  1. I'm just spitballing here, but could the disappearing-car issues be related to the Social Club problems? We know that the iFruit app allows you to customize cars and have them delivered in-game, which means at least part of the car ownership mechanism lives in the cloud. And we know the Social Club web services have been hit or miss since day one, mostly miss. I realize it sounds ridiculous, but it would potentially explain the sporadic nature of the problem - sometimes my car disappears, sometimes it doesn't, sometime it reappears days later at the impound or in my garage.

    not a bad theory. there but i don't think it would have such a profound effect as this.

    personaly not had a problem with cars going missing from a garage, other than a car for what ever reason, teleporting from the garage to outside as if i parked it there


  2. done an enjoyable unexpected random event today.

    driving randomly and happened to accidentally drive into one of the construction yards in the city. when a cinematic scene took over, showing a guy in a phone while sitting in his truck.

    it switched to a view of the crane holding some heavy pipes as the cable snapped dropping said pipes on the truck which becomes a time bomb and the pipes trapped the man inside

    so i jumped into the bulldozer (at the poor mans request) and moved the pipes out the way so he could get out, queing another cinematic of the man thanking micheal as the truck explodes

    i knew about the muggings and stuff but this was cool because i didn't expect it


  3. You hear that kids? In order to view the screen better, R* wants you to sit right in front of your TV.

    i wear glasses already so no big deal.

    not being able to save my moded car pisses me off after loosing one 3 mins after spending 100k on mods for it

    And this is why I'm no longer modding any cars

    after getting told my elegy was in the impound lot and having $283 on me, i went to go pick it up, and i found that car i modded there, so got that out instead. i am now very happy


  4. There are two major flaws imo:

    1. Even non offroad vehicles can climb steep hills very quick without loosing grip.

    2. It's possible to turn around any vehicle that has landed upside down, by simply steering right or left.

    It feels like an exploit imo, so I don't use that most of the time.

    If this was intended, why bother making a crawl out of the car animation.

    it was intended, because people kept bitching about their cars being on the roof in the middle of no where and having to walk

    to that i say be careful not to roll the fucking thing in the first place.


  5. franklin i've seen saving lamar from a fight, doing pull ups on the bars at the beach, and afew boring things aswell.

    micheal does do alot interesting, seen him arguing with his wife, stuck in traffic, first time i switched to him he was having dinner with his wife (who conveniently didn't want to stay anylonger)

    trevor was boring everytime i switched to him but he made upfor it all when i switched over to him to find him strangling a guy to death at the marina, moaning about not having a boat to dumb a body in the ocean, at which point he pushes the body over the railing and into the water.


  6. i think meeting Trevor in person would be the only time pissing and/or shitting yourself on the spot would be an acceptable response.

    and here is why.

    i have a total of 8 hours play time.

    36% of it with Micheal

    44% of it with Franklin

    22% of it with Trevor

    given i have mostly done the missions at this point, the kill number talks for itself

    Micheal - 44 kills

    Franklin - 53 kills

    Trevor - 167 kills

  7. it looks like some compaines don't work ingame only.

    if you are connected to the social club you activity effect the stock for everyone else on a day by day basis, ammu-nation is one such business, so as players buying ammo and guns aswell as buying stock and selling stock it effects the global stock market (i.e. everyone who has their internet running and has their account linked to the social club)


  8. The whole training Chop with a real-life App thing pisses me off. I have an Ipad but I don't want to do that. Why couldn't they just do an in-game training system for the dog.

    you do know you can do it ingame aswell right?

    just go into the back garden of franklin's house (as franklin) to the dog kennel, onscreen instruction tell you what to do.

    it not open to you until you have done afew missions though


  9. i do have a small issue with the driving, i love it compared to IV's driving mechanics but for me they now went abit too far to arcade driving, its still fun but there is no longer in any challenge in driving fast, franklins special ability i often find i don't need but dart in and out of traffic isn't that difficult in the first place.

    i would like to see abit of realism in the game from the driving, i'm not after forza motor sport or grand turismo but actualy having to slow down for a corner would be nice.

    it gta though, i don't expect to be able to take 100 shots to the chest and still run away, i don't expect to die after one shot either i want that middle ground.

    the driving in V i can live with, as its enough to do some cool moves to keep thing interesting (driving at 120mph weaving in and out of semi trucks on the highway doesn't get old, even if i do get abit cocky a spin out after clipping a truck, causing a large pile up.


  10. ok i've played it for a fair bit now, won't comment on radios stations, too busy looking around and driving but i have some dislikes about the game now.

    shooting is a pain in the ass, if you come off lock you can't just flick the stick to lock onto the next person, you got to come out of aim and back in which i keep forgetting, resulting in my death.

    jumping in cars is stupid, the in air control level is so high it almost impossible to land badly, i liked the small uncertainty of if i'm going to level the car in time.

    driving is abit arcade style for my liking, would like abit of skill and brakes requirement, bit more realistic acceleration and braking wouldn't hurt either.

    bit lacking in tattoos and hair cut syles, how dlc for it comes out, quite clear the plan to add more guns to the game.

    theres afew other things but i'll see if i get used to them first

    EDIT: actualy, i'm getting rather pissed of about the social club crashing every 5 mins that stops the desktop stat reading, app use and taking photos
