It is an anarchistic knock at American life where you can play as a criminal in several fictional cities around America and you can do whatever the fuck you want, since the games are primarily open ended; steal a car, shoot up things, do some side missions or just simply advance the story, whatever, it's all up to you. The games use a lot of pop culture references and can (and will) proceed to take the piss out of everything; every subject is fair game. It also features some awesome music relevant for whatever time period the game is in. [QUOTE] The Games -- 2D Era [B]Grand Theft Auto[/B] Release: October 1997 The first game of the series to hit the shelves for the Playstation 1, PC and Gameboy Advance. It's about as basic as you can get, but still a classic and it came with two mission packs. GTA (and GTA2) is available for free download on Rockstar's official website, as well as Steam (but you have to buy it as part of a collection there). Mission Packs Release: April 29 1999 [GTA: London 1969] June 1 1999 [GTA: London 1961] These two mission packs were the first expansions for Grand Theft Auto, and set about expanding the core gameplay and changing the main locale to London instead of the United States. Grand Theft Auto 2 Release: September 30, 1999 For the PC, PS1, Dreamcast and Gameboy Advance. It offered an improved version of the original GTA and allowed you to do work for seperate gangs. -- 3D Era Grand Theft Auto 3 [URL="http://i.imgur.com/ECOf0kZ.jpg"][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ECOf0kZ.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Release: October 22, 2001 Hailed the granddaddy of all open world 3D games, GTA3 was released for the PS2, Xbox and PC. The silent protagonist (revealed in later games to be Claude) is betrayed by his girlfriend in a robbery, and you set out to gain revenge on her through moving up in the crime ladder. It set the precedent for all the future 3D GTA games and was very amazing and controversial for its time, as well as establishing Liberty City (the first arguably well known city in the GTA series). It was rereleased later for the iOS and Android phones on its anniversary, as well as being available on the Playstation Network. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City [URL="http://i.imgur.com/ftkmmle.jpg"][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ftkmmle.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Release: October 29, 2002 Vice City was released for the PS2, PC and Xbox. It is set in the fictional Florida settlement of Vice City, and takes a lot of inspiration and flair from the 80s, as well as loosely following the Scarface theme for the story. Features a lot of rad music, colourful scenary and motherfucking helicopters, as well as introducing the first talking protagonist Tommy Vercetti. It was rereleased later for the iOS and Android on its anniversary, and is also available on the PSN. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas [URL="http://i.imgur.com/EKTqTCa.jpg"][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/EKTqTCa.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Release: October 26, 2004 Released on for the PS2, PC and Xbox, it is the largest GTA game to date in the 3D Era. It features a whole state, San Andreas, instead of just one city, with three cities loosely based off Los Angeles (Los Santos) and San Francisco (San Fierro) of California, and Las Vegas (Las Venturas) of Nevada. It is seen to be the most popular GTA game still today, as it bought a lot of new features to the table. The usefulness of these features (the rpg style elements primarily) is hotly debated amongst many fans. Also introduced Carl 'CJ' Johnson, make of him what you will. You can also swim in this one, finally. It is available on PSN and XBLM. Grand Theft Auto: Advance Release: October 25, 2004 Developed by an independant studio (Digital Eclipse) for the Game Boy Advance. Features a new main character called Mike who does criminal work in Liberty City. Considered by some to be the weakest link in the series. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories [URL="http://i.imgur.com/JKpk4wC.jpg"][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/JKpk4wC.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Release: October 24, 2005 For the PSP (and a year later on the PS2), this is a spinoff to GTA3 (set three years before) putting players in the shoes of capo Toni Cipriani, who rises through the Leone ranks in Liberty City and earns the trust of his boss Salvatore Leone. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories [URL="http://i.imgur.com/8bBy8it.jpg"][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/8bBy8it.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Release: October 31, 2006 Also for the PSP (and again ported to the PS2 only), this is the earliest canon GTA game in the 3D era and is set two years before Vice City, showing how dishonourably discharged army private Victor Vance rises through the criminal underworld in Vice City just to survive (and dealing with Lance.. fucking Lance). Features a lot of pastel coloured suits, more 80s music and the return of swimming. -- HD Era Grand Theft Auto IV [URL="http://i.imgur.com/QwBOnx7.jpg"][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/QwBOnx7.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Release: April 29, 2008 The most detailed game ever released in the series, Grand Theft Auto IV hit the shelves for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. It details the journey of Niko Bellic, an immigrant fresh off the boat from Europe inspired to start a new life after reading his cousin's many letters about how awesome America is. However, once he gets there he finds out that Roman was just telling bullshit stories and is forced to work his way through the shady dealings of Liberty City to secure some money and deal with his past at the same time. This is set in a completely new universe (with references to the 3D era but no reappearances of the old characters) and features some really amazing physics and graphics, and keeps the overall classic GTA gameplay. Just be weary of getting persistent phone calls from all your friends. There's also the PC port, notorious in its ability to work in technologically impossible ways on every machine as well as being bundled with GFWL, but as of a few patches, GFWL has been removed completely and the game optimised. Episodic Content [URL="http://i.imgur.com/dkyLGwk.jpg"][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/dkyLGwk.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Release: 17 Feburary 2009 [TLAD] 29 October 2009 [TBOGT] The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony were released as two-parters to GTA4, part of a deal with Microsoft Games for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. It fixed up a lot of the criticisms with GTA4 and interweaved the three protagonists stories together (Niko Bellic, Johnny Klebitz and Luis Lopez) into an interesting and satisfying experience, also offering new weapons, cars and a whole bunch of stuff to do. TLAD also requires you to be confident of your sexuality. You can buy GTA4 + TLAD and BOGT in a complete bundle called 'Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City' in retail or on Steam. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars [URL="http://i.imgur.com/cz0vYwS.jpg"][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/cz0vYwS.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Release: 17 March 2009 Released for the Nintendo DS, and a few months later for the PSP and iOS, it is the second game (not counting the episodic content) to be released in the HD era and follows the story of Huang Lee through Liberty City. It received impressive reviews for a handheld game. [B][U]Grand Theft Auto V[/U][/B] [URL="http://i.imgur.com/Rluz8MO.jpg"][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Rluz8MO.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Release: September 17th 2013 (PS3 and 360) November 18th 2014 (PS4 and Xbox One) April 13th and 15th 2015 (PC) The fifteenth game in Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto series tells the stories of three playable protagonists; Michael, a former robber and troubled family man who is now living the high life in Los Santos and unsatisfied with his life, Franklin, a member of Grove Street who is looking to get out of the hood and earn himself more cash than all the awful gang related errands he runs and Trevor, Michael's former partner-in-crime, living in Blaine County way out in the sticks. The stories of the three characters intertwine frequently and outside of missions the player can freely switch between them.

