You ####ers are going to make me buy this.

Maybe this helps...Don't expect anything more then a VERY polished GTA. Everything is improved and other then the first into scene, and unless you view it on Ivan's TV, it's GORGEOUS.

So it's essentially the same GTA but better looking , feeling, controlling.

Basically, what he's saying is it's like GTA, only perfect.

Until the next gen, yes.

so I heard that the strippers in this game show actual nipple instead of the pasties the previos games showed. anyone know if they show cooch too or if the girls are wearing underwear?

Very close to grabbing this on the way home. Damn you all.

Undies, but full frontal with nips.

Yes to nipple, no to cooch.

The first thing I did when I got done with the into missions was get myself kicked out of the strip club for excessive touching of the dancers. This is going to be a good game.

I guess I'm the only one that didn't run right to the titty bar. I got 4-5 hours in and did 9 of the 69 total missions and a bunch of side mission crap. Won a race, towed a car, etc.

I was going to download the iFruit app to my ipod, but I have to delete a bunch of music first. You're supposed to be able to train the dog on your ipod/iphone/ipad.

ETA:

Spoiler

Did the dog wander off on his first mission to bang another dog? I had no idea where he went, so switched over to him and BAM! there I am k-9ing another pooch.

Two very minor disappointments -

1. There's no hidden weapons laying around in back yards, behind billboards, etc. All weapons are either bought or stolen.

ETA: you still get a shotgun if you boost a cop car though.

2. No ambulance or cop missions.

Still have to try the taxi side missions. Franklin needs some money.

Interesting. Basically every respawn was a beeline to the nearest AR and Sniper rifle and possibly the grenade stash. I think having not booted SA in two, maybe 3 years you could still drop me in any point on that map and I could get to those pickups.

How is the motorcycle driving. That's usually how I roll, that is if I am to get this, which I'm not committing to yet.

 

[CBusAlex]

Seriously reminds me of LA and has done so since the first second.

A little too much like LA. In previous games, when you step out into traffic drivers would attempt to stop or at least swerve around you. In GTA V, this is not the case.

I was only on a motorcycle for one mission, but I found it very easy. They did a good job with the driving in this game, although a few cars could benefit from more weight.

Guy Finishes GTA V in one 38 hour marathon play session.

I didn't read it all because there's all kinds of spoilers, but the pic of him sitting on the couch after a day is pretty funny.

I am having some trouble staying awake, but at the same time I have achieved and sustained a “Neo-discovers-the-Matrix” state of driving that is at once highly aware and completely peaceful. Extreme maneuvers at high speeds have become easy for me, and because I am probably twitching somewhere and I feel that it is acceptable to mix metaphors, I will tell you that I feel like an NFL running back in his second year when “things slow down” and “you start to see the holes before they open.” Dear god I’m alone....

My mouth tastes like despair

Walked in traffic to jack a car and the dude knocked me down. I was like, "oh yeah???" and I pulled my handgun. Then he ran me over again and killed me. oursoneoutforfranklin:

Couple of other things I've noticed -

1. I'm finding the cops much harder to shake in this than prior versions. I used to be able to just stomp on the gas, go straight, and outrun them until they lost interest. They've got much better driving skills now and don't give up as easily.

2. I usually end up smacking / sideswiping other cars as I drive around. In other versions you would have the occasional guy jump out of his car and want to fight you. Last night, I hit some random dude's car. He gets mad and instead of getting out of his car, he chases me down the road firing his gun at me. At this point, I had no weapon to fight back with, so I'm just trying to out run him. The dude was a good shot and hit me a couple of times before I got away thanks to oncoming traffic. ROAD RAGE.

You have to make a bunch of quick turns to make them lose sight of you. Do that, then duck into an alley and wait and your wanted level disappears.

Personally, I miss the days when you just had to out-race the cops to the nearest Pay-N-Spray. Now those places won't touch you with a wanted level.

you're not supposed to outrun cops in this game you have to hide from them. once you're far enough away from them you have to find some back alley or something and wait until they're done looking.

I think that video games are like movies. A quality project will sell and a crappy project won't. The idea that rough-looking, quickly developed games for the iPhone are going to kill Grand Theft Auto is dumb. There is room for both.

I get wanting to go to the strip club and kill everybody, but I'm just kind of over getting a lapdance or a hooker in a game at this point.

Gotta say Lamar is maybe the funniest video game character I have ever seen. I think he is funnier than most characters on TV today.

Here is a short Lamar scene from one of the first times we see him, its like a throw away scene, but damn is it funny.

I finished GTA3 and GTA4. I got stuck someplace in Vice City, but I can't remember where or why.

I have only played IV.

I finished the storyline but didn't have the attention span to track down 200 pigeons, nor did I finish the jumps. If you did both, kudos.

I came across these guys too. Picked them up and delivered them to their destination and they gave me $1000. I can't figure out spoiler tags I guess so I won't say anymore...

Man... that one was giving me trouble... seriously failed like 5 times before getting it. Was still learning that you can't just speed away from police as in previous versions. You gotta watch the map and see where the cops are looking and either find cover in an alley or hightail it in another direction. Ironically, golf carts are the easiest car to ditch the fuzz in, for me.

My main reason for wanting to kill everyone in the strip club is to pass judgment on them and their immoral lifestyles.

Picked this up a little while ago, and the titty bar was the first place I went. It was awesome. You can make it rain.

This isn't meant to be at all disparaging, but the probability of any GTA game failing commercially is approximately zero. This is one of those franchises that is a must-buy for just about everybody. Unlike a Madden or COD that ships out annual installments, GTA games only come out once every few years, and they're a Big Deal when they drop. Elder Scrolls is the only franchise I can think of that's in a similar can't-miss market position.

The iFruit app doesn't work for me. Every time I try to log in, it says "Failure to load cloud saved data" and crashes.

Is it an easy game to learn with no past GTA or much modern gaming experience? Seriously, if you can see bewbs in the strip bar, it is more exciting than my real life right now.

Each of the games have a fairly comprehensive training mission that teaches you the basics. The barrier of entry is pretty minimal here.

 

[flysack]

I am the king of the almost encounter.

I finally get a stripper ready to go home with me. She tells me to meet her out back. So a boost a jeep and head around back...but accidentally hit R1 and pop off a few harmless caps. She gets scared and runs away.

Then I decide I'll call up Michael's loser kid and take him out for a good time, but as I'm heading to the meet up spot, I drive my motorcycle off a cliff. He responds with a text saying he'll be talking about my injury in therapy for decades (or something).

Ugh.

I did manage to shoot a pig in the temple. Not a cop, mind you, but a real pig. So there's that.

Practically all video games without the word "Souls" in the title have gentle learning curves, and that's especially true for games that are designed to appeal to a broad audience. You shouldn't have any serious problem picking this up and getting things down reasonably quickly.

This kind of game in particular is easy to learn because you can always just drive around randomly to learn driving, get into shootouts to learn shooting, etc. You don't have to rush the main story missions before you're ready.

PSA: cops get mad when you jump up on the roof of their car. Luckily they don't run very fast in sand.

Also picked up about 15 taxi fares (none of whom stiffed me even though the majority were black) and spent my earnings on giving my Rover a full chrome paint job and lowering it. Much fun.
