Hopefully R* is clever enough to have players spawn in passive mode to alleviate the potential problem of such players sitting in front of spawn positions waiting for people to come in.

Yeah I didn't realise there was one. I've just put my favourite stuff into the "Features you like" topic. It was definitely a great game.

My favourite part of the interview: "The funny thing is, I'm from Western Canada and my nephew is old enough to play it and now has street cred. I'm like, "Really? Street cred in Alberta? What the fuck is that? What does that get you? A great Alberta Beef Burger or a twelve pack of maple donuts?"

Was it at night time Gunny? I've noticed some of the strangers are only available at certain times.

An hour and a half until bouncedown! Bring it on! I'm still tipping the Hawks but with a lot less certainty than the start of the week. Go the Dockers!

Just finished the story last night and there are so many things I like about the game that I won't bother listing them all so here are the main ones: - The map is amazing. They could have had more buildings you can enter but it's a beautiful world that I look forward to spending many more hours in. Unfortunately I now want an HD version of San Fierro even more and I'd love to see what they can do with Las Venturas (but please R*, San Fierro. Please); - The story was a huge improvement over IV. It was, like many have said, a movie that you interact in rather than a group of characters who perform odd jobs. Everything seemed to have a purpose and it was emotional. The start was brilliant and while I feel it fell away a little towards the end it was still enjoyable and brilliant; - I came into IV late so I wasn't so attached to the controls. I prefer V's controls for driving and flying far more than IV; - Character switching was very handy and came to the fore when you were stuck in the middle of nowhere; and - The side missions were brilliant and well thought out. The were vastly improved on IV. There are many more things I enjoyed but these are the main ones. Well done R*

I've just finished the story and my list of dislikes are similar to everyone elses: - The story was short. I really enjoyed it, it was so much better than IV's story but it could have been a little longer; - The missions weren't much of a challenge. I was challenged really on two missions and both were largely due to my impatience more than being actually difficult. I thought I'd read somewhere that you were going to be forced to think a little more but I didn't find that at all; - Some of the missions, as mentioned, weren't really mission-worthy, such as buying the masks. It cheapens the achievement of completing a mission; - Unable to enter food outlets. It was also mentioned about the Burger Shot guy in IV whom I also liked. I was surprised and disappointed that you couldn't go inside to either replenish your health or even rob them; - The casino and racetrack... I'm going to assume these will play a major part in GTAO; - There are 'for sale' signs and real estate websites and they play no part in the game. Another element I'm expecting to play a role in GTAO; and - The special for each protag was largely useless. Once I got used to the driving (no, it didn't suck!) I rarely used Franklin's ability, I didn't use Michael's until late in the game and I tried Trevor's early but it didn't really have much use for me so I stopped using it. It was an excellent game in all and these are fairly minor things in the scheme of things but certainly areas of improvement.

I finally got around to flying the blimp. It was right in front of me, I still had parts of the map I hadn't got to and thought I'd give it a go. I spent a good half an hour flying around and when I finally got all of the land mass uncovered I flew to the nearest parachuting spot, jumped out and as I jumped I clipped something on the side of the blimp on the way out and fell to my death.

Yep. Part of the reason I've yet to figure out the stock market.

I refrained from reading this thread until I finished the story which I did just now. I chose ending C because I didn't want anyone killed off. It was an alright ending, nothing special but I loved this story compared to IV. Three days of side missions until the big O!

Yeah I had that feeling but since I'm still learning the stocks I figured it would go up eventually. Apparently not.

Shittin' on their moms???

I've invested in Lifeinvader a few times under BlackSox's "under $4" theory and lost every time. It's the only company in my game that is that low and yet it just won't go up for me.

Open up Snapmatic on your computer, filter to just show your photos and then copy there and paste here.

Can you gang bang prostitutes with your crew?

If he was an avid percussionist and wished to get better he should take any helpful criticism. He appeared to have a sloppy technique, but I don't know his experience and the camera didn't fully focus, he also appears to be incorrectly holding his sticks but that again comes from if he was self taught and his experience. If a person can't take criticism then they shouldn't post about themselves on the internet. Saying "you appear to have poor technique" is certainly criticism but not helpful. Helpful is actually suggesting elements of good technique.

I think he means as an Online stat to develop.

As a WA boy I'm going for the Dockers but I expect the Hawks to get up.

I think we need to wait and see what GTA Online has in store. If the hype is to be believed it's basically another full game on top. That... Most of us have just done 69 story missions, 20 more strangers and freaks missions and we still have an entire game yet to play.

Nah, I haven't got the bloody app to train him

I was playing with Chop and went to throw him the ball but because I forgot to press the right button to take him for a walk I rushed into the wheel to throw him the ball and threw him a grenade instead.

I heard that driving sucks on PS4.

I still think it could work. My hunch is that BAWSAQ isn't truly connected to Social Club yet and that it won't function as intended until October 1. The only big moves I've seen are

I've heard a lot of people talk about the PS/XBOX divide but I've yet to see anything from R* about it. I got your invite and joined your crew anyway just in case it works. You guys should cross join crews to boost numbers.

Yeah I have seen a few places with see-through windows but no active doors or people around. I was thinking they were for Online as well.
