you seem to just like playing the same thing over and over..so why not just re-buy gta 4? if a old feature is your sticking point? seems weird that as great as gta 5 is, you want something in the game that was in the last game 5 years ago??smh

i really dislike the ingame cutscenes, imho they all behave like puppets on strings, looks so unnatural. I'm alway glad when they are over, i feel uncomfortable watching them, they weird me out.

TRUE STORY
So I was kind of stalking this blonde chick in the "Beverly Hills" area, and she finally caught on to me, she started running across the street against a red light, and got hit by a car. I waited around and sure enough the paramedics came.
They had a conversation about how it was too late, and one of them was really upset about it. his partner kept saying don't worry man there's always a next time.
I was blown away.

yah the controls are a bit unintuitive. the dpad controls specifically cause they just threw everything there that didnt have its own designated button.
change the radio, hold for radio selection wheel, retract the car roof, check your characters stats, change characters, check your phone. and the reload and jump buttons are different from most games. so theres a learning curve to break muscle memory, i think there isnt much that could have been done control wise due to how much functionality the game needs.

What are the people represented by little blue dots on the minimap? Random encounters? Do you do anything with them other than talk to them for a minute?

Protip: don't surf the web on your phone at night in the countryside.
Pretty sure I was just mauled by a mountain lion lol. Couldn't tell from the angle it gave me.
Best thing I've seen so far is the fact that you can't simply drive your busted up car into your garage to magically make it brand new again, even after reloading the save. You need to actually drive to the shop and pay for the repairs. This gives an incentive to drive well. Just amazing.
Sorry! I'm on my wii u browser and I've never done it before. How would that make me cool anyway? Sheesh, you try to have a bit of light hearted banter...
This has happened to me with a couple of games. Not sure what causes it, but I can usually get the system to recognize the game by holding the front of the PS3 up after putting the disc in.
Depends. I've seen muggings, people having their bikes stolen and so on.

They actually deform even more than they did in Gta IV if you hurt them enough. I like it better now since it's easier to keep customized cars looking spiffy, rather than having them look like Godzilla took a chomp out of it because I tapped a light-pole.
The armored car seems as strong as a tank.
Is my Trevor a hipster?
Only if he listens to Vinewood BLVD Radio.
However, cars can now lose their wings, which I don't think they could do in GTA4. Also, wheels can become jammed by buckled arches.

Have you installed both discs to the HDD? If yes: don't do it.
Nope, just the install disc. Play disc is uninstalled, I did see the thread on this earlier. :/
My ban is over!
This game is INCREDIBLE. The Yacht mission was SO GOOD.
That was some stunt you pulled
Welcome back.
YAY!
You trippin. Lamar bout dat life.
But I honestly think it's to give Franklin some prospective.
Lamar is great. Leave Lamar alone.
Sorry if this has been asked before, only using my mobile and I'm abroad but I managed to watch some twitch tv footage the other day.
It looks great, but how does it run while driving around quite fast? Typical choppy gta stuff? Or somehow magic and smooth like it was also a racing game...

Good to see joaquin phoenix is still alive.
As well as wanting a more 'bolder' aiming reticule I'd love to have an option to keep the reticule on screen all the time. Run and gunning is actually pretty fun but I hate the way I have to press the fire button to make it appear on screen and how it disappears quickly as well. I guess it's probably a design choice but I'd love the option anyway. Those are really my only nitpicks with the game so far. Ok the combat isn't on par with Max Payne 3 but it's still a big leap as to be very enjoyable now.

the bluray laser on your ps3 is malfunctioning. the dvd and bluray uses a different frequency diode its why the dvds still work.
the format will likely do nothing you may try swabbing the lens with a qtip+alcohol at your own risk, or call sony for a repair.
Definitely gets in the 25 FPS territory when driving a fast car.

So you walk through a door, push it open with your arm, and your arm remains braced against the door to hold it in place. That detail is amazing to me for some reason.

That's how it's been in all the Gta games......and it's incredibly tedious. Apparently, in this one if you save it in a purchased garage, it reappears fully repaired if you blow it up, so I just have to keep a rocket launcher handy
Uh so what do you do with the armored cars once you jack them? Do you drop them off somewhere like GTAs of old or what? I'm in one currently with Michael after jacking it due to an in game prompt telling me to, and dunno what to do with it.
Also, how do I download apps onto my phone? I wanna train chop but can't remember the dog training link lol.

Thanks. I don't remember what I did.
But yeah, this game is CRAZY good.

Ah, thanks. I've only encountered one so far and all he did was yell about immigration.
Another question, what does this little blue circle around my player indicator mean? It flashes sometimes when I'm running.
Sound meter (louder you are the bigger it gets). It's for stealth and getting away from the cops and such.

It's how much sound you are making.
I was hiding from the fuzz behind a pillar in a car park, they were about 3 feet from me when they finally called off the search, sweaty palms!
Also I rammed a car so hard one of its wheels fell off. Fun times.

Just did this exact same thing during that Lamar/Stretch mission. Was pleasantly surprised that just being outside of police FOV won't eventually erase your wanted level. You gave to stull leave the last area they saw you.
I was in the movie lot area in an alley, lights off, with cops continually circling where we were. After a few minutes, a cruiser rolls slowly past the stairs I was next to and the chase starts again.
Made me think of the intro to Drive.

So is there a way to set the map to the old direct-overhead setting instead of the newly-adopted 3/4 overhead view? It's kind of annoying while I'm driving.
You have to smash the back doors off it. Just get out and shoot the doors until they come off.

Baaaah! Still waiting for UPS! It's been out for delivery for over 12 hours... the bastards.
Yeah they've had them in real life for a while now, last time I checked, they were only on some small sized tires, like 15"s; I don't remember if they're actually street legal though.
Capture software, doesn't really take good shots.
