Grand Theft Auto V

heists have been out and pretty fun. to get started (online) you have to be level 15, own a high end luxury apartment, and go talk to lester to start the missions (intro is 2 player flacca) although you will get spam invites to other peoples sessions. Difficulty is a bit all over the map, while none are insanely hard some of them do auto fail if anyone dies or if someone gets detected or can't lose the cops etc, so its easy to fail completely with randoms.

I haven't played much Payday so dunno how it compares but its pretty fun, easy to jump in play for an hour or two do some random crazy shit and have fun

Heist have so many issues on xbl, in 3hours last night i was only able to do 1.

So im curious, everytime i do a part of a heist it just kicks me back out to SP mode? I thought this is multi tiered or some shit.

It's issues with the servers right now. It's supposed to drop you to a lobby with the four people you ran the setup or finale with.

PC trailer, change quality settings from default 480p to 1080p60ps and go fullscreen

playing still on PS4, one of my fav games it really is a masterpiece of attention to detail. Be interesting to see how online goes on PC though, I suspect hacking and cheating will get insane.

I wonder if PC version will let you import from console your characters, I'd love to bring over my level 70 dude when I eventually buy it

Good looking out.

To play with kb/m or 360 controller...hmmm...

Skanda · Apr 7, 2015

I'll probably go with a 360 controller. The problem with KB/M and these games is you don't get that analog control for steering cars like you do with a thumbstick.

PS4 controller! Though will probably try using the mouse for aim while at the shooting gallery.

I am going to triple dip this game. Got it on PS3, something went wrong with save file around 60% through. Didn't start over, but waited for PS4 version. Started that, and loved the first person, but after having seen the ads for the PC version, I figured I would just wait for that, so never even unlocked Trevor on the PS4. Will be great to finally start playing the definitive version of the game.

Yeah the mouse superiority for aiming vs. joystick for driving is what I need to decide on.

Anyone know the min hardware for max graphics? My pc is 3.5 years old now...

Skanda · Apr 7, 2015

Thinking about it I'm wondering if I could set up my x52 for driving while keeping the M/KB for the rest. Guess I'll have to check that out in a week.

I would love if someone would make a dayz type MOD for this game with a persistent server.

Droigan · Apr 10, 2015

Got paycheck today.

Pre-ordered.

My first ever triple dip game. Not even going to read reviews or watch the upcoming PC report from TotalBiscuit. Going full cognitive dissonance mode. PC version is best. Best controls, graphics, FPS, everything. Right off the bat. Will not need patches!

I'm sure you are one of many. They are making so much money off this game it's ridiculous!

That was the plan all along, and in the case of Rockstar milking GTA, I'm actually completely okay with this.

I played it through twice on PS3, skipped it on PS4, but will absolutely play it start to finish again on PC.

Trevor is without a doubt my favorite video game character of all time.

He is the modern Diogenes.

True. So we know there will be a 6th

Yeah, my post was in no way a "hurrr they are ripping everyone off". It's pretty clear that people love their games and are willing to buy it several times. I've held out for the PC version, though I was really close to buying the PS4 one.

GTA5, before PC release, has sold over 45 million copies and has made Rockstar over $3 billion in profit. I doubt the PC version will alter it that much, but still insane.

Exclusive to the PC version is video editing mode which will let you make your own clips with full control of angle etc
GTA 5s PC-exclusive video editor is its killer feature - PC Gamer

I just hope they don't use the video mode to try and squash mods. They've already said mods won't be allowed if it impacts online mode, and imo that is going to be a ball buster if their DRM does file integrity checks and stuff and won't allow file changes.

If the gamepad controls still work like they did on PS3 then a mouse isn't going to be superior for aiming. The autoaim is so strong that you just lock on the target and flick the stick up slightly, instant headshot every time. Playing with a mouse and no autoaim would be adding additional challenge to the game.

Pretty much every sandbox game allows you to set a controller in your lap and pick it up when you get into a vehicle, then switch to m/k when on foot/shooting. I doubt GTA V will be any different.
