COOL]

Seriously. Why do we have to press x on the map screen in order to navigate it?

Is this sarcasm? Holy crap folks.

 

[EarsOfASnake]

I don't get the complaints about image quality. If you have been playing console games then it's what we have been used to for a good couple of years now. Game looks fantastic but maybe I just have a super PS3 or something.

 

[jacksepticeye]

This game...... is amazing

 

[Heimbeck]

Well Amazon said it should arrive tomorrow and are blaming it on the royal mail.
As expected I guess.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Its not the swearing, its terrible dialogue. Every other word is "fuck" or "n-word." It wears on you because it sounds so forced.

Yeah, I cringed pretty hard at "fucking fuck fuck fuck" or whatever it was. Didn't I read somewhere that this game has X amount of movie scripts worth of dialogue? I guess one of them was just Carlin's Seven Dirty Words just typed over and over again.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

cause it sounds like they're in high school by throwing the f-bomb after every word

Not really.

I am going to kill UPS. Nice day to take their sweet time getting to my house.

No, it's worse, it's Dan Houser

 

[SJRB]

Why are all the clothing stores closed all the time, what the hell is going on? Am I missing something? I've been cruising past all the clothing stores in Vinewood but every store marked with a clothing icon on the paper map has its doors closed.

 

[Overdoziz]

Garages? How do they work?

I haven't used them yet, but aren't they same as in previous GTAs? A car get saved in there until you take it out. It's not like in SR where it saves every single car ever put in and you can choose whichever you want whenever.

 

[kittens]

Seriously guys, where do I buy clothes so I can make Franklin look more gangsta?

I've been wondering this, too. It's not like San Andreas where you just come across stores. Or I haven't just come across stores, at least.

 

[jacksepticeye]

I don't get the complaints about image quality. If you have been playing console games then it's what we have been used to for a good couple of years now. Game looks fantastic but maybe I just have a super PS3 or something.

The game has obvious drawbacks. Framerates tank at times when driving around fast and there are extremely noticeable jaggies everywhere

But the lighting is superb and the draw distance is actually highly impressive. Especially at night

 

[CorrisD]

I imagine you have to get to a certain story part before they unlock like most of the other map locations that slowly become available.

 

[jaaz]

This. Usually when curse words are over-used, it's due to lazy writing.

 

[ChapaNDJ]

For fuck sakes, still waiting for my copy to arrive.

 

[Manus]

People complaining about too much swearing in a GTA game? Now I've seen it all.

 

[tehbible]

cause it sounds like they're in high school by throwing the f-bomb after every word

the voice actors in the game sound like high school students?

give me a break... they sound pretty damn authentic to me. you need to better repuresentate yoself.

 

[LevityNYC]

This. Usually when curse words are over-used, it's due to lazy writing.

nailed it....

 

[aristotle]

The people who complain about the cussing in this game must really live near alot of puritanical people. Hell I'm a Christian, I served in the military and I grew up and hung out "gangstas" I was into all of that shit. And no hyperbole, this is the way people in these walks of life talk. I just don't understand the complaints.

nailed it....

Or maybe it's because they used actual gang members and let them ad-lib what they say in normal conversation.

 

[Danj]

What do I do if my Atomic Blimp code is invalid? PS3 version.

 

[jaaz]

For fuck sakes, still waiting for my copy to arrive.

Join the club buddy!

 

[Moxx19]

Is it just me, or are the shooting controls absolutely balls on PS3? Seriously I don't know if its the game or PS3 deadzone but I can't do the shooting range challenges for shit in the beginning.

 

[Cheddahz]

I don't know, I guess it is just immature that they have to throw a f-bomb after every word?
