Ok guys I noticed something. On the life invader war stock page there are 6 military vehicles but in the in game page, there's only 5 with the apache type helicopter missing. Has anybody found that chopper?

Just tap L1 instead of holding it down to just cycle through your weapons like the old games. Weapon wheel is easier and faster to be honest.
If you think the 360 version looks like shit then sorry to break it to you but the PS3 version will look like shite to you too.

I disagree with this game's level of violence and portrayal of women.
Nope, only installed the Install disc.
This is what my GTA V file on 360 looks like, does this look right?
yes, i went ahead and installed the other disc as well, havent noticed any texture issues like that but im still just in the opening tutorial parts.
only time i remember texture loading like that was if you played GTA 4 online and drove the Interceptor police car in Gay Tony at max speed, it would make the textures look like that, probably to keep the FPS decent.
then again it could just be another bug. either way, spending 5 years developing a game leaves no excuses to cut corners and tell people they cant install it like they've done every other game that's come out including GTA 4, RDR, LA Noire without issue.
if swapping the disc maybe 1 time during the entire campaign would of fixed all the data loading issues, id much rather of done that, Mass Effect 3 had 2 discs, you only had to swap at the very end if you played vanilla campaign, the other data on disc 2 was just if you imported a save and needed to load up all those additional cutscenes, same with LA Noire, the entire world was on all 3 discs, but you merely had to swap for the next batch of cutscenes/missions.

Oh my god I didn't even mention how much I love the MP3 syle cutscene to gameplay transitions. Love it.

Has anybody been able to transcribe what is on the back of the blueprint that comes with the special edition of the game?
i rented the PS3 disc version as well as 360, but its still on the way but if the car handling is noticeably better, ill happily restart on that version and just send back the 360 one..which i wont be using for online anyways since my gold just ran out and im not about to renew just for GTA Online and find out it turns into Mod-City after a few months when Rockstar/Microsoft stop patching it and becomes GTA 4 free roam circa 2009-present day.
Completely agree. And it was all new to me as I've not played MP3 yet.
So, I am super happy with the game.
Runs amazing on 360 with almost no issues. The graphics are amazing, the views always blow me away and the skyboxes are incredible.
The draw distance is impressive as is the physics. I REALLY like the driving. I love the arcadey feel, it's a good change from serious driving like Forza 4.
The missions are great and the yacht one made me smile all the way through. The teamwork between characters and the impressive animations.
This was worth the wait.
Only issue is, I suck at flying, but the views from the air never cease to amaze.

I disagree. As a person who has been around urban people all my life nothing about the dialog so far has felt terribly forced imo.
I was walking around the downtown earlier today as Franklin, and I see some guy get jacked for his mountain bike. He's screaming for someone to get it back as the thief rides right past me, so naturally I tackle him and return the bike. The guy thanks me and rides off. About 2 hours later(next game day) I get an email from him.
Pretty damn cool.
He says he is the president of a large corporation and he gives me 120k worth of company stock. It's still going up at the moment and currently worth around 136k right now I think.

Ok, got a solid 6 or so hours on the 360 version, and played a couple hours at my neighbors house with his PS3 version.
My thoughts:
-Really solid intro. The way everything was introduced, nothing felt like a tutorial.
-Driving did not click with me at first. I'm in the minority, but I really liked GTA IV's driving mechanics. Had a steep learning curve, but once mastered, created some intense, fun chases. Raised the camera height, and saw a big difference in my handling in V. Spent around an hour just driving, and now its starting to feel a lot more natural.
-Mission structure is fantastic. Even though I'm still an errand boy, the way the missions are set up, the errands actually make sense.
-The transition between characters is way, way better than I ever could have imagined.
-Radio selection is the best since San Andreas
Ok, like I stated, I did get some hands on time with the PS3 version today. I honestly could not tell a difference between the two. I read the DF article, and tried to see the blurriness that was mentioned for the 360 version. Could not tell at all. Maybe if they were side by side, but if DF has to nitpick to that level, then it speaks volumes about how well both of these versions were built. Hats off to R*.
Graphics look great, have had a few dips in FPS here and there, but its nothing that is worth keeping me from enjoying the game. For those remotely on the fence, buy it. Best timesink (along with Diablo 3) that you can ask for.

This right here. For people complaining about the shooting mechanics: turn off auto-aim! And if you're having difficulty seeing the dot reticule you can change it in the start menu.

Nope, not at all. I also posted asking the same thing. I souped up my car, did my license plate, and also trained Chop yesterday on iFruit, and now nothing.

Best strip club ever in the series. Does talking about what you can do in the strip club count as spoilers?
It seems to me that they have hardened the flight controls. Even Trevor with his high level of piloting has troubles maintaining stability sometimes.
I'll post some pros and cons so far
+ Beautiful world
+ Great graphics (I have low standards I guess because this game is the most visually impressive open world game I have seen)
+ Driving is good
+ Characters are great (I haven't unlocked Trevor)
+ Writing is better than GTA IV, not amazing but a big step up.
+ A lot of customization
- Some pop-in
- Gunplay is not as good as Max Payne 3
- The shooting during driving is terrible
- I don't like the GPS system or the mini map. I get distracted from trying to look at where to go and not on the road.

Got to spend another 2 hours with the PS3 version now. Don't see any difference between them that is easily discernible. That is good news.
Agreed with everything but the shooting bit from cars for me. I became an ace while shooting from the car. I have no clue why but it felt so easy.

Second mission of the game spoilers:
That's some funny shit if so :lol
Is R* poking fun at open-world games? Specifically their open-world games?
That Simeon a funny dude though, huh? It's gonna be a shame when we get to book his ass and jack him for all his shit.
What the fuck you talkin' about?
That's how shit work, ain't it? You do some jobs for a fool, develop a little uneasy relationship. And then they ask you to do something above and beyond. You fall out, fools get capped, then you start all over again with some other fool."

I wish the yaw controls were just simplified for the L stick. It's more realistic, but i'll get used to it.

Am I missing something on how to use the Blimp? I got it as part of the special edition, and in the map it says directional pad for the Blimp, but all it does is let me easily pick items on the map. Is that all it does?

For me I used the cell phone to call the Blimp, then they stored it at a location near me and I drove to get it
Call them on the phone, then they dump it for you.
Just what I was thinking, good call... bumped it up to what looks like 9.
oh, and press > to drink a beer (x100)
I am really shock in how good this game looks so colorful.

Just discovered the digital manual thanks to the real manual. Here is the link.
Rockstaaar!!!
how the fuck, i mean waaat? i'm blown away by this game.
One tip: don't just do story missions each of the characters has a ton of side stuff to do.
Also, did you know that when you press the left move thing ... don't know the english word now it's late ... but not the analog stick near pedestrians then you can interact with them.
