Still finding myself completely immersed in the detail of this open world.
This virtual society is one of the greatest technical achievements I've seen

Wish I could like this game. Bought it for PS3 and have it free on PC thanks to Epic.

The driving physics just killed it stone dead, for me. Played and enjoyed every previous GTA. I loved the driving/handling in GTA 4. Loved it.

Me too. The physics in IV were so realistic

I got it free thanks to Epic. However still can't play it and both roclstar and epic have been useless in fixing the issue.

Seeing loads of new graffiti in the city lately, is this new or am I tripping?

Also, Halloween has arrived, got mowed down by some Phantom car whilst on foot and was a genuine jump scare lol

Wish I could get playing this on PC. Got it free on Epic years ago, but never had a PC then. However I've spent over 3 months engaging with Epic and Rockstar and still no further forward. Apparently my Epic account is linked to a Rockstar social account that I've never heard of nor have an email matching it. Trying to get them to unlink said social account is proving hard work. Think I'll have to cave and make a new social account with a new email account. 2hy I have to log jn to the flipping thing just to play single player is ridiculous.

Finally after 4 months I managed to get Rockstar to sort my account issues and I'm able to play The game now.

Anyone running any of the graphical and RTX mods? Whats best and easy to install?

I've recently started playing through single player again and using Natural Vision Remastered.
There is also Natural Vision Evolved, which I believe is newer and slightly better looking, both are available here: https://www.razedmods.com/gta-v

I know you only mentioned single player, but please be aware that with any mods installed you cannot play GTA:Online as it'll probably get you banned.
The reason that I went with Remastered was that Evolved is currently single player only, with other features behind a patreon paywall and I may decide to play unofficial multiplayer (using the FiveM client) again in the future - NMR includes the config/plugin for this.

Installation wasn't all that difficult, just follow the instructions in the included HTML file. You'll also need to install some pre-requisites including OpenIV.
Once you have it installed there are customisations you can make to tweak it to your liking, but I so far haven't bothered with that and it looks great. It mainly improves things like reflections and the lighting/weather effects, although there is a slight bug in that it makes some characters in mission cutscenes too bright which looks a bit odd!

Thanks. Yeah I don't touch multiplayer at all. Just single player. Running a ryzen 7 7700 with 32GB RAM and a 7900XT.

I'll try it later and see how I get on.

It was the best for me. I recall firing up GTAV on my PS3 at release and being horrified by the arcadey driving controls. Everything just felt slippery and non-weighted. I never did get used to it.

I hated not being able to lose control of the cars and bikes. I remember the first bike I tried in 5 and it could turn 90 degrees at top speed. Absolute nonsense.

I also hated the retrograde steps they made with the physics engine. A bus could no longer push a car. I mean, soooo much fun was had in the older GTAs using big vehicles as a battering ram. In 5, you just came to a dead stop if you hit a car with a bus. Seriously?!

I must have played all of 1 or 2 hours and decided - purely due to the driving - that it was garbage. No matter how good everything else may have been, GTA is a driving game. I had no interest in a driving game where the driving was that bad.

You'd really hope they release the pc version at the same time on this occasion, especially considering the new consoles are more like a PC than ever before.

I've seen some YTbers announce this also, but i didn't think it was true
be good to have an official announcement for the game

cainer · 8 Nov 2023 at 14:44

I'm guessing they'll release it on console first like with GTA 5 to cash in on the double dippers,

They may even bundle it in with the PS5 Pro which is rumoured to be released the end of next year as an exclusive for a few months as they did that with the expanded and enhanced version of GTA 5

steve5424 · 8 Nov 2023 at 14:47

There won't be a pro this gen. Its not needed they've been working on it so long I hope it's release is less than a year away.

StrongSad · 12 Dec 2023 at 13:39

Well the "Chop Shop" DLC was added today.

My first impression is meh.

The business only updates once a week, so once you have done the 3 cars on offer, you have to wait 7 days.......... and the business cost me 5.7 million.

You can now buy a cop car........

However as there are none of the PS5/Xbone X/S features, it is very lite on new content. and what is available is stupidly expensive.

breathe3asy · 12 Dec 2023 at 16:57

The game runs so well without all the mod menus and cheats running script in the background

Only a matter of time until Scripthook gets updated so enjoy it whilst you can

Jon20 · 10 Jan 2024 at 13:38

Anyone from the “OcUK crew” still play online? Still part of the crew but generally play with some other friends. Always looking for other players though
