MissileWaster posted:I've given everyone the biggest hair and the biggest beard they can have. It's pretty amazing. It probably makes me some kind of dumb hipster but I've done the same thing. I just can't resist those big manly beards. Also everyone must wear aviators, everyone. I also really dig that despite the varying fashions of the player characters, it's possible for me to dress pretty much all of them out of my own personal wardrobe if I choose.

DangerKat posted:In that same vein, I haven't yet done any biking but is that musicless too? Would be great if there is an iPod-type option. I thought I heard in the pre-release thread that it was going to be a feature, just like in Saint's Row 4. And then I felt betrayed when it turned out to be false. Luckily the bikes own and so do the ambient soundtracks, but they don't seem to do a whole lot unless you're actively causing trouble. It'd be nice if they had some cool music for going on a country bike ride or something.

The Duggler posted:Your last point is the greatest shame of this otherwise great game. The potential was there for an amazing experience but somehow they rope in the same poo poo that everyone has hated about other GTAs being indebted to some jerkass and having to spend more than half he game as an errand running bitch. This game should have been about Michael, Franklin and Trevor building up a crew and doing job after job instead of "hey the FIB is going to have you run around 75% of the time Yeah, it's kind of a bummer, and I figured they'd learned their lesson given the convo that Lamar and Franklin have at the beginning of the game.

I don't mind that he is a little bit sad and down on himself, but for fucks sake man I did not blow a couple thousand dollars way too early in the game to not have you wear a loving jean jacket and jeans like my loving Dad*. The first time I went golfing and started doing lovely, I realized I was playing a dad simulator.

The Casualty posted:Question for you guys: (Franklin mission chain spoilers) If you don't do the first assassination mission, the one that gives you a new house in Vinewood Hills, then is the interaction between Franklin and Tanisha at the start of "Lamar Down" different? It wouldn't make much sense if she's complaining about how you forgot the hood of you were still crashing with your aunt. For that matter, is your conversation with Lamar on the way home changed? I don't think you can save that particular assassination until the end. When I was playing I had to do that to get the next story missions to pop up.

Well it smells like bullshit since they say the source is Rockstar themselves and it would have been announced on their site if there was actually any sort of official statement, and that mockup is clearly fake since there's no way Rockstar will use GFWL since it's dying in June.

lady blue shanghai posted:How do you flip people off from your car? I saw posts saying to press L1 when unarmed, but I can't make myself be unarmed in the car. The square/X button toggles your in car weapon when you're driving. There's an unarmed setting that you can toggle to, though if you have a lot of weapons usable in a car it might take awhile to find it.

http://www.shacknews.com/article/81287/bully-sequel-could-go-a-lot-of-directions-says-rockstar Only tangentially related to GTA, but Dan Houser says he'd like to make a sequel to Bully. He says in the interview that he doesn't really see Jimmy becoming a GTA-protagonist; that he's not that much of a dirtbag. Personally, I think the best thing for a Bully sequel would be Jimmy going to a prestigious university. Expand the time scale a little bit, give us all four years of undergrad to play with so we can see characters grow and change as they discover themselves in college, maybe let some of our decisions effect that as time progresses. Give us a bigger college town to run around in and maybe a whole frat/sorority system for factions.

Creepy Goat posted:Rockstar openly said to expect a shitstorm of bugs, crashes, downtime and constant patches for several weeks after Online launch. So I dunno, maybe playable around November? I would be more okay with this kind of expectation if I hadn't rushed through most of the single player like a fiending meth addict. But I blame Rockstar for making us wait 5 years between installments. Even if it was worth the wait.

In older games it was used to respray the paint on your car and escape cleanly, but in this version, I dunno? Huh, the game says you can use it if cops can't currently see you, so maybe that's a glitch?

^Clearly a loving professional.^Jakcson posted:I seriously think the game designers wanted to make every single character in GTA V as unlikable as possible. I actually think some people are just hypersensitive about poo poo. Like, I think I'm the only person that actually liked Michael and his family, and thought all the dysfunctional poo poo among them was endearing. It was like Quentin Tarentino's take on the Griswolds and I loved every minute. The mission near the end of the game where you have to go get your family back together was probably one of my favorites and I had big dumb grin on my face the whole time. Then I got the most  Michael character transition where he was walking past some prostitutes to get to his car and they were asking him if he wanted a good time. He spins around, smiles and points to his wedding ring, and says something like, "Not today, ladies, just window shopping. I'm a happily married man!" Sure, they were pretty loving abrasive a lot of the time, but that's pretty much every character in a GTA game.

^Also gently caress you for being able to enjoy this product that I cannot.^Crappers posted:Really no surprise this is broken for most people including myself. Did we really expect this whole thing to run smoothly from day 1? Will try again tomorrow with fingers crossed! I know I didn't expect things to be completely smooth, but I did expect to be able to create a character without hard locking my PS3. This is stupid and it honestly would have been better for them to delay the online launch if they needed more time to get their poo poo together.

I just heard Dirty Laundry on my way home from work and how the gently caress is it not on Los Santos Rock Radio? It's like the GTA Vest song I've ever heard. I mean, a game that oozes California really could have used a song by (one of) the guy(s) that wrote 'Hotel California.'
