Grand Theft Auto V

Holy shit this game is incredible.


I've been playing for hours and I haven't really accomplished anything.


Have any of you guys run into Packie McReary yet? That was awesome, I'm glad they brought some IV characters back.
 
The driving took me a little while to get used to. It's more realistic than GTAIV anyway.

Absolutely loving it so far. The map as huge and beautiful to move around in, and I'm really feeling the multiple protagonist thing. Played it for 6 hours straight and can't have done more than about 8 missions. Done my first heist %)
 
I just now got to Trevor for the first time.



Holy fuck he is awesome.

Spoilers for first time playing as Trevor (outside of you know what, if you want to be technical about it) :

NSFW:
What the fuck happened to Johnny? Least favorite GTA protag ever, anyways. TLAD was boring to me. Still, I don't know if he deserved all that. Trevor was doing him a kindness
 
"I don't give a fuck nigga, if you're listening to FlyloFM not only are you a bitch, but you're a bitch ass nigga too... ya nigga!"



lol I love this game... don't report me, I was just quoting a theatrical production :sus:




NSFW:
I also didn't like how it started out with Trevor.. I mean shit, a lot of people didn't like TLAD but he didn't deserve that :\ guess it just goes to show how badass Trevor really is if he does that to Johnny. If anyone hasn't figured it out, the 3 characters are meant to represent the 3 parts of the game. Trevor is the rampaging, crazy mother fucking killing in his underwear. Franklin is the dude rolling in a tricked ass ride with a nice house, and Michael is the more old school dude with no special powers
 
My first impression: I reject it and what it reflects.

I don't care for (I hate) what I heard about crushing a woman's sternum during sex, the person on the radio saying it. I don't really care how it was intended... I'd like to ... end whoever thinks there's any humor in that, and I want to get rid of the game for this kind of thing.

The first scene set the tone as corrupt and sick very well... And that's what I think about it.

Great looking game. Nice driving... But I just read a review that I agree with, saying it is ruined by the certain violence and sexism. ...I couldn't play for more than 20 minutes.

... This coming from a guy that used to love plowing over people in GTA 3 and going on killing sprees. It didn't feel as real. Look as real. This insane effort at shocking and offending just oozes of inexperience of the soul. I understand its meant satirical... But its crappy. It detracts from a potentially good game. Shooting all the cops, resonating (not being able to), made my heart sick.

Still, its a certain mirror perhaps. I just don't want to look at it. Just like I don't care to hang out on the streets in reality.

I may play around with the multiplayer when its available, but I may trade in or recycle the material, to purge my own soul of the blind support I paid.

I guess I wasnt blind. 4 made me feel like this. The multiplayer redeemed it for me, and exploring. But this game is just dark in the ways I don't care for. Shallow darkness. Darkness around money, material, and corruption around it. A positive reflection could be had, but I already know this stuff. Playing it feels like devolving... Being something I never want to be/don't want resonance with at all. I was testing the waters... But I guess I didn't expect much more.

Still, props for graphics and technical improvements. And fast cars. Maybe ramps I haven't seen. Cool ways to crash. This may keep me, for MP. But definite conflict.

It's called grand theft auto for a reason, and it's 2013.its not like you have seen movies with same subject matter I'f not worse

I can't understand people who bash the sexism of the game and brutality, cut its been done in movies so many times
 
So, just because it's been done, means it's okay to keep doing it?

I was mainly turned off, in the beginning, with the shooting of all of those cops. I know it's not real, but I've been tapped into something lately, and I found it- this game just wasn't congruent with what I wanted to resonate with.

Then the crazy use of the N-word, and right at the beginning, an example reflecting how Black people might (some, that use it) get offended and all crazy if a White person uses the word. Stereotypes.

You're right, it's "GTA". I guess... I don't resonate with it. I just loved stunts, crashing (and/or landing) in cool ways, flying around, multiplayer stuff. But "acting it out" as happens in the story mode, is another thing, that I just can't enjoy. I need to be able to get into a game. I need to be able to believe that it's something I might do, if it's going to simulate such real looking things.

I don't like that they paid gang members just so that they could be authentic, either. This almost turned me off from giving the game a chance... Like they're encouraging them.

But I don't know. I still may enjoy multi-player on 4, some of it, so I may enjoy this mp. No matter what it seems I'm going to be buying into some form of blood and corruption in this world, anyways, unless I just shut it all off and move to the desert and eat scorpions and lizards. I try to justify... But I might just leave this behind.

But as for movies... Most movies I see have more character than I saw in this. Still, I see a reflection that might be made positive, from the game. So I might give it another chance/suffer through for a second, before I make a final judgment on it, for myself. But I haven't been playing much of anything lately, anyways. I may decide I like it.

But... Still... I don't know how many times I'm going to be able to switch the channel on the radio to avoid hearing the bit about crushing a girl's sternum ("because they love that!"), during sex, and I don't feel like hearing it. Reading about it was enough/too much, and had the thought then that that was the final nail in the coffin for me, for this game. Not something I wished I threw money at. I doubt all of the developers/designers would disagree with me.

Edit: Tried playing again. I didn't even leave the house. Pain in sternum.

I'm offering up an alternative viewpoint other than "ZOMG VIDEOGAMZ cherrie grafix and animated boooooobs ! (salivates)" :), so I must be a pussy :\.

And I didn't mention anything about going to church... But I'm glad you got the message, somewhat.

What do you resonate with?
