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

So, is this game worth £40? i've been toying with the idea of buying it but i normally wait and grab a second hand copy (except Halo, tend to buy them on release).
 
I have NO faith in the autosave function anymore.

I booted up the game last night, only to be introduced to doing a mission which introduces Trevor and Michael... I did that mission ages ago!!! Half the map I explored was unexplored. Upon further investigation, I had been reverted back to a save from 30% to 12%... I am NOT impressed.

Oh well, had to do a load of missions again and get on track with what I had done and re do it. So miffed off.

You know you don't have to rely on autosaves, you can quick save at any time through your phone as long as you're not on a mission.

As a graphics-whinger this is exactly the case with me. Just a shame, thats all. It's still a fantastic game. I just hate my PS3 - especially the way that I can hear it constantly readnig the disc as I play which is driving me insane. There must be a way of shutting that up!?

I guess all PS3s are not equal these days - I can hear the disc access if volume is low but it's nothing compared to the hurricane that is the cooling fan:)

The only way for quiet GTA 5 gaming is to get the PSN digital version which has streaming problems according to articles on the net. Or, get the 360 version and copy the second play disc (disc 2) onto a USB stick. This means the 360 doesn't use the DVD apart from a couple mins when launching the game. After that, the DVD stops spinning and its nice and quiet! :) This is what I did. (This is legal btw incase anyone is wondering) Its a feature the 360 has over the PS3, copying games to a storage device to prolong the life of your DVD drive.
 
Has anyone tried running a line of petrol and using the flames from your exhaust to light them rather than your gun? Much fun :D

Yeah saw this on a youtube vid, it's good fun. Anyone tried causing a traffic jam on the freeway with a coach parked across all the lanes. Lol, massive pile up with people trying to push through in their cars. One grenade into the centre of the pile up sorts them out! Chain reaction! :D
 
The biggest problem i have with GTA is car engines, I simply cannot here them when stationary, even with audio setting adusting and Im hammering it down the free way , there is just not enough exhaust ummph it sounds tinny and pathetic , anyone else noticed this? the game would be soooo much better if you KNOW when you "put your foot down"
 
What speakers do you have? On my floorstanders the cars with V8 engines rumble although not as loud as I would expect, they are very audible though. Just tapping the right trigger when stationary results in a rumble as well. A Nice sound!
 
I've noticed this as well. If there was a way to get vehicle noise levels adjust independently of other sounds then i'd be happy. The muscle cars look the part, but sound like they're miles away.

More like prolong the quality of your hearing.
 
Which button is it to use or equip it? I grabbed it ages ago and decided to jump off Mt. Chiliad... I then realised I hadn't the faintest how to use it. I hope Trevor enjoyed eating rock face, it wasn't pretty :(

I did exactly the same thing but first shouted to my gf 'Hey come check out what I can do!'

:/
 
Help - How do I restock my weed shop ? I got a text saying I've run out of weed but when I go back to the shop there is no way to activate the "Do the pick up myself" option. I got the text earlier but missed the way point or whatever.

Loving this game to bits by the way. :cool:

Then you've missed out and the store takes a bit less :(

If you get those texts, do it straight away if you can

When I launched off the mountain on the bike he automatically adopted the sky diving position. I didn't have to equip the parachute, it was just 'there'.

You do have to fall for a bit before the game triggers into skydiving stance, rather than just assuming you are falling of a wall or something.

You've missed it, a big P will appear on the map (Property Management) and it'll be a mission.

Nice one, Thanks. :cool:

Two things that annoy me.
As soon as I get a car & get lairy I knock out my headlights so can't see **** at night so have to keep stopping to get a fresh car.
Shooting out the car, Why is it aiming all over the place random then I have to center it & start my gunning, Right pain in the **** when I'm in a frenzy. :p
 
If I mod a car and don't park it in one of my safe house garages, is it gone forever?

I've not really explored modifying cars yet as I have a habit of breaking things :p
