No tips as such, and it is immense as you say, wish I was playing it for the first time again. Its such a fully imagined world, a real work of art.
Oh, one tip, if you do online set it to free aim as the lobbies are not so filled with squeaking kids trying to run up and gun you down.

Not bothered about online gaming - too many wankers/obsessive nerds.
 
ha ha - just blew up a thinly disguised mark zuckerburg. And had to close down someone's porn pop ups on their work pc as part of the scenario. I was stoned off my gord and laughing like a drain at the thought of my other half coming in and demanding to know what the fuck i was up to. ("its not what it looks like - honest!") love it. the game is an amazing piece of work.
not come across any of the misogyny that some have highlighted - thought that was much more to the fore in previous versions.

I think the misogyny accusations are based in the fact you can be violent against female NPCs in the game. And in isolation the footage of a man stamping on a woman in the street looks bad, but those moaners obviously have never played the game.
 
Really enjoying this but am finding it hard to remember the controls, my muscle memory is still on "Fallout 4" so I often make Franklin tumble out of his car at high speed while trying to access his phone!

Don' think I've given upon any missions next, oh except Trevor and the clowns as that bored me, but some have taken me quite a while - Trevor's first rampage for instance. I am also either brilliant at driving or so hilariously inept that I make both myself and Mr.QofG's cry with laughter as I spin into oncoming traffic for seemingly no reason

My favourite inept moment, however, was after climbing a crane to successfully assassinate a window cleaner Franklin turned round and fell straight off the crane to his death :D
 
I actually was put off it because I found San Andreas really tedious. Is it worth a punt?
 
It's better than any of the previous titles in the series, none of which I managed to finish. This one however is in a different league as far as games go.

San Andreas had so much travel it was like some kind of hellish real-time commuting game.

Oh fuck yes, near the end there's a mission on totally the other side of the map and it can take a good 15-20m to drive there.

I see GTA V is still pretty pricey second hand, is there alot of DLC?
 
Just bought it again on ps4 this time. I've started a new game playing in first person perspective. Well see how that goes :)
 
Just bought it again on PS4 purely for the online stuff ( £24.99 in the playstation sale ), then after a couple of drinks the other night bought 2x great white shark cards ( £7.99 each from cd keys, compared to £11.99 on the ps store ) that got me 2.5 million in the bank, bought an apartment a couple of nice cars and a motor cycle club house which I'm not really sure what to do with. need to get a crew together but dont have many friends with GTV on the ps network

If you want to grind some cash do the LTS missions in the quick job option on ya phone. The kuruma is an essential car, souped up with extra armour and engine whatsits
 
Also to do the online heists and missions it might be worth trawling any online forums for people to do they with. Los Santos really is a hive of scum and villainy - and that's just the other online players.

95% of people on there will literally kill you on sight . And if you do missions or heists with randoms there's a high chance they'll troll the mission or just leave halfway through so it immediately kicks you out
 
Yeah I've found that with the heists but am starting to get to grips with things and earning a few dollars , there seems to be so much to do , I've lost quite a few hours to it
 
Anyone still playing this online? I got it on PC in a humble bundle sale and when I logged into my rockstar account, my old username was still registered as well as saying I was still in the U75 Clan so if anyone still fancies a game, give me a shout.
