I just went to Argos and bought it for £34.99 with $1,000,000 in game cash ( half in offline other online ) it's gonna take a while to install on 7 discs , but tbh I'm quite happy to pay for it ( even after paying for it on PS3 )

still installing 90 mins later lol...
I succumbed and bought it last night. An hour and 20 minutes later (thank goodness for fast broadband) I was playing it. Only done the 1st mission. Seems like fun so far...

As I'm strictly PC, I've never played V before, so these are first impressions on the whole thing.
The world is amazing - although I'm aware this has been said many times before for lesser titles, we must be converging on actual photorealism/reality now. Some contexts - tree density - aren't as good as others, but otherwise it's pretty incredible.
Technically it works great, although I have a reasonably good PC.
As for the story mode, hmm. I've got a little past the point of access to all three characters, and so far it's a bit by-the-numbers, even though I was looking forward to exactly what GTA does. It feels a bit like a reboot of GTA:SA, which of course it is to some extent, and is fine if that's what it is, but it's just a bit too close.
Because the last games were so great, and partly because it's been 7 years (FFS), I feel a bit like there's a pressing requirement on me to try and extract brilliant times from it, if that makes sense. It means I'm always thinking, 'what if I've missed something', or 'what's best to do next', rather than just exploring & letting it flow.
So far it hasn't really shown off what the engine can do - the magic of GTA is often in surprise set pieces & variety, whereas other games just use much narrower capabilities. There are a couple of exceptions, like pulling/pushing large objects with a car, but not much else yet. Maybe it'll come.

Great game, amazing fun. I keep getting loads of lag at random points though. I've even turned down the resolution to 1200x1020 and still happening.
I really need a new MB but can find one that supports my still very good Qx9650 @4ghz and ddr2 ram.
My current my can only support 4gbs.
Otherwise I have to get new cpu, mb and ram.
What to do?

I love GTA 5. But online on pc is abit of a joke as it is full of hackers. Had some cool hackers though who showered me with cash bags and made one online player constantly have a ufo over his head and some over cool stuff. But most of them just cheat and mess up online.

The same rules apply
being playing the stock market but not making much, it's only Michael I have and issue with, the others have hundreds of millions, however I'm making 400k a week on the golf club and large cinema with him, so just need to wait a bit before I can buy the others. So that's why im trying to do all the side stuff, or getting a taxi from one end of the map to the other and skipping it to speed up time!

Finally got around to buying GTA V after trading in a bunch of games I never played any more, plus moving the PS3 out of the main living room into a dedicated games room. 8)
