One complaint I have, and it's not something that I'm even blaming Rockstar for, is that there's a gently caress-bomb about every thirty seceonds, even if your just driving your car around. My little girl likes to watch me drive around acting foolish and making jumps in GTA games (no shooting or missions or anything), and every time you drive within a foot of a ped or another car, someone's yelling "gently caress YOU YOU loving gently caress". I eventually had to go up into the sticks for my crazy driving, but luckily she thinks it's hilarious when I drive a truck down a mountain at top speed.

The ragdoll button is a huge hit with her, too. I kept climbing on higher and higher stuff and jumping off, and there's nothing like the laughter of a small child watching a hillbilly land head first in a parking lot after jumping off a bar roof. I capped it off by driving into the city and diving off the top of the skyscraper that's being built.

I agree. I let my kid play GTAIV out in the industrial area where he would be relatively free of people, but this game is tough to avoid the swearing. I turned off the FX and just did music but even the commercials are pretty bad.

He had a blast driving the boat in the ocean though. Tons of open water for him to cruise on and no distractions.

The problem I had was that I hijacked it to keep it from moving and that's why I didn't get anywhere. Worked like a charm once I just jumped on top of a bus with a driver. I didn't fall off at all, got a wanted level, and the bus itself kept a good distance from cops. I eventually used this to my advantage and kept throwing bombs and RPGs at them as they desperately tried to keep up. I eventually got greedy though and fell off...

...at the very Northern edge of road on the map. With 4 stars.

Speaking of I don't know how I feel about the cops in this game. I *do* like that they're not EVERYWHERE like GTA4 or the PS2 era games. You generally don't have to worry (as much) about some rear end in a top hat cop flipping a poo poo anymore about your minor poo poo just because he was on the beat.

That said, even at 1 star, the cops are colossal assholes and I usually end up shooting them and making things worse. I realize this is more towards Rockstars "realism" but holy God. It also doesn't help that last night four times in a row when I switched to Trevor he was getting into a fight with someone and I just pulled a gun. $20,000 in medical bills later... :mad;

Seriouslu $5k for a death is outrageous. Even when you do have over a B.

The worst part for me is that it's now impossible to change cars if yours gets incapacitated. If the cops disable my car during a chase and I have anything over 2 stars, it take so long to get the driver out of another car that I just get killed. Pulling a gun on the driver just has them speed off instead of running too.

I have similar visions while playing but it's all about the run down Blaine County since I live in the Inland Empire :smith:

Personally though I find GTAV fun even without stealing cars or going on rampages. Sometimes I'll just drive a motorcycle all the way around the island a couple times weaving through traffic really fast, it's relaxing.

I spent an entire afternoon just driving a boat around the island listening to the classic rock station.

Amid all the murder and mayhem is seriously one of the most relaxing games I've eve played.

I wish the NPC drivers in GTAV stopped and ran out of their car when you pointed a gun at them like in GTAIV. As it is now they always just panic and gas it which makes carjacking difficult and incredibly slow.

I would honestly hold off on a console until the inevitable redesign/price drop happens for whichever. If you have a pc that can handle it or it just needs a new graphics card just wait.

Target has the XBone for $250 on Black Friday.

All of these stream will be taken down until someone sets up shop on a sketchy Russian or Chinese streaming site. I remember before the game was launched that one guy was playing whack a mole with streams for a while.

But do they do that on every GTA V stream or just streams of the new port? And how do they prove which one someone's playing unless they're showing off the new FPS mode?

It seems ridiculous to shut down GTA V streams when the game's like a year old now, new port or not.

They do it on unreleased games. This the new game isn't out yet so they're exercising their right to have the stream removed.

The new GTAV has a new minimap so it's pretty obvious if they're playing the new one. Plus all the dumbasses label the stream "NEW GTAV STREAM" to get maximum viewers.

Man, that's kind of lame.

Do the gamers even deserve to get punished if they paid their money for the product? It's not their fault that some stores broke the rules.

They're not punishing the gamers, they're punishing the streaming sites.

Besides the Wii U, no one I know has jumped on the X1 or PS4 upgrade since "its just cheaper and easier to buy them on steam"

Xbox One and PS4 have sold around 30 million units but yeah I guess your dorky friends are a good indicator that console gaming is dead

I'm sure that number is true but why does the consumer care when consoles are worse about patching.

Steam is literally download -> play

X1 -> download -> download again because it corrupted -> download again because of a patch -> ensure live servers are active so you can play a game you purchased -> play

PS4 -> PSN is down -> PSN is still down -> watch netflix instead

I've literally never had this experience with my PS4, hth.
