    Finished the single player, forgot how brilliant some of the levels were, such an improvement over the GTA 4 missions. However, A lot of the bad guys were so generic, I couldn't tell the difference between the fbi contact guy, his crazy partner and rich white dude.

    So, story done, when I'm not online (if I know I don't have enough time for a good session, apologies if I don't join any invites), I'm gonna go for the collectibles and 100% to get that special hunting mission at the end. Gonna go do the assination missions now and make a ton of money for the 3 lads. If I buy a helicopter, can i call it in at anytime or do i have to go to a location like airfield, airport, marina, etc?

    You need to buy a Helipad and park it there like a car and a garage

    Ah yeah, I remember in the last one buying the marina helipad with Frank. Pity you can't have one delivered to you, wish the same for cars really in single player.

    Devin is some gowl, just sayin.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,692 ✭✭✭marcbrophy


    Devin is some character though!
    He epitomises the boss figure in any GTA game.
    Puts you in your place, always treats you like shít whilst avoiding any of the grunt work himself.
    But if I could sum him up in one word, it would definitely be GOWL! :D

    Since getting the game I've mostly been playing online, never gave the online a bash even when I had it on PS3.

    Is the story mode really worth playing again? :-/

    Yes 110%.

    I've 2.147 billion dolla on each of the 3 main characters now :P

    Game wouldn't allow me to have any more than that for some reason, mike should have had 2.6 but it limited him to the same amount Frank has, ditto for Trev.

    It uses a 32 bit integer similar to what YouTube used up until last week when PSY's Gangnam style broke it :P

    Unless there's a fault, you can bring your character over. I did it from 360 to PS4 on day 1 :)

    Frankie5Angels right. Everything you need to know about it here:

    One thing I would say, though, is not to transfer your R* account from 360 to PS4 on the Social Club website. I did that and when I went to link it in-game it said there was nothing there. So I switched it back to 360 on the website and made the switch in-game on the PS4 and there was Frankie and all his money, cars and apartments. :)

    problem is i was playing GTA V on my gf's Xbox 360 but it didnt have gold or connection to online modes. so no social club connected to the game.

    however i do have a social club through my old ps3 i made.

    Ohh i went from X360 to PS4 and got this, it's nothing special really


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,839 ✭✭✭Randomfriend


    Just noticed the Jewlery heist trophy never unlocked for me, have tried replaying it, no luck.
    Anyone else have that?

    My submarine has also disappeared. Any advice on where I can find a new one handy?

    Enjoying the game

    bought it previously for the xbox but sold it after 2 days as I knew Id get a ps4 in time and knew I would be spending it again on the same game

    If I had kept it and played it on the xbox enough times I would be severely let down by it on the next gen

    I don't notice a single difference, other than a few added blades of grass and the odd deer running around the road side

    graphics are literally the same

    same with all games really on the next gen, little to no difference between them and the last 10 year old consoles

    bit of a farce really

    I have to ask, as I've seen a few people saying this, what kind of TV do you have?

    well, if you're wearing glasses that are smeared with vaseline, then I'd agree they're very similar.

    try having a look in the shop windows, all the signs can now be read, the roads have texture and potholes that hold water, every vehicle has a dashboard, a full first person view has been added, and the list goes on and on.

    I'm confused, is it the saved game for SP you were speaking about in your original post or the Online character save?

    I have a 1080 sony bravia

    yes pot holes, roads have puddles

    but yeah, my point remains largely the same

    I like the game. Id just be pretty let down if I upgraded it from the last gen to this

    70e to drive through puddles -yippee :eek:

    Am I crazy or has there been new guns added?

    I don't remember the musket or the marksman rifle in the old gen version

    Fair enough, you should be able to see a difference then, I know that I can. :)

    I'm not discounting your opinion, but your memories of the xbox 360 version have to be a year old. You sure you're not just remembering it as being better looking than it was? :D

    Either way, as long as you are enjoying it, you should keep playing. Great game!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,902 ✭✭✭power pants


    That is a very valid point to be fair. I probably didn't play it nearly enough on the xbox 360 when I think about it.

    Think I played it 3x time in total

    Well I suppose value is subjective really so isn't it? I dont really play my 360 any more, but there are games I didnt get to finish or whatever, and now I'll probably never go back to. I'd be delighted to have the option of playing them on my xbox one.


    so when I was presented the chance to replay an upscaled and improved version of one of the greatest achievements in open world gaming, with increased player counts in online multiplayer and all the other additions, it was a no-brainer.

    Not necessarily. 1080 sony bravia isn't exacted a detailed description of his tv. There is multiple factors in relation to image quality and it differs from one tv to another.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,902 ✭✭✭power pants


    hi mick what is the best tv for GTA please?

    I know Mick, I took it at face value of this being a 1080p tv screen. But it could very well be a 1080i screen, which is arguably worse than 720p :)
