Grand Theft Auto V |OT2| <Title available for purchase>

Lol, so much fun going around in the tow truck, picking up cars that have stopped at red lights and dragging them around for a bit and throwing them off down hills and into cars. Even managed to hook up a car from behind and drive away with the driver still inside his car.
That's probably all I'm gonna do online, towing away other people's cars.

Nope, kind of a pain really but I'm not bothered if I am over or under anymore.

Quite possibly. I reserve judgement until I complete it, but damn does V put the fun back into Grand Theft Auto again. It's like San Andreas, but tonally more consistent, funnier, and featuring waaaaaaay less filler.
Indeed. I thought I was too jaded to enjoy the 'boring' and 'stupid' elements of games anymore, and it was just that no one has done it this well since then. I don't think it's the best game or anything, but it's the most fun I've had with a game since Vice City.
I did triathlon 3 today, it took so much longer than I was expecting. I was expecting another 5 minute race like the other two but it took almost 30 minutes.
Thankfully I won it though, but it almost turned into a disaster when I tried to cut a corner about 10 minutes in and slammed into a crash barrier that I never noticed so I faceplanted and had to go back and get on my bike.

But San Andreas was better than Vice City.
Seriously though, it is an amazing game. Can't wait for GTA Online and potential episodes from LS DLC.
Loved this game, a masterpiece! Rockstar did it again, and the multiplayer ain't even out yet!
Some Thoughts:
Love the clothes in the game. I almost spent an hour buying Franklin clothes. I wish there were better hairstyles, especially for Trevor...
Cops were a fucking nightmare to get rid of , even if you have a single star..
Love customizing the cars! I can recognize a lot of cars to their real life counterparts. Would have been cool if they had hydraulics to some of the low riders.
I love how they didn't completely abandon the last game, I found
in a random event with Michael and used him for all of my heist. Amazing touch.
I hated how Trevor killed
, he was a bit of a weenie in this game but he was cool and tough in the other one.
END GAME SPOILER
Fuck Steve.

I had to pick C. I felt as if Michael was a great friend and so is Trevor, no matter how nasty he is. Trevor had every right to be mad at Michael though. I couldn't really bring myself to get either. Even if i didn't like either of them, i hated Steve and Weston 10x as much, especially Steve.
Fuck Steve.

This game is blowing my mind.
I feel the same way. As has been said before, this is everything that a title like "San Andreas 2" would imply.
Fufu wouldn't have any of it, even after filling up her bar.
You can hold the cursor down to quickly add stocks.
No. Nothing beats Vice City.
Everytime I tried, I get message saying they "don't sleep around."

Mikey can only sleep with Sapphire, Infernus, Nikki, and Juliet. Not certain about the others just yet.
Edit: also, it seems as though you only get 2 ''nudes' per girl
Soundtrack, absolutely. But everything else? Disagree.

Just came upon this awesomely huge pickup truck in the desert. Don't know how common it is, but I don't think I've ever noticed one before. It's like half monster truck. Trevor's head reaches the top of the hood maybe. Scrapes the roof and just barely fits at all into his garage. And yes, you can run over cars, kind of. Not the neatest thing ever, but it can get over them.
It better not god damn disappear randomly, like vehicles tend to do for some stupid glitch reason. Put it in his Los Santos garage since the mariachi car I put in his trailer garage went missing.
When's this getting patched?

Until now. I mean it's still not 80s, but man is it fucking great.

Their representation of LA brings in some Vice City elements.
Although I think the city is pretty disappointing tonally. It doesn't have much personality to it. It's a good representation of LA and the map decisions are better (less crowding, ability to leave freeway via holes in barriers) but it's a step back, IMO.

So who does Chastity hook up with? Because she wouldn't come back for hot coffee with Franklin.

