Cerebulon posted: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: What is this using for reference? It looks like they just took the San Andreas map of Los Santos, made it some arbitrary size, and then compared it to Los Santos from GTAV. Also saying that San Andreas doesn't use repeated buildings? That's blatantly false and leads me to believe whoever made this was just tripping on nostalgia.

I can't find where, but R* definitely said there's going to be a mission editor. They also said it's not going to be available at the launch of GTAO, but the race and deathmatch editors will. I suspect that they're using some sort of beta version to create the 500 or so missions they claim GTAO is going to have.

Is there any ambient music when you're just swimming around underwater in free roam? I've been swimming around for hours and haven't heard anything. It feels like a missed opportunity considering that they likely could have produced a great underwater ambient track right up there with Jolly Roger Bay.

lady blue shanghai posted:I just want to be sure I'm not missing anything with the phone. When you get emails, you hit X (PS3) to reply and that's the only way to reply, right? All of my emails have the red reply arrow at the bottom, but I can only reply to certain ones. For example I can reply to Brad and Ron but not to Maude - even though her email seems like she wants a reply. The green arrow is the reply one. It makes more sense on the 360 where the green A button is reply, and the red B button is to go back.

When/if the PC version comes out, would anyone be interested in a mod or API that gives you more control over what plays on radio stations? I love the soundtrack in this game, I think it's right up there with Vice City, but I have this overwhelming urge to remove I'm Free from the radio and replace it with Danger Zone.

Crappy Jack posted:The trucks are listed on the map on the social club, they're technically random events. Also, you can't shoot out the back of a truck unless it was in a random event. I once found an armored truck driving around, took out the drivers, and managed to escape into the sewers with it. Then I unloaded 100+ shotgun shells into the back of it and the fucker STILL wouldn't open, so I drove it into the subway and left it on the tracks, threatening the subway conductor with a gun so he would ram into the truck, which blew it up and sent money flying everywhere. It was pretty loving awesome, but it still feels like an oversight that I was unable to blow open the doors.

Well I (and anyone who isn't a total scrub) play with lock-on turned off, and hardly ever remember to use bullet time. For me it's less about the lock on and more about the hitscan bullets and lack of shootdodge.

I took the money and killed the survivors, which prompted a gang to come and get me, who shot the tank of my car which created a gas leak that they then lit to try to kill me. This happened to me too, but it was around the northwest corner of the map, definitely not the desert. Does this mean it could happen more than once?

How in the world is the designer destination for moviemaking and all that gonna be some island literally loving forever and a day away from any other land? Didn't Sleeping Dogs have a modelled landscape off in the distance to show where China was? That'd make WAY more sense, if we can't actually be connected to somewhere. It's suspension of disbelief. Again, I'd rather have an island than the game show you an area of the map that you can't possibly access. Even if you design it to be as low-poly and uninteresting as you can, I still feel like it invalidates everything sandbox games are supposed to be.

I love just driving around at night as Michael wearing a leather jacket, feels eerily similar to Michael Mann's Thief (especially with the Tangerine Dream ambient score) You're better off this way. It's a pretty bad idea to purchase XBL just for one game, but if you're like me and just say gently caress it and buy it anyway, you'll get the most out of your money by putting it off until they start adding features. By that point the game should at least be borderline playable. circ dick soleil fucked around with this message at 22:12 on Oct 3, 2013 |

RatHat posted:Don't buy properties intending to make money. The only one that'd be worth it is the Sonar Collections Dock since you get around 1 million out of it by collecting nuclear waste barrels(you pay 250k for the dock though). All the rest take way too long to become profitable. If you do the assassination missions after the main story and invest all your money you should never need to worry about money again anyway. I've definitely got my money's worth out of the customs shop on Route 68, not in the form of actual cash but in free car modifications. But yeah you're never going to make an actual profit off of anything besides the sonar dock.

Damo posted:The whole point of my tirade is that free aim is poo poo, did you somehow miss that? I have to use auto aim because with the new hardcore amount of damage you take, free aim is not nearly versatile enough to keep up with killing enemies fast enough to not die all the time. I can either take 5 seconds to line up a shot that would take me <1 in every other game with decent aiming mechanics, and die, or just use autoaim and paint by numbers my way through all the battles. I was never aware that free aim actually varies that much from game to game. Aside from crosshair speed, what was the difference between free aim in GTAV and SR4?

Damo posted:GTAV has an acceleration component to it it seems. When the crosshairs are still, the stick is tuned to move them at a more fine pace. As you pick up your aiming movement, this sensitivity increases, which make stick movement move the crosshairs faster. Yeah, I figured it might have some sort of acceleration. If it does, I just hadn't noticed it, but then again I'm also pretty bad at shooters so I've just been praying and spraying my way through. If that's the case, having no setting to turn it off seems like a pretty lovely decision.

Turn off the radio and cruise around in complete silence, it's great. Also, I think the Truffade Adder has a faster top speed, but the Coil has a better acceleration, even without modifications. I prefer it so much more to the Adder because it's so zippy.

muscles like this? posted:So I've finished the game and think its kind of weird that throughout the entire thing you never fly a fighter jet. In fact, after the first couple of Trevor missions you never have to fly a plane in any story mission. Just seems kind of weird. Same with how they put in a lot of elaborate areas that they don't touch, like the prison or the outdoor auditorium up in the hills. They're used in GTA:O but I'm thinking (and hoping) that they're going to be used to future DLC. There are three highly detailed areas of the map that aren't used at all in the story; the Kortz museum, the prison, and the casino. All three of them are perfect locations to pull off heists too, which makes me really excited. This is the only game I've played where I'm actually looking forward to them adding new missions as DLC. It feels like if Ocarina of Time started coming out with DLC dungeons. circ dick soleil fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Oct 6, 2013 |
