GTA V

[MisterNoisy]

First-person view added to XB1/PS4/PC versions - video at the link.  4K will be supported on PC.

Neat - impressive amounts of detail in the car interiors and cockpits.

[Yegolev]

Any idea if they have added jetpacks?

[Jeff Kelly]

No. Just a $60 price tag.

[Mrbloodworth]

My Friends an I are looking forward to playing this together on PC. Anyone have insights on whats to do in the online portion, co-op? Let me rephrase. I see the games bullet list, but what is FUN to do with friends in this, the best parts?

[Sky]

If they can integrate this with steam friends support...I think good times will be had. Even just Sleeping Dogs style integration would be cool, but Borderlands 2 style drop-in would really rock.

Some of the GTAO missions are pretty decent and there's the obligatory deathmatch, racing and survival (horde mode) matches, but the bulk of the online play is a 16 (now 30) player freeroam, where you just sort of fuck around with all of Los Santos available to you.  Mostly, I've used it as 'Skype with guns and shit', playing with friends in closed/friend-only rooms or partied with friends in pubs while doing dumb shit or terrorizing the rest of the server.

Sadly, you can't co-op through the single-player story (yet) and heists still aren't in for GTAO yet.

[Sky]

Just for the sake of the three people not on steam, this has opened for pre-order on steam with a release date of March 24.

Free copy of San Andreas for pre-ordering, for the other one person who doesn't own that yet.

I'm champing at the bit, so anyone who wants the copy of San Andreas, pm me.

[WayAbvPar]

I will have to check my Steam library to see if I actually did buy one of the GTA Omnibus editions that included San Andreas.


Saw my buddy playing this on his XBone and was stunned by the graphics. Can't wait to play this on a proper platform!

[MisterNoisy]

Rumor has it that the PC release date was pushed to accommodate the inclusion of the long-promised heists.  Only took them two years since launch.  :P

[Sky]

Don't give a shit, want GTA V.


Actually, if they integrate Steam friends, shits will be given.

[Sky]

Pushed back to April 14th.

[Tannhauser]

I've never been a fan of this series, despite playing I and IV (very briefly) but I am anticipating this one, mainly for the first person perspective.  If this is half as good as RDR I'll be very happy.

I don't care if they delay it until Christmas as long as they get it right.

[Sky]

Agreed.

[Cyrrex]

I just want them to hurry up enough so that I don't cave to the temptation and buy the PS4 version at the inflated price (and reduced performance?).

[Sky]

Overruled.

[Miasma]

Been out for a while on the PS4, might be in a discount bin by now.  I'm sure once the tweakers have a chance to rip open the config files it will look way better on the PC though, and crash a lot.

[Cyrrex]

Well, yeah, but the PS4 discount bin still puts the price higher than the PC version.  And it is still an inferior product.  If it wasn't for the inclusion of the first person view, I would probably have just got the PS4 version anyway....but kb/m, PC master race, etc., etc.

[Nija]

It plays really, really good on the PS4.

[Sky]

Rumors of story DLC in the pipeline.

[Miasma]

That would be nice.  This is one of the very few games where I would like dlc but so far nothing but little crap for their terrible online stuff.  I loved how the GTA IV dlc had tie-ins to the first big heist in the original game.  The biker thing was good but ballad of gay tony was great.

[Sky]

I never actually finished IV. I played probably a good hundred hours after release and then took a break. When I went back and de-disc'd with Steam I started from scratch and got a ways in (maybe my third apartment? Steam says 41 hours) and lost the luxury apartment right by the car dealership that was my favorite (free sports cars all day long) to a bug (I guess). Kinda broke my will to play and I set it aside.

Now I don't want to burn out on GTA before the new one comes out 

[WayAbvPar]

Green Man Gaming sent me a 23% off code for GTA V, so keep an eye on your in box if you are so inclined.

[MisterNoisy]

Knocked out the heists with crewmates.  Great stuff - I just wish there were more than five of them.

[Rasix]

Looks like a VTM: Bloodlines selfie.

[Yegolev]

Taken just before someone runs them down.

Taken just before someone runs them down.

Ah, memories of APB. I didn't make it past the tutorial because the moronity got so old, so fast. This guy pegged my car against the wall and just say there gunning his engine. I found it pretty humorous that he was wasting his time like that, but it certainly didn't enamor the game to me at all.

[climbjtree]

I'd like to do some heists this weekend on XBone, if any of you have it on that platform. My gamertag is 'rldmoto,' and I'm pretty much free all weekend.

I'm also not very good.

[Maven]

I saw a friend playing this on a sixty inch flat screen, PS4, with the online component.

My god this game is gorgeous. I almost left his house and dropped the couple grand it would take to buy that setup. They took that Red Dead Redemption lobby concept to its Apex.

[Sky]

Glad to hear it will be that it's awesome in that setup. Can't wait to see it on my 73" running on a 970 :)

I'm game.  My connection since moving is occasionally less so, but that's being sorted once my apartment management and the cable people get their ducks in a row.  I strongly recommend using a mic - some of the heists are nigh-impossible without comms.

Fucking MNDR. They do get their music right.

[Maven]

That is pretty sick.
