official Grand Theft Auto V

[FiB3R]

It was a bit flaky for me at first, but I managed to get a good few games in after that, with very little issue. (I was hosting)

[MikeChipshop Member]

I'm not having any issues now. Played several games (lost them all :( ) , customised my clothes and car and wandered round a bit. 

 

Quite fun but can't help thinking it'd be better if they'd MMRPG'ed it.

Can't get past the first race. Just sits at the loading screen.

I'm sure once i get past that, things might be a bit smoother.

Yeah same here. I think it's a case of waiting for a few mins, if you don't get in then dashboard it and try again. :/

Have you tried phoning around?

[Alladaskill17]

Have you tried phoning around?

Very little. Can you suggest people, or just phone previous encounters?

[Crisp]

I've given up, could get to the car park scene earlier before game crashes, now I just get timed out errors, been trying all day. The Xbox itself makes my **** boil with how slow it is at booting up and responding let alone this ######.

[ARchamps]

Damn... I guess I'll playing the BF4 beta instead  :rofl:

As Franklin, give Tonya a call. She will give you another Tow truck mission and after that she'll text you about doing another one.

I haven't done it yet, but apparently searching for Epsilon on Eyefind will cause them to contact you. I think you have to be Michael for this.

Call Tonya for her last mission.

Get all 50 UFO pieces for Omega.

Get all 30 Submarine pieces.

Do the Epsilon survey to unlock that one for Michael.

Get all 50 Paper Scraps to unlock one for Franklin.

Beat the game to unlock one for Trevor.

Do all Parachute jumps to unlock the last Dom mission for Franklin.

"The Last One" unlocks after you get 100% completion.

[TCA]

Wait, what? NPC's can call the cops on you for any reason they feel like? And from the sounds of it you need to follow the rules of the road as well unless you like a wanted rating...madness.

NPC's yeah they can for the mos idiotic things like staring at them for too long, Road rules nope unless you jack someone's car or any of the usual GTA stuff that would get the LSPD on you. May be the HD Universe of GTA but 3D Universe rules still apply a bit for game play.

 

If there is an online option to be a cop and arrest ppl, you're FIRST! haha jk

Michael Only, I tried. Trevor: "If I wanted to join a cult, I would start my own" Franklin: Thinks it's stupid ****" somewhere along those lines.

 

Here is a challenge rush the military base in a fast car and see how long you last before getting shot by a tank or buzzard, or get to a rooftop there...not easy imo LOL

I tried flying over the base with all three in a helicopter for "Army of Three" trophy -- ended up losing my wanted level even through I was just flying overhead, didn't leave the base.  LOL

Thanks all of you for your replies, I successfully played GTA:Online with some buddies and got to level 7 or 8 before connection issues began occurring again (peak after all of US was off work?) so now I will get back to finishing my last 15% of the game. 

 

Separately, is that BF4 beta PC only for a certain time frame? I cannot grab it from the dashboard, website or BF3 main screen (Xbox 360 Premium member here).

Ok, that's a bit better than I thought. It would be stupid if the cops get involved for doing a wheelie or driving on the wrong side of the road. Part of the fun of GTA was the loose rules when it came to driving.

Here's hoping they sort out the pedestrians though, that would get annoying as hell.

it does get annoying, but I enjoy punching them in the face when they pull their phone out to call the cops. But now I bought some planes and they don't show up in the LSI hangar after the update last night, I'll have to check it again to see.

 

Also, if you want to do stock choose ****WASSER or COOL BEAN if you already done the Assassination missions Franklin had 303k and I did the ****WASSER stock went and had him lay down to save but you actually don't have to "save" just exit back out and time still advances as if you did save a few times he cashed out over 15 million. But it's good to have a back up save too, I did that when I was at 75% but my main save is 80%

[Alladaskill17]

Theoretically, I could put in cheats (helicopter, high jump) grab 49/50 spaceship parts/letters, save & leave, then come back and grab the final part/letter and get each achievement right? Because I just started acquiring them and they are not being removed on Rockstar's website but are counting in the in-game collectibles counter. Should I be worried I am wasting my time?

It will lock you out from obtaining certain trophies by using cheats and it's permanent.

Damn, I've picked up a few doing this, revert to previous save prior to cheat & I'll be okay?

 

Reverting to a previous save and collecting did not work either, still not getting credit - don't really think that's fair since these were prior to cheat input.

 

So I've basically screwed myself out of 3 achievements? Space parts, Letter scraps and 100%? even after reverting..?

Pretty much, yeah. But I'm not sure if you started over by deleting your saves and data if that would reset it, trophy wise? I want to try and get gold most of mine for missions are either bronze or silver. Fact I had to get used to the GTA IV standard control setup for V.

 

You shuold've gotten a dialogue pop up about the effects of using cheats. Which it will block you from platinum ones etc that are required for 100%

[soniqstylz]

Well, this is interesting -- I created a solo session to help me get past the first race, and I'm now stuck at the Launching Session screen, with 5 other people.

 

Well done, Rockstar.

[Lingwo]

None of it works.

A bit of a shambles really. You'd think the 2 weeks they've had to prepare for this things would be a bit smoother.

I was expecting bugs but being locked out of the game for what will be 2 days. It is pretty pathetic.

 

I'm sure it'll be good though once it is all up and running. To be honest though. I can't see things being smooth for the foreseeable future.

Agreed. Mine lagged like hell last night, Not sure if I will do online yet..I know I don't care for the CAC for online play. Gonna check my stocks on it now.

Last Updated 4:30 PM ET 10/2/13: Here are the latest updates as of this afternoon.

• For PlayStation 3 users, a PlayStation Network server issue was detected that was limiting the amount of possible concurrent users. This was preventing most players from accessing GTA Online altogether and as of this morning, that problem was resolved.
• There is an issue that is preventing some players from getting through the first tutorial mission across both platforms. Many players have been able to get through this with repeated retries, and we are working on unblocking this for everyone as soon as possible.
• This morning, we experienced some instability across the GTA Online services which is affecting even people who have progressed beyond the tutorial mission. We are identifying these issues now and are working to restore stability for users as soon as possible.
• For the time being and until we have been able to get everybody access to GTA Online and things are running smoothly, we have disabled the option of purchasable GTA$ cash packs. Players can however keep on earning GTA$ by pulling off Jobs and other profitable gameplay activities rather than purchasing cash packs.

2 weeks... They also delayed the game by 6 months also.
