Who else is loving GTA V?

[edgecrusher]

I started it when I got home from work yesterday and played for hours, then I played for hours today. So far, it seems leaps and bounds over the previous entry. As is normally the case with this series.

It's on my Christmas list, so I'll have to wait.

 

[ardour]

Like it so far, except the sleaze and stereotypes are getting a little too much.

I'm still on the older one, I'll get the newer one when I've completed that properly.

Also I saw in the paper teachers were moaning about it all, how the kids are replicating the language and violence etc... It's a ******* 18 game and they shouldn't be playing it anyway.

Well, I am doing the same thing I do with every GTA. I complete the prologue then go as long as I can without hurting anyone, stealing anything or breaking laws of any kind. I spent the first 8 hours just exploring, riding cable cars, parachuting, driving the single car I have over stunt jumps and walking around all the scenic trails.

It's an amazingly well-realized world that does a great job of convincing me that it's an actual living, breathing area. It's a huge step up on the world from GTA4. It's also a marvel from a technical standpoint. The fact that it can look as good as it does and run on the current generation of consoles with barely a hitch is a phenomenal achievement.

I'm loving it! Spent my first night exploring everywhere, finding helicopter locations as I love flying. Only now am I actually starting to get on with some story missions so still very early in.

Also love all the mystery they've built in, not sure if anyone else has read about it or seen some of the stuff in the game. I probably spent an hour last night flying over a specific area and checking it out on foot thinking I had a clue. Went to Ammunation first to tool up, flashlight etc

Almost got eaten by a mountain lion, took him down just a couple of feet away from me.

So many amazing moments, the game is VERY atmospheric and has some points that are just pure beautiful.

Not even counting the online coming up soon, I can see me playing this game for months and months!

WWWWW - 5 W's out of 5

Hasn't lived up to the hype for me. And that's pretty much all it is. Then again, I haven't really, truly liked a GTA since Tommy Vercetti's.

 

[simhthmss]

you get to fight lions? fresia that actually sounds good, do i want to pay fifty quid for that though...hmmm arrr you guys are like satan inner peace or live half a year in fantasy land...even though you do get to have fights with lions.....its usually set in the us is there a zoo there or something?

That was a true GTA game, well if you don't mind I'll have your copy since you're not fussed on it!

 

[simhthmss]

yeah, last one i played was san andreas but i think vice city will always have good memories

so gta 5 any good or just hysteria bout a new game as usual?

 

[Sigma]

I'd get it if my computer wasn't nearly 7 years old, it can't run GTA 4 at double digit fps, so I won't even try GTA 5

 

[simhthmss]

i always for some reason want to be that woman in your sig's footrest lol...or sex slave im easy

I thought San Andreas was the worst one.

I just hope 5 doesn't have all the annoyances 4 had; cars turning into you, no cars at a vital moment when you need to escape, police cars/men every 5 meters (Like that happens, right?), friends and girlfriends calling you up each day, etc etc...

nah its not got that stuff , ive been having fun just playing tennis with his wife for ages, it, it is lame till you get past the very short bit at the start when youre the lame wanna be ganster and theres all that steriotypical black gangster talk where every other word is 'fresia' or 'nigger' then when u switch to being michael (in gta 5 through the game you change chatater and they cross and interact with each others lives, yeah when you get to very quickly being an older white guy (michae who got rich off a bank robbery) hes rich, got tennis courts and boats and loads of off mission stuff opens up (i prefer to mess about with the off mission fun stuff) like going to the cinema with quite a funny ricky gervais voice over cartoon film in it or strippers that actually look good and tennis courts where you can play a genuinely challenging game of tennis with his wife, im playing his wife at tennis for like an hour now, i hate to say it but....its actually...good

can u buy food im on half energy but never seem never find restarants i can enter like other gta's

Nah, you can't, but there are soda machines outside most establishments and you can enter small convenience stores, but good luck finding them.

It is a step up from the other GTAs, but there are some letdowns. The lack of building interiors, the inability to enter restaurants, the soundtrack, the fact that owned vehicles frequently disappear from game, the social club going up and down like a fiddler's elbow, not being able to upload screenshots and the iFruit app not working correctly are what I can think of off the top of my head.

I don't find the story very engaging either, but I'm still enjoying myself immensely and the improvements outweigh the disappointments.

 

[simhthmss]

like i was right the other end where mount chilliad is, id taken a tumble but tbh my way of getting energy is either finding those very rare health packs or simply killing the guy if you want full armour and energy for a mission, also i wasted most of the original like $8000 or whatevver on guns and strippers i want to make more from the ways i enjoyed in the other from like doing police work or ambulance work or taxi work in those kinds of vehicles but ive pressed every button so have they taken that out too?

im sorta getting pissed off with it i just want to make money and get easy energy, a gta basic!

is there a good way to make money off mission i dont know about? i know you can ram raid those cash vans but theyre pure chance im looking for a reliable way or is most of my money (to say buy property) going to have to be missions (lol in san andreas) i just cheated the casino in it and ended up a multi billionaire lol

because they have deprived me of easy energy and money sources i may actually use any energy or money cheats that there are considering ive no other options

Most of these can be easily resolved with an update... which is pretty normal for a new game like that.

Like play while eating fruit or something?

I play games until I get bored - that's healthy enough for me.
