So far I think this game is awesome.  I'm just stuck on a couple of things.  One, how do you get health?  I know there are med kits, but outside of that (and switching to another character), how do you get more health? 

 

You get more health by eating food.

Was just browsing GameSeek and saw this http://www.gameseek.co.uk/pd/VideoGamesycs65a12qv/Grand-Theft-Auto-5-GTA-V-

 

They claim GTAV PC release date will be November 22nd?!?!?! Are they just making **** up or did they just leak the date??

Rockstar is good at doing this with PC versions, When VCS came out for the PSP they had no intention on porting to PS2 and a month later they finally ported it. After I bought it for PSP back then, so wait about a month or 2 and see what happens. If there is no official info for the PC port. they more than likely won't.

 

Definitely fake. It's just too soon.

I hope I'm wrong though.

I have to agree. I just looked it up and all that I got was about the petition that's been going around for a PC adaptation. 

 

 

 

Haha very scary!

Neobond after a few weeks of partying and not shaving, haha.

Just ran out of missions to do with Michael and Franklin, swapped to Trevor and he's drunk miles up a mountain, in the dark and rain wearing a dress... not a vehicle in sight, took like 10 minutes to reach a road damn it.

Trevor = LEGEND

 

Should have called a cab though :rofl:

Bought this last night, played for a few hours. They completely and utterly destroyed the driving physics. I got used to it, but wow they are terrible. That's quite possibly the best part of GTA IV and here it is ruined; not by a little bit, but by a lot. It makes for crappy crashes and weird hand-braking. I don't feel 'pro' as I drive I feel like inserting another quarter.

 

Don't get me wrong, the game is fun, as I knew it would be. The huge map, amazing graphics (for PS3) and things to do are insane. Release a patch to switch on and off these weird arcade physics and I'd already call this GOTY.

Go with PS3 then you can upgrade later :)

Totally and what rockstar said about the game makes me not want to move to the ps4 yet anyway. They said pretty much to the effect that the PS3 hasn't reached its limit yet and when they did GTA V the PS3 didn't hurt any of the things they wanted to do with the game. So to me that's telling me that its really unnecessary to switch to the ps4

Totally disagree with this. I'm loving the new handling. It fits with the world far better.

 

I was never a fan of GTAIV's though.

I actually prefer the driving now.

I think Rockstar went with the more arcadey handling because of the huge world. Driving long in GTAIV was a chore and a lot of time you wouldn't make it there in one piece. All the cars were unpredictable and all handling like they were 10 tonnes. Even the sports cars. Plus the handbrake wasn't fun. I used it to stop and that was about it. I think if they kept the same handling as IV. I think there would be more people complaining about how difficult it is.

 

I think this goes online too, it'll make the racing much more competitive in. In IV, if you crashed that is pretty much race over and people decide to go backwards and ruin everyone else's race.

 

As you play V more, you'll get more confident and hopefully you'll see it still requires skill to dart in and out of traffic and take corners at speed. Especially in the rain :laugh:

 

Use the slidey cheat in V and you'll get the GTAIV handling back.

The first time you get in a car, the handling sucks balls.  After you drive more you'll see the handling improve as your driving skill improves too.  It definitely gets better, but yeah, GTA IV's car physics really really sucked, and was one of the worst parts of the game.  Cars felt slow and sluggish, they drove like the tires were about to melt off.  Not so much in GTA V now.  The more you drive, the better you get though.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By WrongHead™ · Posted

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
