Michael is pretty much a satire of TS.
What I recently did was playing tennis. Pretty impressive how good it is for a minigame. Better than some full game.

I asked a few pages ago but it got buried. On PS3 can you change the controls to use L1 and R1 to shoot?

Right? I keep asking if more choices are unlocked but no one has an answer.

Yes, it's called Alternate control scheme under on foot controls, works really well.
Let's say it's the most varied open world game I have ever played. And yes, it's even more varied than San Andreas. 69 missions, each is different from other.

Yep, first thing I did after inverting Y axis.
After spending 35 hours with the game I gave up trying to find something more than three haircuts and a beard.

Thank you, you just reminded me how I got into the habit of having my mega hyped day 1 pre-orders delivered to me here at work instead of taking the day off and getting them at home. It's because sometimes they don't get delivered until late afternoon/early evening. Seriously, it's been so long that I couldn't remember what made me do it this way.
A little less than 4 hours to go, sigh...

The majority of my switches have been the same, but I've witnessed a few events when switching back to Franklin. One he was getting thrown out of a strip club, the other he was intervening in a scrap between Lamar and what looked like drug dealers or rival gang members. Nothing to do with a mission, just a random incident. Pretty cool.
I shot and rammed the hell out of it and nothing.
It's called the Gruppe 6 right?
edit: almost 50 rounds from a shotgun and nothing,. Two shots from a handgun and it opens.

...said the World's Hippest Hipster.
This is very trivial..... but one thing I REALLY miss from GTA4 is being able to go into first person view when riding in the back of a taxi. Also asking the driver to change the radio stations as wellSomething about seeing the city from that view is very pleasing to me.
Think there's a camera angle that goes to "Hood" camera, that you can look around. Not the same as in car, but has the same use, perhaps even better "viewing" without the cab getting in the way.

"The package was missed at the UPS facility, UPS will deliver on the next business day." - UPS
wow....and I won't get a chance to play tomorrow smh
wow....and I won't get a chance to play tomorrow smh
Yep I did this .
So how shitty does this REALLY look and perform? I'm a spoiled PC gamer who knows what delicious crispy graphics are, but is it REALLY as bad as other PC gamers are trying to make it out to be?
I mean, as long as it looks/performs better than GTA IV does, I think I can deal with it. I'm going to pick up my PS3 copy in a bit to play tonight but I'm trying to gauge what I'm really in for based on what others have experienced thus far.
And just for a baseline, I think Last of Us and Killzone 2 look absolutely fantastic.

Thanks a lot man. Grabbed the 360 version early for work, couldnt wait for Amazons thursday delivery. Good to know that I can sell my 360 copy asap and then play on PS3.
Not necessarily, a car I modded was reliably showing up at my safe house or impound lot, but now it has disappeared. I am going to try the impound lot again, but I am not very hopeful. The impound lot wasn't even showing up on Michael's map while it still was showing for Franklin and vehicles were there for Franklin.

Only 8 hours into the game, love it. Wouldn't put it over the last of us just yet, but I'm having a blast so far.

Now imagine how the Rockstar-team sits there with 60 final missions and of them says "We still need nine more!!!".
They must not be very sensitive to framerate dips because I notice it constantly.

Not sure if this is a bug/glitch or something intended: In the mission "
", you'll be forced to go to an Ammu-Nation store and buy a shotgun w/ a flashlight installed, but if you look closely at the other available weapons, there's an assault rifle with most of the upgrades already unlocked for free and the only thing you have to do is install those on the weapon.
Because of that, I quickly unlocked "fully customize a weapon" trophy.
Did anyone also experience this?

Well, when your not driving really fast it is not bad. Night time is spectacular, the water is spectacular.
Everything is really well done, but the aliasing is horrible. Deep in the background you can barely tell what stuff is due to all the moving ladders jaggies and shimmering, etc. It is distracting. But when walking around or whatever, it is fine. Skyline and such looks amazing, the closer up details of the buildings look amazing, cars look amazing, etc. I watched a storm build the other night, the clouds slowly crossing the path of the moon and building up. Was awesome.
It has its ups and downs.

looks great, but runs bad. people are enjoying the game so they aren't commenting that it runs so poorly. low expectations I guess.
I've had two switches to Trevor where I was laughing my ass off. The most I've laughed playing a game by far. I'll spoiler it.
First time trevor is near a garbage bin when a random dude drops what seems like a finished taco. He picks it up from the bin then throws it at the dude in disgust when he notices it's has already been eaten. His face makes the scene...
Another instance his riding on the freeway with a scooter chasing another driver riding a scooter yelling "we're scooter buddieees" awesome shit.
Also I forgot another time he's laying on the street with a beer in his hand. He breaks the bottle and when you take control of him he's still drunk.

People who played through GTA4 on PS3 and are now playing GTA5 sure get a nice graphical boost, even ignoring the better lighting/textures/loading/detail. Having the game actually be 720p is a huge improvement, makes all the other visual upgrades over 4 even better.
Several hours in, loving it. Franklin and Lamar are godtier, and Michael is a more interesting character than I would have thought. So far it's Franklin's game though.

How have the servers been for the download from PSN?
I just played this game for six hours and had to pull myself away for the sake of my eyes. My god, this game is incredible. I never owned any of the PS2 GTAs, only played them at friends' houses. I loved GTA IV, and already this game kicks the shit out of it.
The world is so lovingly crafted and dynamic. The lighting is beautiful, the random encounters are awesome, I can just drive around Los Santos forever. I think my favorite detail is how appropriate the NPCs are. Hipsters hang out in front of the Urban Outfitters, backpackers stand atop Mount Chilliad and take photos with their phones, rednecks drink beer behind liquor stores on the outskirts of town. It just makes the world feel so much more lived in and real.
And the world is just filled with fun things to do. I'm not talking about mini-games either, but things like barreling down a mountain trail on a dirtbike or hunting.

They usually come by before noon. It's only 1:30PM now but still. Maybe ups is overwhelmed with GTA orders?
I downloaded it in ~80 mins on regular Comcast net last night right after it went up.
Spoiler about the garage
I'll upload pics later.
Hmm, I took out one car from the garage, then went back inside to take out the other. My first car is gone from both the garage and outside. Going to see if they leave it at the impound. If they're gone until you buy them again then...well, gg money
4 vehicles, I have 3 super cars and a stupid bicycle. Was hoping you could put more cars

wrong thread?
If you see how many missions you finish with each character,
I say it's a Michael's game after all.
I'm also all about PC level of graphics. GTA looks crappy at first because of the low resolution and aliasing, but I quickly got over that after 30 minutes or so due to the art style and detailed world. TLOU is definitely a lot better graphics wise but the levels are a much smaller scope than the depth of GTA V.
YES! How much do they charge to get it back?

Unhappy about (strip club related)
In any case the game is phenomenal. I love that there is no filler like packages or other stupid collectibles. Everything has substance.
It really is mindblowing how much stuff there is in the game. How did they put all of it together?
I would buy the game even if I hated it just for their effort.
not getting a fuck scene/mini game with a stripper. I spend 15 minutes finding the one to accept me at her home... We've seen every possible death in videogames but sex which everybody does is a no no. The only sex scene I've seen so far had a dressed woman. Come on now!
