I'm at a company training until 5 pm then off to hotel for 2-3 hours before official dinner, guess what I'm about to do with those 2-3 hours.
PPV porn?
My GTA V Experience so far:
After having the game on pre-order since it was available to pre-order, it hasn't arrived. So last night I took the plunge and bought the digital version from the Playstation store. Immediately they take the funds and you go to download it, now, 4 attempts in, 2 full downloads and 2 corrupted installs, I'm £££'s down with absolutely nothing to show for it.
How will I get a refund from Sony? Chances are I won't. They have zero customer support, they refuse to answer the phone lines, I can't imagine they're in a hurry to respond to emails.
So yeah.

You could possibly try Rockstar customer support? Other then that, just keep at it... one is bound to work at some point!
Umm anyone?
You'll still end up paying twice for it though?
Nope, the amazon one can go back for not arriving on time. I'm still down money though, as it was cheaper.
It's a playstation network problem.
Tough to say with online not yet available. Plus you can be sure there will be DLC too. I'd buy it anyway. Always so much to do in the game, you can explore forever.
The driving is quite good although Im not so sure about the ability to manipulate the car in mid air. Have had some brilliant crashes already and I like the way the cars can take a serious pounding.
Stole a cement mixer last night ploughed my way down the highway (wrong direction of course) hit a car and the both of our vehicles exploded instantly. Love that shit.
Im also liking the way choosing weapons works with the slow mo's etc. Could be ace when theres a serious gun fight.
I spent ages cruising around the perimeter of the map last night only to find id still revealed feck all of it in general. The place is massive!!!!! It also looks stunning.
Hmm. I guess it's a good decision for me personally. I'm not one to play these kinds of games over and over again unless I'm really bored, and I need a football game for the whole year
How's the combat without auto lock? Can't see myself playing with that on.
Seemed a bit too easy for my taste in the first few missions... I'll probably turn it off when I play it tonight.
Also, the standard crosshair is crap... everyone change it to the "complex aim" in the settings ASAP.
I noticed when you get drunk at the bar and go drive your car your not pissed from the second you get into the car. Thats a bit shit, I thought the drunken driving was good craic
Well, I did get loads of hours out of Red Dead Redemption. Probably the fact I like that genre.
Im loving knocking dudes out in it. Especially sprinting up to someone only to clatter them and watch em drop to the ground.
Anyone played tennis yet? I only played one game but it was fairly good craic. Played a bird with big titties.
nah but I will be getting stuck into that this evening after work. Wanna do that, also try and find the little aeroplane to fly around. I stumbled across some sort of military base last night only to have the shit shot outta me for accidentally coming in the gate. Instant 4 stars.
Didn't get much time to play but thought the tennis was shite. 'Activities' such as yoga and tennis you play once and never play again. Would have liked to have seen police vigilante missions, firefighter, drug wars, etc. Brilliant game though
Anyone got in a helicopter yet? Stumbled upon one as Michael yesterday and it was just wobbling all over the place when flying? Is that because of a flying stat that he probably hasn't got up?
It's easy enough to find a plane at the airport, they are all over it (you cannot fly all of them though, of the bigger ones go for the one that resembles the Jumbo Jet, for smaller ones the Piper one is shite as it gets thrown about by the wind way too much but the small passenger one is extremely fun to fly). I flew over to the other airport which turned out to be military base and they destroyed my plane in no time. Those military bases have huge potential for stealth missions though, they are going to use it at some point too.
What do people think of the minigames?
the golf wasnt as fun as Id thought it would be. The tennis was probably better.

Sounds very slick indeed, I will be partaking in some of that this evening when I get in.
The military bases look like they have alot of potential. Getting in a stealing a tank and then going on a rampage.
It's ironic that you're asking people to say this without spoilers but you're putting spoilers in yourself there.
Landing a plane on a strip is fecking hard.
The auto lock is completely different. It'll aim directly at an enemy initially but if the move it doesn't lock into them while they move as it did in GTA, but it's pointless anyway to be fair it's actually a lot more convenient having it all in your control.
The gun attachments makes combat a lot more interesting though.
It's as sophisticated as Virtua Tennis. Not a bad little mini game really.
I'll still go for manual if it's feasible.
Spoilers where by the storyline is given away. Just knowing who is in it isn't really a spoiler is it?
You wouldn't go "hmm.. I fancy watching Titanic"
"Oh Leo Di Caprio is in that"
"Arrgh well now you've ruined it. feck"
At least they've made it realistic this time in that when you hit anything with a plane, it blows. In the past you could basically hit a building or fly it into the forest (be it a chopper in GTA IV or planes in San Andreas) and it'd still be usable.
The Chopper in the last one was an absolute fecktard to use. I literally bounced off building the whole time. Has anyone mastered the c******g thing?
In which case please accept my apologies. I thought most people knew. have now deleted the original post.
Done!
Going to try and get a refund from PStore. They legally can't take my money for nothing.
I never did complete GTA4 for this reason. I got to the bit where you jumped from the motorbike onto the helicopter and every time I'd crash the helicopter into the water

I think there's always that ridiculously frustrating mission in every GTA that puts you off completing them.
I thought that first time, but just make sure that you hold LT/L2 down for quite a while before landing so that the propellers are hardly spinning.. If you slow down enough it's easy, just make sure you're straight which isn't hard.
