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

I would love to use the hood view while driving but they made the cam stutter way too much. I wouldnt be able to use the view for more than a minute without getting nautious. Which is a shame bc its technically the best view as no car is blocking sight.

Also, is anyone else finding it hard to locate fast food/restaurant locations? I haven't seen one pop up on my map yet.

When I watched the trailer, I called myself part of #teamtrevor. When I get him and his missions, I still stand by it! :D :D :D I'm a fan of illogical assholes.
 
Was messing around on a jet ski I stole before heading over to the shrink. I love how the game tries to keep the last vehicle you used because as soon as I left his place I found the jet ski on the side of the road.

I keep seeing them as I drive past and then realise I can't go inside or interact with them. I haven't seen any on the map, but I'm sure the game said I could buy stuff to eat. lol.

ha, yea, I accidentally ran over the entire crew at the end of the mission when they stopped abruptly in the canal.

And this! So easy to do.

They won't. No food other than vending machines.

How in the hell do you aim your weapon while driving??? It seems all my character does is just start shooting when I point the gun out the window. It's really frustrating not being able to aim first and then shoot when I want to.

Nope, that's it.

This is exactly what I run into as well. I see a ton of them but am unable to interact with any. And yeah, I'm pretty sure the game did say to hit them up to replenish health. Weird.

Quick question, what car camera do you guys prefer? I'm torn between zoom all the way in and medium?

Hood cam, always. So much more immersive. Weaving in and out of traffic, right at street level, is awesome! Plus, I find it easier to control since there's no camera lag like there is with the chase cams.

That's just for cars and trucks though. For bikes and such I use the medium chase cam.
 
Helpful tip to losing a wanted level. Once you out of sight of the cops, get out of the car and find some place to hide. It's faster to lose wanted level on foot than in a car. If in a convertible, do down the roof, turn off the radio, car and headlights.

That sucks but I can understand given the scope of the game.

Nope, that's it.

This I don't understand. They could have definitely done a better job on the shooting while driving mechanic. That's a huge part of gameplay, and the way it is done right now sucks.

I'm really impressed with the level of detail of architecture seen in San Andreas.
Not only can you see beautiful houses, but also well-built and with the right materials.
I don't know much about game programming, but I think Rockstar hired some architects to build some of the buildings or perhaps they bought blueprints to make &#8203;&#8203;an exact copy of some.

really? Shaking one star is pretty simple. Get out of view of the cops.. duck into an alley, behind a building, etc and just avoid the blue cones which is that police units field of view.

If you see one coming towards you.. move.

One star still takes about 5 minutes to dissapear.

Next time, count it.

You will be surprised at the results.

You can slow down time as you shoot from a car, as Franklin, Wei Shen style.

The mechanic really only has its use then. Heck, sometimes in the middle of a gunfight, playing as Franklin, I'll jump into a car to slow-mo shoot my foes.

i agree it would be the best but...

how the hell can you stand driving with that insane camera bobbing. gives me a headache. i wish the hood cam was smooth, then it'd be the best, but as it is i can't stand all the movement you get in it

Is it possible to turn off the car without getting out? I know how to turn off the headlights and radio

Really, no cluckin bell and burger shot?

I know we can rob 7/11's, but I thought they were possible too...

Pretty disappointing, fuck.

Also, any way to aim while driving? ( I don't want to automatically shoot and waste bullets, stupid design)

In IV, if you tap Triangle ( Y) you would exit a car but the car won't turn off, if you hold Triangle (Y) then it would fully turn off. In V, it seems to only turn off. That is annoying.
 
One thing I miss so much from GTA4 are the chopper controls. My God! They are awful in GTA5. In fact awful is gross understatement. Whoever thought it was a good idea should be taken out and shot. Just awful awful. I was dying to fly the frogger but that sit flee like a kite; I can't imagine how awful the buzzard will be since that one was already terrible in 4.

Does anybody know how many missions there are that result in big stock price changes? The social club shit was of course down when i did the first 2 Lester missions with Franklin, and no more have popped up in the last couple hours.
 
My favorite thing about this game is the proper blending of light and dark humor that has been missing in the series since San Andreas. Early LifeInvader/Lester mission spoilers:
Even though Jay gets his head blown off, his entire speech was so ridiculous and satirical. Rockstar finally brings some good, unrealistic humor back into the story!

My other favorite thing is that Rockstar acknowledges again that the other games exist in the same universe!

Wow.

I didn't really follow GTAV at all up until launch. Just bought it cause friends were.
Holy shit, I'm only at the first few trevor missions and I'm already blown away.

Fucking Christ, I can't even get the helicopter for a Bronze medal. I Gold'd every one previously.

Fuck flight school, I'll come back later.

Man, I keep going to properties to buy em only for it to be Franklin only. He doesn't have enough money yet to buy them either! Wish I hadn't sold my stocks as early as I did.. oops.

Can anyone please confirm if you have to go back to the business to get your rent or whatever or is it automatically deposited into your account? Curious if the hanger is getting money for Trevor or not.

Also, I am now at the beginning stage of heist 2. Can someone spoil for me how many there are total in the game? The first one was so fucking awesome.. I am anxious to pull off #2.

I wasn't even going to buy this game, but I (predictably) caved on launch day. It's fantastic and the little details are amazing. It's waaaay too soon for me to start throwing letters like "GOTY" at it, but it makes a pretty good case so far.
 
Any tips to climb onto the trains? I saw people do it on streams, but I try to jump onto one and I just end up headbutting the edge

Oh and ragdolling around is endlessly hilarious

Vied for a tag related to cocks, so here it is.
Holy fuck, I just did the... 4th heist I believe it is
bank robbery out in the sticks
holy fuck that was the most badass shit ever.

Also repeating my question from the previous page, is there somewhere I can view how many gold medals/medals in general I have? Can't seem to find it in the stats.
 
I wish the in game map had a satellite view. I whipped out my physical game map to help me with a jail bond. Brings me back to the old days though.

Do you mean mission completion medals? If so they are under the Game tab in the pause menu under the Replay Mission list.
