Forgot it had to be at night, thanks. Found a new race icon.
78% and I want to get that 100%. All seems pretty fun except for the 2 collectathons. Not looking forward to those. They were lenient on the 100% requirements, except there
They were too lenient. Also you only need 25 out of 50.
They were too lenient. Also you only need 25 out of 50.
Everywhere I read that 50/50 is needed for both scraps & parts. Jumps & bridges is 25 (thank god)
Map at the bottom of this page highlights what you've found: Rockstar Social Club / GTAV / Checklist
EDIT: And click "NOT FOUND" to reveal those.
I must apologise to a few of the folk here who talked about the movement of this and Max Payne 3 and I said GTA V was better in movement terms (compared to MP3 on console). Utter fucking nonsense on my part. (apologies especially to you Net_Wrecker )
I seen Max Payne 3 on the cheap for PS3 a few days (£7 in Asda) and decided to pick it up despite already owning it on 360 and PC. Unlike when I played the 360 version I managed to get the controls just right and feeling good. Fuck me, I love the combat in MP3 so much. Max is a bit slow but the movement, turning, taking cover and shooting from the ground - it all feels so damn fantastic and the combat is an absolute joy in both movement and shooting. Whilst bullet time DOES give you an advantage I still found myself able to react quicker compared to GTA Vs shooting. PC is still my favourite way to play it but I had so much fun playing through the whole thing again on console. Something like my 6th time playing through it
Anyway in relation to GTA V I'm still really surprised they didn't just lift that whole system but I still don't think it's awful. Whilst the one thing that stood out in comparing the two was the character weight in GTA V and how heavier it is I feel with a few tweaks they could make V's much better. For a start when you have a weapon out you should be constantly in combat jog. I noticed how much better this was when playing a deathmatch last night, my character never seemed to leave combat jog and it was just more fun to play that way. As well as making the aiming reticule better and always on screen I think that would improve it tenfold. Still, maybe with GTA VI we'll get a perfect combination of both.

There is one you have to do as Frank to continue the main story, after that the rest can be left.

The ability to soft press the R Trigger to bring up the reticle from the hip fire/run & gun position eliminates a lot of these issues as far as I can tell. The camera shifts so slightly when you do this that it functions much like a persistent crosshair. There's also an intended delay when between releasing the trigger and exiting hip fire mode which allows you to sprint and roll without much difficulty.

When combat triggers you shouldn't have to do the half press of R2, it should just stay up and then 30 seconds after leaving combat it should go off unless you holster your weapon.
The save corruption shouldn't happen now that they disabled auto saving while switching to online.
5K is the hard cap though, my characters usually are broke/cash poor as almost all of their money is in HAL and Pisswasser.

The problem I'm having is that the single-player mode seems to be showing more glitches and pop-in since these online updates.

Received an update from Rockstar regarding the Singleplayer 'freezing' after completing 'Surveying the Score'
Credit to Rockstar for replying and being aware of the issue, but man that's one hell of a bug to allow to slip through the Q&A process. Allowing a mission point to trigger early and skip content!

I may need one of these.

Whoops, I forgot to do a Heist before the Assassination. A few (100)k shouldn't be a problem in the long run..

I really like how the cover system's distance has been buffed, the ability to swap to nearby cover has been added, and that hip-fire has been brought in from Max Payne. For me, apart from the occasional qwerks in Euphoria (present in every R* game since GTA IV, but less so here), it makes it a pleasure to move around a fight. Whereas MP3 has a John Woo balletic quality, GTA V goes for that 'down-n-dirty' Heat/Urban Combat style. I enjoy the fire fight's rhythm and welcome the difference, personally.
The health system is much more convenient than previous entries and definitely has a place here. Even if enemies didn't damage you as hard as they do, I hated having to scour a map for a vest or health pack every time I wanted to do anything. The half regen thingy gives me enough breathing room to carry on a fight even if I'm on my last legs whilst not being OP like, say, Conviction.
Nah, I liked the (as I said) grungy quality of the fire fights in GTA IV. I just didn't like wrestling with the controls. Now they've been massively revamped by mixing in the MP3 DNA, I'm a happy bunny.

