I can't play yet, drat servers, but my slacker girl Kitty is ready. Yeah, worst creator ever. Can't believe they didn't copy Saints Row and let people sort this out in advance so all the online personas were already stored. I just stopped messing with heritage once I got someone vaguely human looking, and stopped pissing with lifestyle once I got clothes I could put up with for the first hour or so.

That looks surprisingly decent.

The character creation system is rear end, but I managed to make a guy I was happy with anyways. It'd be better if you could see the parents/grandparents clearly. Anyways I can't get online :( you'd think Rockstar would have spent the assload of money they made on more and better servers.

The heritage characters aren't from any GTA games tho? They're just random people. Very very ugly random people.

Yeah it's completely broken on PSN at least. Can't even start a solo game.

Be glad. I got on and won some races, robbed some places, and killed some people. Then I spent some cash upgrading my car and it wouldn't let me leave the garage, so I had to exit to the dashboard. Now if I try to go online I get a message that it can't load "Character 1" and it kicks me back to the regular game.

I was so happy to get in on hour one and start earning some cash, but I fear it's gone down the digital toilet already.

After playing for a bit, the game dropped out and forced me to drop to dash. Got back in alright, but pretty much immediately gave me a hard lock.

My old-rear end 360 doesn't appreciate hard locks.

I was surprised by this too I expected them to have all the characters from rockstar games from the guy from LA noir to Little Jacob from GTA4.

I feel they missed out by putting the boring random characters in

Yeah these characters look like absolute rear end. Who the gently caress thought this was passable in 2013? WHO?!

If you spend 30 minutes tooling around with it you can get some decent looking characters (as in: not crack addicts) if that's your thing. The main problem is your grandparents photos are so small.

You can see how the genetics system works but eventually once you've got an idea of how you want your person to look, it does kind of boil down to endlessly flicking between members of your ancestry and tweaking sliders. But still more 'fun' than pages of sliders in other games, probably.

Don't worry though, after that it throws you into an unskippable race with no menu and it's of course totally hammered.

Don't rely entirely on the random button. And go to the stats screen and adjust those things because they affect your appearance.

And don't worry because you're probably going to have to do it all again later/in a week when the servers cool off.

So they're probably going to eventually overhaul this god awful character creator, right? Why the gently caress did they not just let us do it you know like every other character creator in any other game? My guy looks like a total douchebag.

So evidently doing any 'Illegal Work' at all means your character has to look like a methhead. Well at least that poo poo doesn't really matter.

Now to keep watching every Michael warp-to scene repeatedly because Rockstar didn't think to put in something as simple as a 'retry' button when it fails to connect or host a game :suicide:

Made my first character, started loading and I was expecting an intro, then it randomly dumped me in the air just behind the Vinewood sign, where I got sucker punched by a guy. As messed up as it is it's pretty funny.

I'm not annoyed really that it's not working yet, seeing as how it's the fastest selling game in history it's totally expected. I may try later on today or most likely next week. Really looking forward to it when it works properly though!

Hi, I already have you on my list as angrynaut. Is there an Australian gang thingo set up?

Any other Australians out there, feel free to add me, too.

In ugly-rear end-characters chat, I managed to make a pretty normal looking guy by not mixing races (who knew Rockstar were racial purists?) in my lineage and maxing all resemblance to the male side of the family.



For a good shot of your character, hold the back/select(?) button and scroll down to Player Mood.
