which city for GTA 5?

hory shit

(flying school was very hard)

another aspect i miss, that didn't appear in gtaiv, i know some people hated this shit (and personally pizza deliveries mission was waaaay too long and boring) but it would be nice if they had been included in IV at least changed to remain interesting. Vigilante was good though, but there was no reward for completing it, wtf?

in fact, there was no reward for finding all the hidden pigeons, and no reward for 100% completion either. How about some infinite ammo you sucks?

and the stadium missions too, fucking loved that kiststart type mission from VC and SA. All the great races they had in VC, and hidden checkpoint races. non existent in IV.

and Rampages (although they only appeared in SA for two players, technically still existed) wtf did they go?

VC Stories had a feature that enabled you to see all your collected-so-far hidden packages (red balloons) and jumps completed, on the map. would be nice to see this again.

Road stingers should return, they were a barrel of laffs

Does anyone on ilx play Mult-Theft-Auto, the multiplayer modification for San Andreas? It's pretty awesome, and has undergone a lot of updates since it's initial construction many years ago. I mainly play the SKC races server, some of the car mods they have are pretty amazing.

kickstart missions definitely missed from iv.

races in IV pretty much sucked overall, you could lap all the computer cars even on your first attempt at a race. terrible.

there was multiplayer for that kinda thing i suppose. although npc drivers don't behave like arrogant entitled prepubescent homophobic little shits.

gutted that it's not GTA Yorkshire. Still hope for Red Riding Redemption though.

GTA Ambleside - wasn't that a Half Man Half Biscuit album?

races in IV pretty much sucked overall, you could lap all the computer cars even on your first attempt at a race. terrible.

LOL, I stopped playing GTAIV at that race mission (the first one if there are multiple missions) because I'm so shitty at them. I tried two or three times and just gave up.

yeah as usual i am rooting for the internet to declare it a failure so i can snap it up for no dollars

i wish i could do that with life

is this the right thread? http://www.gamesradar.com/grand-theft-auto-v-locales-posters-revealed/

yes. stoked.

Supposedly some more details coming on the 8th when the game informer issue comes out.

lawks GTAIV + liberty city stories 75% off on steam !

erm seriously, i have to be signed into Live to save my game. SERIOUSLY YOU'RE TELLING ME I CAN'T SAVE MY GAME IF I PLAY OFFLINE.

SERIOUSFUCKINGLY!!!??"

new trailer next week.

haha and now the CD key doesn't work. what a joke.

yup, GFWL has always been bullshit

i managed to get IV working, but not Liberty Stories.

looks pretty good on pc, except for the water reflections. I keep seeing reflections of trees and car doors that don't exist lol.

anyway, sorry back to gta 5...

is this game going to have play dates like the last one

so multi-character rumor was right. wonder just how much it's incorporated and how it will affect feel of the game. looks fantastic predictably, also some diversity in terrain thankfully - san andreas was my fave and that sprawling aspect was a big reason why.

Really hope hackers get around that saving-online thing. That sound horrible.

Oh, that was in GTA4 and was because of Games For Windows Live. Which is now dead, I think. Seriously doubt they'll let the same issue into GTA5.

Yes! Planes are back! Also, yoga! Golf! Jet-skiing! Tennis! Base-jumping! Scuba-diving!

GTA: SA was my favorite, perhaps my favorite game of all time, and the main thing i liked about it was the sheer number of different things you could do. Sounds like they are trying to bring that feeling back, and i can't wait.

rockstar's comments on the size of the game makes me wonder if the commutes will be realistic as well

Kind of a pisser that even with three man characters Rockstar couldn't make even one of them a woman :(

Er, that should read 'main' rather than 'man' obv...

Yeah, i was thinking about that too. Why not?

I'd be interested to hear from Rockstar on it. The argument we've heard a million times before is that female protagonists don't sell but if one of the biggest franchises in gaming can't make one of three player characters a woman then things are even more fucked than they appear.

Mind you, given their track record with female characters in GTA games maybe we're better off without a playable misogynist caricature....

Q. There are people who still aren’t delighted by the treatment of women in your games.

A. Of course. But is their argument that in a game about gangsters and thugs and street life, there are prostitutes and strippers — that that is inappropriate? I don’t think we revel in the mistreatment of women at all. I just think in the world we’re representing, in Grand Theft Auto, that it’s appropriate.

So Houser's explicitly saying here that, in the world they're presenting, they're willing to make a huge effort to create the unusual and nuanced (for videogames, anyway) lead character of Niko Bellic but utterly unwilling to do anything to present women as anything other than sex objects in supporting roles? What a shithead.

I hope this 'switching' between characters in missions isn't a crucial element to completing a mission, I really don't want to do that. I don't mind switching characters when I'm in free roam however.

Those ATV pics are sweet!

and a full playable golf course !! I was actually pleased to hear them state that it was better hire coders to write mini games that are fun, rather then ones that are 'half assed'. A nice confession there to some of the dreadful waste of time mini games some of their games feature.

is there a golfing minigame in Gay Tony? i am half-remembering one...

yeah, it was terrible

btw our article is actually available for single issue sale on ios, pc and android, so um...thanks for posting the scans