GTAIV is the worst feeling AAA game I played the entire generation. I didn't like how it felt on day 1, and I grew to dislike it more and more since. Any HINT of that game in GTAV irks me to no end. After Max Payne 3, the control mechanics and animations in that game should've been Old Yellered by Rockstar North never to be seen, felt, or heard from again. The fact that there are remnants of it in GTAV is enough to dock a point in a review IMO. It's unacceptable.
As for the distance on the cover system: I find it just makes cover more cumbersome. I'll often try to take cover on a pillar, or some thin object and be magnetized to a fence, or another wall, or some random desk, or whatever the environment is. You can barely cut off the cover animation, then it takes ages (relative to combat speed) to get off that piece of cover before you lose half of your life. It's still a janky feeling system IMO. And in regards to the health system: The characters are so weak, and the enemies so accurate that regen barely does anything. Same for vests. Without any strong visual feedback, you go from fully healed to near death in the span of 3 seconds and die without getting to react, partly because the enemies are so lethally accurate and partly because the mechanics aren't up to snuff. I'm not even kidding when I say Red Dead Redemption felt more coherent and comfortable in combat. On top of that you still take incredible amounts of damage from everything to the point that I wonder why they even upped the level of crazy if they were still going to make the player so fragile.
But man, you seem to have enjoyed aspects of GTAIV's combat, so we'll never agree on this. I'm obviously in the minority as all the 10/10s and 12 million+ sales show you.

You.. uh... you didn't like the combat in RDR...?

Again, pointing and shooting at dudes: Amazing. Even better than GTAV because the sound was top notch and the hit reactions were more dramatic. Moving around? One rung above GTAIV. Passable, barely. That game makes it work, though, wiith the Dead Eye mechanic, wider combat areas, fast close quarters executions, and a tougher main character. But at it's core, it's still not great. Good at times, mostly mediocre (aside from hit reactions and sound, like I mentioned)
Max Payne 3 is the first time a Rockstar shooter came together during gameplay IMO. I hope it's not the last.

Max Payne 3 is certainly their best shooter by far. I guess that's because it is strictly a shooter.
Yeah, I've never had a problem with RDR or GTA V. Judging from the general feeling on NeoGAF, I guess I have low standards XD
You're not alone. Combat feels good to me in both games, especially compared to other open-world games.
edit: I agree about characters being a bit too fragile, though, and body armor should be stronger. But I have no qualms about the game mechanically or control-wise.

I wouldn't say that at all. Most people seem to have no issue with either game's combat system, and GTAV has gotten hundreds and hundreds of "Game of the Generation" kind of reactions. It seems like MY standards are too high, but I'm not willing to lower them because if I can't be at peace with the controls, I can't fully enjoy the game. I'm picky, and I'll admit as much. I can't turn it off though, not for games that rely on their mechanics so heavily.
Which is funny because I'll go into a game like Beyond and lower my standards to the point that I'll end up enjoying that game while half of the forum hates it. #hypocrisy.

Nah, fair play, I see what you're saying. Controls are your link to the game world, so if they're getting in the way of that or you're constantly wrestling with them, it means you're concentrating on the controls rather than the game.
Put it like this: I'm the kind of person that liked the controls in Metal Gear Solid 1-3. XD
I wonder how much of those GOTG calls for GTA V are going to be tempered by the shitty Online launch...

Oh dood, MGS 1-3. Oh man, you're crazy. I've beaten all 3 multiple times but man.....MAN. :lol
And lucky for me I never expected anything from GTAO. I knew from the jump that they were biting off more than they could chew on these consoles, at least in the early days. If the game felt like MP3 I'd be willing to suffer the brokenness for crazy run & gun strafing wars, but nah. I'll sit back and see what happens. I'm already juggling like 4 different games, and next-gen cometh. I'll let Rockstar sort that mess out.

