So for those of us who have zero interest in the MP side of things, SP on this is worth the £20?

Easily, I got around 100h out of SP and it was better than I expected. Lots of fun and superb atmosphere and they've really managed to catch it all visually (the evenings, sunsets, weather - it all looks fantastic).
 
The game is very demanding on graphics you cant go on there and just max everything. Ultra grass and 8x msaa are both very demanding.

Even with a gtx 1080 at 1080p I still have to make comprises if I want to use 8xmsaa and stay above 60fps.
The main one I turn down is the grass because ultra even though it looks amazing tanks framerate too much.

Well good to know, Steam reviews aren't the best but figured it was the MP hate reviews.

A lot of the bad reviews are to do with them stopping modding and people getting banned for modding.

Also bad reviews from people that can't be bothered to earn the the stuff online that get anoyyed people can buy the stuff with real cash.

I think the game is great looks amazing on high end system but also runs well on lower end stuff. Best £20 I spent on pc game.

I haven't really tried single player I just play online enjoy working my way up the ranks and earning new stuff. Just bought my self a really nice house and moved all my vehicles over to it.

im on a i7 920 @ 3.2ghz with a 7950, obviously i cant turn everything up but with the settings i need to hold 60fps is still looks fantastic

on single player i love to go down to Venice Beach at ~8am and load up muscle beach with sticky bombs, then go back there early afternoon when its packed with over grown people with very small genitals and blow them all up :D

ive not played much of the online MP so i only have ~$720k, but il be logging in every day to get the bonus $$ that i posted above
 
Is it too late to get into this now? I did play it lall back when in launched on consols but its online then was cack, seems to of improved now based on gameplay I've seen,
 
Theres a massive grind to it.

You need to put hours and hours into it doing business runs making money to be able to buy cars and the newer businesses, unless you pay ridiculous amounts for shark cards.

I normally despise cheaters in games but I was fortunate enough to have a friend who had mods so was able to spawn money. I wouldn't have anywhere near the amount of cars I have if it wasn't for him. I probably wouldn't have put anywhere near the hours I did into the game if it wasn't for him.

Not too late as I doubt they will be bringing out a new GTA any time soon.

The PC version is full of cheaters though. I hardly ever play and even the few times I do log in I encounter a cheater without fail. Signed in last night and was just on my phone in my garage and all of a sudden some guy that was on fire spawns into my garage and kills me...

As said there is a massive grind and you will have to get some RP in order to get weapons and armor.

The game is worth it. I rarely see cheaters as I stick to solo public sessions or solo with friends doing CEO, VIP work and heists. However we are all very high ranks and the chance of low ranks joining our sessions once set is much lower.

Making money is easy solo atm as contact missions are x2 cash and RP. Unfortunately that finishes Tuesday as does the 250K login bonus.

Best way to make lots of money is to join a good crew and do heists. Pac will payout 400K if you get a 25% host and once you get the hang of Doomsday heist act 2 you can make 600K in an hour and a half between two of you.

Saying all that. It is a grind and will be frustrating in public if you are a low rank and there are cheaters and Deluxo/Oppressor/Akula griefers around.
 
Purchased GTA5 on steam in sale for £13 however it keeps crashing on startup. I had a cracked pirate version which worked better than the original!
I purchased it for multipllayer but tbh im going to have to request a refund from steam
 
Just started playing this again for the first time in years and checked out 1st person mode which is amazing!

Looking to mod it now for this play through.

Is REDUX or NaturalVision remastered best?

Cheers.
 
Not played this for a while, noticed id had to sign in again, as they'd changed the T&Cs, had to accept all that guff, and what the hell are those new captcha things about, for No Im Not A Robot, select all the squares with a car in, until theres none left, what a **** on.
