which city for GTA 5?

i was just playing a mission where i had to hijack a big clunky van that didn't drive very fast, so i could barely outrace the cops, and of course i couldn't switch vehicles, and i literally spent half an hour driving around the map bored and agitated

they've captured the feeling of LA really well xp

ha

yeah driving in LA is terrible, making a video game where that's a big part seems like...torture

well it's not like traffic is a problem

I'm finding the chases are among the funnest parts of the game, actually. It's really exciting to have ditched the car somewhere and be hiding under a porch or in an alleyway while the police are searching the area, with your guns out, stressing out as they pass right by, saying DON'T MAKE ME KILL AGAIN-- or sticky-bombing the area where the cops will park to draw you out if they figure out you're there, or, as I did last night, parking the car outside a parking garage and leading a trail from the gascan right up the garage to where you're going to hide

one of my friends was p blown away that a bunch of his lil graffiti characters around la have been put in the game

i'm trying to join the ilx crew right now!

Last night I found the in-game stock market. I have a very robust and diversified portfolio now.

I've only had this explained to me today, but apparently there are two in game stock markets, one is unique to your game and reacts to things you do but the other is a true public one which inevitably has just been going up and up, so people who put money into that on Tuesday are already MINTED as a result.

Just spotted that the Paparazzo's camera is clearly a Nikon.

i have to admit i don't really understand the crew thing.

why is it filled with max payne 3 stuff?

the american apparel spoof on your phone's internet browser is quite funny/partly offensive.

loving the discovery of fave tunes in this, just roared away from the cops with "music sounds better with you" playing.

what I don't understand about the crew thing is why I'm the crew leader. I didn't make this crew and I haven't posted here in three years.

huh that's funny. i just figured you started it!

my assumption was that it had max payne stuff all over my screen cos the last socialclub thing i did was that game, and i don't even have GTA5 yet. maybe not?

oh hey shout out to 'crotchwatcher', that is A+ gamertag

lube up your eyeholes fucker cos i'm going to fuck your tiny mind

everyone feel free to post flattering and fulsome things about me here if you want special consideration at promotion time

Just stole my psychiatrist's Porsche and drove to a strip club, a setback in therapy #GTAV

I am beginning to feel this GTA boasts some deeper level of immersion than previous ones.

Also the pause/map music is incredible.

I didn't make this crew and I haven't posted here in three years.

Haha! Well, I made the crew and you were first to accept an invitation. Then I realised you could only own one crew but I needed to make another. So I left and rejoined, which I guess transferred ownership to you.

I think the Max Payne stuff is just because they haven't turned GTA online on yet so MP is still the only game that fully supports crews.

Also the pause/map music is incredible.
it's haunting my dreams alright

it's a bit like the end of Motherboard, maybe? And Take my Breath Away

Also the pause/map music is incredible.

YES

Stuck on PC. grrrrrr.

I have been wanting to replay Vice City, but I recently bought a 360 controller and on PC half the buttons DO NOT WORK and I went through a lot of keymappers, none of which worked. Finally I found this mod

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=162687746#114052

Apparently it works with San Andreas as well.

If you don't use that mod, your right analog stick (camera), the D-Pad, and the trigger buttons all do not work! Also, for some reason it would not work in "Windows 98 compatibility" (don't ask why this was set, I don't remember) I had to turn off compatibility mode.

I noticed in the opening creds that it's Tangerine Dream, the pause music and mission stuff. Really want to hear it all.

Felt pretty seedy in the strip club, it was a fact finding mission.

When does the online stuff activate?

great news: everyone except for Cozen has been promoted

Online activates 1 October

Just found out that since we changed our internet provider I can no longer get on xbox live w/ my ethernet cable, gonna have to invest in a dongle for a shit old 360 Arcade that I won't even want in 3 months, psshaw

Yeah I'll join once I hook it up again also.

lol @ the hierarchy now

i'm happy just being muscle in a solid, forward-thinking operation

!!! attn: Z S !!!

dude i think your twitter has been hacked irl

WHOA

sorry!! it looks like someone or something sent out dozens of direct messages to people.

weird. never happened to me before!

This game feels like it was written by a men's rights guy

how do you connect your ps3 to teh social club thing

also this naggy iphone thing is not good

This game feels like it was written by a men's rights guy

Maybe it's just that I associate GTA with Vice but I thought about Gavin McInnes a couple times

"i played for three hours and i feel like all i've done is drive around some strip malls"

that guy is having more fun than i did

Women in this game are either whores or shrews

The Tesla car is rad. I don't think I would have noticed it had I had not been wearing headphones.

lots of nice cars, find myself endlessly speeding around the industrial parts with their long straight roads.

that's in between feeding stray hitchhikers to cannibals.

Trevor is really something else.

Yeah I was going to ask people about the tone of the game. It's occasionally funny, one of the radio DJs screamed "the Internet is a k-hole!" last night, the shrink parody is good, but it's frequently juvenile, sexist, and kinda racist.

It could probably stand to be cynical in the way that exposes prejudice rather than cementing it, I mean like The Onion or something is incredibly dark but largely a force for good, and you imagine it has women writing for it, seems doubtful for GTA.

I guess all the GTAs have been a bit like this but this one is more claustrophobic and concentrated.
