ASK ME ABOUT BEING ALLERGIC TO POSITIVITY

Honestly I love this game but it does feel like a poo poo load of content was left aside for GTAO, which I'm not too happy about. That and the fact that the single player feels kind of half complete already (car glitches, no Android app) makes it kind of a shame that so much potential was missed.

I agree and disagree, there may be a lot held back for GTA:O, but that's all getting unlocked in less than a week, for free, and at 58 hours played I'm at 80% on the Social Club checklist. This is a huge loving game. If 90% of the content was held for online, I'm gonna have a serious problem on my hands.

A few years ago I would've agreed with this, but now I'm older and I play games in burst of a couple of hours at a time, which really doesn't seem like enough of an investment into GTA:O that I'll be able to see a lot of that content. Also I play multiplayer so rarely these days that I was going to let my Gold account lapse, so...

I know all of the above is my own problem, but I do feel like I'm missing out on content which could've been included in the single player all the same.

It sure is taking Rockstar loving ages to release the android apps or fix the major game glitches. I'm hoping they release them all along side Online, just in time for the single player to become irrelevant. If the two week wait for a loving app is any indication we will be planning online heist by the middle of next year at the earliest. My guess is Rockstar wanted more time to finish the game but Take Two pushed for it's release before the end of the console cycle. Honestly it feels like the original delay could've benefited from being a year.

So I've created my character and done the first couple of missions - all of which has been pretty smooth for me, only took about 30 minutes.

I know everyone else is having problems but maybe being in the UK is helping me.

Anyway I'm really impressed, especially with how much bigger the world feels being able to play as a girl and enter more stores.

EDIT: Also the character creator is pretty good if you take your time, get a base model you like and then finish them off with lifestyle and hair choices, etc. I'm very happy with mine, and playing as a girl is a nice change of pace.

I'm assuming she has pants. Where did you buy them? I can't find pants anywhere

She has black drainpipe jeans with high heel combat boots. I got the full outfit from a Blinko or whatever they are called. Each stand has different clothes so you need to walk around the full store until you actually find pants/shoes/accessories.

Maybe we'll get some single-player dlc after all....

Everything from the Beach Bum pack gets added into single player too, minus the multiplayer missions obviously.

I get that, but I'm replaying the game right now and listening closer to the text and following more the internet stuff, that's not how it is. Basically, Lamar and Franklin want to make their own sect of the Families. Franklin's stated reason is that the gang doesn't really let you progress in anyway. It's not so much that he doesn't want to be a gangbanger, and in a lot of ways he takes the gang stuff more seriously than Lamar does even if Lamar is quicker to fly off the handle. It's just that he doesn't want to be a footsolider for the OGs and never go anywhere. The problem is that once Stretch comes back, Lamar backs down while Franklin really pushes the issue.

I didn't pick up on any of that from the cutscenes. I wish Rockstar wouldn't hide so much story content.

I actually think that's a brilliant move on their part. If you're interested in the story you have all the tools you could want at your disposal to find out more, but they've kept the details out of the main story to streamline it all and make the periods between the action bits shorter. Besides, the story works well as is. No need to clutter it up if you don't have to, no?

This is true, but I'd rather it be hidden in some more interesting side missions for Franklin than on the internet.

I really loved the mission where Michael has to try and get his boat with Jimmy on it, it perfectly sets up the story at that point and the characters.

I don't think Franklin had something like that.

The line that got the biggest laugh from me was when Michael responded with utter confusion over Trevor saying that Martin must be rich and powerful to have such a sexy wife.

Thinking about it it would have made great sense to leave those two alive and then sell singleplayer story DLC where they can gently caress with you more and be the "end boss" of those add ons.

Would have given rockstar an obvious jumping off point for it and I doubt anyone would have felt too short changed about not getting instant revenge on two basically nobody characters.

I don't think we're ever getting that single player add-on they mentioned. Or Heist.

Michael has a new mission chain in the next-gen version where he's hunting down a murderer. That may be the content they were talking about; for all we know it could just be a text message you get from somebody, and then visiting various spots on the map.

That's exclusive to people who upgrade though so if that is what they meant I feel like they have told a half truth.
