which city for GTA 5?

The multiplayer was amazing

until about 3/4 of the way through when i realized nothing was going to change.

until everyone turned into zombies, which was actually super fun.

The last 25% of that game (pre zombies) is pretty dang unique and cool

Yeah Red Dead multiplayer is the only reason I'm excited about GTA online.

most disturbing trevor switch for me. waking up in a bed, next to a man dressed in some pink outfit, sobbing.

Hahah bloody hell. Once in N's game Trevor woke up on the side of a mountain, wearing a dress and shoes and long socks, muttering about being buggered by aliens.

made 300k on the stockmarket booya

so many more cars as you gradually progess in this game.

I can't afford any of the properties, I really need to work out how to use the stock stuff. I did get a tip from a random stranger, but the market he mentioned didn't even exist!

try buying some HAL, that's the stock ppl are gaming

I'm up 600k now

The Tinkle stock the airport guy mentions is only on the bawsaq, which only works when you're signed in to the social club

No internet on my Xbox means I'm getting shafted with the stock market atm because both of the assassination missions I've done as Franklin for Lester (where he tells you what to invest in to make big money immediately after the hit) are related to stocks on the Bawsaq market.

up 2.8 mil on HAL. not sure when to pull out #lifeinthefastlane

let it riiide!

haha that's a reddit thing, i see. how do you feel about that?

http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/55711/t1906439-stock-tip-invest-in-hal-hawkandlittle-on-bawsaq/

it's going to be really interesting to watch how bawsaq moves, and on what inputs.

everybody on ilx is always complaining abt reddit

just pumped 20mil into pisswasser

not to get into WoW territory here, since idk anything about it, the whole concept of a fake economy is sort of fascinating. esp one that's subject to organized manipulation.

that first mission with michael/trevor/franklin together made me like this game again. super awesome especially for a series that is not exactly known for good mission design

while not without occasional misfires, improved mission design and integration into the flow of the game are the biggest reasons V is so good.

The mission design is awesome. The only two missions I haven't immediately wanted to play a second time were the yoga one and the big rig+stolen cars one.

My personal favourite so far is Trevor chasing the burning plane on a bike

is there in-game internet? please say yes.

There is, but it's pretty underdeveloped

Pitchfork: And you actually appear in the game.
FL: I'm in the game!
Pitchfork: How did that happen?
FL: I was in the right place at the right time. They were wrapping up some scenes in the game, and I was in New York, and they found a part for me that's in the story. I play some gangsta-ass motherfucka from the hood [laughs], and there's a scene where I'm playing basketball. When I recorded my lines, they had this headset that they put on you to capture all your facial features and everything, so they got my face. It's super weird. That's another reason why I wanna beat the game, so I can see how I'm represented in polygons.'

lol, i love that he's in the game and hasn't seen himself yet! (from earlier in the article it seems that he's at the 40% mark)

going to be p.nice in GTA 6 on new hardware when diplo, skrillex, calvin harris, & zane lowe can all have a three hour radio station each

I haven't played this yet, but the mission design is better? And yet the game is super easy? Those seem kind of contradictory.

I mean I guess they could just be really fun yet really easy

the mission design is better but the game is super easy

both statements of fact

they're just a bit more inventive (though they do fit the standard 'go someplace - listen to some chat - go some other place - kill someone' formula) on the whole w/lots of checkpointing thrown in and there's not much model airplane-style annoying failing

map stuff is particularly otm

To actually play the story missions using free-aim is to make GTA V ruinously difficult.

um waht no

just no

all good points. max payne was so smooth.

i shd try free aim! why not.

i like having to look at the minimap to get my directions. the huge glowing signs in saints row fuck with my precious immersion.

in re kotaku gripes

i got kinda good at the gun range challenges, tho it's an absurd bitch running through them 3x (if you care about the xp)

annoyingly some of them only seem possible to gold if you've modded up the weapon in q

ok fuck a yoga mission you guys

17mil up on HAL now yassss

I thought i'd already bought HAL but seem to have messed up a save. Finally got the mission that introduced Michael earlier this evening. I'm becoming determined that this is the first game I see through to the end. Miles behind everyone else, though.

Haha:

Pitchfork: What was your favorite video game before this one?

FL: Final Fantasy VII, but it's a little dated now....

re: lotus not finding himself in the game: i know several actors who have done voice work in GTA and have never seen themselves in game. It's a big game and rockstar doesn't even send you a copy of the game!

"So what other voice over acting have you done?"

"I shouted 'CHEESY VAGINAS' in grand theft auto four"

do rockstar pay their actors well? can imagine it being like the music rights thing - heard somewhere they get a pittance, real payment is exposure to a global audience.

on another note, what's the difference between 'traditional gta' and 'assisted aiming'?
