You know what game was 100% serious and totally owned? Red Dead Redemption.

gently caress, it sucks so hard that it won't ever come to PC, was it ever stated why they didn't port it over like they did with every other major R* game?

I will never understand people who attack GTA's plot but then give RDR a pass. The majority of the fun I had in that game was in spite of the story, not because of it. There's only so many times you can watch John Marston work for a bunch of assholes who've given him the vague promise of later assistance only to gently caress him over that you start to wonder if he has some kind of learning disability.

Yeah, I never got how Franklin couldn't just kill both at the end. He and lester talk about it being impossible but I can't fathom how. Along with all the other references about what you said. Maybe it's just because Trevor is the only really interesting personality.

Is there a way to get the camera to stop re-centering itself when you are driving? i want a slightly higher view when i'm driving because the default chase cam is too low to see whats going on right in front of your car but as soon as you let go of the stick it sinks right back down.

There's an option somewhere where the vehicle cam will be high instead of low

Pretty sure there's an option to change the default chase cam height.

Why is this a running joke? They did it twice. Technically once, because Team Bondi are the ones who made L.A. Noire.

Is anyone else getting a super-irritating bug where the PS4 version resets all your settings upon launch? It even gives me the "calibrate brightness" prompt when I start it. The save file is fine, but I have to tell it to re-invert the aim, go to Standard FPS controls, etc...

I had it happen once, and actually thought my save was corrupted, so I had quit out and I just deleted my save data and downloaded my cloud save, since I had only played online at that point, I lost nothing. It did scared the poo poo out of me though, good to hear it doesn't actually mess with the save data.

I just got done playing GTAO and I just had trevor hitting a meth pipe and the world around him appeared buzzing or fuzzy, with a slight green hue. This is something I have never seen before in GTA. Kind of amazing to see, though I guess not entirely out of the picture given how Trevor mentioned he prefers the meth over the weed, and Franklin can smoke weed at him anyways.

I was in the previous gen too, but yeah it isn't often it happens (for me at least) I did catch it on ps4 though too, the colours were amazing.

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

I haven't played since the game originally launched on 360 and thinking about getting back into it on ps4, however for the online portion can you still have people with auto-target play against people with manual aim? It always bugged me because auto-target people had a massive advantage over people who want to actually aim.

If you want to actually aim wait for the pc version and use a mouse.
In the mean time, I think there's separate playlists for masochists.

Free Aim against other players in GTA:O is fine. It's the AI that are cheating bastards (They still have Sniper Pistols).
Hell, it's preferable to play on Free Aim (Auto Aim and Free Aim don't mix. You get a message saying if you switching between the two) because you can actually drive less armoured cars and motorbikes without getting auto-aimed off by peeps on the street.

Ooh thank you. I actually avoided the PC release for so long because of this. Does it fix the thing where you can't control the camera with the right stick?
If not, it looks like I'm still stuck with the iPhone version with my PS3 controller

Yes, it works perfect as far as i can tell.

I had some trouble getting it to run.. just follow this guide to the letter. I had thought i didn't need to downgrade my version since it was already 1.00, but it turned out I in fact needed to and that solved my troubles.

I think that lobbies should only be split between third person with traditional aiming, and forced first person with freeaim.

Also you should be able to choose the aiming mode you want in mission settings and freeaim should have a higher payout.

So I bought this again on PS4. For some reason the DLC code gave all 500,000 to Franklin so Michael is broke, none of the custom cars I made saved in the garage I bought, outfits not saving...I'm off to a really fun start here. In general I forgot how loving stupid and fun hating this games economy is.

Your aiming mode in online missions is tied to your free roam aiming mode, as far as I know. The overpowered AI makes freeaim a pretty grim choice. First person mode just has this lovely Killzone feeling to it where the deadzone is the wrong size and the aim acceleration is way too high.

I'm trying to like first person mode but it's always just going to be a first person camera in a third person game. Stuff like navigating stairwells, flying planes, and climbing up stuff is somewhere between frustrating and impossible, but the weapon scopes and the fact that your view changes color with sunglasses are both pretty cool.

If you want to jump through some hoops you could get a pre-1.04 version installed and then exploit the stock market. The game is much more fun(especially a second time) when you don't have to worry about money.

Yes, before 1.04 you can just buy and then immediately sell Lifeinvader stock for millions of dollars.
