I must be blind cause I don't think I've ever seen an option to look at them at any of the clothing stores I've been to. Are they store specific?
Same here. I thought that was odd.
I'm not even close to beating the game. So maybe he turns up later?

Anyone else get this glitch? Very mild spoilers up to maybe the first ten missions or so:
Wherein walking into Franklin's house while being chased by cops and causing his aunt to run out of the house, then loosing your wanted level in the house, which caused her to reappear in the house, and upon walking outside of the house literally an infinite amount of her, Lamar and that other dude pour out of the front door until the game locks up? I managed to snag two pictures:

Trevor is hilarious. I hate him, but he's hilarious.

Wild assumption:
Since all 3 main characters interacted with him at some point I think he might turn up in a main mission at some point.

They're on little stands usually close to the counter.
They're in shops like Binco and Suburban, not the posh one that does suits.
I got a pair of Ray Ban-like shades that look very good on Trevor.
One question I have about clothes shopping though; will every branch of the same chain sell the same clothes to the same character?

Wat. The tennis is pretty crappy from my experience. The AI doesn't even do anything. Zero challenge whatsoever which makes the ok at best gameplay mechanics worthless. Seems to me like the only point of playing Tennis is to grind your strength stat, because it sure isn't fun to play.
Look for an icon on the map shaped like a house. There is a clue there for you.
My least favorite character tbh
Hairstyles maybe? There aren't that many.
Still kinda confused. My longest character switch has maybe been 15 seconds once.
And you say you loved San Andreas? With its loading times on every mission? Interesting...
My favorite GTA main character used to be CJ but Trevor has so many things going for him.
When I do something completely stupid like kill someone randomly like get out of a moving car and fly headfirst into a concrete wall as Trevor, I feel like that's totally in character for him. Emergent gameplay meshes with the story!
He's not stupid even though he seems like it. He says some insightful things, has a good vocabulary.
His face is really expressive. I wanted to get him a beard but don't want to cover his expressions.
He's a bit like a much crazier version of Boyd in Justified. <3
It's too easy on normal. I haven't tried the harder difficulty yet. It's nicely done though.
Yeah, I have a feeling that's how it will play out.

I just love that little detail that older model cars do not immediately start. This happened during a mission for me where I had to chase someone, and it took like 5 seconds before the engine started.

Can I toggle the suppressor on or off in real time like I can with the flashlight attachment for weapons?
As someone who played a lot of SA and has nearly finished V - you have some SERIOUS nostalgia goggles on, and you sound extremely lazy about doing the most basic things in this game - things that were way worse in SA. How did you finish SA if you can't handle the load times when you switch characters (maybe 10-15 seconds)? Missions start instantly here, unlike SA. C'mon son.

In my opinion, Grand Theft Auto is a game in which you play various missions, each following a particular storyline. Grand Theft Auto is a brand and a background (the expression comes from the American penal code) more than anything. Yes, you can drive cars, but so can you pilot boats, planes or bicycles, play tennis and so on and so forth. It's not the only activity nor the main one. If GTA was a driving game then why would Rockstar have hired writers and voice actors?. GTA is not Forza, Gran Turismo or even Burnout.
Driving is fine when the distances are short and there aren't too many obstacles but in this game you are forced to go through long roads and tedious amounts of traffic to go from one mission to another. The map is basically a giant mission selection screen in 3D, through which you have to drive to enter your choice. It certainly required a huge amount of work and technical achievements but it's inefficient for that purpose (a simple Mission Select menu in the Pause screen would have reduced the user's inputs to a few button presses).
Saints Row 4 implemented a decent workaround by giving your character superpowers. Cabs are bad too because, while they do reduce waiting times, it's still too long and you are penalized for it (skipping the cab driving part costs you money) and you're forced to stay in one place and do pretty much nothing. In SR4, however, flying and sprinting in Saints Row 4 does not eliminate travel times but it makes obstacles nonexistent and you can mess around in the air or on the ground so it doesn't kill all the fun.
I haven't played San Andreas in 9 years so I must have become less patient since then. Perhaps the things I ignored back then would strike me as tedious today. I suppose it's best if I don't play it again.
Holy Crap! I knew I heard this somewhere before!
Think this game is going to hide ALOT of fan service!
Besides purchasing the game and telling other people it's great, how the fuck do I thank the team for this incredible game?
There's so many little things in this game which some developer sat in a meeting room fighting for, these tiny silly little touches which in 99.9% of games would never be added and 99.9% of the time wouldn't be noticed. Somehow, someone though has managed to add just immense detail to so many parts of this game.
The moon cycle seems to change, right now I'm paused as I type this and it's very close to a full moon, I can drive completely headlight free on the roads, it's much brighter, the lighting is fantastic.
I noticed my shadow was based positionally from the location of the moon itself.
It was so peaceful I shut the headlights off and just cruised the goddamn highway with the radio on at the speed limit, in first person view.
If you hit the rearview (R3) button while in FPS view, Trevor (presumably all) is then in the shot and he looks up at the goddamn rearview mirror - they animated that!
Sound design is often overlooked in games - not here, not even slightly. Again - some nerd developer(s) with a passion for good immersive sound, petitioned for a slice of the memory pie here and won.
When you stop a motorcycle you've just thrashed, the motor "ticks" as it cools down.
I walked past a body shop (NOT a pay n spray, a normal non functional / non enterable building) and you could hear the whirr of an air pneumatic drill for fucks sake!
The dialogue as you walk past people, that's been in GTA historically but it's so real. I walked the streets of my city today, for the first time after a 4 day GTA binge, it was just like the game, people on their phones, you just head a sentence snippet of conversation, it's magic.
The presentation of the story in this game is leaps and bounds better than previous GTA games (and I fucking LOVED GTAIV, loved it) - the way it's told, the setpieces are incredible such as (50% spoiler?)
or whatabout (50% spoiler) the scene
Then there's the (40% spoiler) OMG holy fuck amazing beautiful, incredible fucking scene where
incredible, it's amazing it's........ beautiful it's so well done, the music track that starts playing.
That's the other thing, did GTASA / 4 - did they have 'forced' music scenes (in game) like this does? Some of the heist / action music is brilliant - what about the chopper music at night? Jump in a chopper and this moody as fuck little tone comes on.
This game is mind boggling, it's fucking next level mind boggling. I had high expectations, I had extremely high expectations and it destroyed them. It just decimated them.
The draw distance, resolution, frame rate, detail are all higher than GTAIV - I expected an improvement but for 7 year old tech? How, how the fuck is this running in 512mb of ram? (and on my system, it's 256/256 - not shared)
I could write for days, I feel like there needs to be a thread just dedicated to the little details in the game. I've noticed so many and written so few down unfortunately - but just so many little amazing touches, SO MANY. I suspect a heap of them will never be noticed by most people.
I dunno, I just dunno what to say, these guys - I mean yes they sold a lot - but I just want to thank the whole group - they all come together to make something beautiful.
Best 4 days off work EVER. Fucking GOTG, straight up.

