Some neat things I've found while loving around in LS:

Franklin can steal cars better than Michael and Trevor. If you don't have a wanted rating, he'll slimjim the lock open so you dont get alarms / broken windows! Sometimes he will just smash it though.

You can actually sneak your way into the military base, its not an automatic wanted rating.

If you ragdoll your way under a car somehow, your character actually crawls out from under it, unlike in IV where you'd just teleport. (I don't mean exiting a flipped car)

Some more neat things:

You can kick the giant oranges from the stores you can sometimes see along roadsides. They roll around and can really, really wreck cars.

Ballas don't like it when you steal one of their purple lowriders, paint it green and take it back. They stared at me as I pulled into CJs old place and then one of them tried to jack me. I tried to escape, but everyone in the area pulled guns on me :stare:

I traded my 360 for a Vita to use with my PS4 but now all I want to do is get another last gen console to play GTAV with again. Is there any chance of this coming to PS4 anytime soon or will I really have to buy my 8th 360?

StabMasterArson

Well, just as I was contemplating buying a last gen console, apparently a retailer just put up a next gen preorder for GTAV for a June date. I'd be happy with that.

Really? It looks really good, like someone took the time to rig that animation properly, which to me says by hand. I mean all the animations are really good in the game, actually. But hey if that's essentially generated automatically due to the engine, that's awesome too.

I think the best way they showed this off was in one of the first GTA IV trailers, with the guy falling down the stairs and trying to get his footing back.

Seeing how most people play GTA on Twitch etc kind of make me see why people might be concerned about the people playing this. It seems like all they do is beat the poo poo out of virtual women and try and take pictures of up their skirts :psyduck:

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?

This was just as the game came out and it won't give me a second chance now. Tried the PS Store, didn't get the preorder bonus. I'd even consider buying shark cards at this rate :sigh:

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.

Yeah sorry that's what I meant. Doesn't work for my Online character or Michael, Franklin seems to have his 500k though.
Is it worth contacting support about?

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.
e: V yeah I bought it through PSN

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.

I can only see Shark Cards, no bonus packs. I did however download the bonus money thing when I was preloading it.
I'd have enough for my yellow countach if I had that money and I'm now going to have to buy even more shark cards if I want it. where's the :rockstar: smiley?

How full are the GTA Online servers? At this point I'm pretty certain I'll pick it up, but don't want to bother yet if every server only has 8 people.

It's hard to judge since they're totally broken. Biggest game I've been in was about 22 players, but good luck trying to find a race or deathmatch. It seems that it's also using the same invite system as the PS3, which just selected a random letter and start inviting people who's usernames begin with that letter.

I'm dumb, when people refer to gta-online are they talking about the multiplayer portion of gta 5, or is this some separate thing?

GTA Online is part of GTA 5, for whatever reason Rockstar likes to distance the two and make Online seem like a whole different thing.

I really wish things like falling down stairs didn't remove your armor stat before health, just went straight to health and kept armor for things like bullets. Also that there were more soda machines to get health at.

I figured theyd have burger shots and food places back in this with drive-thrus or something. Snacks are alright but you have to go through a load of menus and hammer buttons to get full health again

Niko would place his hand down on the hood for stability as you stumbled past a car and would slip and lose his balance when the hood geometry changed.

I mean, you don`t even get a hint of any of that in V.
