Got to Trevors missions last night. I knew people were saying he was crazy but man, what an introduction. Crazy don't quite seem to cover it. he's much worse than I was expecting. Suits the GTA world perfectly though.

There will be times where you will like him because of his honesty and loyalty

So you can create your own Radio Station on the PC

I'm guessing its kinda like the way you could play your own music in certain games back on the original xbox.
Pretty cool, would be nice to have that option on the consoles

I have fond memories of playing Driver on that console with my own sound track. Just driving around the city randomly or doing the missions. Great game as well.

Gotten much better grips with the editor now, haven't played the game properly since yesterday :pac:

That's some quality Bayhem right there.

Missing the low-angle 360 degree shot though.

Stupid question. What's the default key for the horn? Feels like I've tried 'em all twice.

wotzgoingon · 17-04-2015 10:48pm

Anyone else having problems connecting to online, just tried there and got kicked back into single player, was planning on having a few hour session as I have not been online much.

If you find out, please tell my wife

How do you do the business missions? I bought the weed shop and got a text message that they needed to do a run. I don't see anyone in my contacts list related to the shop and when I go to the shop I can't see any way to start the mission.

1huge1 · 18-04-2015 11:30am

Silly question but how do you fly using the keyboard, I broke into the airport and got 3 stars police after me, I steal a plane and go down the runway but I am not able to get it off the ground

You have to use 8,5,4,6 on the number pad and A,D for flight controls. Really wish you could use a joystick

Headshot · 18-04-2015 11:42am

Im just using my xbox controller for the flying. Its very hard with the keyboard

There should be a marker appearing on your map after you get the text, like a letter 'P' or something. You go there to trigger the mission.

Anyone having issues finding a GTA Online session with a good few other people? Every session I join has either just me, or two or three others.

wotzgoingon · 18-04-2015 9:58pm

I tried a few times to play online. Keep getting kicked back to single player.

EITS · 18-04-2015 9:59pm

It keeps saying I haven't done the tutorial anytime I try and join anyone's game

I think you have to play one or two missions of single player first. Did you do that?

Must be something wrong so, I couldn't get in last night or tonight, mind you I didn't try very long as the wait times in GTA online are terrible, and I haven't the patience to just sit there looking at different pictures while it loads and then get kicked back to single player to try again.

Calvin · 18-04-2015 11:23pm

How are you guys finding GTA V so far? Is it worth getting? I've already had it for both PS3 and PS4. If greenmangaming code still works, I can get it for around €45.

1huge1 · 18-04-2015 11:25pm

Its a great game and they really did a good port for the PC, but I honestly couldn't justify buying the same game twice, let alone for a third time.

Your call

I'm curious as to the overall view as well. From the sound of things it seems to be working very well with no major bugs.

/EDIT just to say as well, I'm a pure pc player so don't have it on any other format l.

Wouldn't bother getting it again. I had it on Xbox 360 but had never played online, so got it again on PC. It ain't that great online, I keep getting kicked back to single player. I played some missions in single player but I don't think I will bother playing the whole thing again. About getting kicked back to single player, I was trying at evening time on a Friday and Saturday night so they would be classed as busy times. I did play it in the early hours 1am to 3am of a week night and had no problems.

Calvin · 19-04-2015 12:16am

I was thinking of getting it just cos all of my friends are playing it constantly on PC :P will see if it lasts for the next few weeks and decide then. Also want to wait for mods to come out

I was actually playing it after I wrote that last post till now and it is actually quite fun believe it or not(when it works) I was still thinking when I wrote that post of earlier in the night when I couldn't get online.

Mr. CooL ICE · 21-04-2015 11:17am

The night time rain in the city are the best graphics I've ever seen in any game. Holy crap.

Spear · 21-04-2015 12:02pm

After an initially lukewarm response from me, I've warmed to it more once I go to the Trevor missions....

But it still strikes me that there's a weird mix of excellent attention to detail and polish, combined with extremely rough edges. This is the same game that has utter trash aircraft and helicopter controls, yet has touches such as the rumble strips on the median and hard shoulders actually working.

I was thinking the same, incredible, I seen it for the first time last night in the mission where Trevor burns the caravans and goes to Los Santos.

Dcully · 22-04-2015 11:50am

Annoying bug just now, when back and forth between mouse&keyboard for normal play and shooting to gamepad for driving controls on both are messed up,were fine yesterday.

So, I'm slightly behind all you folks, but have eventually got it and am pleasantly surprised at how smooth it runs on my 2011 system, and that is without having to overclock CPU or GPU. I had read that 1GB cards are limited in resolution, but saw that you can overrule that rule. Currently on 1600x900 with most setting on high. The benchmark states I am getting a solid 30 FPS, but gameplay is perfectly smooth. Happy days.

Really? I've found that if the game drops below 60FPS it gets very jerky. This isn't some 60FPS master race bullshít either. Even in the 50s it looks very jumpy and weird. I've played other games at around 30FPS that look smoother than this at 59FPS. I assumed that's just the way the game was and accepted it but I guess not. Must figure out what's causing it.

Yeah, smooth as melted butter tbh. I'm not big into monitoring fps, but only commented due to the inbuilt indicator during the benchmarking. It stuck at 30 and would dip to 27/28 as the scene switched, then back to 30, but never higher. Googling found the below link, interesting in that my screen is also set to 60 hz
