The first Trevor mission is hard, but the next two are ridiculously easy. Beat them on the first try, just like the first heist.

Dang, really? I blasted through that first mission. Headshots everywhere.


Speaking of which, I fucking adore the pump action shotgun. It's so much fun to use.

I can't believe how much better this game is than GTA IV in pretty much every way. I got tired of IV pretty quickly, but this I'm loving every minute of.

Timed myself driving around the map for fun. Started in south LS, drove counter-clockwise around the map while trying to keep as close to the coast as possible, and looped back around to where I started. Took about
20
minutes (spoiler-marked for those who want to find out for themselves). Was driving pretty fast the whole time, would have taken much longer if driving realistically and following the traffic flow instead of blazing past it. Saw some cool places along the way that I'm looking forward to checking out more later.

Someone should time themselves walking or running around the map! Would take hours, lol.

Can someone explain how exactly the big standalone garages work? Do the cars saved respawn in there no matter what? Or if I take a car out and it explodes, is it gone forever?

Vied for a tag related to cocks, so here it is.
I haven't been able to steal a commercial jet (the real big ones) without getting blown up before I even leave the terminal. Is there a way to get in without the cops hounding me?

Seriously? You can't take in-game photos without Live Gold?
Not sure, read it somewhere. Whenever I want to take pictures or go to the gallery it says online is disabled for my account. Might be problems with Social Club though.

It was the same with Forza btw. Well you could take the pictures but not upload them.

You can get it at the impound. If you're lucky that it actually gives you the option.
 
Having the characters have their own money, garages, etc ... is awesome. It's like having GTA IV and all the expansions hot-swappable instantly.

The diversity is really there and I feel like I'm kind of playing three different GTA games because reactions and attitudes are so different.

I did the chop mission now I can't find out where next mission is, simeon is always closed... what gives?
 
Just noticed when ADHD - Kendrick Lamar plays on the radio, there is a lyric that says "Playstation and some drank". They blank out Playstation lol.

I was wondering before the game came out what would happen with this on the Xbox.. wonder why they chose the song if they'd have blur out lyrics.

song is GOAT tho

I don't think it does on the PS3 version. I mean it might have, but I haven't noticed it.
Favorite Kendrick song ya.

Liking the game so far, I'm actually traveling from place to place now instead of teleporting with the taxi system. The three characters help a lot too, wandered out too far and wanted none of it so I just jumped elsewhere.

Found a really cool movie scene remake while wandering around too. Hope there's more of them.

I'm totally in love with this game. About 7 hours in and I haven't even unlocked Trevor. So much to see and do. <3 Rockstar.

This game, like, puts a smile on my face.
Seriously. Watching sunset and sunrise, stars, nature or just being in a car, watching colours change...
It is wonderful.

I haven't done a mission after the
Yacht
one with Michael and Franklin.

When can I expect another awesome mission like this?

I LOVED it when I was driving for the camera to pan on in the car to reveal Michael in the back seat. I literally shat my pants at first, and holding B for the alternate camera with Michael pointing a gun at Franklin's head.

Seriously, one of the best games, ever.

In loving this game. Truly a one of kind experience.

One thing that annoys me--the fact that they removed the backseat first person view from the taxi rides. What the hell did they do that for??!?!

My first impression of this game was somewhat muted but after the first hour or so it got good. The character switching stuff is brilliant. I love coming out of a Franklin story mission and jumping over to Michael to see what he's up to, and then maybe jumping back to Franklin for a bit or starting another story. The way it picks up in the middle of them living their lives is so well done.

IMO the game has kind of a rough start but it's really worth wading through that first hour or so.

chop doesn't respond to my commands (is it left d pad?) and I don't have his ball anymore. Anyone know how to fix that?

I know they've stated the exact kilometers measurement of the world.

But does anyone know how long it takes to walk across the entire map (top to bottom, the long direction)?

Would you say it takes 15 minutes, or more?

yay i got my copy yesterday! i bought it down in zmart down here in chile, i reserved so i got some stupid dlc code for a blimp but i think that comes with every copy of the game after all?
Anyway there was a small line in zmart and i thought that was bad until checked Microplay's line, look at this shit:



So after playing like 5 hours i gotta say that even tough it shares a lot with IV, everything feels tighter from the shooting and the way cars handle, things feel better overall. Graphics are pretty good not a huge upgrade but noticeable and there's a bunch of crap to even at the earlier stages of the game so that's fucking great i hated IV lack of activities.
So I'm enjoying it a lot and i'm just starting the first heist so i'm looking forward to that.
 
I still think the controls aren't that great. The driving, although improved, still feels floaty, and walking/running feels a bit floaty,too.

I wish we could drive using the face buttons, like pre-GTA IV.

edit-Or maybe it's just that I drove that really fast expensive car, and the handling is hard to drive.

It just feels like in San Andreas, it was easier to pull off moves and stuff with the controls.

Found a government facility, sneaked around like a boss, climbed the roof and stole an
attack buzzard helicopter
.

FUCK YES.
 
I am really loving the game so far but man, on my monitor you really notice the lack of AA.

I'm still baffled by the fact it works at all on 8 year old tech but it's def showing.





I also keep getting reminders of how much I hate controllers. Tried the shooting challenges and man, it is just not working for me. Give me a mouse and keyboard any day.
