Yeah! It's more evasion than anything else. It has been finicky, being able to lose 3 stars in a minute by ditching a car and cowering behind a bush.

We've been playing a game that we've tastefully titled "Major Lawrence" where you go geisterfahrer round the main highway loop on a motorbike for as long as you can

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

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

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

Last night I found the in-game stock market. I have a very robust and diversified portfolio now.
― polyphonic, Friday, 20 September 2013 16:21 (eleven years ago) link
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.

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.
― Evil Juice Box Man (LocalGarda), Friday, 20 September 2013 18:00 (eleven years ago) link
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!
― goole, Friday, 20 September 2013 18:51 (eleven years ago) link
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?

I am beginning to feel this GTA boasts some deeper level of immersion than previous ones.
Also the pause/map music is incredible.
― Evil Juice Box Man (LocalGarda), Friday, 20 September 2013 19:25 (eleven years ago) link
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.

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.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 20 September 2013 19:39 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 20 September 2013 19:41 (eleven years ago) link
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.
