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





Have you done the acid skydive yet? 

Not yet, but every time I use a plane on here I feel like I've been taking acid for real.

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

Just done my first bit of flying too

The quad's are rather awesome!

Have you tried making it down Mount Chiliad on one of the bikes at the top yet? Frakkin hard! Make sure to pick up the parachute next to the cable car shed though first... might come in handy if you make a wrong turn!

I'm getting my flying stats up pretty well, although I've not touched the missions very much so the flight school doesn't appear to have shown up at the airport just yet.

Mine just arrived in the post so tonight I will do some reckless drunk driving.

There's a trip with clowns as well for Trevor. Still giggling at that one!

Not got that far yet (just arrived in Los Santos with Trevor), but I have to say I'm enjoying it a lot more than I expected to.

LOVE Trevor.

LOVE Michael.

LOVE CJ, er.........., I mean Franklin.

Trevor is basically Jack Nicholson.... it's all I can see when he's on-screen.

There are also a pile of odd easter egg things going on in it, references to other games, sunken UFOs, frozen aliens, off your tits missions and real UFOs if you 100% is. 

I'd have to agree that Trevor is by far the best character, he's fucking nuts!

Lesson learned this evening: the safe distance from a row of trucks rigged with sticky bombs is greater than you might think.

Anyone going to play this online when it's enabled?

Shall we start a fretboard crew?

I finished the story earlier, just trying to do the 100% now.

shobet

I'll be spending more than a healthy amount of time on the online version when it becomes available. 

Has anyone managed to get enough cash to buy the golf club yet?

Absolutely. I have the most Jack Torrance-like haircut and clothing for him too

I have a theory that Michael represents Tommy Vercetti, Franklin is CJ and Trevor is the average GTA player incarnate- completely unhinged and happy to get knee-deep in chaos at every opportunity..!

Isn't tomorrow when it goes live?

I've set up a crew but I'm happy to rethink/join a forum one? Mine's here for anyone interested;

best to back up people!

I tried getting online but after creating a character it kept timing out.

stickyfiddle

I'm backed up to PS+ but I won't be trying it until these reports go away!

Been playing this for a little while. Am I the only one that wishes you could turn off the swearing? Or at least limit it to every third word rather than every second? There are some sentences which seem to be entirely composed of swear words. Being Scottish, I am the first to admire some expert swearing but this game is just silly.

wibble

Wouldn't be very gangster without any swearing!

Not saying there shouldn't be any...but does every second word have to be fuck? At first I thought it was funny but now it's just annoying.

stickyfiddle

It's only like that at the very beginning. The "ghetto" language backs off a lot once you meet all 3 characters.

(Not being snarky, for once)

You can kill lots and lots of whores.
