That was the mission that made me switch from free aim to traditional. =[

I've never laughed this hard at a video game:

The online just double blows my mind and my being impressed already was super high! I'm not a huge gamer, and limited time to play, but the online had me sucked in last night- though I still have a lot of the normal game to play, but I did just join the crew just in case. Happy hunting

Intermittently, ya, I probably do. I even liked the flying in overhead and getting picked up at the airport intro'- nothing amazing per se, just liked the novelty of introduction to your Los Santos baptism, and that they've made it a free for all but there's still consequences. I've had crew / team members screw around and clip me, but there's some built in deterrent to simply walking into the game and having to play like you're in "Escape from La" mode and having people snipe you all the time like in some of the team missions.

Not enticing this by being able to stock up on killing people for huge caches and rewards is a smart move, so when a do for no reason at all face a situation when a random player decided to have a high speed shoot out just out of the blue I actually have a little fun playing along and welcome that sort of chaotic randomness. At least till you freak out enough onlookers that the cops come into it and now are coming after both of you. Happened to me last night and I managed to sandwich the other guy by a highway overpass / on ramp wall and my car and then booked it on foot to get just out of range of all the hi speed pursuit cops and watch as squad cars surrounded the other guy and lit him up like Christmas as he tried to free his car and then exit the vehicle in a blood soaked massacre all over the drivers side of the car.

I just don't want to get constantly 86'd every couple of minutes otherwise it'd take like 50 lives to ever get anywhere in the game, and if I want stealth missions, I'll ****ing play Metal Gear.

I just switched to Trevor, and found him passed out on the top of a mountain wearing a dress.

ragedogg69 · 10-03-2013, 11:41 AM

Okay, so here is my thoughts on the single player storyline. Since that is what the biggest complaint in reviews.

Spoiler!

I believe overall, it holds up well. Not perfect, however, better than most crap I have seen in movies. The main critique I have seen is there is little reason for these guys to get together. Thats crap. Michael is bored out of his mind being retired. Franklin wants to get paid more than he is for stealing cars. I loved the way they brought the two together. The first heist, Michael gets back in the action, Franklin gets a huge cut of it. They are hooked. As far as I am concerned there is no need for motivation from these two anymore.

Trevor is just crazy. The only weak writing was him still doing missions with Michael despite not trusting him. I went in thinking I would not like Trevor, but fell in love with him and his dialog. One of the best videogame characters in a while. I can see the lack of motivation for Trevor to do these jobs, but it seems like he will do anything, that is just what he does. So for the story it works.

I wish there was more Movie Studio and Martin missions as those were the most fun for me, and the characters desperately needed to be fleshed out further.

Lamar is the only character I could not figure out. I couldnt decide if I hated him or loved him. He had great one liners, but he kept getting Franklin into real stupid situations. Him helping out on the final mission made me fall to liking him in the end.

The biggest issue with the plot isnt keeping them together. It is pulling them apart at the end. The bitch fight at the end of the big heist is so quick and so half assed its rediculous. I understand you have to get each other mad at them to make Franklin's choice make sense,but there is a much better way to do it.

Overall, it is an above average story that is much better than what is given credit for. I certainly think it is better than IV. That whole diamonds sub plot is when I stopped playing it. The Packie kidnapping is the only thing that helped that sub plot. I am pretty Mafia'd out on GTA games. I am glad V did not focus on this.

I do wish in some missions you were given the flexibility to complete them the way you want to and not fail a mission instantly. I love that in GTA III, I could have a mission "Kill this guy" and I could gun him down like they made it appear. Or I could steal his car, plant a bomb in it and put it back. Killing him when he started it. If I even try to go to the gun store while on a mission, most times I fail it.

Or you can do what I did. I stayed on the outside of the camp. You can lob those bombs pretty far. I was able to hit every inside one, without getting noticed and going inside.....

The one time I found him in his underwear was passed out on a beach, surrounded by 4 other dudes.

Michael makes the arrangement to give Medrazo the figurine and his wife back - complete another mission and you find out ROn has given Medrazo the statue and Michael says something about "Trevor taking care of the wife." Cut to Trevor's truck, where he's driving Patricia back and Chicago's If You Leave Me Now is playing. Hilarious.
