Me an Marcus spent some time earlier in first person looking around just taking in the detail of the game. We spent about an hour just around the pier and sea, and the tiny things down to signs on vending machines are just incredible.

We ended up parachuting from a chopper above chilliad to the Ferris wheel while the sun went down. Honestly nothing I have played comes close to the beauty of this game. Gonna spend more time wondering around 1st person over the next few weeks and just appreciate the little things.
 

that's harsh it was actually amazing how much detail has went into this same and from the Parachute from above the clouds you could see the city turn the lights on as it got dark but behind you the sun was still setting, looked amazing
 
Haha I'm with @Duffy and @Marksy7 here!

Actually Marcus and I were mucking around - flying through downtown, stealing jets from the military base and then just flying around.

Is easily the best looking game I have played and there really aren't any moments that break you out of the world they have created. Everything handles like you feel it should, and the lighting is just fantastic.

As Duffy said - the amount of detail in the game is part of what creates this - and it is easy to miss this as you are racing around in missions, heists or races themselves. I love the dawn and dusk as you are flying around - haven't seen another game that gets close to this one.
 
Yeah, as @Marksy7 said there, when parachuting and seeing the city gradually turn to night with the lights coming on in the distance, while you're parachuting from the top of the map in the glare of the sunset, its just amazing. Gonna go walk about when I'm next on and see what I come across. Start at the docks I think.

take a bike out of the city and just cycle around the hills and coastal lines it looks fantastic
 
Yeah I was kind of thinking a bike is a good option.
I'm thinking of buying the Duster or the Cuban just to fly around in:

Think they are both around $250k. But I already have the Hydra, Besra, Vestra and Dodo...so one more might be overkill!

I wonder if the 2nd person in the Duster is able to fire their weapons - would be good for dogfights if you had two of them!

Nah, a plane defeats the whole object of what I want to do really, you just pass everything by way too quickly and don't stop to see it all.

That could be an interesting idea with the planes actually, surely it would be possible to make something like that in the creator?

Agree about the plane being too quick for that - I was just talking about flying itself.

Will have a look and see - obviously it depends if you can even shooting the first place!
 
Dusters vs Snipers
That sounds pretty good!

The snipers vs jets doesn't really work as the jets go too fast to snipe, but also too fast to legitimately be able to hit people (aside from just crashing and exploding them). They also move so fast that you notice the pop in much more - the platforms appearing at the last moment, for example.
 
Right...

Minor Detail #1 - The cooker in my apartment is made by a company called Schmidt & Priss.
 
Minor Detail #2 - There's dried piss all over the toilet seat in the bathroom.
 
Minor Detail #3 - Signs in phone box for "Connect Ballz" and 24 Locksmiths.
 
#4 Ten Slice Bacon Triple Cheese Melt Up-n-Atom advertisement...looks like a heart attack in a burger.
 
#5 Bite Sub shop, pisstake of Subway with the tag line "it's big".

#6 The tram timetables at all stations update with the times before the next trains arrive at each platform.