So many times this. GTAV feels a step down from RDR when it comes to combat mechanics. Very disappointing.

GTA V has better combat than RDR. RDR has a better balanced health system.

I had time to watch the whole Godfather trilogy over the weekend while collecting the ship parts and letter scraps lol
I'm glad (in a way) that it's not just me who's experiencing this. Game's SP performance has significantly declined since the 01/10.
Anyone know why that would be?

Oops, sorry, thought this was the GTA Online thread!
In case you did mean GTA online:
Buy one. I think you have to be level 5 (which you'll get to very quickly if you just started).
Open your phone, go to the browser, go to the ... Dynasty8Realestate website or whatever it is. It's under money and services. On that site, you'll find a few dozen properties, garages, apartments, and so on. Pick a garage, click buy.
Some people said you get a free garage for joining the social club ... but ... I don't think that I did.
In case you didn't:
You get a 3 car garage by default, but I also think that you can guy them. Check the same website.
Wow.
If you ask me from my experience with others, it seems that people have tons of fun ruining others' enjoyment online. The majority of random gamers online WANT to wreck your day.
Since then I have dumped all three characters money completely in the market. HAHA GAME. Hedge Funds.
Now I can walk around, steal and kill who AI want with no penalty but having to commute from a hospital.
Incidentally had a remarkable moment.
Trevor found a little hiding spot in Vepucci Beach, a little fenced slotted area where if you walk into it, there's only a 1 foot sliver of opening for a cop to see you.
Terror after terror, I clotheslined ladies, taunted and punched out men, scared the hell out of the boardwalk. I'd get my star and run to my place, 10 of 10 the cops would roll around, right past me, even with the 'view cones' lit on me. For a second there I thought I had discovered a serious crime grinding location in the game.
But I decided to up the anti, I started shooting folks. First time, got away with it, but the cops were actually on foot searching the boardwalk this time. They left the cars on middle of the walk. Next time, a little more, I sprayed 3 gatherers down, ran to my spot. THIS time, the cops come from the east, they split and search, someone finds me from a slight view above (I'm down a hill). After that it was on.
I was quite impressed by the little elevated effort and strategy by the cops there.
Well...that's that then
The knife flights & stunt jumps were a bloody pain in the ass. I know many people here found them easy, but for some reason I just sucked at them
I agree, knife flights and stunt jumps were the last thing I needed to do, almost threw the towel in.
If you needed any more than 8 knife flights or 25 jumps I would have never done it. so friggim frustrating, I'm glad the controllers are well built.

lol RDR>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>every other game released by RS...
next gen RDR2 PLEASE.
Why? Because it has a full health regenerative system in tact? Fuck that noise.
And Max Payne 3 has better combat than both RDR and GTAV if we're going down that Rockstar route.
So, the Intel dude saying GTAV PC is around the corner? How about that?

I almost threw in the towel multiple times with those 2 remaining. I watched some YT vid of a guy doing all 50 of the knife flights...he made it look so easy. There were a couple there I would NEVER be able to do (notably one that is in an S shape...watch the vid and you'll see what I mean)
tbh...I thought 25 of the jumps was a little excessive, I was sick of doing them after about 12...but hey, it is their version of 100% completion...they have to make it kinda tricky.
I found the stump jumps alot easier with that $10k motorbike...the cars just flip over way too easily and can be a pain to land the jumps. The sanchez is ok as well, but it doesnt have enough speed for alot of the jumps.
All th rest of the jumps and knife flights can go to hell now, sure it isn't true 100% completion...but I'm done with it lol
Just out of curiosity, what is the point of playing a game out of frustration, just to get an arbitrary 100% marker? It doesn't unlock anything, as far as i know.
Yes, its personal satisfaction I guess. If I left the game at 98.25% (or whatever it was) completion...it would be always nagging at me, but now I feel I can walk away and not turn back lol
There is also one strangers & freaks mission ("The Last One") which doesn't unlock unless you get 100%
Man I wish the plot could keep up with the outrageously amazing score.
