which city for GTA 5?

Also the ability to take selfies is such a fucking great idea

Sounds brilliant!

Bar the torture...

Swimming in the ocean looks *amazing*, the water and waves are incredibly real

And omg @ being able to go and ride the fucking rollercoaster and ferris wheel on the shore.

The atmospheric sound in this game is amazing!

The driving is the same for the most part but the HUD is much better.

Listening to 'Big Log' and watching the sun set

My housemate busjacked a bus, drove it up a very very steep hill, then steered it off a cliff and bailed at the last moment. The sight of this bus careening endlessly down ravines, a la the Lisa Log from the Simpsons, had me in tears of laughter.

LOL I wrote that before even reading that Onion link too, hahahaha.

I'm hardly getting anywhere with this because I keep sitting gazing at the map screen so I can listen to that Tangerine Dream track.

reminds me a lot of the incidental music in HEAT which is obv a massive influence on this GTA

lester is kelso (tom noonan) with clint howard's face

trevor is obv a waingro rip

Are there any hidden items in this one, I've not come across anything yet.

And does the weather change? Not seen any rain yet.

These things are important to me. If there's no dynamic weather nor hidden items I'm going to be pretty cross.

yes to both

i think i love you

In support of this week’s worldwide release of Grand Theft Auto V, we’ve got a special pair of totally free companion apps that will be available for download starting today to enhance and aid your game experience.

Customise your car & train your dog - app integrated with your game.

iFruit is currently iOS only so all the best personalised plate numbers will be gone by the time it hits Android.

on a down point, frame rate is pretty turd. Looking forward to pc release.

Came across an old antique tractor, couldn't believe it but it was drivable!

(to be fair I have been playing Just Cause 2 a great deal on pc, and it has a silky smooth frame rate so I could just be used to that)

and also I keep trying to grapple hook everywhere.

JC2 grapple hook & parachute should be incorporated in every game

There's an OG Loc album on Franklyn's bedroom floor.

Yes I've noticed some odd rag doll stuff in my game. Like falling flat on my face when climbing rocks.

but the diving action when you jump into water is fantastic

needs to be pantless w/hat

shooting & driving just feels like GTAIV to me.

Noooooo. This has actually cast doubt on whether I try to pick this up any time soon... I found GTA IV damn near unplayable due to the way the cars drove. Like this syrupy no-man's-land between arcade driving games and simulations, but keeping all the bits that don't feel like real driving and all the bits that aren't fun.

I don't think its as 'syrupy' as gtaiv

jonah hill huh

I think the driving has slightly improved since IV, but the braking on motorbikes is too artificial. You can be going at full speed and come to an almost immediate stop, and turning is almost Tron lightcycle-like. Also I've dropped down mountains on a bike and it remains upright, just bouncing off the rocks and very easily controllable.

What about the radio? It seems sometimes that when I 'tune in' to a station the same track will be playing. Could be just coincidence as I haven't been playing that long, but I've heard "Still DRE" and Wham's "Everything She Wants" a hell of a lot. But it's still great to just race along the ocean highway at dusk with "Music Sounds Better With You" followed by "1 Thing" and "With Every Heartbeat" blaring from the car's radio.

1. knock out civilian
2. pour petrol over him
3. set him on fire
4. ????
5. selfie

Oh yeah, what is wrong with the characters in Blaine County? I stopped off at some small road side place and walked past this woman character who then said "I'm calling the police". I thought it was just some random dialogue, but next thing I know I'm on a one-star wanted level and I have to evade the fucking cops. Is it because I is Franklin? I didn't even hold up and rob the store (which is quite fun for a couple of times).

I couldn't stand bikes in GTAIV, awful control. They're improved for me in this one.

I found the muvva of all dump trucks too.

i don't think i have time to play a game like this (been working through the last Dishonored DLC for weeks now, 1/2 an hour at a time), but how's the Flying Lotus station?

I have the day off on Friday so I think I'll pick this up tomorrow after work!

ste did you play the gta4 dlc? they improved the bikes on that.

cara delevingne hosts the pop station and her dialogue is seriously awful, such a weird choice of dj (she's never done anything like this before has she?). was gona post about it on that crepey ile thread dedicated to posting unflattering photos of her but nah

I forgot to eat dinner irl yesterday. :[

Franklin's time slowdown ability allowed me to pull off a very fun last minute win in my first race.

Also I completed a round of golf. 11 over par wooooop woooooooooop

the golf is actually alright, I thought

Yeah I started to get the hang of it in the last few holes. It's more nuanced than the golf in IV. I *love* that you can either walk to the ball, use the golf cart, or skip ahead. Cool idea.

anyone get carjacked yet? i lol'd.

YES!!! I was in the process of carjacking someone else when dude comes up and tries to steal the car I got out of. I of course shotgunned him to bits until the car blew up. Hope that will teach him a lesson.

Yeah he won't do that again.

JimD: we both chose the same Rockstar Social Club avatar! Haha.

Don't forget to join the ILX crue, dudez.

what is it? what do i have to do? the word 'social' implies other people are involved. that makes me nervous.

Go here and create a profile, and link it to your console. Then search for ilx in the crews page.
