 Out now for the following platforms: 360 PS3 PS4 (Re-release) Xbox One (Re-release) PC (Re-release) Map of the game world:  Click for giant detailed 5944x8075 version! And here's a map that you can scroll through to see all the different collectibles, side missions, property, etc. available in the game. According to Rockstar, the map is bigger than San Andreas, Red Dead Redemption and GTAIV combined. I've put 150+ hours into this game between multiplayer and 2 playthroughs of the single-player and I'm still hungry for more. It really is loving huge and gives you a ton of exploration options. In GTA5, there are 3 main playable characters that you can switch between at just about any time, both during missions and outside of missions. Every time you switch characters outside of missions, the character you switch to will be up to something, whether they're watching movies or creeping on people on the beach or taking the dog for a walk. The world feels persistent and alive as a result. Michael De Santa (formerly Michael Townley)  A former bank robber whose death was faked after a job gone wrong. Now in the FIB (GTA equivalent of FBI) witness protection program. Has a rocky relationship with his dysfunctional family. Begrudgingly gets back into a life of crime. Trevor Philips  Michael's former running buddy. Unstable drug user prone to violence. Lives in the sticks. Under the Trevor Philips Enterprises umbrella, runs a meth lab and hopes to expand into arms trade. Franklin Clinton  Once a gang banger and drug dealer, Franklin served time in prison and now aspires to turn his life around and make something of himself. Works repo jobs for a car dealership. Meets Michael on a repo job. Franklin also has a friend named Lamar that's from the same hood as him. While he's not exactly a main character, he can simultaneously be pretty hilarious and grating. This is about all you need to know about him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntQrrW9t6a8 As in San Andreas before it, each of GTAV's characters has stats such as Stamina, Lung Capacity, Shooting, Stealth and Driving for the player to maintain. In addition, each character has their own special skill. For Franklin, it's slowing down time while driving. For Trevor, it's double damage and reduced damage taken. For Michael, it's bullet time. These special skills can be activated by pressing both controller sticks simultaneously. There's a meter for the special skill in the HUD, and it'll run out after a limited amount of time, but it does recharge. There's a lot to do in GTAV (the understatement of the year). You can drive cars. You can fly planes. You can race boats. You can ride bikes. You can gun down civilians. You can egg on cops. You can visit strip clubs. You can mod cars. You can own property. You can plan out and execute heists. You can watch movies. You can get tattooed. And that's not even half of it. Here, check out some trailers: First Trailer (from 2011) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkkoHAzjnUs The Official Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvoD7ehZPcM Character Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf38HiYPMiI Gameplay Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-xHcvug3WI Grand Theft Auto Online Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olEGtoYs_8A "Wait, online?!  " you say? Yep! GTA: Online is the multiplayer component of GTAV, which offers a variety of multiplayer modes along with free roam. IGN posted:GTA Online or Grand Theft Auto Online, the multiplayer component to GTA 5, will launch two weeks after GTA 5 on October 1, 2013. GTA Online will be free for everyone who bought a copy of the game. The events of GTA Online take place BEFORE the events of GTA 5. IGN posted:'Crews', which have been recently seen in Max Payne 3, will also be used in GTA 5. The 'Crew' mechanic makes use of Rockstar's Social Club, which has been in use since the release of Red Dead Redemption. By creating a 'Crew' in a game such as Max Payne 3, players will be able to port across their character between the two games.  The original GTA: Online thread has been archived. Please direct all further GTA: Online chat to the new thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3682735. PC GTA:O Steam group:KittySpinEcho posted:I noticed there wasn't a Steam Group for GTA V on PC yet, so I went ahead and made one. Idle in the chat to find people to play coop with. Can we please put a link to this group in the OP? Update Regarding Single-Player DLC: Rockstar posted:GTAV Story Mode Updates. For those ready to jump back into the story of Grand Theft Auto V, we have big plans for substantial additions in 2014 continuing Michael, Franklin and Trevor's action, mayhem and unexpected adventures in Southern San Andreas. The game is now out on PS4, Xbox One and PC. These versions are re-releases of the original 360/PS3 game, which include the following exclusive features:
Also, Rockstar has stated that if you already transferred your character to the PS4/XB1 versions from the PS3/360 versions, you will be able to transfer your character from PS4/XB1 to the PC version. Next Gen Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DBrG2YjqQA Next Gen Trailer 2: "A Picket Fence and a Dog Named Skip" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PeTsPd8Opk The PS4/XB1/PC versions also have a first-person mode. While previous GTA games have had first-person look, you can now move around, fire guns, drive vehicles, use your phone to take selfies, etc. in first-person. And Rockstar have created all new animations for this mode, so it's not just a no-effort addition! It's actually a completely new and different way to experience the game. Trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oFmRN0oadI PS3/PS4 Visual Comparison Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fng-OaFeeO0 PS4 Launch Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBvMSP7cI-Q [b]PC Launch Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPJ8LT_48RU Direct link to the 1080p60FPS version of the trailer for the PC version from Rockstar's site.

