Instead of having the player hold the "fire" trigger halfway to run-and-gun, this would be better:
Tap "aim" button to enter run-and-gun hip-fire mode
Tap it again to exit
Hold "aim" to enter ADS/zoom aim, either while in normal mode or hip-fire mode
Letting go of "aim" after holding it will revert player back to the mode they were previously in
Sprinting causes player to exit hip-fire mode.

I disagree, combat feels a lot more fluent so far.
I've died A LOT in missions, but that's because I've put myself in silly positions.
I'm enjoying it.
GTA V's narrative is dependent on the characters and the chemistry of those characters though. Red Dead Redemption's narrative was dependent on John Marston's tale of attempted redemption. Mexico in RDR was meant to feel foreign and far away from what John wanted and needed.
GTA V doesn't have that aspect of being far away or being dragged away from something. I've never felt there was sort of grand endgame throughout GTA V until "The Big One". The characters interactions alone in GTA V amounts to the story.

I think stunt jumps require that you land somewhere pretty specific. I found one jump that threw you off one freeway and it looks like the objective was to hit the free way next to it. But I fucked it up and missed.
You have to look around and try to figure out what the "stunt" is.

I've done about 10 of them so far, but they're a real pain in the ass you have to make sure the car touches down wheel first on at least two wheels. The cinematic camera also makes it difficult to straighten the car out in mid-air if you don't get an even jump.
*edit, and yeah, as oneils said, some of them require you to land in a specific area.

They both amount to me doing job after job with payment or reward coming later. Always later. And then later doesn't happen.
Just seems to be a Rockstar thing to have that particular hump.
Loving the game still though. Just wish there were twice as many hours in the day, especially on these weekdays ;P
You can switch between cover.

Are you talking about the garage at his home or the actual standalone garages that are scattered about?

So simple, and yet Rockstar insists on making stupid control decisions, like having to hold down X to run and gun when in certain interiors.
I'm buying the original score fo sho.

I have two missions available for Franklin, but only see on on the map. Do "park getaway vehicle" objectives count as missions?

How about
--> Weapon out = combat jog, crosshair always on screen, always able to gun + gun.
--> Weapon put away = Walking speed, hold to sprint
Simple, intuitive, and gets rid of button tapping and "hold to jog" that no one ever uses.....y'know, like the exact improvements they already put into MP3
Well, there are two sides on this. One side has very few problems with combat and has enjoyed combat throughout the game, the other side loathes the combat completely and seems to never have fun shooting dudes. It seems odd to say people are being "forgiving" when they don't have any outstanding issues with combat. Should people automatically say the combat is bad because other people don't like it?
Seems like the combat is divisive, not inherently bad.

The movement state when holding A/X feels like it improves character handling substantially, but its annoying how I can't move the camera while doing it. Should definitely be automatic.
It wouldn't be too bad if the cover system was at least somewhat usable, but the fact is it isn't. It goes against everything i expect from a cover shooter and i find it hard to look past.
They should get rid of the cover system completely and do what Saints Row and Just Cause 2 do. I prefer run and gun shooters rather than some shitty cover shooter that can't do cover right.
I fully agree. Maybe it is because i haven't played GTA 4 in a long time, but to me the cover and shooting mechanics are pretty much exactly the same.
The on foot gameplay feels extremely clunky as well
Into the glitchy abyss. You didn't spend a "shit load" on it though. Modding cars isn't that expensive.

That all sounds really lame, heh. I guess I probably won't bother with those anymore then. Not worth the trouble.
How?
The fact that i haven't figured out how to do it after 20 hours of playtime shows how clunky it is

If you hold left or right then hit X/square while in cover, you can wrap around corners. Pressing up and square lets you vault/climb over cover.
That would work. My way would keep the cross hair off screen in case you want to just pose with a gun on a HUDless screen like a bamf

Hire Net_Wrecker.
Also, if weapon is out and you're in stealth mode you can still creep if you just have to have that combat slow-walk action.