[QUOTE]Whats up with me be being unable to see crew members in-game chat? I can see random players and my friends chat but whenever they are in the FAPS crew I can't see their chat and they can't see mine [/QUOTE] Cross post from old :v:

Really need to finish the story again. Haven't finished my first playthrough on PS4 yet.

There have been only 710 of the Z-types RL counterpart ever made. It doesn't look that good though tbh :v:

Play for about one hour at near 60fps Play for 5 minutes (depends on how long you can put up with it) at <10fps Is this terrible stuttering going to be fixed? I assume it's ram related because GTA climbs up to 2.5gb of ram and then holds there running like shit until I get fed up with it and either restart or just stop playing

I really hope they will make two expansions, one San Fierro one and one Las Venturas one.

fuck me its ridiculous how shit some people are at driving motorcycles. Every time on pacific standard, I manage to reach the canyon and some idiot dies

[QUOTE=Coridan;47637702]Does anyone find that flying in general feels clunky as hell with a mouse and keyboard? Coming from playing Helis/Jets pretty well in Battlefield, I simply hate the way aircraft respond in this game. I have my flying sensitivity turned all the way down and it still feels like I have no control. I guess I'll get used to it with practice.[/QUOTE] Nah I feel the same way, especially with airplanes. One tap = 20 - 30 degree difference. It's utterly impossible trying to strafe something with an airplane because [I]any[/I] correction to your flight path will result in your bullets going from 10 meters off target to 60 meters off target in the other direction! The sensitivity on keyboards is just insanely high when it comes to small adjustments.

