1-2 weeks? Damn man i hope it isn't anything really, really serious and hope you get better soon.Well I might be going in the hospital today for a week or two and I've fallen in love with this game since I got it at midnight launch. I know I need to get better and it will be here when I get back, but still it's just that great.
Anyway sure there are some aliasing issues, but the graphics are seriously amazing for a world this huge and realized. The lighting shaders are a huge part of that. Earlier today I found myself on the coastal highway as it transitioned to night time and I was blown away. It might seem like a little thing, but the lighting in the tunnels with other cars was something out of this world. I'm enjoying this far, far more than GTA IV already. I can't wait for Online to come out.
You unlock better guns of the same type (different handguns, different SMGs etc), always choose the latest weapon and you should do fine. It's easy once you realize how important x3 combo is. It's much better to chill out and make every shot count, and go with x3 bonus, rather than holding down the button and getting weaksauce single-digit numbers!#2 Getting gold on the target range is like impossible or am doing something wrong?
Maybe some more later.
Can you get food anywhere anymore? Whenever I come across a restaurant it doesn't let me go in like I could in San Andreas and GTA4.
As for the gameplay itself, I think the supposed "better" gunplay system is kind of a farce. The lockon seems about as wonky as it ever was. Will the reticule snap to this guy? Will it not? Like IV, it's sometimes a guess.
Oh so that's why I couldn't get a hotdog from the stand! They completely took that away? FUUUUUUCK WHY.You can get food and drinks from vending machines. Not sure why they didn't bring back the food places, they were kind of hilarious in IV. I wonder if it was just an easy thing to cut to save development time.
So has anyone figured out how to get out of the car with the engine running and music playing because I need to. In saints row you could just doubletap Y or triangle respectively.
Lol, saw a random encounter happening.
Was driving around and some guy was being mugged at a parking lot. Ran over those robbers with my car and collected the reward
Good to see they brought those random events over from RDR.
Please turn off lock-on dude. I don't understand why R* defaults to this bullshit. I think they acknowledge that most gamers suck at games.

Yep Free Aim is the way to go, I really hope they don't do this shit with GTA Online and have Free Aim as default.
The voice of Stretch is definitely.....
Love it
I wonder if that hair is available for Trevor...
No clue...but I did ramp onto a box truck during a bit of explorationAnyone know if we can do the sliding above cars with the bikes like seen in one of the recent trailers?
The sound in the game is incredible as well. I swear when you slow down (press brake) in a nice car you can hear it rev higher as it presumably downshifts. Also when you're on a hill, stopped, if you slightly press the acceleration trigger the car rolls back a little.
The attention to detail is amazing. Kudos to R*.
Looking at stock pages in-game and real life is like reading an alien language.
I know you should invest whendoing an assassination mission, you invest in the competition but it's never clear WHO the competition is
R* screwed Max Payne 3 by having 3 different playlists to play in. Lock on,assisted and free aim. Everybody would go lock-on because faster kills equals faster XP. Almost nobody played in free aim, and Max Payne 3 multipayer is dead on consoles.
anyone else feel overwhelmed playing this?...i guess its really my first GTA experience and i might be the worlds worst driver, shooter, and eluder of police...i am pretty good at getting lap dances though!
Does the PS3 version allow XMB soundtracks?
I havent tried it out and Ill be working all day and want to know.
Yeah and if you get out of the car in a silent spot (like a garage for example) you can hear the engine click as its cooling down.
Hey everyone few questions:
#1 So how does the saving a car before you own a full garage work?
#2 Getting gold on the target range is like impossible or am doing something wrong?
Maybe some more later.

Lester says outright during the mission cutscenes whose stock will benefit from the assassination. Just gotta pay attention.

I believe you can have hydraulics installed if you bring your car into a mod shop.
I'm really curious why they did this... Can't possibly be hardware restriction. I mean, how much power can a place like Burger Shot really take?That's what it seems. What I'd forgotten was no more buying food at places like Burger Shot or Cluckin Bell.
What's especially strange is that Cluckin' Bell and Burger Shot are scattered around the whole city like they were before, only now you can't go into them.
It's not a major omission, especially since your health now partially regenerates during downtime. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it.

I found a half pipe and BMX bike with Franklin. You can even play around on the half pipe.Oh, zany. BMX-style bikes, I assume. Hooray!
Random event..about an hour laterI was driving around with Michael and some guy was screaming that his bike was being stolen so I go after the thief and return the guys bike$100,000I get a random email form the guy whose bike I returned and it turns out he is loaded and gives meI love this game.in stock to some company.
