Are there any hidden items in this one, I've not come across anything yet.

And does the weather change? Not seen any rain yet.
These things are important to me. If there's no dynamic weather nor hidden items I'm going to be pretty cross.

on a down point, frame rate is pretty turd. Looking forward to pc release.
Came across an old antique tractor, couldn't believe it but it was drivable!
― prop forward turned celebrity chef (Ste), Wednesday, 18 September 2013 10:16 (eleven years ago) link
(to be fair I have been playing Just Cause 2 a great deal on pc, and it has a silky smooth frame rate so I could just be used to that)
and also I keep trying to grapple hook everywhere.
― prop forward turned celebrity chef (Ste), Wednesday, 18 September 2013 10:19 (eleven years ago) link
JC2 grapple hook & parachute should be incorporated in every game

Yes I've noticed some odd rag doll stuff in my game. Like falling flat on my face when climbing rocks.

shooting & driving just feels like GTAIV to me.
Noooooo. This has actually cast doubt on whether I try to pick this up any time soon... I found GTA IV damn near unplayable due to the way the cars drove. Like this syrupy no-man's-land between arcade driving games and simulations, but keeping all the bits that don't feel like real driving and all the bits that aren't fun.
― CraigG, Wednesday, 18 September 2013 10:59 (eleven years ago) link
I don't think its as 'syrupy' as gtaiv

― Mordy , Wednesday, 18 September 2013 13:08 (eleven years ago) link
I think the driving has slightly improved since IV, but the braking on motorbikes is too artificial. You can be going at full speed and come to an almost immediate stop, and turning is almost Tron lightcycle-like. Also I've dropped down mountains on a bike and it remains upright, just bouncing off the rocks and very easily controllable.
What about the radio? It seems sometimes that when I 'tune in' to a station the same track will be playing. Could be just coincidence as I haven't been playing that long, but I've heard "Still DRE" and Wham's "Everything She Wants" a hell of a lot. But it's still great to just race along the ocean highway at dusk with "Music Sounds Better With You" followed by "1 Thing" and "With Every Heartbeat" blaring from the car's radio.

Oh yeah, what is wrong with the characters in Blaine County? I stopped off at some small road side place and walked past this woman character who then said "I'm calling the police". I thought it was just some random dialogue, but next thing I know I'm on a one-star wanted level and I have to evade the fucking cops. Is it because I is Franklin? I didn't even hold up and rob the store (which is quite fun for a couple of times).

I couldn't stand bikes in GTAIV, awful control. They're improved for me in this one.
I found the muvva of all dump trucks too.

i don't think i have time to play a game like this (been working through the last Dishonored DLC for weeks now, 1/2 an hour at a time), but how's the Flying Lotus station?

I have the day off on Friday so I think I'll pick this up tomorrow after work!

ste did you play the gta4 dlc? they improved the bikes on that.

cara delevingne hosts the pop station and her dialogue is seriously awful, such a weird choice of dj (she's never done anything like this before has she?). was gona post about it on that crepey ile thread dedicated to posting unflattering photos of her but nah

Franklin's time slowdown ability allowed me to pull off a very fun last minute win in my first race.

the golf is actually alright, I thought
― cozymandias (cozen), Wednesday, 18 September 2013 17:37 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah I started to get the hang of it in the last few holes. It's more nuanced than the golf in IV. I *love* that you can either walk to the ball, use the golf cart, or skip ahead. Cool idea.

YES!!! I was in the process of carjacking someone else when dude comes up and tries to steal the car I got out of. I of course shotgunned him to bits until the car blew up. Hope that will teach him a lesson.

what is it? what do i have to do? the word 'social' implies other people are involved. that makes me nervous.

You can't switch it out. It's just like the email in the last game.

Things I've liked on observing this so far:
- go for a swim in your clothes, theyre slick wet and dripping when you get out- the skytram car thing up in the mountain- it rains (and that affects your grip on the road driving)- the plane graveyard out in the desert
― taxi tomato or bag tomato (Trayce), Wednesday, 18 September 2013 23:15 (eleven years ago) link
That plane graveyard has some insane level of detail going on
re that wet clothes thing, have you noticed if you only go into the water halfway it will actually only wet you halfway
bah cant do the social thing coz my live account dont work no more
Played a lot tonight, can honestly say the driving is heaps better than IV.
Found my first hidden 'package', won't spoil anything for anyone else.
Just lots of fun, even doing the missions now. Lots of random mission (and they're interesting too). It's pretty hectic what with the extra character and people on the map and contacts to ring.
I played tennis, it was okay. It wasn't the travesty side game that a lot of rockstar stuff is. I don't like tennis though. I'll try the golf tomorrow.
Have died lots. You really can't do much illegal stuff without people getting upset.