I honestly would prefer having this [t]http://prod.cloud.rockstargames.com/crews/sc/0831/1270/publish/emblems/b05f794bf2254e30c0805a30049cc3bc1c59cbf4_128.png[/t] As our logo. Rather than the actual FP logo. Looks a lot better and will fit on more cars without looking out of place. Not to mention clothes will look better with it.

[QUOTE=Araknid;47637760]fuck me its ridiculous how shit some people are at driving motorcycles. Every time on pacific standard, I manage to reach the canyon and some idiot dies[/QUOTE] Imo motorcycles are one of the hardest vehicles to control on keyboard. They're like flying a jet low to the ground, but with 2 dimensions, 50x the obstacles, and unpredictable moving walls that constantly try to crash you.

I'm an idiot, what are the keyboard controls for rocket and boost in 'GTA' races? I had a look at the keybinds menu but couldn't find them.

[QUOTE=Scratch.;47637805]Good luck making it within the editor though[/QUOTE] It's already selectable. [t]http://i.imgur.com/PGDey4v.png[/t] MrConner imported it when you could use SVG's.

New thread smell. Might try to get some games in this weekend, maybe a heist. Anybody still active on PS4?

[QUOTE=Chains!;47637810]It's already selectable. [t]http://i.imgur.com/PGDey4v.png[/t] MrConner imported it when you could use SVG's.[/QUOTE] Speaking of imported svgs If someone switched the primary emblem to 'That Cat' Do we get bans if our screenshots and snapmatics contain the emblem? :v:

I requested a spot on the crew #2. My white/red panto is ready. Oh, and i might get my cars back from support after losing them during the character transfer. My garage has been far too empty.

Do you guys prefer the High Life apartments or the original ones? Because I just switched out my Del Perro 7 for Del Perro 4 and I'm not really feeling the High Life now.

[QUOTE=FlakTheMighty;47637842]Do you guys prefer the High Life apartments or the original ones? Because I just switched out my Del Perro 7 for Del Perro 4 and I'm not really feeling the High Life now.[/QUOTE] I have one of each. The original ones have more windows so you have a better view. But I prefer the interior of the new ones.

[QUOTE=Chains!;47637810]It's already selectable. [t]http://i.imgur.com/PGDey4v.png[/t] MrConner imported it when you could use SVG's.[/QUOTE] Doesn't matter, it detects that it was imported in and you can't switch to it. Also, I saw someone talking shit about the Sabre in the last thread. dems fighting words

Sabre is the best, who was talking shit? [IMG]http://prod.hosted.cloud.rockstargames.com/ugc/gta5photo/JJoX8tAqXU-qbB-FXGEXEw_0_0.jpg[/IMG] Look at that sexy beast, who wouldn't love it?

I wanna get nice screenshots. :v:

If the two FAPS groups are being cleaned up of cheaters and idle people I almost want to suggest the two groups being split as FP-EU and FP-NA to try and prevent the matchmaking from matching up people from opposite sides of the planet. Although... we do have a fair number of people who aren't EU and North America so that also wouldn't work...

[QUOTE=Chains!;47637810]It's already selectable. [t]http://i.imgur.com/PGDey4v.png[/t] MrConner imported it when you could use SVG's.[/QUOTE] i know what i'm doing when i get home

Or just play with other crew members.

I never tried it but can you do first person skydiving? I wonder how that looks on the Oculus Rift.

I have some $$ to spend. What car/bike should I get and why? Looking for a good looking car which has decent speed and handling...

I sent an invite request to "Facepunch 2" My tag on there is "TheGDTravman" I didn't think I'd like online that much. Now that I've revamped my character as an aged badass though, I can't wait to get out there!
