Didn't play Vice City or San Andreas enough to know, but I agree that they kinda suck. I wish I could have Ambitionz az a Ridah, Still D.R.E, and The Next Episode on repeat at all times.

That happened to me too, in the middle of a random encounter.
I'm so jealous and envious of you guys, i didn't want to take off of work at the beginning of the week, so i have to wait till tomorrow evening to start playing this!!! It is insane how fun and deep this one is compared to GTA IV. I will make up for making myself wait though, gonna grab some good ass hot wings for dinner with snacks for later. I will be playing this all weekend starting tomorrow night, yay!!

Holding up traffic in ma dump truck.
So, I just switched to Franklin, and I see him with a marker and writing this on the fucking wall...
I am going to look into this some more... Too fuckin cool
Also, why is the thread title like that? Why not something witty, like, "You ain't gotta like it cause the GAF gon' Love it."
I switched to the same place, isn't it just the list of cars that you need to get as part of the story missions for the guy whose name I have forgotten?

This game really is something else. I'm checking out Franklin's new pad
, you know, just checking out the details and shit (all these safehouses really are pretty damn detailed
) when a prompt appears to "take a hit from the bong". I look down and hey, there one is.
Fuckin threw me for a loop. Rockstar has pretty significantly outdone themselves with this game yo
in Vinewood from his first assassination mission with Lester
but this one is just fucking beautiful
I was expecting some generic stoner shit but I still got a kick out of watching Franklin smoke weed and wondered what would come next. I definitely did not expect him to break out into moments of somber ass stoned out self reflection that effectively evolve his character, exposing pent up feelings of self loathing and loneliness while he's trying to convince himself he's actually happy.

I think the people who find the radio selection 'disappointing' are just annoyed that they don't have a ton of real popular old songs like the old GTAs? Because that wouldn't make any sense for a game emulating present time.
I think it's the best radio selection they've ever had, and there's so much of it.

Posts like this make me hope for a PS4 version and lots of crazy videos with the Share button.

Perhaps, but I want to see him get chopped by a shark or something silly. I care for the version in my game <3 Think it's really awful that they tie tricks to an iphone app. Really, really hope they patch in a in-game version or at the very least expand it to Android and Windows Phone given all 3 of the major OSes are represented in-game.

I switched to Trevor and
It's a reference to this FourPlayerPodcast vid:
he's riding a scooter, yelling "We're scooter brothers!" near another guy on a scooter.
Anyone else dislike the tone of the jokes in the game? I mean, no real life radio/TV commercial would purposely degrade their own product (our game is a rip off of every FPS shooter out there! or our burgers are filled with more fat, sugar than you need daily!) or how the Facebook in the game is called Lifeinvaders, no one in their right mind would have named it that (Bleeter being Twitter is the right way to do it). Even the news are totally over the top and no journalist would do it like in this game.
Obviously it's not to be taken seriously, but you can make fun or parody real life events without making it totally unbelieveable, it sort of takes me away from believing this could be an actual real place.

My game is still showing Franklin as having one available missions even though I did all his Strangers and Freaks missions. This is bothering me much more than it should be ha.

LOL, thought it was a Max Payne cameo for a second.
Back from an 8 hour session from this game. Thoughts:
Probably my game of the generation. It's too good.
- Only 20% through and there is so much stuff to do.
- Really dig Michael and Franklin. Trevor IDK yet. Haven't gotten far enough with him.
- The controls are great for me. The only issue I have with them is the difficulty shooting from the car.
- Cars look great. City looks great. The whole map looks great.
- The lighting - so perfect.
- Finally, an incredible GTA story.
- No way this will not come out on PS4/PC.

played a bit more after my laughable 'where is michael' episode.
game is solid, played tennis a little seems OK, but I wanted to play only one set, beat the girl then it was 'side change' and I had to quit because crime isn't going to commit itself.
did check out mt chilliad for a bit, managed to murder myself on a trailbike almost immediately, but that's OK, walked out the hospital and spur of the moment murdered a couple security guards and took their van cash, then escaped into the hills on a nearby 4x4.
great game all around.

Who doesnt carry some form of ID around as an adult? Also lol at the "Go home and steal stuff bro" line
Does the blonde girl Michael jogged with ever show up again?
OTP.
Certain missions for all three guys will show up as available missions for all of them because any can start it.

You know what is fucking awesome? Rebel fucking Radio.
It has my GTA V theme song:

Also, Channel X is a fucking awesome classic punk station.

That's what I thought at first too, but this has persisted for a while. It was like that before the first heist and I just finished up the Trevor intro and it remains. Right now all that's on the map is a mission that Trevor or Michael, a Trevor Strangers and Freaks missions, and a Trevor rampage mission.

Anyone know if there are any garages beyond the safehouse garages and the 4 car garages each character has? Running out of space to store the cars I'm modifying.

So you can only have 4 cars per garage? I was wondering myself if we can buy like a huge garage.
I don't see any properties like that on the map

I had this as well, was googling and it says 'RB' but that keeps making franklin leap against the wall and take cover. I ended up just waking into the house and he tells chop to piss off.

Lol anyone else get the GTA V pulse elite headset? Does it help the experience?
I don't see why not. I plan to.
I have the old Stereo Sony ones, and I've never been more thankful for them. They add so much to this game because the sound design is insane.
Also blood looks real good on this game.

Anyone have any clue how to make enough money to buy the golf course at the end of the game?
Bishop89 you have to wait until you can buy properties and then buy the sea place off the west coast near paleto bay.

Nothing has ever taken so long to download
Just played the first 10 mins of it. Quick thoughts (no spoilers):
-The game jumps straight into the action from the get go unlike GTA IV's slow beginning.
-Controls feel the same; driving is a bit more cartoonish/arcade but still weighty. I crashed my car into an intersection, spinning mid air before hitting the wall sideways.
-The humor's intact pretty well.
-The guns sound weak and lack oomph.
-The voice acting is fantastic.
-Evironments ooze with so many little details that I gawked at. Rockstar has one hell of a good art/animation department; they're kings at making detailed rooms and environments.
-Music so far is good (both original score and licensed music).
-The in game radio talk sounds a bit too low and I'm wearing Turtle Beach X1's.
-I haven't tried out/accessed any of the Social Club because I have no internet set up yet; I've been playing it offline as a result.
-Texture pop up is god awful; I'm gonna buy a 16 USB drive ASAP before it kills the rest of my experience. The credits cutscene made it super obvious.
-I cranked up the sensitivity to 9 upon recommendations in the thread and switched to Free Aim. It feels better in this game.
Time to play a bit more before knocking out. I currently

dropped the car off at the dealership, met Simeon talking to Michael's son, heard them talking, and now I have to walk back to the car and join Lamar.

These missions are so good. I'm super interested to see how thing play out in the story and I've only played 5 missions. This is like a really good movie. Also, Michael is super badass.
