AjL227 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I've only completed the first mission, but I'm not that impressed. The driving with Franklin seemed way too easy. Braking was unrealistic, as the car stops instantaneously. GTA IV was more challenging on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSC MrNice Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Maybe it's not the right topic but well I'm gonna give it a shot. How the hell am I supposed to take pictures with my phone in the game? I need to take a picture for a side mission but I really can't figure out how I'm supposed to pull up the camera. There are no tool tips to help me out and neither the regular nor the ingame manual offer any advice. Soo... I guess it's gonna be pretty obvious once somebody points it out but now I'm just mad over my own inability to take pictures Welp I figured it out. Had to use that one Snap app on the phone but couldn't get past the Social Club sign-in for a while so I figured I was doing it wrong. Once I was able to sign in it was smooth sailing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth VeX Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Is reading not one of your strong suits? Notice the part about the CRT TV right after that. Dumb fuck. People who don't own a HDTV should not instantly be labelled as poor people. Some people just don't have one, or enough for everybody. You were being a prick regarding the Xbox One months ago, and now you're here being a prick again. So arrogant. Actually, I was being sarcastic because someone else was being a prick. Go back and look. But thanks for repeatedly insulting other peoples opinions that are different than your own. You must be a KKK member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barad Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Not a rant..but more of a concern.. Was playing as Franklin off mission and I switched to Michael, who just happened to be dropping off Jimmy to buy a new TV. He got out..and the gas on my car accidentally went off and I ran him over. I got out to see if he was dead or not, so I shot him about 12 times. Have I lost my son forever? Trust me I'm not proud.. http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h376/himalaybarad/2013-09-17233257_zps31749fae.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeEk MuNcHeR Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 2 things - evading the cops is very hard! And I haven't seen it mentioned but I hate it how they have tried to make the minimap into a sat nav whilst driving, because its not birds eye view I can't tell whether I need to use a slip road when coming off the motorway. Couldn't find any settings to change it to birds eye view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFizzle720 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'd rather have neither and access to a digital interactive map ... Might actually buy the game guide, and I rarely buy game guides. There's the GTA V Manual App that R* released last night. That has a digital map. Pretty useless on an iPhone, but it would be good on an iPad I think. With all the hype about the iFruit app, I'm surprised there wasn't buzz about this. Seems like it might be helpful. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/grand-theft-auto-v-the-manual/id699032795?mt=8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merch Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I know the world is a different place and terrorists aren't nations so we have to change our tactics, but I think some of what Rockstar is commenting on with this game does hit on how drastically our country has changed in this post-911 world ... more-so than they did in GTA IV I think even. I know that it is meant to be commentary on the 'Enhanced Interrogation Techniques' used by the US government, but how they portrayed it in the game doesn't really work. The protagonists are against it at first, but are forced go along with it anyway. The person who gets them to do it is a corrupt government official. So is it a commentary on self serving, morally bankrupt official putting results before any human cost? But by torturing the man, he does give them what they need. So is that an endorsement of it? One of the medal requirements is to use all of the torture devices, which adds a whole other level of discomfort to it. Overall I think why the scene seems so muddled and awkward is because R* wanted to do something on torture and had no idea how to fit it in, or it's there purely for shock value. It's pretty similar to the controversy around Zero Dark Thirty last year. I haven't gotten there yet but they mentioned that in the IGN review. Honestly, I'd be surprised if it tops a couple of torture scenes in The Last of Us. Those we're pretty intense. I think this is a case of context is everything. In Last of Us the tone is gritty and brutal, and Joel's capacity for violence increases as he get's more obsessed with Ellie. In GTA it's just a one off with no relation to the narrative.

Sqeagy Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I just got to where you play as Trevor. I already hate him in that very first cutscene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveBodom Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Just doing the torture mission now but i doubt i'll be phased or there will be a film i've seen that has just as bad or worse. Only complaint still is the police search and instant kills driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennisb407 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Not a bitch and moan deal but a heads up since I didnt want to start a thread but GTA5 is already used on gamestop within my zipcode, so if you haven't gotten it yet check your zip and the PUR coupon of the week is 25% off a used game.
