GTA V

So is it worth picking up a Xbox one controller over a 360 one?, Will need it for driving etc.

VincentHanna · 2 Apr 2015 at 10:32

Do you want them to trot the same storyline out again and again?

GTA V is good, trust me.

Shame if true because it worked well story wise for 3 vice and sa.

You do have 3 very difference interlocking characters though rather than just one

I would say no. I used keyboard and mouse for everything in GTA IV, but then again some people preferred a controller for driving.

Controller is much better for GTA IMO.

Analogue driving is where it's at, not stabbing digital keys

Wonder if a PS4 controller would work, I believe on the PS4 version of the game the lightbar on the back of the dualshock light up blue when you were being chased by the police and the speakers on the dualshock would sound out what the police were saying about your movements.

Could be pretty cool if that came our way also. Not sure how or even if it could be implemented into PC's though sadly.

500k are not that much and won't change the experience.
I think it's a smart bonus for the online so that there is less gap between new players and old ones coming from other platforms!

When is this happening? Steam was still charging €60 for it last night. I will probably pre-order, but I can do better than €60. If Steam was reducing the price I might go with Steam.

i cant remember where i read it, but someone was complaining that they had pre ordered at 60 and now its 55 and they wanted the 5 refunded

but if they are still charging 60 then obviously somones got it wrong (either them or me)

EDIT: i've found the post in the comments on Steam, dont know how to link to it to here though
snip of it here...

Yeah I like the controller more for driving last week I reinstalled GTA IV to try KB/M hated keyboard driving badly, It's horrible.

I'm rather worried about the 3 character thing in the new game tbh. Mainly that it will confuse me when playing and also the missions that force you to play as 2 or all three during a mission which I'm thinking I won't like. Personally I wouldn't have minded as long as it wasn't forced to use them all at once in a mission especially a complex mission like a planned heist but I fear the game does force u to do big missions with all at the same time.

Not played it before so who knows if I will have trouble with that aspect, if its easy then cool but if not and I can't progress due to a multi character mission then I will be ****ed. That's why I wished gtav was just 1 character game.

The 3 character thing is amazing, until you have played it you think it won't work. I was the same.

Very easy to switch between the 3. A great idea and on 360 was well done.

I liked the random events you got into... Trevor, my god, what a freak. I only played up to about 10 hours of game time, each time, restarted 3 times. So never got far in the story, wanted to wait for PC. Had I known it would have taken almost 2 years, I would have played on lol.

Im going to try it with a keyboard and mouse at first and see how i go, if i don't like it i already have a wireless 360 controller setup.

I'll be using a 360 wireless simply so I can sit on the sofa in my wife beater, pyjama shorts, beers. Oh, and my sliced ham to dunk in mustard from time to time... All whilst playing from a 50" plasma with lovely Q Acoustic 5.1 surround sound in my living room.

I'm not even joking.

Just received a refund from CJS despite them saying they wouldn't. Seems they know they are in the wrong!

Probably the best, I'm sticking with my 60" Sharp until UHD and OLED hit the market at a decent price, I want those nice deep blacks!!!