I finished the game and the Character selector indicates that Franklin has 1 mission but I do not see anything on the map. Anybody have any idea what it may be? The only thing I can think of is some chick called while I was preoccupied so I didn't answer. She never called back.
Most likely a stranger mission that won't appear on the map until a certain time of day or something.
According to some people, yes.
You should also play other open-world games. Since it was said in the other topic that if someone has played other open-world games then they'll see that GTA V is not actually that good :lol
Try calling Tonya to see if you still need to do another towing mission. Also finish all of the skydiving activities to get the last mission from Dom.
The reason I think GTA V is so good is because I have played lots of other open world games haha. It only makes it more obvious how special GTA V is.
The house on the hills.
I'm poor, so it was a lot for me
If you care about modding cars go buy Los Santos Customs, makes all purchases free.
I agree completely.
I don't care if other people feel differently, they're welcome to, but to suggest that my enjoyment of this game is simply due to ignorance of other games is really obnoxious.
Anyone who has played a half decent cover shooter can tell just how bad GTA V is.
Mindjack has better shooting and cover mechanics than GTA V and i'm not even joking

If these controls were put into any other open world game with this much shooting, there would be complaints out the ass. The rest of the game is so improved over GTAIV that combat is being forgiven. This would be comparable to Sleeping Dogs controlling like an Elder Scrolls game except the fights were still designed with Batman counters and freeflowing movement in mind. These shootouts are deigned for quick, precise aiming and movement (or lock-on, unfortunately), but we're still controlling tanks. Well, they're more like APCs now, but my point remains.

Know you're being fictitious but playing other open world games(hell, every other one) is exactly what makes me able to fully state that GTA V is on another level of quality and interaction. Everything else just feels so barren and lifeless, the amount of detail built into GTA worlds when combined with the Euphoria system just elevates it to another plane.
Don't get the cover complaints either, in 40 hours of playing I have not had a single instance where cover didn't work(ie hitting r1 wouldn't put me down) Now, there have been times where I've tried taking cover behind a tiny rock or something and subsequently was shot in the head but that's to be expected. Also played using Free Aim for the entirety and it's perfectly serviceable. Lock on is horribly boring, just turn the sensitivity up and it's fine. And this is coming from someone who primarily plays on the pc.
Do think the gunplay could have been a tad more detailed though, it's still very fun and above games like Saints Row or Just Cause but the animations aren't as detailed as other Rockstar games. Shooting people in the legs doesn't make them limp as far as I could tell like in Red Dead and they removed bullet wounds(outside of the player character) for some reason which both Red Dead and Max Payne 3 had. Hopefully such things are improved for the PC version. Some incredible animations in general though.
And I disagree. I've had no issues with the cover system.
The cover system in GTAV isn't too bad, it is the shooting that is bad
Same, the only combat issue I have had is that sometimes I feel like I can take enough bullets to put down a fleet of elephants and other times, someone gets a lucky pot shot and I'm down. I try to "learn" how much damage I can take because I rarely find myself looking at my health in games like this but that hasn't worked here.
Most of the missions involving gunplay are.
You can find the Coquette all over downtown LA. It is by far one of the best cars in the game, along with the Pfister/Porsche 911.
Do you play cover shooters normally?
Do you actually like the cover system or are you just ''accepting it'' because you enjoy the game as a whole? Because if you actually like the cover system i don't even know what to say man
It likes to act like one though

Finally found a sort of solution to my problem :

Unfortunately I don't have any previous saves. So I guess I'm fucked. Unless maybe I complete side mission first. Maybe that will fix it b

yeah I think this maybe it. I did a jump twice. First I failed, as my car was sort of tilted and I landed on one wheel. Second time I landed it what seemed like almost the exact same spot, but I tried to keep my car level (difficult with the camera angle) I may have jumped a little farther that the first time, but really not sure.

If you're not in cover you die VERY quickly.
