Grand Theft Auto V

The minute amount of little details they added to this one is outstanding. There are a lot of things that aren't noticed unless somebody is paying attention to it, and I'm not just talking about the scenery.

I'm on my 2nd playthrough.
 
I only notice the cars disappearing when I park them in the garages attached to the character's house, NOT the extra 4-car garages scattered around LS. And even then, you can usually find the lost vehicle at the police impound. Haven't noticed anything with regards to upgrades being lost when recovering a vehicle.

As long as there's no micros in terms of being able to access actual content... I don't really care if some people want to ruin the entire point of the game by just buying their way towards the spoils.

This. I was doing hunting missions as Trevor, and I accidentally sent the cell phone pics of my kills to random people on my contacts list. They promptly responded with "Seriously Trevor, WTF?!"... The fact that the devs thought that far ahead and accounted for the human player making an insignificant mistake in one of the game's numerous, seemingly tiny mini games just makes me appreciate their work and attention to detail that much more.
 
I had a marathon session over the weekend and finished the main story. It's the best GTA yet in my opinion.

Is anybody else impressed by the draw distance in this game? It seems you can see the landscape out for miles.

Also for the little details, I'm amazed they were able to keep continuity as strait as they did, and all the little interactions between everybody and all the other characters in the game making sense. It was probably a staggering challenge organizing and programing it. I also like switching the characters and seeing what they are getting themselves into when it zooms on them. Another thing I noticed when switching characters did anybody else notice they travel and about the logical distance from their last location depending on how long the player has been away from them, they will often even be in the same vehicle you last left them with?

Up to $900m after I had bought a property worth $30m, which bumped me down from 1.2b.

I was finally able to start playing this game yesterday.

So far I've only wrecked my car tons of times, I noticed it is somehow magically repaired when you log off and on so that's a good thing for me!
And I need to get used to shooting with a controller (I'm more a mouse and keyboard person when it comes to that) but thank god for aim assist!

I was only able to play for 1,5 hour so I have not seen much but I'm looking forward to exploring everything.
And I need to dive into that whole stock exchange thing, seems to be the easiest way to earn a decent amount of money early in the game?

I had beaten the game and decided to buy up some of the properties that I haven't gotten yet. I just bought a marina slip with Franklin, got into a random jeep and started to drive off when I decided to go to switch to Trevor and get him a marina slip. Just as I got to the marina with Trevor, I passed Franklin who was still driving the random jeep. He got out of the jeep and started talking to Trevor about getting a drink or something and then I proceeded to hang out with Franklin. I didn't even know the characters could just run into each other like that when it's not a mission because of how big the map is. The little things...

damn.how the hell did you get that much? I dont even have a billion between all 3 of their money combine
 
If you save all of Lester's assassination missions until after the story missions and you get the big payoff you can really manipulate the stock market on your favor because you will have over 30 million to work with from the begging of the assassination missions.

Of course I figured that out after I finished the game and did all of Lester's missions when they came up.

As a general rule for all GTAs I never get too attached to a vehicle I'm driving as I know it's so easy to wreck them or have to jump out for some mission or something else. Still I'm happy that they do a better job of there being a convenient one to jump into most of the time. I also like how the one you drive around has a way of following you to places when you switch over or come back from a mission.

Franklin made about 385 million with those missions

You can also switch to the other characters before the mission and get them in on it also if you know it's coming. Other than the first one you need to do to advance the game it pays to save those mission until the end. Not that all the money will really matter that much once you buy all the properties and vehicles you want. Unless they add something later or there is stuff I don't know about it will make for more than enough money.

I'm still a little upset I only made five figure returns on them instead of the potential hundreds of millions if you play it right. I don't know because I haven't tested it out, but I also wonder if save scumming would help on the stock market aspect of the game.

that explains it cause I did all of Lester's missions before hand.I started with the stock market today only invested about 100k if that though,probably should do alittle more.My Franklin,Trev and Mike have about 20mil each
 
Someone sent me a message over PSN to tell me that I have a bounty of $10,000 on my head in GTA Online. Must be true because everybody and their mama is after me. I've spent most of the game today inside my garage with people outside buzzing to get in lol.
 
So the online is fucking awesome now that it's actually working. R* posted on Facebook that they're going to give everyone who played in October $500,000 GTAO dollars for being patient while they ironed out all the problems, which is funny because if you follow their support page on twitter, pretty much everyone acted like a bitchy, entitled asshole when they couldn't get the game to work.
 
Just finished single player. Thankfully the game continues.

Trevor walks into his trailer to hear a familiar voice and we get a shot of some elderly cleavage. I shut it off before the reveal.

To be continued ...

Half of which we were supposed to receive with yesterday's update.