the mission shooting down the jet with the high powered rifle and then chasing it on the motorbike
where you steal the car from the parking lot, and it still has that actress in it - the end of that mission was the clincher for me, game of the generation
Jimmy spikes the drink - that scene is fucking ...

Given that there's a Store prompt (triangle) when in the clothes shops in single player, I'm guessing outfit microtransactions?
rofl that sounds too creepy.
When you're selecting your weapon press left/right on the dpad to select modifications.
This is my first post on the GAF and I'm going to use it to echo what everyone else is saying: This game is SO good. The lighting, the radio stations, the way Michael reacts when he loses a point at tennis (it's so much like me, it's uncanny!)
This really is a creative and technological tour de force. Kudos to R* and to all the people who do it justice with their wonderful photos from in the game.
I took three days off for it and now I'm back at work I'm 'jonesing badly' - in the vernacular of GTA IV.

Ending spoilers so don't highlight unless you've beat the game!
When you choose the kill Michael path, at the end where you can choose to drop or pull him back up what happens if you pull him back up? Does the game then end or does it lead into the third ending?

I watched it on YT and...
it looked like the player tries to save him, but Michael headbutts him and falls to his death anyway.
If you mean like the original score, then no, V is the first in the series to have that. They did it a few times with licensed music (like Michael Jackson always on the radio when you first get into a car in Vice City) but never with a whole score like this.
It definitely adds a lot. The score is amazing. I'm finding myself actually turning the radio off in a lot of missions just so I can hear it.
Just beat the main storyline, really enjoyed it.
My complaints for the writing in the start smoothed out greatly towards the last quarter of the game. Definitely be going through again to try the different heists in the game, so far it was definitely worth the wait. Glad I got to beat it before vacation in four days, it took me like 25 and a half hours to beat which is stellar but that's only with 61.3% of the game completed so I got a long way to go yet, plus all those gold medals...

I agree, I'm red-green colorblind and it's a little tough.
I've got the digital version and haven't seen any issues with it that would hinder my enjoyment.
I drove up a mountain on a BMX and drove all the way down scot-free lol. My hand was hurting lol.
It's pissing me off that social club is having issues. Can't take pics half the time
Is there anyway to turn off the engine while in the car or have indicators when turning? Sounds like a weird request but I love dat immersion

They are color coded, like every missons icons on the map.
And you get the third character... by playing the story. Since he's introduced following a certain event.
As for the loading times, other than the one you get when the game starts, I didn't see any.
Haha, yeah, I loved the intro to that mission
the dialog with the dog was awesome

It surprises me when I see complaints about the visuals in this game. I mean sure, there are some little IQ issues caused by aliasing, but as a whole package, it's shocking that this is being done on a PS3. The lighting impresses me the most, but there are also some areas with great texture work too.
This has been the case since the original GTA so again, why did you buy a game which contains a lot of driving if you don't like to drive in games?
