    Does it not save them to the cloud? That's the good thing about Origin they backup saves to the cloud.

    Trying to buy this on steam now and I'm getting some stupid error message and it won't proceed with the sale. Such a pain in the ass. I'm bloody dying to play it now.

    I finally got it working. I now have a dilemma. If it's current download speed stays consistent then it'll be finished downloading by 2AM. Given that it may fluctuate and the time it takes to install it let's just make that 3AM. I don't have work tomorrow, should I stay up to play it for an hour or two before getting some sleep. Bear in mind an hour or two will more than likely become 5 or 6. It's very tempting.

    You make a very compelling and well thought out argument.

    The download speed is fluctuating a little too much for my liking. However, I have just arrived back from Tesco and Doritos, Skittles and chocolate have been stockpiled just to be on the safe side.

    I like the sound of that, you are making me hungry now.

    Not good, were you far into it. I am only a bit in as i already played the whole thing before and even done all the stupid missions like
    swimming the whole coast all the way round looking for submarine parts and also a triathlon that goes on for ages starts in the country side and ends up in the city, swimming the full length of the lake, biking and running.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,109 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    And I'm in. It's gonna be a long night.

    Just a few missions into when Trever arrived in Los Santos. Not too far I suppose really.

    About the same myself. Although i've played it all before.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,143 ✭✭✭jumbobreakfast


    I keep getting distracted by side missions and the online is good fun too so I'm not long after unlocking Trevor. Great game though, well worth the €60


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75




    more cheaters, this one is good.

    Cant find him on R* anymore.

    doughboymatt1 is there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,309 ✭✭✭✭wotzgoingon


    Well finished the tutorial heist earlier, never got a chance to play it as my brother was home and on the internet, it was pretty good, the last hack on the drive over was hard but I got it after a few attempts and then drilling the safe deposit box was hard as well until I figured out how to do it.

    I also came second in a deathmatch (everyone against each other) the winner reached the limit 25 kills I had 22 but I had less deaths than him. I didn't get the objective either on the match before it was have more kills than deaths which I didn't have but the time I did have it the objective was kill someone within 30 seconds.

    Looks like I might actually pick this game up eventually. Fun-allowed mods incoming. I hope they stick with it and make it cool. Just need them 100+ player lobbies with no radar and we're all set, really. No small task and perhaps impossible. But if Just Cause 2 can accept 1000+ lobbies as a single player game...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,815 ✭✭✭imitation


    So despite saying gta v was going to be ****e on the rift I gave it a go, its actually good fun and pretty convincing, its not proper 3d, but what ever magic rockstar worked means the head tracking is dead smooth below 75 fps and runs well at high detail, so its one of the better games to use vorpx on. That and the fact in gta v its easy to spend hours just driving and exploring, rather than managing menus and cutscenes which just dont work right. Be wary of bans though, i play in offline mode.

    ^ Careful. There's already news coming in that people are getting banned for FoV changes in single-player.

    Restarted after my save games issues and now find I cant get past the section near the start with the stolen boat on the freeway.. Graphics keep focued on the guy hanging over the side of the boat and wont let me get the car into position. Oh well, it was good while it was working...:(

    If you're using a 360 controller press B to turn off the focus mode.
    Think it's caps lock on keyboard. Check your key bindings.

    The Editor is a lot of fun. I really need to try something different with it.

    I had this. Press R I think. (Whatever key is the action camera)

    Does anyone else notice while playing online, your in a middle of free play and all of a sudden the other players leave the server and your the only one left. I counted like 12-18 players leaving at the same time

    What the **** is that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,754 ✭✭✭✭degrassinoel


    finished the solo play today,
    Met Trevor's Ma!

    That happened me a few times.

    I was a but underwhelmed graphically. The 2gb graphics card was forcing me to use direct x 10 and little effects.
    Taking the population variety slider down left me able to turn most things up near max and holy ****. Completely new game. Depth of field effects are essential as is the best water.

    I could be way off, but I think it is when they're all in a race together, and when the race finishes it migrates host and combines with another host on a different "session"

    Happened to me a few times over the weekend. Got first place rewards but then it dumped me back to my player instead or looking for a new game.

    I just figured the online play was suffering at the weekend so stopped playing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,188 ✭✭✭Squaredude


    When you see everyone leaving the server it's actually you who has left the server

    Has anyone come across cheats in the PC online deathmatc? Had a game yesterday with one guy pulling off constant headshots and not taking damage in return. It got to the stage where he had a gatling gun standing on a box and no-one could kill him. Just wondering if this could possibly be a game issue related to lag and poor connections or just outright cheating.

    I'd say outright cheating.

    I've never used the first person mode as GTA has always been a 3rd person game to me. However, I gave it a try just for the driving and, well, it hurt my jaw. Whenever I carelessly speed around a corner and collide head-first into another car, I clench my teeth the split second before impact.

    Great fun, but bad for my health.

    I think it's terrible for the driving, but essential for shooting. It's actually hilarious how easy the Amm-u-Nation firing ranges are now :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,309 ✭✭✭✭wotzgoingon


    Yea I like to be in FP when in a death match but never driving of skydiving as you cannot see what is happening around you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75


    All FPS games should have Armas free look, it really helps you look around but keep your weapon pointed in front.

    Yes they should, I keep forgetting myself and hitting what would be the free look button on my mouse and find myself running into traffic or a wall:o

    Anyone using a first person FOV mod online? I can't stick the default one-way too narrow, don't want a slap of the ban hammer either..

    Online FOV mods result in a 14/15 day ban so probably not.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,309 ✭✭✭✭wotzgoingon


    Is that a no?

    I'd say so. I haven't played GTA IV since it came out(how many years ago that is I don't know) but as far as I remember the cars handled like shít.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 10,518 Mod ✭✭✭✭5uspect


    The cars in IV handled more like real cars. ****ty cheap American cars. The cars in V all handle like sports cars.

    My biggest gripe with V is the state of the helicopter controls. They maintain zero momentum and are frustratingly unrealistic. Pushing the cyclic slightly forward should cause the chopper to pitch forward and glide due its attitude. Releasing the cyclic should do feck all to correct this. In V you have to hold the cyclic fully forward for anything to happen. It's as if they just used the blimp controls and then added the turbulence wobble from the planes on top.
