FOV is like the most important option in a game like this, and I will build my other graphics settings around it.

This article says the FoV is customisable:

In the comments of that PC gamer article, someone says that the FoV slider is in camera or controls in the console version. I don;t like counting my chickens before they've hatched, but I am going to say that you can adjust your FoV.

Pre-loaded and hyped.

I wonder how they'll handle the existence of a traffic/pedestrian slider in GTAO.

We should do some heists together.

I stake my considerable reputation on the existence of an FoV slider in the PC version of GTA V.

If the steam version was maybe 45 nzd I would get it, but the nuuvem price is way too good to pass up when the NZ steam price is 90 nzd.

Preload complete... Right as the Xenoblade download finishes. What an extremely good couple of months this has been for gaming.

This game has 22 gb left for me, but the launcher says it's going to take 22 hours to complete at 2mbps...the math doesn't even add up.

Pause and restart the download

yeah this happened to me. then it said downloading at 9kbs for a while, which matched the length, then it jumped up.

spent ten hours downloading overnight and it still has five left. i mean it doesn't matter it will be done well before the 14th, but i'm actually impressed with rockstar social club not loving up somehow and maintaining good bandwith inbetween pauses.

anyway how do i know what FOV i want, I've never needed to adjust it in a game

You'll want as big as your computer can handle without loving up your fps.

Same.

i thought a really high FOV meant it would be like having eyes like a mon calamari and that there was an ideal middle spot or something. now that i'm thinking on it i'm surprised i've never needed to adjust it for any of the many PC fps games i've played over the years.

anyway, i have joined the corn gang as well, look forward to trying GTAO with imp zone.

The game will have a max and it's unlikely to go higher than is comfortable.

Took me almost a day. Big hangup was that I lost connection for a couple minutes during the night, and the launcher didn't automatically restart the download. :thumbsup:

The only reason it's exclusive is because people from Games are too scared to buy from there.
