Man, the more and more I interact with him, the more I hate Michael's son. Just wish you could off the whiny fat ass.
Lol oh man, I did a switch to Trevor, and he's walking out of a funeral parlor yelling back, "I was only holding him, it was very respectful!"
And to stay to the GTA roots, I picked up a hooker with Trevor, and when I was done, ran over to the hospital near by and beat up two EMTs.

Okay the cops can be a bit annoying at times. Seems like the only way to ditch them is ditch the car you stole, run off on foot, steal another car and hide, or just die or get caught. Non are preferred since I stole the car because I wanted it.

Just finished the main story (like to get the main campaign out of the way before exploring). What a ride. They really outdid themselves with this game and I wish all game developers would aim to reach the quality of gameplay this game has. This game Is miles above Gta IV,. The only thing IV has on this game is the more realistic driving mechanics and physics which I can forgive. Everything was great. Time to explore and look for aliens and Bigfoot. EDIT: The ending credits for this game is  ing long. Its been nearly 25 mins. |

Non are preferred since I stole the car because I wanted it. Yeah, majority of my deaths have been at the hands of cops, they are brutal. I wouldn't mind the shoot to kill mentality if I were doing serious crimes, but it comes from the silliest of things. I miss the fat cops from GTA IV. "I'M LATE TO THE DONUT CONVENTION" |

It's like they cloned the main characters from End of Watch to be cops in this game. They're superstars, lol.
But I'm loving this game. There are no words for how deep and expansive it is.

Lol man, the muscle guys on the beach have weak jaws. I switched to Franklin and he's doing pull ups on the beach. There was a muscle man posing, so I ran up, and gave him a running punch, and he was out.

Not to discredit any other of the great GTA titles, but for the first time I feel like more than an errand boy. This game and story feels like and IS more than just "meet random drifter in your travels and do stuff for them to aid your quest of final revenge". The characters are driven by the story and actually have purpose in the things that they do in said story. Every interaction you have just feels so engaging and necessary to develop the story. I'm absolutely loving this.

Got to the point last night where I can switch between all 3 characters. Gonna do some serious exploring of the map this weekend.
While playing as Franklin, I drove to the Rockford Hills golf course and hopped out of the car. Almost immediately one of the club members called the police. I jumped into the car and shredded the course, then led the cops on a long chase and escaped by driving off an overpass and finding an alley to hide in. Fun stuff.

Just thought I'd pop in here to give my personal review of GTA V. Here goes.
There are many features that I love, most of which are new, but there are also some things that I feel were better in GTA IV.
Lets start off with something positive. I really like the ability to purchase add-ons for weapons. A really cool idea. Another cool idea is heists. I'm about to go on my first one, but it sounds like something fun.
I like that they brought back the ability to customise your car. I also like the inclusion of being able to purchase cars online.
I am extremely glad that they greatly decreased the cost of hospital bills from around $1000 to around $200. In GTA IV I'd waste nearly all of my money on hospital bills.
However, it's not all perfect. Although the driving is a lot more realistic in this game, I personally feel that as a result, driving is a lot less fun. In GTA IV, I loved driving at top speed and smashing into other vehicles to see how much damage I could cause. However when you crash in GTA V, your vehicle just stops. If you crash head on at high speed, you die instantly.
Targeting is something else that I feel was better in GTA IV. In GTA IV, there was a clear circle so you could see who you was locked onto. In GTA V, there is nothing. No change between not being locked on and being locked on. The only way I've found to find out is just to shoot.
The police are a mixed bag in GTA V. I'm glad that it is easier to evade the cops in GTA V, just hide in an alleyway for a while. However I don't like how aggressive they are in this game. Even if all you're doing is hijacking a vehicle, they will try to shoot you dead instead of arresting you.
My verdict: GTA V is an amazing game that greatly improves on it's predecessors, although a couple of elements aren't improved, but more so the opposite. However with that said, it is still a brilliant game that is well worth the £35 that I spent on it.

Is anyone else having bother with getting the mission involving the submarine started? Trevor called Michael and told him to go to flight school and told Franklin to go down to the shooting range - which I've done, yet nothing seems to be triggering the submarine mission. Am I supposed to get their flight/shooting skills up to a certain level or something?

Played the first heist and it was amazing! Unlocked Trevor, hes crazy as . Love how different everything is up north. I was shocked to see the Lost appear in the game, and even more shocked when Trevor stomped the life out of Johnny.
Sad ending.Targeting is something else that I feel was better in GTA IV. In GTA IV, there was a clear circle so you could see who you was locked onto. In GTA V, there is nothing. No change between not being locked on and being locked on. The only way I've found to find out is just to shoot. I had the same problem, in the first mission I went into the settings and changed the targeting from simple to complex, It makes aiming a little bit more easier. |

If so, you have to go to the H marker on your map, that will start it. |

I love this game. Makes me glad I pre-ordered it. I planned to get it anyway, but I'm glad I reserved it.

This game is absolutely flawless. I can't think of a single the wrong with it. The driving is so much smoother, the aiming is spot on, the graphics are amazing and the missions are incredibly fun, just to name a few. This is definitely the best game of all time.

The submarine sucks and the tripping scenes are a bit silly. Also Michael's long hair is all messed up when hes wearing a collared shirt. THAT is literally all I can think of wrong with the game. I woke up and played STRAIGHT from 12-6pm today. I'm not even ashamed, lol. I think this is probably the best game of all time. GTA's for me were always the 'popcorn movies' of the gaming world. Totally fun, completely ridiculous, but lacking in any real depth or artistic merit. V does everything you want a GTA to do, but it also has arguably the best writing and characters in a video game ever. I still can't get over this game, and we've still got online to look forward to! |
