I'm loving the game - I think the story is really good too, though not too far in (
).
Though, I do agree that some of the dialogue could do with being toned down. It just isn't as funny/enjoyable as rest of the game (many other sections of dialogue are fantastic).
Perhaps you can argue that 'it is an accurate representation of how some people speak'. Okay, but this is a form of entertainment - we don't get an accurate representation of our characters bowel movements, sleeping patterns, or general physical capacities. It is a game which takes liberties with some 'real life truths' - why can't they tone down the dialogue so that it is more enjoyable?
It is GTA, what did I expect? Firstly, I expected an awesome game (which I have got). Of course I expected swearing etc... I'm not too bothered about that - I just think it goes too far in areas, to the point where it actually slightly detracts from the game. I don't get upset about the language personally, nor do I have anybody to worry about hearing it. I do roll my eyes a bit - but above all, I think it is lazy storytelling.
last mission was where Trevor drove to Los Santos

Haha yup. From the trailer. Very authentic hood speak. They did a damn fine job with the voice acting. The script is awesome! I'm fully vested into the game. This is the first time where I feel like I'm in an interactive movie with an engaging story line.
I would still consider GTA V the best game ever made in the history of all gaming.

I'm sitting here waiting for the install on PS3 to finish and I kinda don't want it too now.. The music during the install is amazing!

"mother fucker" is the ganster version of the valley girl "like" and interchanging them can bring about different characters with the same dialogue:
For example;
So mother fucker, you want to step to this motherfucking house and start some motherfucking problems?
Now replace "like" for all the "mother fuckers"
So like, you want to step to this, like, house and start some, like, problems?
It's just the way people talk. Like and Mother Fucker are basically pauses, commas, breaths, and filler.

Yup im off at 3:30pm as well. Thankfully I have been able to keep myself busy
installing the second disc onto the hard drive is not recommended. it's actually slower if you do that.

hey gang, I game on a 42" monitor (everything looks great) but when it comes to some console games, the jaggies are pronounced (sharpness down).
I sit at a desk like this, a bit back. How far back do you recommend sitting back in a chair with this setup when a 42" monitor is on top and im playing GTA V?

Do you think your everyday life dialogue is interesting?

Depending on the topic it can be, and if people curse while talking about I do not throw a fit about it either.

Could not resist the urge...picked this game up earlier during my lunch break. Sorry Rayman and TW101, you're going to be on the backburner for a little while...

5' - 10' feet on average. The maximum is debatable depending on preference and vision, but most manufacturers for that size are usually around 5'+.
Completely inexplicable... wtf.I'm upset that Rockstar doesn't let me register ANUSTART as a license plate because of "explicit" words
Really, in a GTA game?

oh boy xD
You can install it to a USB stick and it'll run fine. Just needs to be somewhere besides the hard drive where the first disc is installed.

Walking along the highway at night produces a considerably higher amount of traffic than I've seen in IV. They no doubt just disappear once out of sight, but still.
I've tried calling the taxi service but they never show up. Do they only appear at certain places?

Mixed feelings so far. It seems I may be at odds with the majority of GAF as many of the changes I dislike are things I loved from IV. The new focus on making things accessible and easy can be seen throughout and is something that I think makes the game weaker in the long run.
The cars, while they don't feel as terrible as Sleeping Dogs or earlier Saints Row games, are a significant step-down in how enjoyable they are to drive. A friend and I were talking about this and think that they feel like RC cars... and they aren't effected by physics as much as they were in IV. The motorcycles in particular now are almost completely unenjoyable in how they handle.
They made the world bigger but they also made everything move faster which makes the world feel less significant and immersive. Some sports cars and motorcycles in particular move so ludicrously fast that I don't want to drive them again.
They also took out the ability to crouch which is mindbogglingly frustrating. That's a must have feature for multiplayer. Hopefully it'll be present in mp since the stealth mode won't be as useful then.
A personal nitpick, but I also don't like the removal of being able to walk at different speeds. Walking is just one speed now (Or am I crazy? I'm pretty sure GTA 4 had that).
The aliasing is also bothersome but I'll get over it considering how how much is going on at any point in time.
There's plenty to love about the game, though, but right now I'm just in disappointment mode. My worries of Rockstar moving too far away from the feel of GTA IV due to fan feedback have come true and that sucks.
