The Blimp codes aren't woking yet probably because the store is overloaded.
JEngledow GTA V won't be cheaper for many a month not weeks and even then it'll be small price drop.
Having not had a games console since the first Sega Mega Drive and having seen those Tesco GTA V deals on the other page, is the Xbox deal or the Playstation a better option?

Fair enough, but it doesn't matter now as I've got a copy, but not the memory 🙁
damn you all 😉
i think i can live off of beans on toast for a few weeks (won't be able to help myself,buying the game on thursday at tesco's,as it seems the cheapest high street shop that sells it).am VERY excited about getting it/playing it now.
p.s what is the issue about not installing the play disc on 360 version?
And we're installing.....
p.s what is the issue about not installing the play disc on 360 version?
The game engine, on the Xbox at any rate, has been designed to stream content using the maximum system bandwidth available. This means that to have textures and assets displaying to the best of the Xbox ability, the game streams content from 2 sources. These being the HD (the installed install disc) and the Disc drive (the play disc). If you install both discs to the HD then the game is trying to pull x2 the content from x1 source, thus creating a bottleneck. Which gives rendering issues.
Early experiments are showing you could get round this by installing the Play Disc to a USB drive. This would, at the very least, cut down on the disc noise. Texture issues may remain if the USB drive has a crap controller on it.
ah cheers jamie 🙂
will try the usb option to see if it works when i get the game.
So the guy was basically mugged but also happened to have GTA on him at the time? Not exactly a result of the game...is there no news or good news to bother reporting?!
Spent 80 dollars on a stripper called Sapphire and ended up back at hers for 'coffee', now she's a contact on my phone and just sent me a dirty text 😀

This is a thread about GTA V
Jengledow, if I were buying now I'd get a ps3 slim. Next gen consoles will be out soon and the ps3 will make a great bd player and media centre, as it's basically silent.
So far in the game I just headed foe the top of the big mountain, after a couple of missions. Coolest thing so far is looking through the telescope at the world below, and seeing traffic moving in the distant roads...
First chopper stolen- heading to the airport...sure that wont go badly...
EDIT - Turn out Los Santos PD have no issues shooting a chopper out of the sky above a freeway...
Think I've found the one. Just got home and the misses has just presented me with it. Says she's gonna be revising and it'll keep me out of her way. 😀
Me 1 - Aliens 0
Who's still playing? I have not met the aliens yet... Struggling to join rockstar social club currently.
Time for bed or one more mission?
Favourite bit so far is bunny hopping over cars on the BMX.
Found the mtb hire place but it's closed.
Got my Hard drive its only 10 gig but it will be enough I hope. Gotta hunt for the game tomoz. Where's cheapest?
i found someone riding one in the hills to the east of the city, so naturally I knocked him off it and took it for a spin. He shouted something like 'fu buddy i'm calling the police' and 10 seconds later (just as i'd figured out how to move) I was being chased by two police cars. 10 seconds after that I was knocked off, shot and in the hospital. It seems bike theft is taken seriously in Los Santos!Found the mtb hire place but it's closed.
bwfc: I'm not sure but I think someone mentioned Tesco... Worth a look anyway.
What. A ****in. Game. 😀
+1 on the beard.
Got in car, dressed in running shorts and Talons.
Started driving to hill.
Passed Tesco superstore.
Turned car around and wandered into Tesco in running kit, looking for GTAV.
Completely delighted when i found they had stock left.
Went home, opened beer, played GTA, still in running gear.
That's incredibly effective marketing IMO! 🙂
I didn't do many missions, I spent most of my time trying to colour in the map, and trying to get gigantic air from mountain tops.
I have to wait in for a parcel today.
I. AM. GUTTED.
*fires up xbox*
Played for an hour or so last night, really just got myself through the intros and a couple of little missions. Familiarised myself with the place.
Of course, my wife walked in just as I was sneaking around a house (Michaels) and a boy said 'I don't care if you're 12, I'm still going to rape you'. Ummm..
Liking it though. The aiming system is great, car driving feels good, motorbike riding not so good but I like how the screen leans over.

