I'm at about 45% complete right now and my major gripe is the weak story. My favorite part is starting from nothing and watch as your power builds. I feel like as soon as you open up trevor (cool character aside) its all down hill.

And thanks for that i realized my shit head kid stole my car.

I definitely noticed that acceleration was trivial to max the bar on, and that the braking bar barely moves even if you buy the best brakes. I'm inclined to agree that top speed is not moddable; I have a fully maxed out Sultan RS and while the acceleration is very good, the top speed feels the same as it did when stock. I don't think suspension mods do anything at all either, besides a cosmetic change to the ride height.

Rockstar needs to work on a vehicle patch badly. Everything about the cars, aside from making the physics more like Saints Row being a massive improvement over GTA IV, is a clusterfuck. At least they've acknowledged that the storage system is broken, but that's just one of the many problems.

Yeah, I hope there's a big patch that fixes all the vehicle crap when the Online mode is launched. Looks like for now the Entity is the "best" car, though there's not much difference between any of the Supers and some of the higher end Sports.

Heh, Franklin's Charger is 8/3/7/7.5 and Michael's Audi is 8/3/5/8 and you can easily max acceleration on both (3rd number), definitely no real reason to use other cars since nothing saves properly.

The Entity (Koenigsegg CC) is 8.5/3/8/8.5 in comparison, so it's got a little higher top speed and grips a little better, but it's a bitch to actually keep the non-personal cars around.

Coil Voltic is my favorite, but I guess I'm biased. For real world cars, I love the Lotus Exige, and the Telsa Roadster is a decent enough substitute.

It's annoying though--I used a Coil constantly for the Michael/Franklin part of the game, but I haven't seen one on the road even once since Trevor showed up, and of course all the ones I had collected have been eaten by the game by now.

Every game's story is standalone. There might be a bit of fan service by referencing other games/characters, but nothing you'd notice not having played the others.

Heh, there must be like, hardly anyone doing the races. I just set a few records on the offroad tracks and I am not very good at racing anything.

Also getting gold on all of the races is retardedly easy, especially the jetski ones.

The third Triathalon was fucking 28 minutes long. God help you if you do not gold that on your first try. That was boring and painful.

I haven't been able to connect to their network at all and I believe a bunch of other people are having the same problem. I like the driving in this game though, it certainly feels nice. Also not that it matters entirely too much because your characters change clothes often, but the customization in this game is pretty damn good.

There are no leaderboards right now so you're probably beating the default world record time.

Online needs to come faster! I'm shelving this until then.

Was not expecting this after the 2nd race, and it was certainly not worth the half hour of spamming the sprint button.

Have any of you bought the digital version from the Playstation Network? I've heard it has the same pop-in/lag issues as the 360 version when the play disc is installed on the hdd. Have some PSN credit I would like to use to make the game cheaper, but not if it will have poor performance issues.

No idea what the pop-in/lag issues are, but I have noticed zero issues with my digital download version off PS3.

slow texture load and much more noticeable pop-in are why Rockstar cautioned 360 owners not to install the play disc to the hdd. Had heard it affected the digital version on the PS3 since it would also do 100% of it's accessing from the hdd.

I haven't seen lag but have had some texture pop in on the psn version. Pop in is noticeable but rarely happens to me. Seen it twice I think?
