Grand Theft Auto Series Megathread V2: Give Me (GTA V) PC - Games

[QUOTE=DChapsfield;46692288]yeah it'll be the 23rd [sp]of January[/sp][/QUOTE] Yes, of course. They gotta make sure PC doesn't get anything simultaneously, don't they? :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=proch;46690281]Beacon it's pretty weird to see you outside the Stalker thread I have to say.[/QUOTE] haha I post everywhere in GGD bro, though not as often, of course

[QUOTE=proch;46694494]I mean I know but still[/QUOTE] GTA: ZONA

Is there a lot of aliasing in the PS4 version, or is it as smooth and crisp as the videos and screenshots make it out to be?

[QUOTE=Rixxz2;46694756]Is there a lot of aliasing in the PS4 version, or is it as smooth and crisp as the videos and screenshots make it out to be?[/QUOTE] Not as bad as it was on last gen, but they're still there.

[QUOTE=Rixxz2;46694756]Is there a lot of aliasing in the PS4 version, or is it as smooth and crisp as the videos and screenshots make it out to be?[/QUOTE] It uses FXAA, so it's a decent enough AA, but it's not as great as it would be if it were actual AA or downsampling.

[QUOTE=GetBent;46694777]Not as bad as it was on last gen, but they're still there.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I've actually only played about five hours of the 360 version, as the blurriness combined with the jaggies literally made my eyes hurt

[QUOTE=I am Error;46684639]It wasn't dumb, what they did, it was dumb what Target AU did.[/QUOTE] How was what they did not dumb? They're acting like we're in 1992 when Night Trap was "scary." Not to mention that every iteration of the series since 2001 minus Chinatown has had that feature, and I'd also like to point out that the game has been released for over a year now. Killing hookers in GTAV is nothing new, there was even a car duplicating glitch that required you to trap a hooker in your car and kill them, and nobody complained then. You've been able to do this for thirteen fucking years. This is like a bunch of aeronautics teachers petitioning to take it down because you can crash a jet full of people on Online, saying that the game encourages suicidal terrorism. The storyline [B]forces[/B] you to kill hundreds of government authorities, and nobody working at a police station is petitioning anything, but they give you the freedom to virtually kill someone after having virtual sex in a fake world, and they start a petition about it. I guess that honestly, I'm just really pissed about it because I think it's a really menial thing. If they all had near-death experiences in similar situations, sure, I can see why they'd be bothered, but from what you're telling me, I should make a petition [I]right now[/I] because in the game you can kill people and I'm a person.

you forget that this is 2014, the year of everything is racist and offensive.

I mean it isn't anything as good as the original game in terms of story, but going back to Vice City in a different time period really helps make the city feel like a real place from what I remember.

[URL="http://reager.org/gta/"]45 days left[/URL], still no preorder.

Holy shit San Andreas has a lot more celebrity voice actors than I remembered. Never knew MC Eiht was Ryder, Chris Penn was Pulaski, The Game was B-Dup, and Zero was David Cross. Now I can't stop seeing Zero as Tobias from Arrested Development.

[QUOTE=realtaylers;46697770]Now I can't stop seeing Zero as Tobias from Arrested Development.[/QUOTE] This happens to me with every video game character David Cross voices. That one marine in Halo 2? "Oh Jenkins, you blow hard!"

That said, I'm all against it. Fuck censorship and fuck people who try to censor shit. The thing about them using cheap tactics against Target AU and honestly lying about the game makes it all the worse. If there were even a few petitioning who actually believed what I said, it's fine. It's Target AU that I have the problem with, mostly.

Holy shit, I just returned from a full 16 player race and the car restriction is Muscle. For some reason many people went with the Blade while I chose my Ruiner instead. At the beginning, I was slammed and hit and spun out right after we left the starting line. My position dropped from a 7 to a 15 and I thought I was going to lose for sure. Then for some reason, alot of players thought that the checkpoint was straight ahead on the freeway while it was in fact on a right turn. I got a good laugh at them when they crashed out as they frantically tried to go back on the correct path. I immediately sprang to 5th, then 3rd as I overtook 2 Blade. There was only a Dominator and another Blade in front of me. My Ruiner immediately overtook them and I led an entire lap before winning the race.

Also, I wish the Blista Compact and the Futo were actually in the compact class so they could actually stand a chance in races.

[QUOTE=Chains!;46698187]They chose the Blade because the Blade is the fastest Stock Muscle car.[/QUOTE] Fastest in a straight line, overall its a terrible muscle car as soon as you need to turn. Sabre, Ruiner and Dominator are the most balanced going in that order because they have decent straight line speed but dont handle like a fucking fishing boat.

Speaking of GTA in Russia, there are mods for that. I have only played one of them, and it's set in eastern Ukraine ("gta Lviv"), but I know there are some that are set in Russia, for sure. And as for the "beaten old cars", we have been modding those in since gta III. Good old times.

Fuck San Andreas. I want to play so much, but the constant random crashes and glitches are way too annoying to keep playing.

[QUOTE=realtaylers;46698723]Fuck San Andreas. I want to play so much, but the constant random crashes and glitches are way too annoying to keep playing.[/QUOTE] Ain't that the truth. It's so optimized it's ridiculous. Currently the game crashes for me when I brake in a car because of the smoke effects, and before the most recent update I got it to not crash, but the framerate would dip to like 10 fps every 20 seconds for no discernible reason. I can't believe how hard it is to get such a outdated looking game to run well. I've spent more hours googleing fixes that actually playing the PC version.

This NillxModz leaker guy hyped up the fact that he was going to release a list of features coming with the Christmas update. This is the list of stuff he released: [quote] Gradient Controlled Snow (More snow on the pavement on Christmas morning then at the end of Christmas day - this means the roads will become more icey during the day - this applies to current-generation only - old generation will have normal snowfall) 8 Christmas-themed clothing items (Scarf, t-shirt, suit jacket, pumps and suit trousers) 1 Limited Time Christmas Apartment Interior (This feature applies to next generation only - old generation will get discounts on selected apartments instead) 1 Exclusive Cops and Crooks Mission (Part of the Heists and Holiday Season DLC) Red Sky effect during snowfall (next-generation effect only) [/quote] And that's about it. :v: I would link to the source, but it seems like his little forum got a bit too much traffic. [editline]dicks[/editline] And while I'm sure you all know this already, but what this guy leaked does not confirm anything. Leaks aren't always reliable.

[QUOTE=simkas;46698674]And yet it's completely empty so it feels totally dead and there's pretty much nothing to do.[/QUOTE] You mean, like crashing into other cars or driving over pedestrians? I'd just download that map to admire its beauty and detail, he can add pedestrians later.
