GTA V - General Thread

[Samus]

On the installation data, it says its 8,000 when I click delete. That's all of my game data! I don't want to lose my game save!

Your save isn't in that 8GB install, it's a separate small file.

Anyone notice similarities from MCLA at the beach? Tunnels buildings. Gave me a flashback..

Agreed. It looks a lot like the MCLA rendition of LA, which doesn't even look like LA at all....

Ok then...

Actually, having spent some time in LA and lived in Phoenix, MCLA reminds me of Phoenix in many aspects. Obviously not the streets or anything, but just the overall look and feel.

After a pretty good round of Golf, Franklin went on a rampage and smashed the living crap out of his Buffalo and Adder.

Ryder couldn't have dropped the ball. CJ killed him in SA..

 

[Akmuq]

I've the same problem as CallmeDan, very frustrating to be honest...

Speaking of flashbacks, anyone think that the guy selling the bad drugs to Franklin, Lamar and Trevor is supposed to remind you of CJ?

And there is a random event where you pick up someone very similar to Packie from GTA IV who's just robbed a store or something.

Pretty cool with the subtle reminders...

Oh man I was on a atv with Trevor and needed to jump the tracks but a train was coming. I gunned it and never looked how close the train was to me but the closer I got the more I could hear it. I was in mid air and the train bumped the back of my atv. I didn't fall off or spin out even it just nudged me off center. Talk about close.

Spoiler

Erm.. What if I told you that was Packie?

 

[Dan]

Spoiler tags, anyone?

 

[Sage Ages]

I don't know if you guys remember the easter egg/screw-up that R* made in the mission of SA where CJ had to rescue Sweet from that motel and the cut scene of the police helicopter saying "This is the Los Angeles Police Department!" or something like that, but I was listening to the radio in GTAV (can't remember which station specifically) and they were talking about being in Los Angeles. Thought it was kind of funny, although I'm not sure if it's supposed to be an easter egg or if it's just something they put in on accident.

They said Los Santos. You probably misheard it.

 

[Aesthetics]

Spoiler tags, anyone?

Nope, sorry I'm still using the app, and thus can't make spoiler tags.

Bracket "[", put SPOILER in it, close the bracket "]", type whatever text you have, bracket "[" /SPOILER, close the bracket "]".

 

[Samus]

If you can't or won't use the tags then don't post spoilers. Not everyone has finished the game.

The missions in this GTA are definitely the best ones yet, so much variety and just so fun. A bit like the Ballad of Gay Tony missions, some may be a bit over the top and unrealistic but you won't care as they are just so amazing. Just a shame there aren't more of them though.

When you think about it, the main story is 69 missions, then 60 odd side ones. That's 130 odd. IV was only 90, San Andreas was 100ish. There is actually quite a decent amount but it's always nice to have more.

Of course, I must also take into account that I sped through the main story game the first time, but now I'm on my second play-through and it's taking me much longer as I'm playing it at the same rate I would play any other game 👍

 

[Dan]

Ok. So, I finally deleted the GTA V 8GB install data, now re-installing all 8GBs again. I really hope what Samus said is true, about my save file being in a separate file. I would have a mini-rage if I lost everything.

Also, I couldn't find the patch data. Confused.

 

[Subarglue]

I had to go and curb stomp ron after what he said to Micheal, after choosing option 1

 

[VYPA-SQUAD_Ace]

Hey, how are you guys enjoying online?

I really enjoy playing survival, but that might be because I liked nazi zombies. I find them similar in some ways

 

[wicken]

Grab some popcorn and watch this big panel with the main characters of GTA V. The best moment was at 40:24 hahahah
Edit: language warning

 

[Samus]

Would be awesome if they played online. Just imagine hearing them start speaking in a lobby.

Especially the guy that does Trevor's voice!

 

[VYPA-SQUAD_Ace]

I must say, I love my new 400k apartment online.. now to hook my garage up..

 

[shmogt]

Hey, how are you guys enjoying online?

I'm kinda hating it really. It's such a good idea since it's basically like a second game and so many people are playing right now but whenever I go on no one is there. Every time I do a mission it's just me in the room and max 3 other people join. It's super annoying as I just wanna play the damn game but most of my time is spent waiting for others to join. Even when I join rooms there is barely anyone there. The games been out for a little while now and only one time I was in a full room that was lots of fun.

Use the 'quick jobs' option either in the pause menu or via your phone, you usually get in a full room then.

Hey, how are you guys enjoying online?

Well, today I was minding my own business and went to a custom shop to do some work on my Futo while another player was there at the same time. When I rolled out he was just standing outside, when I looked over at him he pulled out a sniper rifle and killed me in one shot. So, I went looking for him to get revenge and when I finally tracked him down I wasn't even able to get a shot in when he killed me AGAIN. Immediately after I spawned he left the session, like a chicken 🤬. We argued back and forth over PSN messages until I blocked him.

No more random lobbies for me. EVER.

Friends or solo session.

 

[Aesthetics]

I hate how I can't even enjoy races on my own: the world records are set at ridiculously fast times. (8 seconds for an at least 2-3 mile course is a little too fast).
