which city for GTA 5?

love it

Such a rich open-world canvas, yet so boring compared to, say, Skyrim.

witcher 3 is like skyrim, but better.

I'd rate the top PS3 open worlds (that I've played) roughly: Skyrim > Just Cause 2 > GTAV > Lego Marvel Super-Heroes > Red Faction: Guerrilla > the Saints Row games

Good online sesh yesterday. The levels seemed nicely balanced (no level 6000 douches), and this one dude with seemingly endless cash was putting out bounties on everyone and hiding out in weird places, forcing everyone else to alternate between running/hiding for their lives and forming shaky alliances in an attempt to waste this clown. I managed to land a helicopter on top of his jet while he was hovering thousands of feet in the air...and then slid right off his wing when I got out to sticky bomb him. But I managed to hole up in that one airport building and survive my own bounty in the face of a siege, which felt pretty badass.

I played this for the first time in ages a few weeks ago and had an epically fun time playing VIP with this dude for an hour--after which he invited me back to his yacht, which was cool as I hadn't seen one, but then I was like, are we just supposed to hang out now or... I felt strangely out of my depth all of a sudden and felt compelled to make an excuse and take off. "ok gotta go!" and jumped overboard, like in a movie. It was so weird! First time I've ever had IRL-style awkwardness in a video game.

I felt wrong about stealing one of his jet-skis, and was halfway through swimming back to shore when it occurred to me I could just log off.

Ha. I accidentally joined a heist (no headset) and backed out as soon as I realized, but I wound up in the dude's apartment anyway. So I just hung out for a few while he was out heisting. Nice pad, totally felt like a B&E.

Always felt weird going to parties in someone's apartment. And everyone would go downstairs to look at the host's cars.

There was this period where you could kill yourself on whiskey, beer and cigarettes. So I'd do that, die in someone's apartment, and then go back there when I respawned to see a double of myself walking around.

i was kinda not paying attn and didn't realzie this was an ILG thread and got veeeeeery confused

Well I used to do that IRL too, but not really.

This online racing in the sky expansion looks pretty good. Might have to reinstall

Installed ... Most fun I've had in the game in ages ... Try "city air"

Holy fucccccc

To think I used to get excited about whatever homemade race it was that had ramps over the interstate overpasses.

This isn't coming to xbox360, is it?

I caved and got this for PC, it's currently on a deal in Steam.

First person is great in car, but a bit rubbish on foot imo. It's alright if you're in a shooting part of the game but general running about doesn't do it for me.

Am enjoying the extra wildlife (the eating peyote thing is a bit lame tbh), and obviously the better draw distance and smoother graphics.

Nice bonus because I already own on console is that it opens up all those extra cars in the main game.

ha holy shit

That's fucking insane

Like, I have done all of that. In GTA.

ban this sick filth

what an amazing video, music, lighting, everything. did this guy die in the end?

Nah, he respawned a couple blocks away.

pretty sure that was staged that guy is s pro stunt pilot

yeah very clearly staged, cmon you guys

i do not want to believe

feel pretty dumb for missing all of the very clear things.

you should!!!!!!

New stunt races who's in?

My gang tag still says ILGG lol

Yeah I'm still part of that crew

Word. What are the chances but I still see these ridiculous people that beat me in these races (dnf crew posse in effect)

The initial 20 seconds kind of determines the race

DNF crew 4lyfe

So they've essentially ripped off Micro Machines. Yes I wish this was coming to the Xbox360.

Excited for it. I've always enjoyed pitching the camera all the way up when driving around and lamented that you can't permanently set it that way, ie earlier gtas. Also a fan of micro machines (ps1 days) and even RC pro-am from the NES.

driving roman to play pool listening to "sexy movimiento". halcyon days.

i played gta5 a bunch back in the day, on xbox 360, but never dabbled much in the online stuff.

now i have a ps4 and i want to dabble in the online stuff. my question: do i have to do anything in the single player game to unlock stuff in the online mode? and/or, is there some code (god i feel old, sorry) to unlock the full game so i don't have to do all the missions again? it was fun, but if i'm going to play the single player again i just want to have everything unlocked.

Single-player and online modes have very little to do with each other. They're about as separated as Vice City and Vice City Stories.

Very interested in what you find online using a PS4 though. Rockstar stopped updating that version awhile back.

ruh roh, maybe i won't do it then. why'd they stop updating it? also, i just saw it's still $59.99! what a bunch of shit!

Because you're supposed to be playing it on a PS5 now?

No, wait. PS4 is the current one. PS3 (the one that I had) is the defunct version.

hahaha

ok, that makes a little more sense. $60 is still kinda steep, though. can't i play it for free and watch 30 second taco bell advertisements between missions or something?

I think it's £25 in the current psn sale. Might not apply outside the UK.

yeah, still $59 in the USA. however, i just bought it because i am in the 94th percentile of Impulsivity

is there really no way to disable voice chat during missions and races? i see that you can disable it during freemode but i can't seem to find any information on muting it in other modes. the last several events have featured some little kid talking about his mommy incredibly loudly and constantly! i guess i could try to find my own headset and talk about my mommy too

Moscow

HOLY SHIT

wait sorry ignore me

false rumor

hahaha, what was it? i like false rumors
