GTA V - Arrrgghh's!!

DEFTLEFTHAND · 05-10-2013 11:03am

Does anyone else find this kind of a letdown? Sh1t driving, Sh1t story, 3 unlikeable characters, Crap radio. Police are too full on, the Map is nothing to write home about, (lies from Rockstar). The much hyped varied wildlife and eco system is non existent, I was expecting something similar to RDR levels.

Once you finish it there's nothing to do. Online the same aul bullsh1t.

Happy with the purchase are we.....:D

Take a look on youtube at previous GTA games....this title has come so far its unreal. Its not perfect but its class.....they could have raped us with one playable char and sold the others like DLC. Trevors missions alone I would have bought ten times over if it was separate.

Hopefully they release the next GTA with just all Trevor, that lad would make the Jeremy Kyle show look like little house on the Prairie!!!

Give me Niko Bellic and Liberty City any day. A great story and gritty realism. I thought that was the way Rockstar were moving, not back to this Juvenile 'catch all' format.

Wonda-Boy · 05-10-2013 11:54am

The only thing I would have loved is Ray Liotta and others back doing voices....it was simply brilliant in Vice City.

gnfnrhead · 05-10-2013 12:48pm

In regards the ending:

What did you think kill Michael meant? It is pretty self explanatory.

Niko's story wasn't up to much. You needed both DLC's to move it ahead of SA.

The driving is vastly improved, you no longer have to spend hours practicing to be able to turn without plowing into a wall.

All the characters are likable in their own way. Franklin looked like a typical gang banger so I didn't expect to like him, but even he is likable.

Map is fine. I'd have liked another big-ish city somewhere but it isn't a deal breaker.

The much varied wildlife is there. I've seen a tonne of different animals. Saw my first cow yesterday when I thought I had seen everything.

The only valid complaint is radio, but that is largely a matter of taste. Really, it just seems like you are complaining about everything you can think of for the sake of it.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 05-10-2013 2:02pm

Niko's story was excellent, the immigrant arriving into NYC starts off at the low level and ascends the ladder to work with the Mafia.. who he despises, All the time we're teased with the folk who he has come to look for. You felt sorry for him at the back of it all, they made him human.

Once you got the knack of the driving it was very rewarding. There was actual effort in it.

Captain Chaos · 05-10-2013 2:07pm

The driving in 4 is far, far better than the driving in 5. The radio and driving are the biggest let downs in 5. Most of the time now I leave the radio off because it annoys the sh1t out of me having to change around to listen to something decent all the time. That and the police are way to full on in this, in 4 you could toy around with them for a bit but in this you have to be one your toes from 2 stars and up.

ThirdMan · 05-10-2013 2:11pm

Still not being able to afford a copy.

sean1141 · 05-10-2013 2:20pm

I thought the story was a bit of a let down. The 3 characters are poor enough and the side missions are crap most of the time.

The detail in the game is great though but I think it was hyped up about doing these big hists but there are only a few. Michael is the only half decent character as as the story went on I found my self shouting at the tv for Trevor to shut up. I never took to him at all even though some of his lines are funny

Niko was an annoying crybaby. Only CJ was less likable than him. I never once felt sorry for him. I instead felt sorry for Roman having to put up with his crap.

The driving was awful. Something so basic shouldn't require a "knack" to it. If that's what you want, I'm sure you can find a real world driving game to satisfy your needs.

Captain Chaos · 05-10-2013 2:46pm

There was no knack to driving, it was simple physics and a very good one they put into the game. In GTAV the cars have no "weight" to them and can turn on the spot regardless of speed, it's like they are not connected to the road and rotate around a pole through the centre of them.

Two things, trying to earn money and the damn lions that attack you when your hunting, instant kill means -$5000...

jill_valentine · 05-10-2013 5:20pm

The goddamn Hen House missions. I've never been able to finish a single one.

get on top of the RV/Car

gnfnrhead · 05-10-2013 6:28pm

Got my first two legit Arrrgghh's today:

1.

How in the name of fcuk do I get that? Lost about 10 choppers trying, keep missing with my parachute attempts and it cant be climbed. It's the only one I'm missing

2.

Was hoping it would only be exclusive for a while, but it looks like being permanent.

Swap to the pistol or something. They autoaim and only need one shot.

Kxiii · 05-10-2013 6:40pm

You need to almost park the chopper on the arch and then jump out on to it. You will lose the chopper but should get the part.

Try using the buzzard instead of the maverick.

That's what I thought alright, but can never get it in all the way (now now :pac:) before it blows up. I've been using whatever helicopter I could find but I'll try find a buzzard instead.

Also don't try to land it in the middle gap (where the chopper looks to be heading in the picture).Try where the piece is there is a little bit more room.

Was working for me earlier today, but prior to that it was like someone in Rockstar plugged it out and forgot to plug it back in.

gnfnrhead · 06-10-2013 10:59pm

Just found out that the random event "Simeon Yetarian" is locked once you get Trevor. It isnt needed for 100% but I planned on doing everything :mad:

Vincent Vega · 07-10-2013 12:38am

Yes, you're right. I do mean xBox Live password. Still no joy, but over it now.

who_me · 14-10-2013 9:20pm

Two in the same mission.

1) Driving out to Sonora desert, only to be told Michael is wearing the wrong clothes. Have to go back to LS, change, then back again to the desert. Aaaaagh.
2) Running around the desert for many, many minutes, then suddenly I've left the required area and have to start from scratch. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh.

What mission is this ?

My name is URL · 14-10-2013 9:29pm

Walk 5 miles in the desert?.. ain't nobody got time for that

Yet another use for duct tape!

gnfnrhead · 14-10-2013 10:11pm

Sellotape did the job for me.

Took me two attempts also, as I didnt realise it had to be done in the one go.

EdenHazard · 15-10-2013 3:36pm

Plays the game for 5 mins, gets massive gaff in Hollywood. Why this game sucks so bad.

In Michael's Epsilon missions.

dreamers75 · 18-10-2013 12:18am

Modding cars arrghhhh!!!

Whats the point of the stat bars? They are not relevant at all.

Car A has 3.1 accell and 2 speed

Car B has 3.1 accell and 2 speed

But car B is an Entity XF and Car A is my modded feltzer which gets blown away by a car with the same stats. The bars are relevant to the car only and not a measure vs other cars which is a bit stupid.

spent the last 2 days looking for the 26th nuclear barrel,have used all the youtube guides still cant find it

The sonar tells you if its higher or lower than you. Other than the sub being poxy to handle, they've all been fairly easy for me thus far.

firestarter51 · 19-10-2013 1:38pm

I agree the sub is a nightmare and really slow, but the parts were fun to find, you think your close and it in a cave below, the ones on the boat were tricky, still fairly easy, i need to get the scraps of paper now :-(

jebus84 · 19-10-2013 2:38pm

stayed up til 3 getting that last barrel,couldnt sleep,when it come to games likes this and assassins creed i love collecting everything and in video games i have severe OCD

Switching to Trevor and him waking up at the top of a mountain, with no transportation nearby, and wearing a dress!!

Having to play with that Franklin fúcker reminds me why i stopped playing SA.

Thanks internet stranger.

J. Marston · 20-10-2013 8:57pm

Yeah, I think they went a bit overboard on the "nigga" usage. Didn't offend me or anything, it just got annoying listening to it every couple of seconds when Franklin and Lamar were talking.

One of the reasons that SA ranks below GTA 3, 5, and vice city for me also.
