Grand Theft Auto V

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

Probably the most hyped I've been for a video game since Halo 3.

Not too worried about the online release being two weeks later, as I'd much rather use that time to get familiar with the world and beat single player anyway.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

Can't even describe how mind blown I was when this game dropped. At the time, it as by far the most innovative game I'd ever played.

New Info regarding GTA Online.

Spoiler

General:

• The aim of GTA Online is to do whatever it takes to get more money in the bank and accrue assets such as cars and real estate.
• Almost all activities from the campaign are available in GTA online: "heists, missions, robberies, assaulting gang hideouts, hijacking armored vehicles, races" as well as "tennis, golf and base jumping."
• GTA Online has been created to be "as customisable as possible" in terms of who you play with: "there are options to let the game decide who to play with... or you can hand pick every player in the game".
• Purchases can still be made using the money even if it's in the bank.
• Each house you pruchase has space for storing cars. Modest appartments have space for two, but high-end homes can store ten.
• Garage areas can be treated like showrooms. You can walk around and admire your cars and hire a mechanic to keep them in good condition. You can also insure them to avoid big payouts should you damage them badly.
• Phone cameras can be used to take a selfie.

Character:

• The fourth [GTA Online] player is fresh off a plane in Los Santos, character creation involves choosing your mother, father and grandparents and you're given a character. Then players then choose a lifestyle, make choices about the things the character does (partying, couch potato, criminal, athletics nut).
• Characters appear in cutscenes when interacting with other characters in the world as they would in the single-player but doesn't speak.
• Female characters can be used in GTA Online.
• Starting skills are based on the chosen lifestyles, but can be upgraded, as can the look of the character.
• Holding the Select/Back button pulls up a menu where outfits and gestures can be changed.

Story:

• GTA Online takes place after the main story, familiar faces will make appearances By currying favour of characters you can be introduced to more people and delve deeper into the criminal world.
• Franklin's friend Lamar may introduce you to a car dealer named Simeon Yetarian, who wants you to steal cars for him.
• A tech-savvy character you've befriended may hide you on the radar during multiplayer.
• Security firms that have taken a liking to you may be used to deliver airstrikes.
• Biker gangs may support you during missions if you're friendly with them.

Missions:

• After each GTA Online mission the crew leader decides who keeps the loot.
• A leader can choose to hog the spoils but, obviously, other players might not take that very well.
• In missions involving bigger teams a lobby window opens up. From this the roles such as sniper, look-out and transporter can be assigned. The crew leader can tweak settings such as time of day, weather, difficulty and how many lives they have to complete the mission.
• Everyone is given priorities suited to their role when missions begin.
• Some missions involve multiple phases, including a set-up phase. In the mission shown prep involved buying guns from Ammu-Nation and procuring a helicopter. The tasks can be split between players.
• When you have enough cash to purchase a "high end residency" you gain the ability to set up heists like the ones in the solo campaign.
• Missions are controlled through Rockstar's Social Club, which means the developer will be able to tweak them regularly.

Multiplayer:

• There's a crew ranking system [as well as a personal rank.]
• Players riding shotgun in cars can control radio stations, set waypoints, use a cinematic camera, or attack others.
• Passive mode can be activated if you want to enjoy Online without being troubled by other players, this is automatically deactivated when you fire your gun however. You can invite friends to your home and drink, call strippers, and watch Rockstar's custom created TV shows (or your friends in high-speed chases).

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

I ended up getting scheduled for the 17th and 18th, but I pulled a few strings and got the 17th off. I now work Thursday-Sunday, which will help the days go by faster.

Monday I'll get caught up on all my school work and get that done, I don't think I'm going to bed until I pass out from exhaustion Tuesday night.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

I'm hype but I'm also upset that we have to wait additional 2 weeks to play online

2 weeks of enjoying a beautiful game in single player.
2 weeks of playing a game at my own pace.
2 weeks without annoying "wanna play" messages

I'm excited and all for online, but man there's something about being alone in sandbox type games.

Graphics are sick in this game, by far the best they've ever been and I don't mean by GTA standards. GTA has never been the best looking game, but looks like this game can hold it's own against the best looking game on PS3 and 360.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

honestly, i think 2 weeks is too short to launch the online portion. i remember when i got GTA 4 upon release and it took me at least a month to beat it (and thats just the story) and that was me playing at least an hour damn near everyday.

i want savor and cherish every moment of this game and i will not rush myself. i highly doubt ill be done by Oct 1st so i may not touch the multiplayer until mid-october. or at least ill try my best not to touch it until im done with the single player.
