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.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