FAQ Section Is there a PC version on the way?  Yep! It's out now, finally. System specs: quote:Minimum specifications: Can my dogshit laptop from 5 years ago run this game?  Check this poo poo out:  I heard something about Rockstar Social Club accounts being hacked. What's that about/what can I do?  Change your password ASAP! Justin Credible posted:Just to keep this in the ongoing knowledge - PC Rockstar Social Club accounts are being hacked for days now, Rockstar is saying jack poo poo about it, I checked the pastebin of around 200 accounts and I wasn't on there, and had my account swiped. There are threads everywhere but the relatively small number (looks like around 5000 now) of accounts compromised. There are glitches that can boot you and say you were signed in elsewhere - or it can also mean your account is hacked. They will change the email to a .ru account, change the name, and you will be locked out. Don't get any response but form ones from Rockstar support, and the hacker has access to your account and can delete your tickets anyway, because it will register them under that login. What is the best (currently available) version of the game to get?: PC, then PS4, then Xbox One, then 360/PS3 in that order. It depends on what you have. If you have a good gaming PC, obviously get it for PC as that's the best version of the game period. If you don't have a good gaming computer but have a 360, get it for 360. But if you plan on getting the 360 version: What's this I hear about installing GTAV and problems installing it on 360? There's a mandatory 8GB install for the game on PS3/360. This should take between 10-20 minutes for most users. On the PS3, the game comes on one disc, so the mandatory install is all that's required. However, on the 360, in addition to the mandatory install, there is the option to install the other disc (Play disc) to the hard drive, as is an option with a lot of disc based 360 games for faster load times, less wear on the DVD drive, etc. Several users found that installing the Play disc to the same storage device as the mandatory install caused low framerates, graphical glitches, etc. If you plan on installing the Play disc, install it to a separate storage device than the one you used for the mandatory install. So use a USB stick or something. You're going to want to get at least a 16GB USB stick, and don't worry about whether or not the stick has USB 3.0 because the 360 doesn't have USB 3.0 ports and can't benefit from a USB 3.0 drive's faster speed. How long does the story take to beat? I've beaten the game 3 times, and between all of my playthroughs, I'd estimate that it takes 25-30 hours to finish the main story and more than that if you decide to do all the side missions. What's this I hear about a torture scene?  In one of the FIB missions for the main story, you play as Trevor and have to torture a guy for information. You get a gas can to waterboard the guy with gasoline, wrench to hit him in the knees with, car battery to clamp to his nipples and shock him with, and pliers to pull out one of his teeth with. Yeah, it's controversial. We know. GTA as a series is and always has been controversial for a lot of reasons, and this is just one more to add to the list. What song plays during Michael's mission in which your son drugs your drink and you go on a crazy trip where you fly throughout the city while colors explode all around you? The C90s - Shine A Light (Flight Facilities Remix) This can be found on the Radio Mirror Park station. Don't watch this video if you don't want to be spoiled for the mission in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tsM_uY_fKw What's the song from the trailer? The Chain Gang Of 1974 - Sleepwalking This can be found on the Radio Mirror Park station. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8puEIliGOg I heard Kavinsky has his own radio station in this game. Is that true? That's awesome! No, sadly that was just a rumor  Yeah, it really would have been awesome. However, there is a Flying Lotus station in the game that rules.Is Michael's son Jimmy voiced by Jonah Hill? No. It does sound a lot like him, but it's actually young Pete from Pete & Pete. The actor's name is Danny Tamberelli. If you replay heist missions, can you select the alternate route and experiment with different crew members? Yes, but you don't receive any of the awards. I heard you can take selfies in this game. Is that true? Yes. Open up the camera on your phone and then click the right stick to go into Self Portrait mode. What cheats are available for this game? Lots! Vehicle spawns, temporary invincibility, explosive melee attacks, replenish health/armor/weapons/ammo, etc. There's a list on GameFAQs. Unfortunately, unlike in GTAIV, once you enter these cheats the first time, they won't save to your phone, so you'll have to enter them each time you want to use them. When should I do the assassination missions? If you want to net over a billion dollars from them, then wait until after you complete the game. Follow this guide to get the maximum amount of money: quote:Make sure to quicksave before you answer the phone just in case you make a mistake. You can always restart! Handsome Ralph posted:Did this myself yesterday, between doing that and distracting myself on the internet, took about an hour to do. Walked away with about 1.8 Billion for each character. The one thing I'd recommend doing that this guide failed to mention is doing the sleep/save cycle thing at a hideout 3-4 times to get the maximum return on your investment. Bum The Sad posted:Regarding the stock market assassination money making. IGN has this to say about the Vice assassination where you invest in Fruit. Bum The Sad posted:Ooooo I discovered another trick to it just now. Since these stocks are on BAWSDAQ which is the online one. The game has to artificially manipulate it for the mission. But one thing the game does is reset the stock market after you load the game. Facade was at like $650 real online price before the crash and crashed to like $350 but rebounded to $520 and would not budge higher which is a 33% return which gives you the 100% listed on IGN. i.e. You get a 50% on Fruit and then multiply that gain by the 33% from Facade. (I.e $100 x 50% = $150 x 33% = $200) Where do the cars spawn for Michael's Epsilon missions?

