Clueless Gamer: Conan Reviews "Grand Theft Auto V" @ TeamCoco.com

I caved. :P Gamestop was sold out, so no points for me. Got it at Target instead and they only had 3 copies left.

[Izulde]

So I stole a mass transit bus but it won't fit in my garage as Lamar. Is there a place I can park it? I really like this bus.

[Izulde]

I found the strip club by complete accident (thought it was a shoe store from the icon and wanted to get some new kicks) and have deduced that there are apparently only some strippers who will sleep with you.

For example, Cheetah would not sleep with Franklin or with Michael so far. Haven't gotten Toby so I don't know if he'd score with her.

There;s a bigger garage you can buy, It comes with the special edition, I'm not sure if it would fit in there tho.

$30K price tag.

It would be awesome if their willingness to sleep with you was determined by some behind-the-scenes in game mechanic.

Man - you guys are romping through this. I only just reached Trevor this afternoon, and still haven't finished his intro missions (at the O'Neil farm now).

Finally had some time where I could try the game.

HOLY S***!!!!

Have only just begun but it is a major surprise so far. No way in hell I can play this with the kids up so that cuts down my play time drastically.

[tucker rocky]

I have read where there have been installation problems, storage errors, and whatnot.

I have a black fatty Xbox 360 Elite, with 120HDD, that is roughly 6+ yrs old.

The recommendations that I have read on the interwebs, indicate that I need to purchase a USB 2.0 , place "install" disk on USB, then install "play" disk onto the HDD.

Which brands, specs for a USB will I be looking for?
Are there any foolproof install theories?

You just need to link your online id with a rockstar social club account to get the garages free.

I meant to do this yesterday, then I got sidetracked. Haha.

I've had zero issues with just doing what Rockstar wanted me to do. I installed the install disc and play the play disk without installing it. No problems on my end. Well, I have problems with Subway, but that is another story.

[PurdueBrad]

Yeah, I have the 360, did the install disc only on the hdd and use the play disc w/ no problems either.

[MizzouRah]

Well well.. check the mailbox and my game must have come in yesterday!!!

Tonight will be a good night!

[Buccaneer]

I've been watching theRadBrad's LP on the tube for the past couple of hours. Up to part 7 and it's fun to watch. It still would prefer the atmosphere of 1940s/1950s Mafia 2 as oppose to modern day LA but it's an amazingly huge detailed world they built.

It's only natural to prefer to see the era of your teen years...

No, I don't think that's what you want to do. The recommendation is to install the "install disk" and not do anything with the "play disk".

[Buccaneer]

Got up to Part 20. Simply awesome.

[korme]

I'm on the 57th of 69 main missions right now. Sad that I'm almost to the end of the story.

Geez man...take your time!!!

[Izulde]

The loglines thing on the Internet is hysterical.

[MizzouRah]

Dabbled a bit this morning.. fantastic thus far.

[Izulde]

I hit my first PS3 bug:

Question: Grand Theft Auto V freezes on a load screen when I try to replay a mission. Is this a known issue?

Answer: This issue can occur either during a mission replay of “The Jewel Store job prep” or when retrying the mission after failing when acquiring the pest control van. A possible workaround at this stage would be avoid failing the mission at this particular point or to attempt this mission during the day, as it is possible the issue is caused by a scenario scripted to happen at night time.

Eh, I don't know I'd say that. Aside from not letting people know that there could be issues with a download copy due to the game needing to read from 2 sources I don't know what they really could have done. They needed to get everything they could out of 7 year old systems to get the game to look like it does and it still has performance issues.

[Buccaneer]

Not ever having any consoles, I am amazed in watching the YouTube LP at how much they were able to squeeze out of the dated graphics engine. Performance and details look great for such a large map.

When I got to the Trevor missions in the LP, I was blown away by the landscape - a jarring switch from LA. It is a landscape I'm familiar with from places in antelope valley and Mojave.

So far it's been just like watching a 8 hour movie.

Interestingly enough, this situation could have been a selling point for MS and their new console had they stuck with their original plan to have all games installed on hard drive. They could point to this situation (wrong or right) and say, "See, when you have a game that is optimized for disc yet allows the user to install to the HD, this is what happens. We wanted to do hard drive only to remove this issue, but people complained about it."

On the other side, some may say that the issues with performance on hard drive installs indicate that the decision by both companies to stay with disc-based games was a good one. Only time will tell.

I was in the strip club and got a double dance, and somehow things f'd up, the bouncers came to toss me out and i couldn't get out of the chair. I ended up pulling my gun and shooting the 2 bouncers and eventually the cops came and killed me.

the bouncer will come in and out of view. make sure your only handling the chicks when hes out of view and cant see you.

no nothing i add about the bug, only a tip to fondling the strippers

[RainMaker]

I find it impressive how much they were able to get out of 7 year old machines. I've noticed some minor issues, but nothing big or game breaking.

[RainMaker]

I don't want to knock the game because it's incredibly fun. But I'm still a little disappointed that the AI is essentially the same from 10 years ago. Bump into someone on the street and she runs off screaming. Wish the NPCs had more varied AI.

Me too.. the world is impressive.

[Neon_Chaos]

Goddamn this story is impressive. Gonna be sad to end the campaign.

Rockstar advises GTA5 players avoid garages until a bug is fixed • News • PlayStation 3 • Eurogamer.net

[Marmel]

Assuming the garage bug gets fixed, when I store a car in a garage, then later take it out for a joyride and it gets blown up or I just abandon it, does it respawn in the garage?

[Izulde]

Not sure on the blowup, but if you abandon it, it goes to the police impound lot and you have to pay to get it out. I did that with a sports car and had to pay $250 to get it out.

[Izulde]

And I thought there was a bug now that I think about it. My lime green car disappeared from Michael's house, as did this really cool sports car in Franklin's house that I haven't been able to find a replacement for since then.

[Neon_Chaos]

Had a day off today. Finished the story missions. Great game. Kudos to rockstar. Now, on to doing the rest of the stuff in Los Santos.

[Marmel]

Just met Trevor last night. I knew he was going to be a crazy mofo, but damn! He had my wife and I laughing all night. I really came to realize how bad I suck at modern video games. It took me just over an hour to fly that damn plane, make the drop in the water and then land on that tiny little airstrip. The good thing about sucking at this game is that I have weeks of gameplay ahead of me still because it takes me a while to get through each storyline mission. Plus I like to spend a lot of time just doing my own things (murder, mayhem, blowing wads of money at the strip joint, etc)

Took me like 4-5 times with the plane landing too, so don't feel alone!

[JonInMiddleGA]

Stupid question (although Googling did turn up at least one other person with the same problem - unanswered) ...

how the fuck do you turn up the in-game TV volume (on 360)? The help icon sorta kinda looks like LS up but that doesn't seem to do anything

[Neon_Chaos]

The TV max volume isnt that loud. You probably hit the max. You shod hear ticks when you move it down/up. No ticks if maxed.

[Neon_Chaos]

Gta online goes live in < 12 hours. Woowoo. Server congestion!

Cant wait! Should we form a FOFC crew?

You on PS3? add me up. Neonchaos on psn and rockstar social.

Dang, Xbox here.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Anybody having any luck getting to actually play the multiplayer? So far, son has had one corrupted character save (online), one mission that failed to load, nothing but server timeouts since then.

I finally got in, after trying off and on since the servers went live this morning. Played for a couple hours and did a few missions.