As a runner, listen out for the barefoot shoe advert on the radio. Very funny.
lol @ crell
Lovin the game so far but then I'm a closet low down seedy rotten scumbag so it seems to have been made with me in mind 😀
I found a huge quarter pipe you can drive at going full speed. The Baja Beetles are brilliant.
Does anyone else find the cops a little keener than previous games? I seemed to spend the first 2 hours of the game (outside of any missions) on the run for pretty minor incidents (well, minor by GTA standards)
Cops are way more agressive but you can hide from them pretty easily unless theres a chopper after you.
It seems to take longer to lose a single star, I think. Although they may be more eagle-eyed, or maybe bystanders are calling them - I plugged some wise-ass mofo giving me attitude during a car jacking, and although there were no cops in sight I still got a star.
How many insane jumps have you all found? One so far for me.
You have to drive into alleyways or off the road a bit more to escape the police, the highways are full of them so only use them blasting out of there and then when you see gap in the barrier leap off then find a car park or alleyway to hide in.
Oh and if you quick and swap cars you can lose them quicker.
Note to self: Don't drive onto the Army base and try and steal a helicopter.
*Helloooooo A&E*
They got a bit angry when I flew over it in my jet, as the did the airfield and the prison but got away before they unleashed hell.
Of course, my wife walked in just as I was sneaking around a house (Michaels) and a boy said 'I don't care if you're 12, I'm still going to rape you'. Ummm..
Erm?! Wtf?! 😯
Can you just nick the jets etc or are they part of a mission?
Erm?! Wtf?!
If you're not familiar with the games, stuff like that is there as an indictment of the characters involved, and since everyone's like that, an indictment of modern society, particularly in the US. It's a very dark satire and it is distasteful at times but then so is real life. And the sentiment behind the series has actually been getting much more moralistic.
The problem is that not everyone sees it that way, of course.
Didn't have any plans to buy GTA5 yesterday, but stopped in at Tesco to get cereal, milk etc. Came away with GTA5 and no milk. Oh well.
Seems very good so far, done the first couple of missions and had a bit of drive around, and visited some of the sights. Like the way it doesnt mess around giving you a taxi or other crap car right from the off. The water looks incredible too. Unfortunately only got a couple of hours in before my cold caught up with me and had to go to bed 🙁
I stole a plane. And crashed it into the highest mountain.
And then found the cable car to the top of the mountain.
And a mountain bike.
And a parachute.
It didn't work out so well the first time- couldn't work out how to open the parachute.
Oops.
First thing I did was fling myself off the top of the mountain, but I toocoudn't work out the parachute opening bit. My first death.
Where do you steal planes from?

