Never played this one yet, just curious how much depth there is to doing side stuff and activities, like racing or golf for example, do they feel shallow, tacked on like in previous GTA's or do they compare to full games in themselves.
Was watching Lethal Weapon 2 for probably the first time in 20 years, and I noticed a familiar scene... Riggs using a truck to pull a support pole out from under a cliffside house.
Also whoever thought it was a good idea for cops to be able to see you through walls when you hid before they even got to the street you were on and then allow them to magically turn down the very side street you decided to try hiding down and behind a wall, seriously...this is not how you make good AI. It's like playing hide and go seek where you tell the seeker where you'll be before the game starts.
Yes, this is a problem with the police AI, but the alternative would be even worse I think. Police that completely lose you once you break the line of sight would be way too easy to escape from.
Ugh, not sure what I did wrong but I only got 18 mil per character on The Big Score. Thta was after dying like 12 times during the shootout, got tired of redoing it. Hopefully I can still work the stock market to buy up all the properties.
I mentioned the same thing earlier. It's a total failure. It means that if you briefly elude the cops and drive half a mile away you'll still quickly find a strong concentration of cops magically coming to your position. Also appears that trees/bushes do not hide where you are, and they should.Also whoever thought it was a good idea for cops to be able to see you through walls when you hid before they even got to the street you were on and then allow them to magically turn down the very side street you decided to try hiding down and behind a wall, seriously...this is not how you make good AI.

This could be resolved more honestly, like giving them a longer sight range or something.Yes, this is a problem with the police AI, but the alternative would be even worse I think. Police that completely lose you once you break the line of sight would be way too easy to escape from.
That would have been a good dynamic. Unfortunately, suppressors in the game serve no purpose whatsoever that I could divine.If you can sit tight for a minute they should give up and suppressed weapons shouldn't draw attention, a pistol with a suppressor should be a covert way to take down any unwanted attention but no...
... I hear you get a ton of cash if you save the assassination missions until you finish the main story heists. But by then if you haven't done anything other than the strangers and freaks side missions, there is nothing left.
Actually saving those for the end maybe was the point but if you were to do just the main story missions, you could finish the game pretty quickly I believe.
Is it me or does it seem like when you need to evade cops or chase someone down, the traffic suddenly decides to turn in front of you and you get more cars stopped at red lights blocking your way than usual?

Judging from posts, game doesn't sound terribly enticing over previous GTA's.
It's worth more than a rental. I say 20-30 bucks at the most for those who want to pick it up way later. If you just do the main story missions, there is nothing else to do and you finish it quickly. The last gta's had the ability to buy property and do missions from the property for money.
I don't even think I was made to feel like I wanted to explore the vast world. Mainly because there are no missions to do, it's all just visual.
I have done nearly all the missions save for a few ?s. I own all the property and have done a couple annoying missions for each of them. There is very little to actually do in this game. The races, sports, and other activities are just tacked on and completely lack depth. It is a rental game, which is sad.
That sucks. I expected San Andreas with more depth.
There is a ton to do but it feels worthless when you do it. There is also a lot of area to explore but there is nothing there except maybe a random hiker or elk to happen upon. There are also a lot of stores a buildings that are not interactive at all. I feel the soundtrack and music choice is the worst of all the GTA games as well. I might have expected too much though but I thought there would be more cool stuff to see and do like air to air jet fighter battles and there just isn't.
I guess I am a weirdo, because I am enjoying the game. Lately I have just been going on my own little rampages and trying to get away from the cops. This game is what you make it, if you expect Rockstar to hold your hand and make it fun for you, then you will be disappointed. But if you go out and look for fun stuff, you will enjoy it.

San Andreas is exactly the same. I think it's just that SA came out when a lot of us were younger, so we're remembering it a lot different than it is. I've played SA through 20x and played it again about a year ago. There's nothing more to do in it after completion than in V.
