which city for GTA 5?

Took me like 30 minutes max to install the game (on PS4). What could the difference possibly be between PS4 and Xbone to cause such a disparity?

i dunno but as a ps4 owner who recently got an xbone as well i've been dismayed by how long games take to install on it. it took literally all night to install forza horizon 2 from disc.

I'm PS4. No idea why it took me so much longer.

Maybe because I did digital download?

Download plus install would explain it

I completely downloaded it before I started the install though.

So I double dipped on this and don't regret it. Shit is SLICK on PS4. 1st person isn't as easy to play in, you really need the extra peripheral vision, but it's still well implemented. I use it mostly to just wonder around and look at stuff. The amount of detail in this game is super impressive.

heists.

i sold this game fyi

you definitely put a dent in it

i did it up, true

kind of a casualty of forza honestly, which got me addicted pretty badly, then i hit a wall and kind of hated gaming in general and got rid of everything

Bought the final property today, Golf Course. Done with this game.

ha i'm mad curious about these heists tho, i must say

the idea of complex cooperation with xbl randos is a chilling thought tho

think i've hit that same wall tbh

I'm playing through the story again. A lot of the stuff they added to the 360 version was added (e.g., flight school) after I completed the story, so it's neat to see it folded into the game this time around. The early flight challenges are really tough.

Festive update

The snow looks fooking amazing, but some new vehicles and weapons too

looking forward to pc release.

how lame would it be to re-play IV at this point?

Not lame, been thinking of doing that myself. Also want to replay San Andreas but that's a mighty ask.

The new Slamvan is terrifying, I've coated mine with chrome and I'm just terrorising everything.

Homing Launcher.

God this game got me again

these games are so long i can never even finish them once let alone multiple times

This ps4 only then?

no thats xbox 360

(the snow is only on the Online mode btw)

Ah ok. Thought it was some kind of temporary patch for the story mode. Would have been cool

the snow looks great.

are the multiplayer load times any better?

Never much played multiplayer so I can't compare really. Seems reasonable though.

Seriously though, I know they did the snow thing last xmas but it seems hugely improved this time around. Wish they could incorporate as a cheat code for single player, maybe at some point later perhaps.

Actually enjoying a bit of online action, it's a lot more open once you get past rank 5.

But parachute landing is still fucking annoying, I land perfectly in the centre of the targets but because of stupid animations it moves me 5 more metres out of range.

Are you sure you aren't coming in too hot

Had shoulder buttons pressed for a while, so should have been slowest

it's also about horizontal speed vs. vertical i think.

have they announced the date for pc release of 1st person? playing that using mouse & keys seems like it could be next step toward the ultimate STALKER game

are the multiplayer load times any better?

After some sessions on jobs I would have to answer. No.

Awful loading times for jobs. And it's crashed twice today, it's never crashed on single player mode in the past year and a half.

Yeah, they haven't quite stablized online enough yet, so I've been slowly replaying single player for the most part. I've also been struggling with the controls a bit. If you accidentally brush L1 while reaching for L2 you disarm yourself. In the heat of battle this has fucked me so many times.

lol I'm such a noob at this. Jobs are all a mystery to me, no idea what's going on. Everyone else on rank one million.

Blimey Goole, you're rank 220 ?!

yeah i was pretty zoned in on this for a while

How do I get in as a passenger? I just keep dragging people out of their vehicles

in what context? 1p? mp?

mp

for instance just trying to get in as passenger with other players

you have to go to the passenger side door iirc

Hmm, not sure how that would work for bikes though

After months of prompting from my brother, I finally started playing this about two weeks ago (GTA Online, specifically...I've still barely touched V). I think I'm kinda okay at it so far but nowhere near as good as these teenagers who've clearly grown up playing sniper simulators. All of the cars I've tried drive like ass so I generally stick to riding motorcycles. It's super fun to rip up and down mountains at top speed.

With respect to free play, I've slowly taken up the mantle of the Low-Level Avenger. Almost every time I sign on, I see these level 100+ chumps stalking people who have clearly just recently started playing. So, whenever possible, I try to take the upper-level dudes out. I mean, I usually get my ass handed to me (sometimes a half dozen times in a row, I'm still only at like level 32 myself) but it's been a good skill-building exercise. And on the occasion that I collect a bounty on a lower-level dude, I'll toss him a percentage of the reward to show that it's nothing personal.

I hate (HATE) the flying in this game. I was pretty good with the helicopters in GTA IV but I barely have any idea what I'm doing in this game. And the planes are a complete joke. I tried flight school but when I saw that the first lesson was loop-the-loops, I promptly gave up on that idea.

This is my first online gaming experience. The intensity of knowing I'm hunting or being hunted by real people (or avatars thereof) is both thrilling and nerve-wracking. I'm starting to feel like I need to implement post-GTA Katamari cool-down sessions.

I joined the ILG crew (OldLuncheonette) but I'm sure most of you guys have moved on to greener pastures by now.

I'll toss him a percentage of the reward to show that it's nothing personal.

You definitely don't need to do this. I don't think anyone has ever given me a dime.

when I saw that the first lesson was loop-the-loops...

The flight instruction in GTA V's story starts from a simpler place. I think there is some assumption that people won't dig into Online until after they finish the story, which is why it starts with more advanced techniques. In the story mode the first lesson is how to take off. Similarly the Story mode has a tutorial on how to do basic controls whereas online doesn't.

Yeah the flight school in online is waay more tougher and hellish than the story one.

i think i posted this upthread but the online flying races were a p good place to rack up wins, everyone is just so bad that taking a calm and level-headed approach usually guaranteed a win, it was never even close most of the time
