So I didn't see that pre-2013 characters didn't work so assuming it was busted, ported my newer, less levelled and rich PS3 character.
Now the option to transfer again is disabled :sigh: wonder if they'll give people another chance when they have the pre-2013 characters working. Didn't get my 500k preorder bonus either.

I imported my super old character just fine this afternoon. It didn't work this morning though, it's probably just launch day server issues.

As far as the bonus, did you check the Playstation Store inside the Pause menu?

First person mode totally changes the way this game plays, it's amazing. The driving is so much easier for some reason, it feels more responsive and a lot less twitchy at the same time. I will say that shooting seems harder if you don't use cover and auto assist. The reticle either moves too slow or overshoots past the target. Is it me or do the buildings don't seem to have as much detail as the shrubbery? I am driving around everywhere and can't enjoy the scenery though.

I feel terrible at driving in first person, any tips? It feels way more twitchy to me, especially since the roads in games like Forza are usually a little more oversized for clean racing. It's nice that you can set the options to automatically pan out to third person for driving, but I'd like it if I felt like I could drive down the road without running into everything (I realize it's GTA and all, but come on).

I let off the gas and brake a lot when turning and slow down to avoid poo poo hitting me, unlike other games the cars you're chasing don't seem to get an insurmountable lead if you actually take time to slow down and avoid poo poo. I also "feather" the gas when I need to get more response when steering, the driving physics aren't the best in the world, but it does seem to be easier to turn if you're not accelerating (like most decent racing game should). I also don't do a lot of countersteering if I veer too far into one direction. I just let off the gas, slow down a bit until things get more stable then floor it. It's hard to put into words, I'm just used to playing a lot of lovely racing games.

Yes, consistently. It's the biggest letdown about the game to be honest, as if you go at a high speed and dodge through traffic the fps drops noticeably.

Driving becomes easier when you get 100% driving skill, just fyi. There is a reason why driving sort of sucks at the start, single and multi player.

First person driving is surprisingly easy (and I'm one of those idiots who only ever has the trigger held completely down or completely off.)

Still abuse Franklins special ability during races though.

So far I've put around 12 hours into the game, with pretty much every minute spent in first person mode, and I find myself asking how I ever played this game without it.

If I try to do anything in third person like driving or walking around, it feels awkward/less responsive. There's been a few missions where going quickly to third person makes it a little easier - like the early mission with beverly where he asks you to drive up next to another motorcycle, and some missions with trevor where you have to land a plane.

Also I really like the new weather effects.

Tip: Turn off headbobbing and put fov to max.

Always carry a silenced micro SMG and shoot the windows / rider. The silencer decreases the penetration of the rounds so they do proportionally less damage to the car and more to the driver. Makes car stealing missions a lot easier.

This is my first time playing GTA since 2001. During the very first mission in the story, the flashback, I'm robbing the bank with two other guys. We are fighting with the cops outside and as I'm advancing to cover, I get shot in the back of my head by my buddy and the mission ends. I think I'm going to enjoy this game. :3:

Riding to the yellow meeting point after the Michael mission where he escapes the morgue and the framerate tanks hard on PS4, but that's after the police lose track and traffic goes back up to normal. Did anybody else experience that?

The preorder bonus is not in the Playstation store proper. You can only see it and collect it if while playing GTA V you hit start to bring up the map/menu screen and scroll to the far right tab which is PSN Store. You have to do this once online and once offline to collect the rewards for each.

The online one was odd for me, I had to activate it, then do it again, then I got it in game several minutes later. Franklin's 500k is it. It's 500k online and 500k offline, but for some reason the entire 500k went to Franklin. Michael got squat.

That's weird. I just bought a Shark card hoping it maybe pushes the reward through (its me I'm the problem etc) but I can't even get online now. Hopefully this sorts itself out.

Shark cards aren't listed through the pause menu iirc, instead you have to press down on GTA in the XMB and scroll down to view all items.

Shark cards are listed on the pause menu only if you are actively in GTAO. You can't buy shark cards when playing the single player campaign, they don't show up in the store then.

Do you have to do it for each character, while you are playing that character in-game? I have the pre-order bonus listed but haven't used it yet and I recall at the bottom it says something about "3 Characters".

I don't really know now. When I started playing the game, my TV said 3D signal detected (which it has never done before in any game).

I'm starting to think it was a glitch or something. It looked decent to me, but then again that was the first time ever I've tried the 3D mode. :v:

After messing around with this a bunch last night I couldn't find a setting or anything anywhere. I assume it was some false positive with your tv and it just did that thing 3Dtvs sometimes do where it forces 3D and it's not really doing much, not sure what really happens when you do that as it seemed pointless to me. It would've required quite an overhaul to the game anyway if I'm not mistaken, would also need to be capable of 60fps when not in 3D to achieve 30fps during it.

There was some mention of getting CE/SE stuff if you had that edition before, but I don't have that stuff for free or whatever. Do I need to do the Online Character Transfer thing for that to activate or do I just need to suck it up and buy the garages and other things?

I know it works for imported characters because I am an imported character and I got it just fine after I went to the store and activated it in game.

In the in game PSN menu there will be two main categories listed: Shark cards and bonus packs. The cash will be listed under bonus packs.
