I'm playing on X360 framerate is crap

Going to have to agree with everyone else. It's just you. Framerate is flawless for me.

And multiplayer always drops in framerate regardless of what game I play for me at least, so I don't see that as a big deal.

Flawless is a little OTT - its not the best framerate with constant dips, but its not unplayable.

Just got to play maybe 45 minutes or so I am finding more details that I just love. I smashed a car so bad the siren went off and Niko tried to start the broken car for 20 seconds before I called it good. Then I got in a Cadillac Escalade looking SUV and floored it. I rear ended another car at near top speed and put them into a pole. I checked their car (sirens going off) and the driver had his face down resting on the steering wheel......creepy. :p

I disagree

What res are you guys playing in? and what input

HDMI + 1080p here..

I feel the framerate is bad and even crappier at some places

1280x1024 on my computer screen using VGA cables, not sure what I'm runnig at w/e my Dell WFP2007 monitor can handle. No problems for me, an occansily lag for objects to appear, but that's been happening since GTA3 and with no loading times it's a very, very, very, very small price to deal with. Near perfect, so maybe not flawless.

And I gave up on going for 100%, spent 3 hours and only got 26 Unique Stunt Jumps down, ****'s are a pain in the ass, haven't even tryed to birds yet.

360, HDMI, 720p. The framerate is far from perfect. But it really only chops bad for me when making sharp turns in a car, especially in the larger city areas. If anyone considers the framerate in this game perfect, I'd hate to see what they actually thought was bad. Not sure if this game is better or worse than Mass Effect in this department though. My memories of Mass Effect are telling me that it was worse than this, but I haven't played that game in some time.

I got the strategy guide. So I know where they all are and I don't have to keep checking the Tw@t to see. But still, I just don't feel like the hassle, at this point. Some of those jumps are tricky.

I'm getting really annoyed on this mission.

Where you have to rescue Roman from that warehouse, it takes 20 minutes to make it to the room and then you have to shoot the guy first time, perfectly. I for the life of me can not hit him or i shoot Roman. Then the mission fails and i have to restart right from the start! I can get up to the room so easily now, i know where each enemy will be. It is so simple but i mess it up. I did that snow problem mission first time and i hear people have trouble with that one.

What, you are kidding - You just lock on the guy with Auto-Aim, nudge the reticule while locked on, up to his head and take a shot.

Boy am I ****ed :angry:

Last mission and JUST went over 30hours

Slowpoke :laugh:

How many hours were you?

Really? it wouldn't auto aim for me, so i had to do it manually. Perhaps i should get closer to him :p

Cheers

You guys use autoaim? :blink: Wusses :p

If im gonna complete the storyline again its with autoaim this time..

At first i was focusing on the dating and friends relationship part, but as i progressed it just started to **** me off - So i just gunned for the sub-30 Hours achievement, think i did it in 25-26 Hours.

Auto-Aim is for wusses in gun dedicated games, having to manually aim in this game would just **** me off - Specially with all those random camera angles indoors, then all of a sudden you have someone behind you.

I'll just save myself the frustration and enjoy the game ;)

I actually did that mission today. I found it quite easy, but I had a sniper rifle in my inventory. I simply took it out, zoomed all the way in, and took out his eye. Easy :)

Exactly my thoughts, Multiplayer i think auto-aim should always be off, just to make it require skill. Single player though, you need auto-aim, indoor areas are a pain to shoot anyone in and that bank mission really needs it too.

@Pierce28, I also have a rifle in my inventory, i might try that.. thanks.

    • Thanks for liking it! 😊 That's Arch Linux with Gnome.
    • LOL. Can't even quote and edit a comment correctly. Figures you're a Linux user.
    • It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?
