GTA V

I HATE flying. I can't land. I freak out and use the L stick to move left and right instead of L/R bumpers, and start to roll instead of just turning. And I can't get the approach right, and I can't reduce speed correctly, and landing strips are too short... HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE.

I ended up skipping the first flying mission with Trevor. I just couldn't land.

Can they all be skipped? I haven't bought the airfield yet, so I haven't done any of the flying side quests, nor done any practicing. I suppose I should do that. Presumably I can buy the air field, and just take the plane out and circle round and try to land over and over.

HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE.
 
Also I've lost Trevor's car.

I had it last when I went to blow up the rival Meth lab. When the house blew up, there was a conveniently placed quad bike right in front of me, so I got on that to leave the area. I figured, your personal car always ends up respawning at your safe house or being impounded anyway, so no matter.

Only it hasn't done.

Trevor's getting real tired of a series of successively shit cars I keep stealing for him.

Maybe I'll try to find that Meth lab place again to see if it's still there. I can't remember where it was now.

Have you done the flying school tutorials?
 
Nope. The only flying experience I have is Trevor's first flying mission thing. Where Ron kept telling me to set off the explosives but I must have missed the tool-tip because I had no idea how to :facepalm:

I'll go and do those then. I'd originally put them off because I remembered how much I hated the helicopter flying in IV. Then it foisted a flying main mission on me and it was hell.

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.

I think part of the reason some people like Trevor is because he's at least true to something/himself, whereas the rest just act in a shallow, reactive way.

Anyway if you've lost his car, then it should either be a map icon or you're not meant to have it right now. IIRC sometimes the game makes things unavailable, not sure why.
 
The flying missions at the airfield are really hard, VP. It's one bit I never completed. First few are good fun but there's one where you had to destroy a rival airbase with quite accurate bombing that I tried loads and loads of times but with no luck. Even more difficult if you've not done the flying tutorial though, I'd imagine.
 
I think it's all pretty easy, except for the crappy turbulence that means you can't fly straight. I play using mouse and keyboard though, and I can work a flight simulator (not that that counts for much).

The worst bit is the thrust is basically binary: try to slow down and the engine cuts out, at which point you drop like a stone.
 
I started playing with m&kb but found driving more annoying than it should have been. Because of what you mention about thrust tbh. With triggers/sticks you can push a little bit for a little bit of speed, or all the way for maximum speed. With a key it's all or nothing. I usually prefer m&kb (I played the Saints Row games with it), but it was a bit too frustrating for me in this. That said, I didn't persevere. I'm sure if I had done I'd have got used to it.

I think this is the big plus of the 3 character system. Plating as Trevor can be fun, but I don't think you could do a full game with him as the only character. Not if you want the game to have any emotional weight anyway.

Eta- plus the best Trevor bits are when you switch back to him and find him in a dress surrounded by dead bodies, or something.
 
Trevor's car came back. Well, I got the notice it had been impounded, I haven't been to pick it up yet.

Not sure why it took so long.

Passed out in his pants and about to be hit by a train was my favourite. :D
 
I'v just discovered the movie editor built into this, and wasted a few hours finding my inner film maker. It wasnt a feature of the old 360 version but on my replay on xbox 1, there it is, just like the pc version only not as good.
 
It's been £18 on Amazon today - but only through their own games library - which I want nothing to do with, so I'm hanging on for Steam's winter sale.
 
Starting replaying this on my new PC (in WDHD 144Hz & max settings ;)) having completed the PS3 version after it just came out. I forgot what a great game this is!

Anyone have problems playing it on Windows 10?

Indeed the graphics are ridiculous. Also I don't remember the stock car racing in the PS3 version?

That's the recent 'Cunning stunts' update isn't it, the older consoles aren't supported anymore.

Which, as a PS3 player, is annoying as it looks good fun :mad:
 
Good news and bad news...
Very pleased to report that i got a world record in a race, bad news is that it means I get a special tattoo, that i don't like...
 
Just started playing this again for the Xbox one instead of 360. It's ace, apart from the driving isn't as good as GTA 4. Or the characters.

Still, it's a fantastic game, better than 99% of stuff out there, even now.
