I completely agree. The breadth of this game is astounding. Yeah - Ocarina of Time or Super Mario Galaxy were great games, but the things GTAV accomplishes are in another class.
I don't believe in a golden age of gaming - we have more tech and better design skills so our "golden age" are always occurring and I think people get to hung over nostalgia when it comes to their favourite games.
Agreed; I always feel like I have enough money for what I want to do, sans buying property.

No crazy tricks here -- just be a badass and get out of there fast. Pull back all the way and get the jet off the ground as soon as possible, then get out of the base's airspace and get low. I've found it surprisingly easy to lose those stars once you're in the sky.
Downloading it now...says it addresses connectivity issues.
Well, it's still only showing Franklin as unlocked. It would be cool if you could just sync them manually somehow.
I was only ever really broke at one point and that was with Michael, thanks to the Epsilon Program. Those fuckers drained me.
I made it all back and then some though XD
you can jack someone else's car while in a car driving.
It's like that psp game that no one played, pursuit force
My man!
Noone else ever seems to give a shit about Pursuit Force. I loved those games to bits. I also adore the incredibly underrated Wheelman which is like a console version of Pursuit Force as well, plus spinning your car round in slow mo shoot someones tyres never got old. Ooooh yeah.

Seems like pretty much the same Lazlow we've been hearing since VC. His character changed a bit from III to VC, but he's pretty much always played a hypersexualized loser who is constantly living in the past, convinced of his own greatness.
Yep, look just below your minimap on the lower left, there is an arrow that updates depending on your next action. If it's "Straight" "slight left" "hard right," etc. Not that useful but good for planning what's next, especially on a long straight away.

not sure what that means or what that's suppose to mean lol. I guess it doesn't matter too much, don't think ive had to shoot while driving much in this besides 1 or 2 missions and taking out random thieves.
I'm still iffy comparing this with stuff like OoT and Galaxy. I know R* is a talented studio, but i feel like all the good stuff i enjoy about GTA5 isn't related to talented developers but more due to massive budget and time. I guess being able to get this kind of game out on current gen is quite a feat though.
So I modded out Trevor's truck, gave it nice wheels, new engine, etc, etc. However his truck still looks like a rusty old piece of shit. No matter what paint I choose, the rust is still all over the thing. Is there no way of making it look better or is that just how it is? Also, why can't I take modded cars through the car wash?

"Shooting with driving." I don't know why poster replaced "with" with the Latin translation "cum" given that "shooting" and "driving" aren't in Latin and "shooting cum driving" is not an idiom... Like for instance, "summa cum laude - with the highest honor."
But.. w/e.
So why can't Franklin play tennis? Have I missed an unlock somewhere?
I noticed that but didn't realise that is what it was, cheers

fine fine, i get it.... its just... idk teehee.
So is there a reason not have to suppressors on all weapons? i don't think firing power lowers and you can avoid alerting the police if your lucky.
I haven't played GTAV (although I have played the previous games), but I hear you on this. Sleeping Dogs was just so much fun, the developers weren't focused so much on making a massive world with nothing to do... they really nailed all the gameplay mechanics... the gunplay and hand to hand combat just felt great...
The trouble with alot of games these days is that they focus too much on content so they can write that as a feature on the back of the box... (im looking at you ubisoft)... but games where they add content that don't add anything to the gameplay mechanics or vary the way you play the game is very frustrating. I see why they do it... they have HUGE AAA teams with about 500 people... so they go with something basic in terms of gameplay, but then get 500 people to create content... in the end the game is just not fun. Not saying GTA V does this as I haven't played it - just a general statement on a lot of AAA games...
There is absolutely no reason to NOT have a supressor on your shotgun.

I did it first try. Heli'd far up over the ocean. Parachuted in and landed at least a 20 second run to the hangar away. Got the stars and didn't see any cops until I was in the plane. I tried to shoot a couple of missiles from the hip and had no idea what I was doing. So I hit the throttle pulled up and flew around. I flew high and never saw a missile or any resistance. Even with 5 stars. I was confused but pleased. Hardest part was landing that fucking thing.
Very true as often with video games, unlike any other medium, quality is tied to sophistication of graphics and technology.

were OoT and mario galaxy praised mainly for graphics and tech though?

So those quizzes you take to join that cult is a scam right? I'm not spending anymore money on that unless I get something for it in the end
Late catching up on this thread, but this is where I'm at and holy shit. There are moments R* can still surprise me. Love this game so much.

heists have some really good heisty background music.
I was in a fancy clothing shop with Michael. Heard gunfire outside but didn't give a fuck.
And then... one wanted star. What?? Had to flee on my bike. A cop car hit me. Wasted. Five thousand down the drain. Damn...
Question: there's some cafe called hookies or something. When i get near it with Trevor a shitload of enemies spawn and start to attack me. If i shoot them back the cops come for me. Went back there with Michael and nothing happened. What gives?

Do you seriously give fuck about a lost five thousand?
OoT and Mario 64 were I believe. Dat 3D open world at the time.
Galaxy was something fresh, but not necessarily new. It was like a sequel to 64.
Kind of like GTA V.
The difference is the scope of the game.I know I'm having more fun, and will continue to have more fun in GTA than in Galaxy.
haha I know. Even the chrome finish has the rust.
I love that truck though, dunno why. Seems to weave thru traffic quite steadily.
My question is why can't we mod cabs? Make it meaningful to actually roleplay as a cab driver! I think SR did this once... or was it GTA SA
Play Sleeping Dogs it has that
The Children of the Mountain one costs like ~$70,000 total but you get a sweet vintage Children of the Mountain t-shirt
at the time, probably. But they were more heralded for inventing 3d open worlds. Anyone not wearing a pear of rose-tinted glasses know those games arent fantastic, but rather blueprints of the better games that came after. And much of that has to do with sophistication of graphics and tech
I found that stupid, same with the other stuff
GTA doesnt need this Saints Row silly garbage

You are probably right as it makes sense. I guess I'm a little used to being reward-spoiled in most recent games.
Was one of my favourite games last year
I think Trevor should had been allowed to do the stealing cars stuff you like, Franklyn needed to have Sleeping Dogs fighting skills
Michael jump dodging ala max payne.
Rockstar really didnt think of how to make each of these characters really different from each other.
GTA has always been silly.

Do I need to sign into the social club while in the game somehow?
BAWSAQ always says it's down for maintenance or something and I keep reading on here that it's tied to the social club. I have a social club account and it's giving me my stats yet BAWSAQ is always down. What gives?

Tiny moment towards the end that I loved, late game-ish spoilers
Franklyn climbing carefully around the transport truck and releasing the Agent car. Matter of fact the entire conversation before that between Lamar and Trevor was amazing too. Great mission.

So I just had a bizarre random encounter.
Was that supposed to happen or did I fail something? Awesome nonetheless!
Lady at the side of the road, who had been in a car crash. Ended up finding out she was a criminal too but then she died...

I was under the impression that it was the biggest game world to date. The only other game I think could rival it would be Just Cause 2. I too would like confirmation on this though.