The tool shop? 😉
I went to LSIA to see if I could find a jet to rob, but I couldn't get into any and got my face shot in. 🙁
The early missions in these games are usually dull sedate affairs to get you used to the controls, but I've found the ones in GTAV to be much richer than usual. Only about five missions in and I've been in a bank robbery (the flashback), a shoot out with gangsters in an alleyway, a paparazzi chase of a limo and a wonderful pursuit of a boat being carried on a trailer. I'm also impressed that they don't seem to be holding the fun cars and stuff back until later in the game. All in all a great start to the game.
Erm?! Wtf?!
It's dark irony the guy is playing an online game locked in his dark bedroom and is being trolled by kids. It does parody of itself very well.
Damn you all. I wasn't going to get this game but I stupidly opened this thread. I've also been feeling rough today so I had to pop out to the pharmacy [s]Tesco[/s] to get some medication [s]buy the game[/s] and now I'm just clock watching until I finish work this evening. 😕
Well, if you're feeling rough, maybe head home early? You don't want to make anyone else at work ill. 🙂
Last one to catch it so can't use that excuse! 🙁
From the Daily Mash [i]article[/i] on predatory Wife Stealers...
Malley’s girlfriend Mary Fisher said: “This morning the milkman was wearing loads of Blue Stratos and read me a poem about a rose.“Meanwhile my boyfriend is upstairs yelling ‘In this one you can fly a helicopter through a building!’
Superb. LOL. 🙂
I know its not strictly cricket, but I couldnt help trying out some of the [url= http://uk.ign.com/wikis/gta-5/Cheats_and_Secrets ]CHEAT[/url]
codes... 🙂
**Stone me at will.
I've now got a 16GB Memory Stick so can run the game, I just need to get through the rest of the working day 😡
Found the Pinarello-esque "Whippet" road bike. Jumped off a massive railway bridge into the river below, looked like he was gonna do some awesome dive. No, just died.
Oo - oo. Whilst riding a BMX to the airport, I bunnyhopped a wall to find a massive drop on the other side into the storm drain system. Rode that sucker out. 8)
Took a road bike from the hire shop. Put my helmet on. Then got wiped out [s]with[/s] by a semi.
There's a lesson in there somewhere.
Is the hire shop near the cable car the only place?
I think I've found every freaking mountain lion in this game now.
Went to get revenge with the shotgun. Snuck up close to one 'Click' no ammo.
Face eaten.
😥

GTA is one of the only games where cheats are part of the mess about aspect of the game, IMO. In San Andreas they'd mess up your save files if you used them (and then saved the game) so make sure you have seperate 'clean' and 'cheat' saves to avoid any annoyance later!
Just got F1 2012.
Bet you are all well jealous.
Now proud owner of a plane...recon flights over everything to now find the choppers and get on the blimp.
How'd you get that? 😀
And where? 😀

Can you simply have friends on the social club, rather than crews? If so, this thread needs the hand of cyberfriendship extended.
Chuck does that work on 5 as well as 4 then?
I fear tonights Beaver Scouts session will go very very slowly... 🙁

There's one on the beach too, did a mission as Michael which involved hiring a bike. Took the MTB which had been ruined by mud guards!
I was thinking about getting this later in the year before I am layed up for two weeks after an op but I want it now. God dam it!
Beaver Scouts session
It is a lot easier during the summer when it's all skirts and bikinis.
I think I have done 2 missions, the last one being when Michael becomes playable.
All the rest is nicking planes and crashing them into mountains.
Note to self: Buy a parachute.

I've not tried it yet, I read it on a forum today. Will try it tonight.

No idea, but I'm on there with the same username. Feel free to add/befriend/connect/whatever it is you do with the social club.
Hmm has to be done via email or one of the other networks ie FB or PSN.
My copy of GTA arrived early, on Monday afternoon.
I work offshore, went offshore for two weeks on Monday morning 🙁
i havent read every post and i dont even know if my question has been asked/answered.
What are the chances of GTAV coming out on XBOX1/PS4?
theres leaked code on the web and 'apparently' it relates to PS4 version BUT i guess they aint going to release it on the new consoles so close to the release of the old gen ones?
i got shot of my PS3 last year (lost job so needed cash) im tied wether to get another PS3 for christmas WITH GTAV or do i get a PS4 and WAIT?
Cheers
Will the PS4 not be back compatible?

I imagine GTA V will be available as digital download to the next gen consoles.
The big skyscraper under construction in centre of the city
Yea you can base jump off the crane on top of it 🙂
Time for the evening shift.
I stole a plane from the airport, btw.
Ammunation wont sell me a parachute. Guess I got to do some missions...
There's a parachute at the top of the tower crane.
Climbing back down the bloomin thing would be boring though.
Find an empty bit of ground & B, B, LB, B, B, B, LB, LT, RB, Y, B, Y will get you a chopper, landing on the crane might be tricky. 🙂
There are sharks in the sea. Big man eaters.
