Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 to a V
I just drove around last night. I stole an "Inferno" (?) car and it handles really well. I had problems with driving with the first mission too, but after that driving has been great.
I think I'm getting bronze and silver when doing missions, no golds so far.

I was being chased by the cops, so I drove out into the beach. There were two hipster chicks sunbathing. When I approached them, they made some snide comment and tried to leave on their Jet-skis. I shot them and took their money.
Also, GTA V is pretty fun.

I found a hidden package.
There are 50 hidden shards of a letter that will reveal the mystery of Lenora Johnson's murder. I knew there was a trophy related to this, but now I know how you get it.
Take the tram to the top of Mt. Chiliad. You'll find it up there.

Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 to a V
Mixed feelings on the game. It's a bit of a technical wonder considering the age of the hardware and how detailed the city is.
OTOH, it's still GTA, and none of the core gameplay mechanics are strong enough to stand alone (the shooting still sucks, the driving is fine but can't compare to an actual racing game, etc; ) It's sort of the same thing that plagued BioShock Infinite, which had a solid story and a cool world but had 15 year old game design.
Still, lot of personality, and it's a very detailed virtual world. You definitely see where the time and effort went.

Playing fetch with Chop is pretty fun. Pedestrians don't react right away when you hit them in the face with the ball but they do get pretty pissed off soon afterwards and then Chop rips them to pieces

Chop hooking up with other dogs is pretty funny. Its like they thought of everything with this game.
Sucks that the app is useless now, havent been able to log in since the game released.

Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 to a V
Did someone say the driving controls were improved in this? I'm not seeing it so far. Failed the first racing mission 4 times in a row because the pavement might as well be Super Mario-style ice. Less than 2 hours in and I'm already super-irritated with AI drivers constantly pulling or even swerving straight into my path.

Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 to a V
Driving in this game is absolutely horrible. I don't remember how bad it was in GTA 4, but I do remember it also being bad. Not sure how they still can't get it right. Still a cool game so far, but with driving being as bad as it is, it doesn't make me want to explore much.

Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 to a V
Tinkered around with this for 4-5 hours last night. Anyone else having trouble with things on the map disappearing? I tried going to 3 different question marks and one spot labeled as a friend and there was nothing at any of them. At first I thought it might be jobs or people that are only there at specific times of day, but if I move a little ways away the markers come back. I head back to them and they disappear, nothing there. Kind of annoying.

Also noticed it was easy to lose the cops if you head for the water lol.

I just got to Michael's first missions. I don't have any major issues with the driving, but then again I didn't hate GTAIV's either.

Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 to a V
Is there a better way to get weapons for free besides following around cops and waiting for one of the shooters to die and grabbing their gun? lol

Not sure on the question marks, but I know the friend that was marked was blue and I was approaching it with Michael. I'll have to check the others tonight.

This game has some nice touches. Lamar told Franklin to get a haircut, so I got him a haircut. And Lamar noticed the next time we go together!
