So, who is playing GTA V then?

[DamageINC]

The cops are a pain. I was walking by on the police station and some guy started talking a ton of shit to me and daring me to fight. I got in his face and the cop standing outside folded his arms and told us he was the law and we better back down. I decided to punch the guy. The cop killed me before i even got my gun out.

Maybe the version is lacking some features. Online would open up a whole new world of possibilities. You can do a ton. Might be worth buying for that.

This is how a guy described it to me on another forum:

The number of options is huge. I believe there are 500 online missions at launch, and they're constantly adding new ones and taking away missions that people have voted negatively on. They range from competitive deathmatches and races, to co-op story missions (the online has a loose story featuring characters from the single player with cut-scenes), to parachuting. All are full of insane variation; start a race and it might be stunt biking through an airport, or racing rocket-launcher equipped sports cars through the desert. You could end up stealing money from a bunch of drug dealers with your friends, or trying to kill a bunch of racing motorcyclists in jet fighters. You can play golf, tennis and the other side activities too.

There's also freeroam which acts as a hub to start missions where you can buy houses and cars as you rank up and get more money. As you rank up you'll also get access to increasingly more powerful free-roam options, from putting a bounty on a players head to ordering an airstrike. Rockstar are also in the near future adding a map editor so that players can create their own races and deathmatches which will be rotated at random too, so content will be essentially limitless.

The version includes multiplayer but you run the risk of getting your console banned. So I don't even bother. I'll hold off 'til a PC version gets released and if it has some sort of servers, then I'll jump on that.

And these cops easily whip out their guns. I walk by past them without a visible gun, mind you... Yet, as soon as I get in one of their cop cars they start blasting away!

I'll wait until it comes on on PC! Maybe someone could gift it to me at that time..

For now, I'm stuck watching the hilarious game play videos on Youtube.

 

[DamageINC]

No need for gifting. Just download it. Hopefully the PC version won't be a crappy port like IV, but i'd be surprised if it wasn't. If they really put some effort into it, the world would look stunning on PC graphics.

Funny thing I noticed is if you open up the stock market, the hand pointer is flipping you off

 

[DamageINC]

Lol. I messed up so bad in the stock market. Luckily it only cost me 5k. I bought a bunch of Lifeinvader stock after i killed the guy and it de-valued 240%. I figured it would rebound and I'd make some $. Last night it was @ -940%

Trevor is awesome. His missions so far have been pretty fun, except for that stupid gas pouring part. I thought my game was broken b/c i couldn't change to other guys, but once i drove back to Los Santos i could. Finally figured out how to aim by using L2. The specials help too. After i did the first heist i have lots of $$, although i was stupid and picked the cheapest gunmen because Lester said he wouldn't be important. Well, he ended up crashing and dropping 1.5 mill $.

Spent a good hour last night just driving around and un-fogging parts of the map. Found 25k in the hills on some back roads with a bunch of drug dealers laying around dead. Once i grabbed it, two punks on a dirt bike chased me and tried to killed me. Driving around the hills near the prison an escaped con car jacked me.

Awesome game. The word is so incredible i just drive around admiring it.

D, have you beat the game yet? I wanna play online with you guys

 

[mmnz]

the stun gun is the best gun, the noise the people make frying on the sidewalk? ahahaha plus if you keep shooting the body over and over again they just keep electrocuting and it makes virtually no noise so cops dont come much for tazing, also has anyone seen that blue dot thats two guys with their junk out with a woman tied up on the ground? or done those clown/alien missions? being eaten by a shark is pretty damn scary too

lol gonna try the stun gun on people. Since I beat the game there really isn't much to do, so I do random killings for an hour or so. I usually turn off the game when I'm about to get caught by the popo. Can't let them take my money!!!

And is that the side mission near the top-left of the world in a wooded area? I didn't notice they had their junk out. I was concentrated on being the savior Gonna try to youtube that part.

The only clowns/aliens I've seen is when Trevor/Michael get high and they have to kill them. Are there any other alien missions?

I've gotten eat by a shark once. :fuckthatshit: Any time I'm out in the ocean I make sure there's a boat or Sea Doo where I can jump on and shoot the shark

ya its just those missions, also any time blue dot people want me to drive them anywhere i always take them to the cult up on the mountain instead and customizing normally shitty cars is so fun, also switching to trevor is always hilarious to see what situation he's in when you do, my favorite is trevor wearing that dress, passed out on a mountain ahaha such a greasy guy wearing a flower dress makes me smile

 

[WaLLy]

I was when I switched to Trevor and he was in that same spot you mentioned. And I had a moment there too. I was kinda annoyed that he was out in the middle of nowhere! After I finished the game, I didn't realize I could call a freaking taxi to pick me up from anywhere (well, as long I was on a road that is). I was like all those stupid times I kept running trying to find a stupid car and I couldn't find one x 100

 

[mmnz]

oh whaaaaaat you can? shit ya i hated being on those mountain roads, crashing my atv and having to run for miles

 

[DamageINC]

I'm about 55% through. I play every three days or so. Since you can't really get into long gun battles with the police, it cuts down a lot on what there is to do after you beat the game, so I'm taking my time. Sometimes when I'm on the tops of mountains, i drive over the side. You can roll, crash and bang your way down the entire mountain. I do like getting 3 stars in the country areas when i have a buggy, modified BUG or ATV/Dirt bike and then taking to the beach/swamp areas or the mountains. Have had some awesome cop chases doing that.

Hurry up! I'm tired of having to deal with bitches like...

I just got it Friday. I kept getting in trouble in GTA Online because apparently they changed the controls from GTA4. In GTA4, you had to hold F/Triangle/Y to get in a taxi as passenger, or just tap it to steal it. Now they've swapped it so you steal it by holding the button. I didn't know this at first and I was wondering why I kept stealing taxis and getting wanted levels.

It actually depends on where you are when you press the Triangle to get in the taxi. If you're closer to the driver's side door, then yeah, you're gonna steal it but if you're closer to the back of it, you'll get in as a passenger.

Eh. I don't really need taxis anymore, just farmed a bunch of races this morning to afford a 2-car garage and parked my (front wheel drive D: ) car in it. Trying to find that one car that's like the Mitsubishi Eclipse.
