The GTA V thread (PC ONLY)

I feel like I'm part of the few lucky people who has never had an issue with any game. Never ran a game that did not feel unoptimized.

Contrary to the experiences in that link, the new GTAV patch downloaded fast and now the game is running even better for me!
 
I think the game tries to download 5gb of dlc ,which i think is the part needed to play online.
But you should be able to just download the patch/patches which are a few hundred megabyte and leave the the big 5gb download to later .
But you prob. need to make sure your dlc folder is clear or game might crash at start.
or try renaming any thing in folder to .bak
 
I bought it on the day it came out, after assuring it was optimised (preorders are sketchy). And I was surprised how silly it is. The game is barraged with satire and funny quips and commentary, it barely feels serious, but has the attention to realistic detail which can only be achieved by spending more money on its development than any other entertainment product in history. The skippy reference really got to me. Never played the game before, and it runs 60 fps on max for me, which is nice. I like the customisation it has available, for people and cars (mostly online), but its not as in depth or as good as Saints Row currently. No body customisation, but since online is a developable platform it could happen in the future. Its fantastic they made an incredibly in depth editor for the game (and apparently it has some great resources for sandbox free roaming too), although I haven't been able to try it yet.

I don't like some of the adult or sexist content, but its curious to see some of it as I get that Rockstar are deliberately mentioning stereotypes and bringing them to the extreme to make commentary about society (ala the torture scene), but its still tiresome with the crudeness, swearing, and sexist remarks berating your ear. Trevor is tiresome in particular, but he has some great set piece missions, which is basically my main positive about him.

Its entertaining that despite all those bogus discussions about how gta is ultra serious, the game seriously wants to make you laugh. The lovechild of apple, google and Facebook, Live invader, who the eco of is bent on world domination, and will deport his workers to a third world country if their don't smile enough or aren't good at air guitar. If what was said in tabloids was actually true, and the papparazi rumours were actually real and normal, the strange old couple who are obsessed with celebrity garbage, monkeys and ufos at one point when your awful tea bagging son leaves you on a curb, an entertaining Stockholm syndrome scenario, with Trevor's long sought after love, a Triad mistaking Michael for Trevor's boyfriend, Michaels family, its all ridiculous and over the top! Its more light hearted than GTA 4, but even that game had some ridiculous humour, heck a comedy club.

I just wish it wasn't so childish at times, but Im enjoying myself so far. It makes me appreciate Saints Row more too, including its music selection.

Probably the first game I've played where taking screenshots is fun.

it's just me or are there another people who like to always use the "same character", the character i created in Saints Row 2, i always try to recreate him in other games, so i can play like: "the story of Mike Susano"
winch story arc spams from Saints Row 2/The Third/IV to GTA: Online/and other games with character customization, it's so cool, like some kind of Roleplay where every game i play is another adventure for him..shit it looks like i'm very high doesn't?
 
^ I've created the same character across SR2, 3, and 4, and now into GTA:O. I've started playing female characters almost exclusively now, and the sole reason is male protagonists are everywhere, and I'm tired of it, so having a female kick ass is a welcome change.

Anyway, I'm laughing right now at the amount of people caught in the recent banwave. Rockstar Support board and the GTAV PC Reddit are filled with ban threads. Most of them are pulling the "innocent" card saying "i no hack pls rockstr unban me". The amount of cheaters in GTA:O made it pretty discouraging to grind for me and my friends legitimately. People would hack millions of cash and RP while I did it the slow way, but it looks like it was worth it. On top of that, I get to continue playing while the cheaters enjoy their ban.

tl:dr if you're a cheater, bite me.
