Ababa the road rage.

Sideswiped a car, and it starts chasing me. Decided to stop and fight the dude, but then the whole god damn neighborhood came after me. Musta been in the ballad hood or something.

Launch day sales managed to generate around $800 million and ends up beating out last year's top game (Black Ops II) by around $300 million.

For comparisons, GTA IV's launch day did around $300 million in sales.

You can shoot the birds out of the sky. That is all.

Pretty sure I'm never passing the flight trials.

<font color=goldenrod>Only played the prologue and first mission so far. Just been driving the fuck around checking out the map. Probably won't dive fully into this until the weekend when I've got more time.</font>

I like the mini gun. Unlocked an assault rifle, fully upgradable, for free, no idea how, I'm assuming from the shooting range.

Surprisingly enjoyed tennis, even though I barely know the rules.

Gold medal on all finally for me. Helicopter flying challenges suckkkkkkkkkkk.

What do you get for gold medaling them?

Finally? It's only been out two days.

More money I assume.

Finished it, last mission was a bit easy and there was only one new mission unlocked after finishing it which involves looking out for a van that's not marked on the radar. Hopefully there's a few more side missions after that.

Possible spoiler for anyone who doesn't want to know about the cool things that happen around the city and would rather find them out themselves.

Just started playing as Trevor and

The visuals are quite stunning. For some reason I keep getting mauled by big cats.

Can someone explain what I'm missing with the numbers under the characters on the select wheel? I thought it was number of missions available but the number seems off to me. Oftentimes there's a 1 next to someone when there isn't anything left to do. What is the activity I'm missing?

I haven't figured that out yet.

They claim it's number of missions, but you just said that doesn't seem right, so I don't know.

Had an interesting thing happen.

In a Trevor mission, I managed to land "perfectly," and was at a complete stop, when I heard a crunch and got a fission mailed screen because the plane was "too badly damaged."

Because I suck at flying, it took me like five tries to land it again. Maxed out Trevor's flight skill, at least.

I think it is missions, including the "?" missions

Yeah it's number of missions. Franklin's is off by 1 after a certain point because of the spaceship part hunting mission.

According to Digital Foundry who did the earlier Xbox 360 tests and found out about the install problems, the digital version on the PS3 has the same issues and also varies depending on the HDD size.

So far it seems just the disc-based PS3 version doesn't have any big noticeable issues.

Didn't take long but copies and malware versions of GTA's iFruit app have started to show up on the app stores. The latest being an app called "iFruit GTA Grand Theft Auto" which was discovered to be nothing more than malware software.

I seem to die a lot more in firefights as Trevor which is funny, considering his special.

Love the psychotic bastard, though.

Trevor is more than likely a commentary on the average shooting gamer.

You don't say.

Just started playing today. Super Fun Good Time

tennis is surprisingly fun, loving the game overall so far.....

Now that I think about it, its only been Franklin's number that's off so I guess you're right. Is it fixabke? I have nothing on the map showing me where to search for parts.

We are so taking a road trip when this game drops. Full circle around the map, taking pictures of sights (if we can online), buying at least one item from every shop we pass, the works. Just a non-violent trip in one vehicle.

Checked all parts of the map? Sometimes a character you wouldn't expect has something all the way across the map. It's including all the freaks and geeks and the missions.


Idk, it's always been accurate for me.

I like Tennis, but I've only played it with Mike. Every time he boasts, I want to go to the golf game, grab a nine iron, and shove it down his throat.

I should try it with someone else....

Assuming that mission is what is screwing up the count, it appears to be a collectable mission. SIGH

There's an achievement for getting all the parts, so yes it is.

Did the fastest circuit of the map I could. Took around 14.5 minutes

Only just made it to L.S. with Trevor, didn't quite get how big his part of the map was until I left it.

Fucking mountain lions

WOW. I have literally never played a mission in a GTA game that made me feel like a huge sack-of-$#@* loser before this game's mission By the Book. I was such a disgusted blubbering bastard @ the things Trevor did (never mind the demented cheap thrill he got) that I actually Quick Saved and stopped playing to recover emotionally.

I won't spoil anything here, but I will say this particular mission is
NOT for the faint of heart.