So after beating the game, I finally had enough money and bought the Buzzard attack chopper. It's reeeeeally hard to fly, and I hate this target in the distance poo poo. I'm just starting out with it, but it feels impossible to go on a rampage with it like I did with the Hunter in previous GTA games Maybe it'll get easier the more I practice. And it should definitely be easier in the eventual PC version, I would think.

I'm at the barber shop in Paleto Bay, one I've never been to before, hoping to try out some new hair on Trevor, but it's just the same styles as everywhere else

I only have 3 missions available for Franklin right now and none for Michael or Trevor. For Franklin, the only mission I can see for him on the map is a big green area marked "Weed Stash". When I go to it, nothing happens. What am I supposed to do for that mission? And is it a whole chain of missions? Because there should be 2 more on the map otherwise, right?

Jesus Christ, does wanted level come back after you've lost the cops if they spot you in a stolen car? Because this has happened to me twice in the last 10 minutes or so: I'll steal a car, lose the cops, have no wanted level, drive somewhere far away, happen to drive next to a cop and my wanted level comes back. And I didn't kill anyone or hit any cop cars either time to become wanted.

I'm playing GTA5 with the sound off while I listen to (and occasionally watch) the Breaking Bad marathon on AMC in the background, and every time the show gets quiet, I get to hear my PS3's hard drive constantly spinning, even when I'm doing something basic like driving around with no wanted level and not saving. Jesus, it's like this game never gives the hard drive a break.

Baron FU posted:Skip across the grass. Block her whenever possible. And don't press the left stick. She's not that hard if you just want to finish the mission. The Casualty posted:Don't do that, I suppose. She's perfectly beatable unless you have lovely stamina. The first time I tried was really early in the game. Michael had crap for stamina and I ended up draining his health enough to make him faint about 8 feet from the finish line and lose by inches.  I just beat it by literally less than a split second, and that was even with falling down the stairs once or twice

Is there a guide of all the missions that count for the character switch menu? Because I have none available for Michael and Trevor, but Franklin has 1. I've done all available story missions, Strangers and Freaks missions, street races, some sea races, some triathlons, etc. So there's 1 mission left and I have no idea what it is. There's nothing obvious on my map that would indicate an available mission, either. If there is, I'll put it in the OP, because I'm sure other people will wonder about this at some point as well.
