I haven't played a console game in 3 years and I caved for this game. I cannot for the life of me figure out how people aim with these fucking controllers with any degree of precision. The shooting range stuff is ridiculous. I could gold all this shit with a mouse and keyboard without even trying, and I can barely bronze some of them with a controller. I've tried messing with the sensitivity and can't find anything that feels right. Oh well.

Honestly you just have to get used to it. I've been playing fps with m/k for like 20 years now, and I raged at the screen when I first bought my PS3 and was playing Uncharted on it and couldn't hit a fucking thing, and now 4 years later I can easily get gold on all the challenges in this game. About the only advice I can give is to only tilt the right stick a very small amount. Don't try to rush it--they give you plenty of time for gold on all of them, but you need to hit yellow the vast majority of the time and you cannot drop your multiplier bonus at all--take your time and only pull the trigger when you're dead on target.

FPS Freeks really do help too. I've been too lazy/cheap to buy them for my own DS3, but I've tried them out before and they make a difference in precision.

One of the webpages ingame has a bunch of listings for houses supposedly for sale but i don't see any means to buy them, is that unlocked later in the game?

I am terrible at controller play

feels bad man. I'm especially terrible at the driving and shooting.

Game is gorgeous though. I haven't played a GTA since SA. Is CJ's house in game?

Is there any way to change your reticle color to make it easier to see? I haven't found an option for that yet.

The into mission where you are shooting out in the snowy countryside when the bank heist goes bad was RIDICULOUSLY hard, because the little white reticule looked exactly like the other 10,000 snowflakes falling on the screen. I need a goddamn crosshair, this little pinpoint dot isn't cutting it.

I think the radio stations are the most realistic part of the game, just like reality, there is nothing ever on you want to listen to.

game is... ok and boring and slow and controls feel sluggish.
Of course i'm biased, i just finished saints row4, while saints row started out as a gta clone, i think it's so far, far better, you know how? i couldn't put down saints row 4, so far with gta, i've easily just said, eh i'll play it whenever. fcking game is archaic, plus i don't know what to do! do i make friends on my cell phone? this is why i gave up on gta4.

look i know saints row4 has become cartoony, but i guess i just want to play a game and have fun, saints row really is openworld, with gta5, i'm playing a black thug, who says the same 4 lines to get the stripper girls to like him.

If you're having trouble with aiming against enemies just unclick and re-click ADS after each kill and he'll auto target the next enemy that's in your fov, you can get really fast at it and just mow through people but you won't get those coveted head shots.


Seriously though fuck that tiny ass WHITE reticle, wtf were they thinking?

So, GTAV online will be available the beginning of October. With that in mind, let's share some PSN & Xbox Live ID's.

I only have PSN, and I'm Xarpolis over there.
Friend me.

For those who have trouble driving cars and bikes, try pushing up on the left stick while you steer. You have much more control over tiny changes of direction, just like in RDR.

Saw this tweet today and I'll just leave it right here.

It's hard to believe that #GTAV is based in Los Angeles when none of the characters have a podcast

of all fucking missions for the game to fail loading after, has to be the second heist with its half hour of driving and flying.

Are you guys playing a different game than me? While the game is mega fun, I don't see how anyone could call these textures and aliased models great looking.

I don't get how you wouldn't think it looks great. It's a beautiful game.

Aiming with the tiny white dot is most annoying when driving. I didn't even know it was there for the first 3 times I tried the beginning mission when you get your boat back.

PSN: Tarrant220 for those that want to play online when its up and running.
