So now I'm done with this Rockstar decide it's finally time to fix the annoying drive by shooting control. Nice one.
Also, anyone else got the glitch where if they try to read emails on their phone it just makes the phone twist a bit and then you're stuck?

I'm sorry but this is brilliant. It should go on the imagery thread.

Heists. You can't do them unless you have all four roles filled. So you just wait and wait. You finally get a third person ... and the second person drops out. Then an hour later you get a full group and discover your heistmates are garbage.
Or you join a random heist and keep getting stuck in a boring setup mission, or the team leader doesn't want to pay you anything ...
The missions are pretty fun and challenging if you can actually get a good group together, but man.

Successfully completed my first heist last night. Satisfying. Also feels good to get some additional value out of this game. I finished the storyline a long time, and always planned to come back after awhile and get into online.
Continually trying to get used to the neighborhoods and distinct areas, but there is so much area to explore. And the night / day scheme just adds more variety.

Yeah, having him there was a nice touch. You could almost watch that whole garage scene as a cutscene intro to a GTA mission.

Oh man.... the Tennis minigame is so great. Had me in stitches too, the banter between shady old rich guy and his cheating wife. "Not bad for a fat old fool" real life LOLZ for me so much.

It's way easier for shooting parts of missions.
I really like the way this game looks. We still have a ways to go graphically but this is a good example of AAA open world design. It feels like every square block has been meticulously textured and tweaked to have its own unique flavor yet blend in with surrounding regions. Just the amount of detail in a 4-way stop is incredible. Once I was checking my phone irl and the Franklin was watching people walk down the street. Someone walked up to a stoplight and waited. About a minute later someone else came up from the other direction and stood next to them. They waited for the light to turn red, the cross-traffic stopped, and the two pedestrians crossed the street. The individual AI might be simple but the interactions between systems is masterful.

It'll be what appears above your head in multiplayer, but shouldn't affect the single player at all.

Is it too soon to start a gta 6 thread?
With this new gen of consoles, there must be one in the works.
― calstars, Saturday, 13 June 2015 21:16 (nine years ago) link
I have to think that they'll do something like add LIberty City online next before launching a whole new 6.

The other day, I ran up to a helicopter as it was landing and pulled the pilot out so I could steal it. I managed to get a couple of feet off the ground before he recovered and pulled me out of the helicopter. But because there was no one piloting the helicopter anymore, it fell on his leg and it trapped him and I kicked him to death.

I'm considering walking around the entire island. Wonder how many day/night cycles that would take.
― calstars, Monday, 27 July 2015 15:29 (eight years ago) link
Actually prob wouldn't be possible since when you load up the game you start back in your safe house. No way I could do the whole thing in one sitting.
― calstars, Monday, 27 July 2015 15:30 (eight years ago) link
Still feel like there's so much to see and discover though. The whole island is like a huge work of art that I want to take in leisurely.

No kidding. I dip in all the time and, although I have a pretty decent general sense of the geography at this point, I still keep stumbling upon things I never saw before.

if you quicksave on your phone you'll load back from where you were instead of a safe house if that helps you out

Last night, I found a sweet spot for a standoff just inside a train tunnel where none of the cops could seem to get at me, except for the occasional SWAT dudes who would rappel from their helicopters only to be greeted by an explosive device at the bottom of their ropes. I kept it up for a full day of in-game time before I got bored and took a header into the gully below.
