GTA V thread

[Milky]

Thanks to my inability to deal with motion sickness, the nausea and headache have now cut in from 6 hours solid gaming so, I've taken a forced time out. So far, I am loving it. So much you can do off the bat and the story so far is actually keeping me interested enough to not skip the cut-scenes. Performance is okay too (ps3) while playing but noticeable slowdown in cut-scenes.

Any one else had a tinker yet?

Installing as I type!

I watched a couple of youtube videos at work today, and when walking home I daydreamed of car-jacking my way instead.

Loved IV, V is already calling in me.

I've torched a sports car that was parked in a shady part of town, held up a shopkeeper, gone off-roading in the middle of nowhere, eavesdropped on some hilarious conversations and loads more. The best bit was crashing into the back of someone who told me in an English accent that I was a "f***ing moron"

I don't remember the last time I booted up a game on the PS3 or Xbox 360.
I normally only use the PS3 to watch videos and Blurays, and the 360 for HD-DVD.

Maybe this is one game I should actually both investing in

.

Just found a PS3 copy of GTA4 - didn't even know I had it - really should pay a more attention to console games

Have you been into a movie theatre yet to watch a movie? If not then I'd strongly recommend it, if only to see the preamble before the main feature begins...

Fantastic game though.

They've been banging on about the game, on Sky News, for the last few hours.
I might actually have to get this one!

lol - yes, the "rules" were hilarious. Film was mad though.

Hmm, that's what they want you to do!

The numbers are mind boggling - £170m to produce, predicted £500m in first week alone.

Not my cup of tea but fair play to them!

That really sounds like opportunistic media sensationalism to me. So someone get's mugged and happens to have a copy of the new GTA V on him. They just about managed to mention that his watch and mobile as well - which, let's face it, was probably what they were after!!

I'm really despising the media these days! I could rant on about stuff they were reporting yesterday but it's way off topic for this so I won't

 

[IDCHAPPY]

I really should pick this game up

 

[ZedEx48K]

So I got around to playing this today, aaaand my eyes hurt, I can't decide whether it's cos I'm a PC owner or that it looks like a PS2 game, low res jaggies with low ass framerate at times, if I wanted that I would be on an arcade machine!

Oh and for anyone that has played a GTA game before, it's just more of the same.

Bought it for my Son. Yeah I know he's only 9, but he's been to the titty Bar already for a lap dance

He does actually know it's a game and not real! before anybody starts bitching

Anybody know how to get to the Airport as he wants to jack a Jet

 

[ZedEx48K]

Heh, I was gonna make the master race comment, thing is I doubt the game is even running in 720p and after playing games smooth as fook in 1080p with everything dialed up to 11 it grates a bit.

As for the airport, yeah, drive there!

 

[bbz149]

Yeah I know

but seems the Map is only a small area and the outer is greyed out! Maybe he needs to complete more missions?

Despite finally owning a PS3 aquired a few months ago, I'm waiting to see if they do bring this out on the PC, for the above mentioned reasons. After gaming at high res for years on end, the few games I've played so far on the PS3, whilst enjoyable, (Ninja Gaiden 3 and Yakuza 3 so far), I can't help but notice the graphics quality at times.

 

[ZedEx48K]

Airport is South west, or army base is west north west'ish.

He'll need to be pretty nimble once inside the airport/army base perimeter as he'll get an instant 3-star rating and a big chunk of the LSPD on his tail! I've managed a jack a plane a few times and the view of game world from up high is amazing. Even more fun is jumping out of the plane at 10000 feet without a parachute!
