SPOILER FILLED Thread for Grand Theft Auto V for IMPATIENT PEOPLE - Read Rules in OP
- Thread starter duckroll
- Start date
I've seen it happen a couple of time.
I wonder what's up with that. I can't wait to solve that mystery.

is also seen during some of the cult missions
I think it depends on the car, a quad bike or something is possible, a truck not so much.
Bailing out of this thread now. Had my fill, until I grab it for myself at midnight. Cheers for all the people creating gifs, linking streams and keeping out real spoilers. Thought I'd regret hanging out in this thread, but it all went better than expected.
See you guys on the other side!

Such a huge letdown if actually true for every car. I mean why? Worst news I've heard about the game.
Just don't flip it then?
What version was this caught on? Amazing to see this kind of graphics on such old hardware. Not amazing as in "could not be better with new HW", but looking at pop in etc is rather pleasant compared to what I was expecting. Then again it may be choppy as hell in cities.
360
This is the best thing I've read about this game so far. None of the previews talking about it like it was a movie got me excited because I never knew how it actually was gameplaywise, but this is stunning.
What version have you been playing, and in what situations did you experience slow downs. Also, what HW are you using, latest or earlier gen?
Edit: Sw you were running it on 360. Early 360 or later model?

I saw that happens in a stream this morning lol.
Slim 360 (rev 1, Trinity). I was playing with the game disc installed, but I've since uninstalled it. It hasn't appeared to help the framerate any. Read my earlier posts for specifics about when it occurs.
I think it's a "game feature", I've seen it work on just about any vehicle, including trucks with a trailer.

Oh my GOD, I can finally talk about this game. I've had a copy since Thursday and I couldn't say anything. But now I can! Yay!
I have the game on PS3, ask me anything except story things.

Do we know when sethos is coming back?

I haven't seen this, but is there weapons and armor hidden around SA like the previous GTA's? I hope so, so I can continue my tradition of never buying weapons/armor (unless story mandatory).
Also, If you steal a vehicle and place it in a garage so its "yours". If you take it back out and get it destroyed is it gone for good?
Thanks!
Disappointing. Truly so.
Sorry for asking before I had read up on your posts, I posted during a coffee break. Thank you for being so specific in your previous posts, I really appreciate it.

performance, how is it
So, for the guys that played the game, I played 9 hours and is it only me that thinks the stock market is shit? The $$$ is way to low to make it worthwhile while a mission gives you alot.
Also them jaggies when you drive around
. Just took my apache from the fort, and quit after that for a break.

Since most of you seem to play the game: Did anyone of you find a shop where you can buy hats? I've seen Baseball caps but no hats yet. :/
Tons of jaggies, screen tearing, I think it is around 18-25 fps when driving around, PS3 version. Dropped below 15 i think when I were driving my submarine on the surface.

I think I've found armor out in the world, but no guns yet. Then again there's still areas in the boonies I've barely even touched.
I'm not sure I've been in that exact situation yet. The only cars I've fully modded have been the cars that "belong" to the main characters - i.e the ones they always have - and those return. Not sure about other cars.
It's good. It's not the "buttery smooth without a hitch" or whatever BS that preview said a while back. It definitely drops below 30 when a lot is going on. I've caused it to hitch by hitting a fruit stand at 180mph. Basically, whenever a lot of physics-based stuff is happening, it's going to dip.
That being said I don't think it's ever gone below, say, 24fps during gameplay other than the fruit stand incident I mentioned. There's nothing as bad as Blighttown or anything.
EDIT - oh yeah, guy above me is definitely right about the submarine. I can't say I've noticed any screen tearing, though...

It's not a blurry mess, for one thing. But from what I remember of IV, it definitely runs better. I'm pretty sure V at least touches 30 some of the time, which IV didn't feel like it ever did.
yeah I mean i've been judging from the direct feed streams and it looks WAY better!
Granted it was mostly situational (aka sometimes it might have chaos going on most of the time it wasn't).
I really hope Rockstar patched in custom radio stations. I doubt they will, but man won't that just be great!

I've purposely kept myself in the dark about everything regarding this game until today in an effort to limit the potential for a torturous wait.
But now. All these gifs. All these reviews.
This will be the slowest day.

This is totally leading up to an undead nightmare style expansion.

Might want to be in the other thread instead, lol.

Played the game yesterday, here's a hunch:
There are UFO parts hidden all over the map. Maybe also a dinosaur egg? There's a painted hill in the middle of nowhere (as there is one in CA, too)... also from another image posted, underwater UFO? So i'm guessing you collect all the parts, unlock a flyable UFO
oh, random encounter mission spoiler:
There's a random activist dude in favor of legalizing marijuana. You can play this mission 3 times as each different character. Each takes a few hits of weed, each has a different experience.
Let's just say, a certain white boy can't handle his weed. Aliens... get into his head.

and how the fuck should he know how 15fps feels?
Yeah I'm still not sure about the garage thing either. I fully modded an SUV, left it in Franklin's garage. Decided to drive it around a few game days later and it wasn't there.
There is a car impound, which I recently unlocked, but I didn't see my suv either, just two recent cars I boosted. So I'm not 100% sure how the garage mechanic works and how people would feel after buying the veyron, then having it disappear lol

It's not a universal garage ala Saints Row, which is really too bad.
You can't access another persons garage either, at least when I tried.
Are the upgrades you bought now unlocked to use on other vehicles? Or do you have to pay again?
Pretty sure I had to pay again, even if it's the same model. I'll check later to be sure. Getting your car out of impound is only $250 though

It's per vehicle. 99% sure. Same way that you have to buy each upgrade on every gun.
So how is the mission structure handled? Can you actually miss missions because you are messing around on another character? Do you lose access to a character for a while due to story reasons? For example say one says they have to do something but then you only have access to the other two until the third is finished doing something that simply isn't possible by playing the game. Do you miss parts of mission or the lead up to them by playing one character instead of another? Or will you see all of the lead up regardless?
I don't know if there are missable missions, random ones sure (blue dots, you'll know when your minimap flashes for a second) since you can just drive by and ignore it; you can also attempt to do it and fuck it up by pulling out your gun prematurely.
Yes, you lose access to one or two characters due to story. And yeah, you eventually do run out of missions for a particular character, and "force" you to switch just to progress the story.
It'll give you information about it; when you're swapping between characters on the HUD, there's a little number below each portrait that tells you how many missions they have available. Or you can just bring up the main map and see if there are any colored icons associated with that particular character.
I think I'm going to wait to pick up this game until it comes out on PC. The game looks pretty great on current consoles but I'd really like to play it at a higher resolution and with better performance (provided the game is optimized appropriately). Here's hoping that a PC version comes out eventually!
