********* The Official GTA V (5) thread! *********

My slim sounds like a jet after a few hours, well the disc spinning. Get a fair bit of pop in after playing for a few hours too!
 
Someone said you can change the aiming sight, where was that? I couldn't see it in the options yesterday, and driving and shooting at high speeds can be tricky trying to see the dot

settings.. game i think it changes it from simple to complex
 
Installing now, looks like it may take awhile. But it won't connect to my PCBank properly so having to use the TV for now. :(
 
No body else notice the ghosting in this game when spinning the camera? Hurts my eyes...

if your using a cheap lcd, that's your problem, but even then i notice ghosting all the time on a mate's 60 inch LCD which cost a few bob, especially when liverpool are playing as their red top contrasts with the grass a lot and the ghosting is awful on it.

this is why i always buy plasma

It might be under Display > Weapon Target and you change it to Complex.
 
I'm enjoying the game, its definitely the best GTA yet.

I just wish that torture scene was handled differently. I think it went too far and just felt really uncomfortable and whatever Rockstar was trying to do just didn't come across for me. I'm normally the type of guy who doesn't really care about this stuff, I'm not a fan of censorship, but the way it was depicted and how it had you controlling it was simply nasty. There was no satire, it was just misplaced and it would affect how I replay the game.

Lol, I enjoyed it.
 
I'm currently building up the stats for each of them.

What's the quickest way to build up strength? Golf, Tennis or just hitting people :D

I assume to build up stealth i do hunting? and keep diving for lung capacity?
 
i tried shooting chop but it won't let me, i also switched from trevor to franklin after a mission where he drops him off at his aunt's home and when i was franklin i was inside his aunt's home and there was no way he could get out, tried both doors with no luck, this is obviously a bug in the game, it shouldn't of let me switch to him, had to switch to someone else, play the game for a while then switch to franklin who was at his other home.

i also tried beating franklin's aunt up whilst being franklin and it wouldn't let me.

in fact i have tried doing this a few times with certain characters and other people in the game and it won't let you.

the number of missions i have been doing and side stories and the amount of money you get is awful, i had to drive some drunk retard halfway across the map to the cult place for a lousy thousand bucks, one of the random events.

only decent way to make money is from lester's assassination missions and doing the trades he suggests with all 3 characters before starting the mission, so you need to find a guide online and find out which stock it is before hand and then buy it then switch to franklin and go meet lester.

the way the game is set up is so it's nigh on impossible to make decent money, as i tried switching before an assassination to invest but it wouldn't let me so you need to do it before you find out which company you should be investing in, so you need a guide otherwise you make nothing with the other 2 character's then.

got michael up to $1.5 mill, franklin has around $300K but trevor only has like $60K.

i stupidly bought some properties which don't make you any money (garages), and the properties that do make some money make pennies and you constantly need to do side missions to protect them or you lose the cash inflow.

like i said the game is set up so you cannot make hug money quickly.

it's constant grinding in order to prolong the game imo.
 
Are you saying its due to LCD/LED or that it's a cheap tvUtter rubbish. My LCD/LED suffers no ghosting whatsoever on Football or games.

plasma handles motion a lot better than LCD's do, im talking about TV's here not "monitors".

therefore it is to do with LCD as a technology i believe.

it could simply be that you have never looked for it, because the mate who has the 60 inch LCD which ghosts say's it's better than my D8000 when it isn't.

i told him the reason why he thinks his looks better is because he has it on "dynamic" which is uber contrast, colour and brightness, whereas mine is on a natural setting, so it doesn't look "fake" like his set does. he also cannot see any ghosting on his set, when it is so blatant, i mean it's hard not to see it imo.

ghosting has never been an issue with any plasma i have ever owned (top end ones), yet i have seen a few top end LCD's which ghost like mad.
 
Is any one else slightly annoyed with the polices cone of vision? I hate that I can evade them and hide somewhere, but as soon as I'm in that cone of vision even when completely out of their line of sight they magically know where I am! Slightly annoying to say the least especially when on a mission!

Can't say I've noticed that, I went off-road with a loads of cops following me over really hilly terrain, I was in one of the "cones" but below their eye-line and they didn't spot me?

Same here, I rely on the line of sight to evade them.

E.g. under bridges, down alleys etc

^ Same. I've been in the cone of their sight, but hidden behind a building and they didn't see me.
 
i was on a mission and i had a chopper chasing me as well as cars, and boat's, etc.

i got into a warehouse and stayed hidden in a corner, no cops followed me in there and yet they could still see me as the wanted rating wouldn't go down, i had 4 stars and like 100 officers outside the warehouse, so i stayed in there for like 10 minutes and nothing.

1 of the eventually came inside and saw me hiding in the corner, i decided it wasn't going to work after killing him, and went outside and was met by a wall of flying led.

technically i should have lost them as they couldn't see me for like 10 minutes.
 
Off topic (Psycho Sonny)

Agreed. So am I.

Ah, but I have. Lots. and it's extremely minute in some cases.

I think that's the thing though, you'll always get cheaper sets and even expensive sets from some manufacturers at the same price that are worlds apart.
To me it looked as if you were saying that all LCD's suffer bad ghosting (so buy plasma) when they don't. ;)

Anyone else having truoble linking their GTA to Social Club? I can't figure out how to do it without pausing and going to Facebook integration. That's where it asks me to sign into Social Club, but it never connects.
