Grand Theft Auto V: Los Santos

Myranda

Last GTA that I played more than a few minutes of at a friends place was GTA2, so I might... I might not

Turns out it's cheaper on PSN than in shops here. The car handling and shooting are both much better than any of the previous GTAs...

Still waiting for the postie

I need to finish Resonance of Fate and Sleeping Dogs first. I don't do well with having too many games on the go at the same time.

Piff! 

I still need to finish Deus Ex and Skyrim... 

and Dirt3 

and Grid2

and SSX

and Dishonoured (on the last mission of that, at least..!)

and Assassin's Creed 3...

(PS Plus gets Far Cry 3 next month- great game for anyone who hasn't already had it.)

I gave up on Assassin's Creed 3. They somehow sucked all the joy out of it with that one.

I've only played about an hour of it and it just seems like busy work in the extreme. 

Walk to this yellow dot, now walk to this one, don't go over there.

...now do a stupid mini-game... rinse... repeat...

Haven't even taken Dishonoured out of the wrapper. Such is my lack of me time

Not got the game yet but it looks pretty good so a must buy for me.

This is a bit of a worry though, apologies BBC links ahead.

A wee bit on the hardcore side, nasty fuckers.

I've never played a GTA- what am I missing out on?

Satire of modern pop culture stuff

Robbing banks. Lots of heist missions in this one apparently.

Shooting bad guys.

Shooting good guys. 

Shooting guys who're good at heart but gone down the wrong path and screwing up their lives, or something. 

Stealing cars, driving cars, crashing cars. 

Ditto with bikes, fire trucks, tanks, planes etc. 

Loads of minigames- I haven't found them all yet but I'm excepting golf, tennis, bowling, darts, pool as a minimum

So who's got it then? Might pick one up at the weekend.

The weed/aliens mission was worth the freezing 2 hour wait alone.

Oh piss. That's me at the shops at the weekend then.

haha just got a nice money bonus for Franklin some time after I returned a stolen bike to someone in one of those random missions. Helping others can be a good thing sometimes in GTA!

QUAD BIKES!! I'd forgotten how much fun those and the dirt bikes are in GTA.

Just done my first bit of flying too

Have you done the acid skydive yet?
