which city for GTA 5?

"Still got the old magic" here he's channeling Al Bundy.

Acquired this for pc. Enjoying it so far. Amused that the Giantbomb dudes elected Lamar as one of the most memorable/best characters of the entire year.

is the first person aspect a whole lot better? gave up on the orig about a third way through because of clunky controls and crap dialogue but i do love me a good fps

...not in cars. On your feet, yes.

It's way easier for shooting parts of missions.

I really like the way this game looks. We still have a ways to go graphically but this is a good example of AAA open world design. It feels like every square block has been meticulously textured and tweaked to have its own unique flavor yet blend in with surrounding regions. Just the amount of detail in a 4-way stop is incredible. Once I was checking my phone irl and the Franklin was watching people walk down the street. Someone walked up to a stoplight and waited. About a minute later someone else came up from the other direction and stood next to them. They waited for the light to turn red, the cross-traffic stopped, and the two pedestrians crossed the street. The individual AI might be simple but the interactions between systems is masterful.

gta v can be your life

I'm having a hard time coming up with an unused Social Club nickname. Is this my in game name?

It'll be what appears above your head in multiplayer, but shouldn't affect the single player at all.

I'm still confused over Social Club and player names.

okay, I'm on GTA Online now. Add 'DrunkDalek' to your crew, dammit.

Took 'em long enough

GTA:CATS

Is it too soon to start a gta 6 thread?

With this new gen of consoles, there must be one in the works.

I have to think that they'll do something like add LIberty City online next before launching a whole new 6.

Meanwhile

lol

There's been a four/five year gap between most of them, so doubt we'll see anything soon. Most likely must more add ons

Red Dead will come before GTA6

There's a side-by-side comparison on the YT page too.

Cool tune

The other day, I ran up to a helicopter as it was landing and pulled the pilot out so I could steal it. I managed to get a couple of feet off the ground before he recovered and pulled me out of the helicopter. But because there was no one piloting the helicopter anymore, it fell on his leg and it trapped him and I kicked him to death.

I'm considering walking around the entire island. Wonder how many day/night cycles that would take.

Actually prob wouldn't be possible since when you load up the game you start back in your safe house. No way I could do the whole thing in one sitting.

Still feel like there's so much to see and discover though. The whole island is like a huge work of art that I want to take in leisurely.

No kidding. I dip in all the time and, although I have a pretty decent general sense of the geography at this point, I still keep stumbling upon things I never saw before.

if you quicksave on your phone you'll load back from where you were instead of a safe house if that helps you out

Last night, I found a sweet spot for a standoff just inside a train tunnel where none of the cops could seem to get at me, except for the occasional SWAT dudes who would rappel from their helicopters only to be greeted by an explosive device at the bottom of their ropes. I kept it up for a full day of in-game time before I got bored and took a header into the gully below.

somewhere there's an online setting: start at safehouse or start at last location (iirc)

wishful thinking

That's great. whats the big part at the top from?

What is that pp, is that all of san andreas? or vice city?

look like a combo of all games, V bottom left, vice city bottom right, san andreas at the top ?

oh and IV top right

ah yes its all the locations in their correct proportional geographical positions according to the US isn't it

(ish)

Cheers Ste!

Ste otm.

No idea what that landmass is between San Fierro and Liberty City. It's fan art, so it could be anything.

it's fan art depicting a dlc that would include San Fiero (you can see the Golden Gate Bridge) and Las Venturas a la gta 3 version of San Andreas

is this the road where the 5's opening bank robbery happens?

Sure doesn't look like North Yankton/Fargo, but that's not a bad idea.

so i played through this recently finally, it sucks. nothing you do in it was fun. and i honestly don't get how people who have watched movies and tv shows before are genuinely impressed by the writing on this game. it sets up a basic, cliche conflict for each character and then just hammers on that for the whole fuckin game.and you're forced so many times to just drive for a long time and listen to trevor call michael a sellout snitch suburban dad again and again. and even in the last wet fart of a heist is padded out with shit like the whole 'steal three cars and drive them across the city to your garage' tasks. i was like, surely this isn't just a boring chore, maybe on the third car you get ambushed or something. no.
idk maybe ive just outgrown this series. they even fixed a bunch of the shitty gameplay elements that i hated in previous games.

I've spent about ten minutes on single player. Online is where it's at.

I honestly don't understand how anyone is impressed by the writing in 90% of games.

not sure why there's a woman in my garage today

She doesn't seem so sure either.
