Grand Theft Auto V
Blyss:
Relatively certain that V is going to at least surpass IV in sales. If it hasn't already.

This is my first GTA since I played barely an hour of GTA 3 and had fun with the flying tank exploit... (go forward, aim the barrel behind you and keep firing = flying tank). I'm more on the Saints Row side of things so this game annoyed me a lot during the first hour.
Couldn't start stuff with the cops.. die in one hit, tried to powerslide and every time the car spun completely around, the first missions were boring as hell and especially the fact that if you find any sweet jumps in a motorcycle sometimes it'll just kill you because you're too high or you didn't land *perfectly*. BUT after that and especially the online... it is quite fun.
Online - look for the missions Top Fun I, II and III and Extradition. Extremely fun missions.. jets with cannons and lock on missiles, although the helicopters are another thing. I can't pilot those to save my life.. they'll always keep swerving/rocking side-to-side whenever I pilot them. I'm MUCH MUCH better in jets then anything. It took a bit of getting used to that anyone in the same session can just roll up and kill you for no reason.
Here's a tip.. whenever you get money (however you get it) *IMMEDIATELY* open your phone and go to Internet -> Money and Services -> Maze Bank -> Deposit -> (click the button that says all the money you have) after that it's basically risk free; except for the medical bills which are pretty negligible.
It's also nice that you can put a tracker and insurance on your vehicle, that way if it ever gets "stolen" (Why would it? Just use the select menu and change Vehicle Access to No One or Crew + Friends and no random can get in it) or blown up/destroyed, just call Mors Mutal and pay $200 and your vehicle is back :)
tl;dr - Kind of annoying in the first bits and takes some getting used to but it is extremely fun, go buy it now :)

I get my home internet back on the 23rd, and the online portion of this is the first thing I'm playing!
Hoowah! :evil:

Ok.. my attitude has completely changed from my experiences last night...
I'm just extremely fed up with it; 4 weeks after the game came out and it still isn't working correctly. There is no way to veto a vote if you are the host of a room. So eventually you'll end up with people hijacking the room and replaying the shortest mission possible constantly to get money the fastest and the only way to stop that is to leave the room which then makes you wait 5-10 minutes while it loads and then eventually times out.
Join Friends and Join Crew Members have never worked. You could look at your friends list and KNOW that they are playing online or Show Crew Members in the game and it'll show them online and it STILL won't find any games with friends/crew members. Trying to manually join friends by selecting their name and clicking "Join Game" only works about 3 out 10 times. The friends list outside the game will show them playing Online but, go into the game and it will say they are playing story mode. If it's actually correct, you have about a 1 in 5 chance of it actually connecting and not timing out/failing to join the session or some other error. One more thing on this topic, if you're voting on the next mission with a bunch of friends and you all chose to go back to freemode to screw around for awhile, it will split all of you up in different sessions EVERY TIME without fail.. unless it actually fails and forces you back to the story mode.
I for one, am glad that I didn't buy this game and instead only "rented" it from gamefly. It's pretty sad that Duke Nukem Forever had shorter load times than this game. You start the game up and you have to wait 5 minutes for it to load story and then another 5-10 minutes if it decides to connect to online. Sure, you could try to load online from the start but chances are, it won't work.
I've never had a good feeling after playing a rockstar game. They do live up to their company name though.. they are all flashy and "look what we have now" but then when you actually get to play it... most of it is crap and it doesn't work.
tl;dr again.. Rockstar can eat it. Some of the missions are fun if you can get away from all of the people replaying the same boring mission endlessly.
Method of Madness:
Did you not play the actual story mode at all?
