webmeister posted:I actually find the motion smoothing stuff works OK for games The biggest problem with the motion smoothing stuff is the amount of input lag it causes -- your TV can't even begin to draw frame 1 until it's already received frame 2 and generated the in-between frame. You can typically see input lag more than double, up in in the hundreds of milliseconds vs 30-40 for game mode. frumpsnake fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Oct 9, 2013 |

Answers Me posted:At what point are you able to do the epsilon missions? Do they come in after the main story has finished or have I missed them somehow? I have to think there's some thing that directs you to the website that I missed. They emailed Franklin out of the blue who cannot do their missions. They're on talk radio as well. After I started the missions I got a blue dot encounter with a follower in LS as Michael. He just congratulates you. I wonder if I had triggered that earlier it would have been different dialogue about taking the test.

They're on talk radio as well. That's a different thing. There's a completely separate cult that emails Franklin, and a completely different reward for him for doing it. Michael will also get an email or text at some point taking him to the website, but you can just search for Epsilon and do it yourself at any point as him, and the mission will pop up when it's ready.

Yeah, I randomly heard about it on the Internet and ended up doing it a little bit after Trevor becomes playable. Not sure if that's the earliest you can do it or not.

Anyone else have an issue with the camera when you're driving? I feel like it's too low so that the car I'm in obstructs to view ahead of me - especially when driving uphill. Pushing 'Select' will make the camera go farther back but the angle issue is still there. When I push the right analog stick up just a few inches it's perfect, but as soon as I start driving the camera goes back to default unless I hold the analog stick, which is pretty difficult. Is there any way to lock in the camera view that I like so I don't have to hold the stick?

ElwoodCuse posted:Only Michael has expensive properties and they cost 1/10 of the money cap Yeah it's not that big of a deal since the properties are worthless anyway, but it's definitely an oversight when the most expensive properties are only an order of magnitude less than the money cap, and the only way to reach that point is to use the stock market to increase your money exponentially. By time you can afford the expensive properties you're only a few stock trades away from overflowing the variable. I think they must have shifted normal money making things to online late in development because the thing with only making money on like 3 missions in the entire game and then having to use the clunky stock trading interface for the rest is really weird.

 Heads up: Version 1.03 patch is out now (on PS3 at least). 39MB. No patch notes yet, but users who have already updated have mentioned that it disables R2/RT mission replay after completing a mission in GTA:Online.

Chard posted:^^^ in Settings somewhere there is an option for Camera Height, it is default to Low and should be at High. Makes a world of difference. People should be aware that this setting can be pretty annoying when you are driving through tunnels or under overpasses, as the POV will often swing down to a worse position than the default Low setting. I have to keep a thumb on the look button when going through tunnels, and since the view distance is further back (and thus higher) on larger vehicles, driving down the highway can be annoying because your POV is dodging signs and overpasses so often.

Incoming Chinchilla posted:Man they really mad this game hard to have fun in. Every time I try something interesting the game ruins it. Want to derail a train? Nope. Want to steal a 747? 3 star wanted level for entering the airport and the plane explodes if it slightly touches anything. Want to have a car chase against the cops? Get sniped from a mile away by a guy in a helicopter while driving 100mph down a highway. If you buy the hanger you don't get the wanted level for entering the airport. It's not a lot of money either, I think it's about 1.2m or so. I also learned that you can run over the cop cars with the 747, that just makes the whole exploding thing worthwhile. I just wish you could invite your friends into a storymode private session or whatever so you could have fun with all your high-end cars or that at least they didn't disappear forever when you leave them or they explode. I don't like having to spend about 1.4m to re-buy and re-upgrade my classic cars. I'm also fairly upset that they decommissioned the Aston Martin. Baron FU posted:Holy poo poo that's the dumbest thing.

Is anyone else having problems with the stock market after Lester's first mission for Franklin? I did it the first time around without reading anything in advance and once I realized the Betta Pharmaceuticals stock goes up 80% I reloaded an old save file and made sure to buy stock on all three characters instead of just Franklin. I passed the mission 100% the exact same way as before but now Betta has only gone up 4% over maybe 10+ in game days, while the competitor who should be dropping is up 17%. The news headlines and all that even say "BET skyrocketing" etc except it's barely moved at all.

Does the Altruist cult reset? I delivered enough hitchhikers for them to bring me in, killed them all, and now after the end-game they're showing up again as an option for Trevor. Killing them was somewhat profitable, curious if I'd get to do that over again.

Soooo is my game hosed? It hangs up on the loading screen, and doesn't fade between character drawings. I've tried: - installing disc to HD, copies fine, using HD and USB to play - moving install data from USB stick to HD, using disc and HD - deleting and reinstalling install data to USB - playing a different game on my Xbox, works fine What else should I do? I figure my last two options are delete my auto save file (?). I don't know though because I feel like that wouldn't hang it up. Tonight in going to try deleting the patch update and playing. Then I guess last resort is get a new disc from Best Buy. Fuccckkkk I just want to check my stocks and make a backup cashed out save.

CVagts posted:What are the best helicopter/plane for bridge flying and knife flights? I have more than enough money if it requires buying the plane/helicopter. The stunt plane is the best for knife flights. For under the bridges, I used a Buzzard. Some of the openings you have to fly through are pretty low/narrow, so you want a small helicopter. Speaking of which, if you rub the bridge/ground/water/sides with the vehicle, you may fail even if you make it under. Try again till you get a clean pass rather than assuming that you’ve already flown under that particular bridge and don‘t remember it. There was one bridge I could only do in a plane. Specifically, one of the Elysian Island lift bridges. Platystemon fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Oct 9, 2013 |

Some of the vehicle inspirations on igta5.com seem off. For instance the Carbonizzare makes me think of the Ferrari 599 more than a Nissan GT-R. Not the fastest ride, but one of my favorites. I was kind of bummed to find after buying the customs shop you don't free upgrades from all the locations.

So did Rockstar nerf the stock market at some point? There's all the videos of just sleeping and waiting for good prices but now the stock market "never" moves in Story Mode, and I've gone to the bed (I don't save and time still goes forward) and...same prices after at least 10 times. I wanted to start a new game and go through with a finer approach. Also I tried looking at the drug shootout/weed farms but they're not available yet at the point I'm at. I have saved too to see if that was the difference but nope

No one can know when they'll crash, maybe PIS will end up getting back to around $150, which would be insane.

Some of these jumps, fellows. That one at the docks, where you jump onto the warehouse roof? Yeah, excuse my language but sod that for a game of soldiers. You may be laughing Rockstar, but you gave me an out this time! I was struggling to decide which has the worst jumps, this or Vice City. I think this one takes the cake, at least Vice City often gave you it if you at least hit the target. And I've encountered the bug where the radio stops working.
