When you get to the stock market /sniper missions, go read about it online beforehand to maximize the money. You will have more money than you know what to do with. If you just started, you have a while until you get there.

wtf I need to download ifruit on my real phone for this game?


reading that it isn't even compatible with the PC version. Huge FAIL!

Just downloaded it and it's confirmed, it does not work with android even though you can download it.

Played a little bit today. 4K DSR working well with the new drivers. Aliasing is always distracting in open-world city games, so I focus a lot on getting rid of it. Can't stand the shimmer of distant building edges and powerlines and shite.

Just got to the mission I think you are talking about, saved and quit, I will take it up tomorrow.

No issues with game play other than there are a brazillion keys needed and I have so many toons I can play I don't know which one I should be playing.

Subtle brag you bastid.

At 1440 I enabled MSAA and the "recommended" level only let me go to 4x, 8x was more than I have for VRAM. After enabling 4x MSAA I enabled TXAA and the game played fine but my FPS dropped to 60-70, I am running stock clocks on GUP's and CPU and haven't updated my driver.

Did you see my post about Project Cars in the PC thread?

Yeah I saw the post. Not familiar with the game, and there's no hardware that can playably push 12k anyway.

I'm just using vsync for no tearing.

Try 4K DSR with FXAA (no MSAA). Turn shadows down a little if need be.

So I know only certain things can be completed by certain toons, how does the bank thing work? Before a sniper mission should I invest with each of the characters? This game does a horrible job of giving you direction if you want to get through the campaign.

i don't know how much you pc people want things spoiled, but if you want to make the most money, wait until you have completed all the main story missions before finishing the assassinations. you may have to do one of the assassinations though before continuing with the rest of the story

I just got Trevor, dude is out there. Money isn't as big of a problem when you get about 7 hours in. Been tossed from one strip club for too much touching.

What is the point of waiting unless it's to play after you finish the story? I'm not a big "campaign is done but lets keep playing" kind of person, but this game may be different.

Haven't been playing much. Just did the first repo with Franklin, and then he went back home. Not sure what to do now. More repos/errands/fetch quests?

Look for ?, the colors apply to the toons that you have, there is not guide for this, but certain characters have a color assigned to them, missions with a certain color can only be done by the character of that color. If the "safe house" for that toon isn't grey then you have a mission there.

HUGE fricking flaw in this game, if you don't go off road new cops magically appear in front of you when you lose them.

As Franklin, I walked up to a group of white people who were partying outdoors with some girl dancing in a bikini. One guy immediately says he was calling the cops. Cops arrive. Franklin ends up dead.

This game is fun and I am getting a lot of play time out of it, but why in the hell can't I make things go to my mouse pointer (looking at you flying), it's a better port than any of the previous GTA games, but the don't give you key binds for all the different things you need to do. I feel like I spend half my time looking at the key bind screen, but I know most people have mastered it Summit1G stream shows me that.
