Who is looking forward to GTA V

These are my personal thought's after spending time with it single player:

Looks lovely yet city feels somehow lifeless with only a few buildings you can step in and little way to interact with the environment. Plenty of people littering the street who are all otherwise unremarkable and just filler.
Enjoying the missions and story, a lot more than I did in IV.
Driving feels better than IV but still find it frustrating.
First person view is pretty cool but I find myself going back to third person for the majority.
The GTA brand humour is starting to wear a little thin with the names of shops and product, same as the radio station chat.

Overall I am quite enjoying it but I fear it will be the same as other GTA's in which I get close to the end and never finish it. I think a lot of circle jerking about the graphics detracts from the sense of emptiness the world actually has for me. Do not regret purchasing and feel it still has the potential to be more enjoyable.
 
I also have some points to add, the casino and race track are they never going to be playable? and yes too many buildings are still just for show, I love the game and in my opinion it was worth double dipping but I will hold off on the PC version till it has a decent amount of mods.

I think those expectations are a little unrealistic to be honest. Theres tonnes of buildings you can get into, airport hangars, army bases, unfinished skyscrapers (going up the crane is ace!), all the businesses you can buy and go into, each characyers houses, the shops. I know i'm missing a bunch off that list but realistically, it's a city..... when do you ever go in every building in a real life city? Haha.

The amount of content is unreal, and to say theres little way to explore the environment is nuts. Have you even been in the ocean in a submarine yet? Theres shipwrecks and all sorts down there to explore.
 
I never said I expected it, I'm saying it feels lifeless for the same reason IV did to me. You may be impressed by what you perceive to be a lot of content but I never said it lacked it so not sure why you mentioned that.
Again I never said there was little way to explore the environment, it's almost like you haven't read my post at all and replied to something that isn't there.
 
Im quite the opposite really, for me the game feels very alive. I tend to find myself doing stupid things like just walking along the street, stopping at lights for cross signals, driving following traffic rules, taking snapmatic pics like some random tourist etc :)

If i didnt find the world immersive i doubt i would be doing that sort of thing, altho i do remember doing similar in GTA4 when i first got to times square.

Anyway last night i had a highlight of my gaming life

I was a first person dog, shagging another dog, proper laugh out loud moment :)

Errmmm exploring is a form of interaction, and i said once you start exploring you'll realise theres actually loads of stuff to interact with, especially in the single player. You say its lifeless so you clearly expect more of something to make it feel 'full of life', hence expectations being mentioned. The content is another form of interaction, all the characters and missions take you to places that are locked off in freeroam which is why i mentioned it. You've just said it feels lifeless because you cant go in as many buildings as you were ecpecting, but theres tonnes of unique buildings to explore. Not quite sure why you'd want to go in the majority of buildings anyway, boring stairs and elevators... not really that appealing.

Seems like you're moaning over things you've not really looked at properly to be honest.
 
Agree that was funny. I enjoyed the tennis mini game, are you able to progress this in more depth?

On the contrary Krisboats, seems you're getting defensive over a video game like kids do when debating games in the play ground. I've played every GTA, hardly not 'looked at properly'. Sorry but you're going on the ignore list, filtering out people to make this forum more enjoyable as I prefer talking with adults.

Haha, theres a difference between defensive and just pointing out when someones being a muppet! Its quite obvious you havent spent much time playing this game or actually looking at different things, as to say its lifeless because there isnt much to interact with is just ridiculous for a game of this scope and scale.

Your rather bizarre blocking kinda shows how quick you are to make a hasty, ignorant decision on something, which is what i've said you've done on this game.

Besides, if a difference of opinion and not liking someone politely saying you're talking rubbish is enough for you to block them, then i don't think you're actually capable of an adult conversation, haha.

Anyone seen the customised gang peyote's spawn online on current gen?

I've sold on all except my last one from last gen now. I'm trying to get some more to spawn from it, but they aren't spawning in the normal locations from the 360.

If not has anyone found any cars on the street that sell for more than the $12900 the peyotes do every 48 minutes?

These are the cars i'm looking for:-

EDIT: It also looks like none of the normal Peyote's or Tornado's spawn overnight at the car meet, just people standing around like during the day now.
