I saw the ball in the room and tried to repeat scratchmonkey's feat.



But a cop ran over it shortly after I took the picture.

then why do i find all these threads complaining that you can only invert the y-axis like in gta4 D:

just want to be sure before i drop the 60 bucks — this is a dealbreaker kind of thing for me

simply can't handle the non-inverted camera controls

Me neither! I am an inverted only guy. Like I said it's the first thing I did. It's right there in the options.

I mean, I only played it once for a couple hours so far. I can boot it up again and doublecheck if you want me to.

good to know, thanks! i probably won't pick it up for a few days yet, so let me know if you realize you're mistaken, otherwise i'll take your word for it.

I was totally just playing it and it was totally right in there.

Maybe it was in a day 1 patch or something? You'd have to be pretty dumb to miss it.

Yeah, during the opening I had to invert it to even get past the first "room".

I beat the game. Then I went and played the other two missions that I didn't choose, going as far as to play option B twice, selecting a different prompt each time.

I think Im going to 100% this, tbh. I might as well, Im enjoying myself enough that I dont want it to stop here. And then Online will be out... Someday I'll play through the game again and do all the heists differently. Unless you can select them through the missions select thing and choose a different plan somehow?

Also, I plan on replaying 'Burying The Hatchet' and exploring North Yankton.

Anyway, you know Deathwish is the true ending because it ends on that fucking gorgeous sunset.

And it resonates thematically.

Until Rockstar decides to pull another Death of Johnny K in GTA VI.

I was scoping out possible stealworker headquarters going by the safehouses marked on the blueprint map. I saw some potential out there.

It looks like the big time heists won't be available right away, they're coming in an update a few weeks in, and so is capture the flag, a "Beach Bum" content thing, and the editor. I wonder if all the work put into the online is why it feels like the writing in the story suffered some this time around. Even the new pisswasser ad doesn't hold a candle to the old one.

The character writing so far to me seems just fine, though I wish Franklin had more development — or at least half as much as Trevor. It's interesting how Trevor doesn't even show up until a few hours in (or more, depending on how you're playing) and then it seems like he becomes the main character. That's where I'm at right now, anyway.

I don't mind that the wacky parody stuff feels diminished because I'm paying so little attention to it anyway. I'm in this to play out my Heat fantasies and explore and take selfies in cool places.

The T2 homage truck chase was rad.



I could spend hours hanging out on that pier and staring at the water and jumping in for a swim.

By the end I think they all could have used more development. You're introduced to each characters world and then it doesn't do anything more with it. It'd be like if in Episodes from Liberty City, your introduced to Johnny's gang and their problems, Luis and Tony's problems with the clubs, and then they just go and do missions for the CIA guy with Niko the rest of the game and retire as millionaires at the end. Forget all that other shit at the beginning, we won the lottery. I would have liked for Trevor Philips Industries and Franklin, Lamar & Stretch to get as much time as Michael's family stuff at least.

I modded a motorcycle from iFruit.

Next time I played, it was out of the garage.

Roughly 20 hours of dicking around later... it appeared, with the mods I bought.

Rode it for a while.

Then it disappeared again, forever.

Finally finished the main story! Stats menu says I'm at 74% total completion so far. The online comes out tomorrow doesn't it? I timed that just right. Now I'm going to have to split my time between online, 100%ing this, and playing a new game making different choices.

The story in this one turned out to be not quite three GTA games in one but rather three Gay Tony sized interlocking stories in one game. I think I like the Strangers and Freaks missions more than the main story ones, though the main one do have lots of neat setpiece moments.

There's still too much to say about this game. It's definitely the best one yet, like usual, just for the city alone. But then it goes at adds in everything else making it just that much better. Too bad the writing suffers a bit though I'm willing to take that as a sacrifice for everything else being so good.

there's something wonderful about finding out that if you crash the engine of a vehicle first, it sometimes/often decides to explode right in your face, given that the height of the drop is big enough. Doing so in a ***-chase with the police, driving a Comet 911 with shot rear left tire and crashing spectacularly is just awesome.

The cars seem way more susceptible to certain kinds of damage. I was on a road that was on a decline that wound all the way down to the foot of a hill and then hooked around to a highway. The place I wanted to go was right there on the highway, so instead of driving all the way down and back around I just drove off the cliff directly, maybe 3 stories high. In previous GTAs if I flipped right I might've landed on my wheels and still been drivable, or at worst flipped the car and put it on fire which would have let me get out. Instead it exploded immediately when it hit the ground. Wasn't counting on that.

So I was at a friend's checking the game out and he told me I could do whatever I wanted besides Missions, so I tried to drive an ATV up the side of a mountain. Almost made it!

Accidentally killing a mountain lion by slamming my front tire into it after a jump, sending it over a cliff.

Losing control, skidding off the same cliff, managing to use the slight incline to slow my descent until some obscure geometry halts that, sends me spinning off into space

off the bike

as the color goes, I see the mountain lion corpse in the background

finding it odd that your online character will be the 4th character on your wheel and you can switch to them any time, but their stuff is set a few months before the main game. like you warp back in time whenever you select them, because i guess they obviously can't have events in multiplayer congruent with the status of a solo game. anyway, i am definitely going to make mine a woman because now i can.

Does the scooter buddies thing go anywhere? I played along with it for a while, but ended up running into traffic.

It's probably my favorite thing in the game.

i can't even get past the awful character creator because i spend too much time figuring out the right one and then it freezes on me
