Grand Theft Auto V

[HaloCory22]

A friend of mine picked up a copy for me today. Whats better than GTA 5? GTA 5 when its free. Also, took a look at the soundtrack. Nice variety.

My body is ready.

Picked it up yesterday. Was disappointed with it initially because of the driving and was overwhelmed because everything seems new.

But it's legit and worth the hype. Digging the story and now used to the driving. I think what stands out the most is how great it looks and plays, and I've never been the graphic nerd. I also really dig the score/background music they did for the game.

There is so much stuff to do.

[TobiasFunke]

background music? Now I'm intrigued.

 

With this whole download the game but don't download disc 2 thing I'm hoping I don't eff up the game when I install it. I've never downloaded a game to my harddrive before.

picked mine up earlier today, haven't played a whole lot.   just the intro and the first franklin mission.  the little bit of the map i've seen is very detailed and the sound is top notch.  can't say it's beautiful yet because I've only seen the ghetto parts of the city and they did a good job making it look realisitcally crappy.   the movement on foot is a lot more fluid than in the older GTAs, that's something that always bugged me and I'm glad they've improved it.

 

can't wait to hop on it again tonight and continue exploring, tomorrow is going to be a bleary eyed caffeine fueled work day

So stoked that Lazlow is back. I'm just cruising in cars listening to the talk radio. So freaking hilarious.

anyone get 5+ wanted stars and escaped yet?

 

my first order of business is hiking to the top of mount chiliad like rocky IV

[Brandon]

Yeah, with the background sound, one of the new implementations is the game has an actual score as well. So when you're on a mission or in high tense situations it kind of kicks in based on the scenario and it's movie like. Really reminiscent of Heat or The Town. Just really adds to e erytjing going on.

The more I explore I'm really impressed with the various areas of LA included and how accurate they are. From different districts of LA, the freeway and other signage, to even details like the graffiti placement and the design of the bridges on the freeway that mirror LA. Also, how areas of LA connect to each other from one area to the next. It's really impressive and detailed to its real.life counter part.

[HaloCory22]

This game is the shit. Love that the missions are different and not the same shit over and over again. Again, the detail is insane. No wonder it took them 6 years to put this out.

[TobiasFunke]

I love the question mark side missions. The pot smoking one was crazy! haha

[Hollyw00d]

Packie mccreary is back!

[HaloCory22]

I can't put this damn game down. Its interfering with my Breaking Bad time. I love that nothing is off limits. I can go anywhere. Went up north and did some off road dune buggy riding. Love it.

[Aaronkv]

Picked it up last night. Awesome game, stayed up a lot later than I should've. Can't wait for GTA Online. Takes 10-15 Minutes to drive around the outskirts of the map, if you don't get distracted by something anyways. It's huge.

[TobiasFunke]

I haven't experienced any weather different from sunny and clear yet but I hope it's on a RDR level

[HaloCory22]

I experienced some rain last night. I went to the strip club for the first time and took the stripper home. Hilarious. Felt like I was at Fritz.

[nate]

You guys are killing me.  I am trying really hard not to buy this game.

[TobiasFunke]

Why dude? So far it's been awesome.

 

I saw this video on College Humor making fun of the game for being too realistic and playing it for the 5 hours I've played it, I can honestly see the game getting too boring out of the sake of being too realistic. haha.

I haven't really played a console game in a long time.  When I did I usually ended up buying them, playing them for an hour and never playing again.

Haven't gotten to the torture part yet but I would happily love to read articles The Guardian put out after movies in the past however many years came out with torture scenes in them.

 

Just thinking right now off the top of my head Taken and the Hostel movies in the last handfull of years. I know there are countless more.

[TobiasFunke]

Braveheart, Casino, Reservoir Dogs, THE PRINCESS BRIDE!

Haven't gotten to the torture part yet

 

Ok, let me know how it goes!

[TobiasFunke]

I'm more interested in flying my plane into a blimp. But I'll let you know how it is.

[HaloCory22]

I slammed a plane into the Citybank building.
