Can't wait for some decent DLC.

Hah, nice.

I was playing with two buddies, and I stole a Cargobob and started lifting random vehicles with them in them to obscene heights, then letting the vehicle fall.

I had what looked like a Jeep Grand Cherokee up above the damn clouds, dropped it, and so long as it landed on the tires, it was FINE.

Haven't been interested in this game in a while. But this video was amazing!

I've realized I like playing this game online when I'm drunk and then just acting like a giant ####### to everyone.

Has anyone else been playing Online lately?

I've actually been having a lot of fun, the few free DLCs have added quite a bit like way more cars (the Zentorno is awesome) and the ability to have 2 apartments/garages. I just bought a second garage out by Trevors airfield to have quick access to the mountains to go screw around in. You can also finally edit how the cars are arranged in your garages

The biggest draw for me has been user created missions though, there are some really fun races and deathmatches. I can play melee only deathmatches all day

I really hope they release some single player DLC soon, something akin to what they did with The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned for GTA IV.

This. I don't care about heists for online, give us a couple big single player expansions and I'll be very happy.

It'll only get better once it's released. See GTA IV:

It's just my opinion but I think that is a bad implementations of ENB and Icenhancer on Youtube. Saturation, gamma, and contrast are all cranked to ridiculous levels and it looks like other graphics settings like SSAO, depth of field, motion blur, shadows are all set to strange levels and the texture draw in distance is low as well. ENB and Icenhancer can look photorealistic if done right. This one looks cartoony. If you search on Youtube, it's hard to find a decent one. Most people don't seem to know what they are doing.

Regardless of graphics mod, what I am looking most forward to is the inevitable first-person mod. What's the point of a giant sandbox world to explore if you lose the immersion of exploration by being stuck in 3rd person?



Even more, crazy fan mods like one where a Tsunami hits Liberty City!


Or crazy ramp stunts with some first person.

That was the most decent I could find without spending a day doing it, but my point is that there's plenty of opportunity for the mod coders to come in and push the envelope.

I tried GTA IV on my 360 while my One was downloading an update, wow, it's almost unplayable once you're used to GTA V. The controls feel awful compared to V.

Last December we reported that actress and controversy magnet Lindsay Lohan had called her lawyers about the inclusion of a character with her likeness in the blockbuster video game Grand Theft Auto V.

Now Lohan has filed suit against Take-Two Interactive and subsidiary publisher and developer Rockstar Games, the maker of GTA V.

The suit claims that the character Lacey Jonas is an “unequivocal” reference to Lohan, depicting everything from her likeness to her clothing line to the Chateau Marmont hotel where Lohan once lived.

Suing over a parody seems ridiculous to me

It's not just that, I can't think of any big similarity between the two anyway. If the character in the game had crashed her car in a drunken wreck, than maybe that'd be a start.

LL must be running out of money for drugs. Hope it gets thrown right out.

It's no more similar than the Life Hacker guy who had his head blow off is to Zuckerberg, or Madd Dogg is to Snoop Dog

We're about 4 weeks out (possibly 2 weeks depending where you look) of the release for GTAV on the next gen consoles.

Do any CPers have insight on trade in programs or a way to get a discount on the new release? All of my searches have come up short of any real information.
