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

Started playing this last night.
They really improved all the controls, car handling, character movements and the cover and shooting mechanics. It feels like a Best Of Rockstar. They learnt a lot since RDR and MP3 with controls. The GPS not being a top-down view anymore is a huge plus to find your way.
That said, the framerate is pretty disappointing. Is it sub-30 fps? I'm not as impressed by the graphics as a result.
I guess W101, Rayman Legends and Pikmin 3 spoiled me.

Best GTA character ever. The others are boring compared to this guy.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Brucie in GTA IV was amazing!
Shit, this pisses me off...
You can't invest in many stocks if you play offline. Just did the "vice assassination" mission, and come to realize that the ifruit stocks are only accessible if you have an internet connection to your console.
fucking lame. Can't max out my money unless connected.

Man, I'm loving the weird role play vibes I'm getting with this. Feeling much more inclined to dress up the characters and deck out their vehicles in distinct ways. I even play them slightly differently...
Michael: Skinhead and stubble. Polo shirt, jeans and leather slip-ons. Keeps a ridiculous modded yellow monster truck in the downtown garage for when he's feeling his age.
Franklin: Low fro and clean-shaven. Onyx earrings, white dinner shirt with chinos and doc martins. His default car is souped up and sprayed pure matte black. Playa.
Trevor: Grown-out crazy hair and full beard. Black sweater under army drab vest and cargos. Building a collection of weird vehicles at various safehouses and garages - modded truck, BF Injection, dune buggy, ATV, golf cart with no hood, etc.
Also I buy and mod pretty much all weapons with Trev, taking him on rampages and robbing stores, while the other 2 are a little more reserved in their everyday antics. The switching really is an awesome new dynamic; when I get tired of (semi-)serious missions, family life and activities with Mike, I start swagging it up with Frank, cruising around, getting drunk with friends and going to strip clubs. When I get tired of that, I just go nuts with Trev. It all feels so right!

Yeah this game tingles my role-play instincts... I tend to walk with my characters when I'm about to do something really cool, or when I'm approaching a person.

Playing as Trevor and being able to call
to hang out is amazing. The dialogue they have when they're drunk is so good lol

I do the exact same thing. I particularly like walking around as Michael with his little 'mobster swagger' in a sharp suit and a pair of aviators. I use the jerry can to spread some fire, light it, and turn the camera around so that he's walking towards it while the fire spreads and chaos ensues behind him.

Oh shit, you really can hide from police in bushes. Was heading to a far off mission in the middle of nowhere and had 2 stars from shooting the tank on a truck making a giant explosion, ended up cornered by a guard rail so I jumped over and ran down a hill. Saw a bunch of bushes that meshed together and did a stealth walk to it and all the police that were on foot were all looking around, clearly having their line of sight over me but not actually seeing me. Ended up getting away.

I hate flying in this game with a passion. It's the one mechanic that hasn't clicked with me yet, especially helicopters.

I gave Trevor the massive beard, because god damn does his voice not suit the standard redneck look.
Also, I hate him.

The only acceptable Trevor is long hair + handlebar mustache or stubble for the Waingro look. Don't forget the shades.
Brucie and Mary Ann should totally link up.

go to flight school.
also, get used to holding forward on the chopper, you won't dive/crash into the ground, you can regulate your height with accelerator/brake.
it is hard though, you need to up your flying stat with flight school quick. I had to do a mission in a helicopter with flying under bridges and maaan, using michael with no flight school, god damn.

That's where I am now, flight school with Michael. I think the holding forward with the heli is what's making me frustrated; I always think that I'm gonna crash lol. I keep missing the goal time.

He's Canadian, not a redneck.
You're not making it sound any better.

HOLY SHIT! This guy is a genius at using cinematic angles!
You make the investments before the assassination for the best results. Once you take out a dude, his company tanks and the competition's stocks soar. Just have to listen to what he says in the pre-mission cutscene. You buy the stocks for dirt cheap, make the assassination, and then sell them since their value skyrockets.
God damn that's brilliant! Dude wins the YouTubes for today <3

Stock question w/ end game spoilers: After
is it worth it to invest a lot of money into them? Or does their stock just stay how it is atm?
Merryweather's stock drops after the last mission

Ah, just noticed that it was edited so it wasn't as "perfectly" played as I originally thought.

Good god no. Cover mechanics maybe and the sliding over low objects thing without losing momentum would be nice, but the shooting mechanics in GTA V are leagues ahead of Sleeping Dogs. The only improvement the shooting needs in GTA are that the combat jog should be a controllable thing with the aiming reticule on screen contantly instead of just when you're shooting, and the aiming could use tightening up a bit. As it is the shooting mechanics in GTA are better than every other open world game. There's room for improvement but games like Sleeping Dogs just don't compare in that area.

Shit, I think I've done all the assassination missions, so I've missed the opportunity to take advantage of this. Looks like I'm going to have to make money the hard way.
Helicopters are a twitchy mess. I control them like I've got Parkinson's disease.

I am a bit confused. I bought smoke on the water and keep getting texts asking me to do supply runs and stuff but I am not sure where to find them.
