I don't know how accurate this is, but even if the scale is slightly off it would seem the map isn't nearly as big as Rockstar claimed: It's still loving huge and very pretty though.

sirbeefalot posted:Holy poo poo, I was loving around near the train yard as Trevor, and saw a lone rail worker standing around. "What the hell," I says, and go to deck him. Motherfucker ducks my first punch, shouts "hell yeah, I NEED this" and starts boxing me. I gave him a fair fight just for being a rad dude. Proper fist fights are actually quite fun. I've had full on brawls break out everywhere from tram stations to hospitals to the middle of the highway. As far as I know if you taunt somebody and they start the fight, the police won't show up either. (Until someone pulls a gun)

I love that the Epsilon stuff seems to be playing off the fact that there was minimal stuff about it in San Andreas and people latched onto the tiniest details and desperately tried to find "the answers". The thing about finding a truck with a dent on the right fender was a pretty big thing people were convinced existed somewhere.

I'm trying to collect the sub parts and am on maybe the 6th one. It seems to be inside the nose section of a cargo plane and I can see it at the top of a ladder, but I can't swim up into the space at all, since the hole at the top of the ladder doesn't seem to actually be a hole. How am I supposed to reach the part?

I was out at sea diving for sub parts when a shark shows up and murders me before I can get a got stab at it. Respawn at the hospital, call a taxi back to the dock and immediately upon stepping out of the taxi I'm mauled by a mountain lion.

ruddiger posted:I didn't feel so bad through the torture scene as I did when I had to bust those joyriding illegal mariachis in the desert. Those dudes were just trying to have a good time! I loved that the passenger was sitting on the sit and pumping his hands in the air as his buddy hit those sand dunes. Then I tried to save the car they were in with the the sombrero and two guitars, bit I arbitrarily got two stars and the cops wrecked my car and killed me before I could save it. poo poo! I've seen that same car (With Mariachi band members hanging around nearby) parked outside one of the roadside restaurants out in the countryside before. I'm not sure if it's a location specific thing, but the one in the mission wasn't the only one you'll ever see.

I don't think I've ever been pursued by a normal police cruiser. They seem to break out the high speed pursuit cars the moment you hit 2 stars, even if you're driving the shittiest vehicle imaginable. Maybe they did the same in IV but the patrol and pursuit cars just looked a lot more alike?

Bold Robot posted:Do cops ever deploy spike strips in this game? They were a staple back in the day but I don't think I've come across one yet, except that spike strips were mentioned in the prep for one of the heists. I've only ever encountered them on highways, although they may be used on other roads too. They're usually marked with a police van and cover a couple of lanes.

Crappy Jack posted:Huh. Neat. During your first meet with Lester at the garment factory, near the end you start discussing potential team members, and just before driving off, Lester mentions how he's been working with someone, but they're a bit too unpredictable. I'm pretty sure he's talking about your multiplayer character, since from the trailer it's obvious that you do jobs for him. I suppose this is probably where the "Welcome to paradise!" line from that one trailer comes up since I didn't notice it at any point during the main missions.

Another Person posted:Is there an actual purpose to the swan dive that you do by attacking in mid air, or is it just for shits and giggles? I mean, it does that amazingly well, but outside that, it seems like a kind of odd feature. I'd imagine it's just because it was such a popular mod/trainer feature in the PC version that they decided to include it in the base game.

I got it Just before the final mission, after the heist. I chased him down but didn't kill him (Although he almost died running into traffic on the freeway) but that just counted the same as letting him leave peacefully unfortunately. Does his TV/radio show actually exist after that? I've only watched TV once and it was an episode of whatshisface gangs program before he'd been introduced as an antagonist, and Impotent Rage Cerebulon fucked around with this message at 07:49 on Sep 27, 2013 |

Away all Goats posted:That's my favorite station to listen to as Trevor. For some reason I can really see him jamming out to some Fergie and Amerie When I was playing it the first time (Before I had to revert to a previous save) it was really tense doing the 'stealthy' bit inside the depository and not knowing what would happen. But when it comes down to it, yeah, it wasn't really much at all. The bank heist in Vice City and the Casino in San Andreas honestly felt like a bigger deal than that ended up being. It was a really nice setup though, even if it was mostly just the 2003 Italian Job but with muscle cars. ^ Sometimes collectables seem to bug out in placement, like they have vertical 'physics' which acts before the surroundings load in or something. I had a sub part appear to be inside some wreckage which wasn't accessible even though it looked like it should be so I was convinced I had to get in somehow. The glowing model was inside, it turned out, but the actual position for picking it up was on the seabed below quite a bit. Just going away far enough that it resets the area should be enough rather than restarting your console. Cerebulon fucked around with this message at 09:40 on Sep 27, 2013 |

I kinda wished they just rolled all of it into option C, made it that much better, then let you choose if they live or die in some horrible situation. "Press (X) to save Trevor from the burning car." (ending) I chose to kill Trevor initially because he's an awful person and I thought C was Franklin death, but reverted a save because Trevor still had side missions.

I thought honking at somebody always yielded the same response (Them getting out of the way/fleeing), but I just honked at a pickup on the highway and the guy turned around in the cab and gave me the finger shouting "Hey gently caress you!" and continued as he was. Then I passed him and he chased me down, ramming me given any opportunity. So many details.

Alright so that's pretty awesome. I was shooting at a VW Camper lookalike and hit the gas tank instead of the back tyre and it started leaking fuel all over the place, leaving a trial if it was moved. After a while the tank stopped draining and I got in, but Micheal didn't even attempt to start it. Then I went off and shot a trail it'd left, expecting it to explode, but the trail burnt up and then the puddle underneath the van burnt for a while and popped the tyres. But there was no explosion, presumably because there was no fuel to ignite. I assume this is possible for all vehicles but a lot easier on things with the gas tanks visible underneath from the side? Edit: Couldn't get back into the van once I'd got in once and been unable to start it, so now it counts as destroyed I suppose.

It seems like every time I switch to it, it's the meditation guy or the Irish Brother Somethingorother being interviewed. Oh, or Fernando Martinez's show.

You only actually drive one or two cars there ever and there's only 5-6 that even appear in the area and all of them are unique/unique variants so they probably all just have poo poo traction values or something.

You don't drop banked money when you die. I think you only drop like $500 at a time now, but at initial release it was something ridiculous like 5k per death and just made money horrible to get. Oh, and it can't be stolen by muggers. Who can take a hell of a lot of money on the orders of another player.

It's kind of incredible how many of those banned words come up in the game in an intentionally offensive context anyway in the form of stuff on signs/company names/slogans (As opposed to just said by batshit people on the radio who are supposed to be intensely dislikable anyway). Rockstar making tasteless jokes in their own game is different I guess.