That's good to know. I've only done the first one so far and was disappointed it didn't involve racing halfway around the map like the San Andreas one. Good to know they get longer
I was playing as Trevor driving around the city of Los Santos, looking like the usual bum, sweat pants and combat boots. I stopped on the side of the road and jumped out of the car (Audi R8 look a like), walked onto the sidewalk and this chick saw me as she started to walk pass. She then pulled out her phone, called her friend and was like, "OMG, you can't believe the look of this guy I just saw...." and then started talking shit about me to her friend. Needless to say... I ended up shooting in her in the head. I figured that's what Trevor would have done anyway, lol.
And that my friends, was my awesome GTAV moment of the day.

Uh, I think they were just getting ripped off.
.
They wanted a key (a kilo) of cocaine, but were actually given an ounce attached to a drywall brick. So, yeah, the brick was to fake the size and weight.
Yeah, I don't bother with emails and texts outside of a squinted glance.
Super small text.

4 metres away is pretty far for a 50 inch tv. In my living room setup i sit that distance away from a 42 inch tv. Was so hard seeing the hud in games that i bought a 50 inch tv for my spare bedroom. i sit less than 6 feet away and it is just about right. i think 12 feet will be tough. er, sorry that i am not much help.

So earlier today I ran into a random event where 2 guys had this woman's car. I shot the guys, and the woman ran away and called me crazy. Does this random event occur again and does it offer a good reward?
Thanks for the quick response.
All he said was
Gold Coast Development is about to go under.

Alright so the more I see/hear about this game the more intrigued I am the more I want to play it, however here is my issue. The language in the game just grates on me. I can only hear jr high level vocabulary for so long. Is there a way I can turn off voices (or at least turn them down) and use subtitles? I just don't wanna hear it. Can someone please let me know if that is an option?
Wow, the flight school for helicopters just dumps you in it, huh? Had never piloted a heli before and the first thing it tells you to do, pretty much, is go through a bunch of checkpoints real fast. I find flying them easier from 1st person, and then I was asked to thread it between a bridge. Tutorial for helis could've been a lot smoother and a steadier learning curve.

I'm nearly through all the main story missions (59/69) and I wanted to say : boy the map is HUGE. Like ridiculously huge. I can't help to wonder, like, seriously, in a "normal playthrough", how much of it will I see ? I feel like there are lots of places I didn't visit, unlike the other GTA.
A tiny bit of complain : yes there is less filler in this game than its predecessor, but I feel like Blain County is a little under-used. You know what, RSG should have included a landmark option so that each time you discover a something (a funny place, some abandonned graveyard, a hill atop of the forest, etc), you get something toward completion. Kind of like Xenoblade. I know it would have motivated me to explore :d
Oh, and sorry, but collectibles in GTA games are still no fun. At least let us buy maps/hints to find them.

Yeah, it teaches you all you need to know about a plane, but then dumps you in a Heli expecting you to know it.
That ending...

Loved the game. Worth the hype.
(Ending spoilers)
Finally a crime drama where you can decide if the ending can be good! Normally in my crime movie experience, the criminals, no matter how likeable they are, die. I was really happy that I could pick option C, unite the homies, and destroy our enemies! I had a smile on my face the whole time. Overall the narrative was eh, But the relationships between the characters was fun to watch. Good stuff!

So nobody here knows about buying dogs?
No other dogs to buy, I'm pretty sure. Someone saw the unusable petstore in a video or something and started a rumor you could buy other dogs I think.

if you choose to kill one of the characters that character is locked out from the rest of your game... which sucks cause I didnt do any of trevors side quests... Im gonna have to replay and choose the third option, luckily I did make a separeate save a few missions before so I dont have to replay the entire game.
Buy it, not under its going to give an +80% return. Put everything you've got for all 3 into it.

Haha you didn't like Trevor? I'll admit he's a huge dick. I haven't played the other two options, but I assumed that was how it went down. I was hoping maybe you could switch to the one being killed and kill the other two, reverting back to a single protagonist, but I guess not.
