GTA V

Have you not played GTA V? (genuine question)

You can save whenever you like and you can be 'busted' rather than 'wasted' if the police get close enough and you're disarmed / inactive.

That's the game mode anyway, not sure about online, think it's the same

EDIT - if you're killed online you just respawn near where you died

No, I don't have it. I'm considering buying it. I've played IV, not V.

The deer does have immunity, I didn't know that would make it un-bustable - just thought it made it invulnerable. I'd been watching some let's plays and they didn't get busted either, but perhaps they were never close enough.

So if you're busted, is it the same deal as in IV? You end up at the cop shop with money missing?

You can save wherever though? That's great. I didn't think that was the case, again because of the let's plays I was watching. Particularly the one that went through from the beginning and had the whole tutorial telling Franklin he could save by sleeping.
 
I'm pretty sure my main save always starts with wanted stars :hmm: so reckon you must be able to save it when you like...
 
Loved playing this game about 2yrs ago on the '360. As its so good I've bought it again to play again but this time on the 'One. 20% or so in and it's as amusing the second time round. Takes some doing to get around all the swearing and n word especially if potty mouth aint yer thing. .
 
I have a filthy mouth, so that won't bother me, and I'm comfortable enough hearing the n word in this kind of thing.

The gender bullshit will bother me, but I'll avoid that as much as humanly possible. It says something when Saints Row is far and away more progressive on that front.

It's downloading now.

This should be right up your street for screenshots etc, no?

Get yourself ScriptHook and a trainer (ENT ;)) and enjoy manipulating the real world sandbox nature of the thing. Once you've done the story, if that's your thing, obviously.

Its a great game, say goodbye to your easter weekend. Swearing is not such a biggie this time round as kids older.
 
And yes, looking forward to screenshots. Particularly to using the in-game phone camera thing. I've seen some beautiful pictures people have taken just with that, never mind 4K textures and ReShade.

Where are all the mods and trainers and so on? Is there a specific website or are they littered around?

Script Hook V - AB Software Development

GTA5-Mods.com - Your source for the latest GTA 5 car mods, scripts, tools and more.

ScriptHook is the enabler for all the mods - the author is a good guy. I (with input from others) wrote Enhanced Native Trainer that you can find on the latter site, although several others are available. In theory everything else uploaded to that site has been checked for malware etc but I'm not sure. In the early days people did put such stuff into mods.

Don't access the online game with any of that stuff installed.
 
Thanks, I'll take a look. I remember back playing IV I had no problem giving myself unlimited ammo and health - sometimes I want to go through the story missions without getting pissed off about the stupid mechanics, sometimes I want to challenge myself... either way, I reckon I'll grab your trainer :thumbs:

The beauty of GTA is everything is parodied, the use of racial slurs is basically used to stereotype, the main characters are three common American lifestyles, even the social media rip of LifeInvader should prove it.

Its why I love Rockstar, as much as they create fantastic games, they know how to make issues raised to a community.
 
Got it up and running. Fun so far. Better controls than GTAIV. I like combat with kb&m but driving is impossible, so I've switched to gamepad.

Doing some experimenting to find the best method for hud-less screenshots. Snapmatic is fun, but it doesn't save the full res picture, which is shit. You can make screenshots from the Editor, but it's a lot of faff to go through. I'll have to see if there's a no-hud toggle in any of the trainers. I've found a free cam mod. Time stop would round out the holy trinity, but I suspect that's too much to ask for.
 
Oh boy. The editor is AMAZING.

(I've really trashed Lamar's van :oops:)

I can guarantee I'll never finish this game.

No HUD is an option. You can slow time down by about 100x but not stop it.

Really enjoying it.

Got as far as starting to plan my first heist - the jewellery store.

The dialogue and acting are first class. And it's very pretty. I don't have any graphics mods installed, except for my own rudimentary ReShade preset. I've taken a couple of pictures, but tbh I don't think I'll take too many.

I've been playing with pools, which is basically gaining access to ALL the vehicles or peds in the world and manipulating them. So you can have all the peds die or abandon their cars as soon as they're created, which makes for some cool apocalyptic scenes.

Hopefully I'll put something out in the next week or two.
 
I'm still tempted, even though it's been a couple of years, and I've seen it played through by YTers several times. I'll prolly only zoom around in cars exploring, so it's gonna have to be reduced by more than a third before I buy it.
 
Dialogue remains compelling.

I'm at 26% completion, which seems like far too much because I don't want it to end. I feel like I've barely scratched the surface.
 
That 26% is what it says next to my save, rather than on the stats menu. Can't remember what it says on there. Not the same I don't think.

I've got to the point where Michael's family have left him. Franklin has his new safehouse. Trevor has blown up the biker trailer park.

I really like playing as Michael. I know prevailing opinion seems to be Trevor is where it's at because lol he so funny what a cray-cray guy lol mental health issues are funny, etc. But there's something about Michael's middle-class (upper-middle class I guess) troubles juxtaposed with the life of crime, it seems to work really nicely. I guess that's what the Sopranos was about - I didn't watch it past the first episode.
 
Vintage Paw, you are just ahead of me in the story. Michael's family are gone and Trevor has done the bikers and moved to LS. Im gonna change how I played it as far as I can choice wise from my first game about 18 months ago. Such a funny game.
