GTA 5 to look way better on PC.

[Atomic Playboy]

Would you rather be Michael or Trevor?

Ignoring every other illogical point you made, who in their right mind would pick Trevor in this scenario? Yeah, I'd rather be a psychotic, drug-addled, meth cooking psychopath than a guy who lives in a mansion with a boring family and spends all day lounging by his pool drinking whiskey because he was able to retire at 40. I mean, I don't want to be either of them, but if your argument is really that Trevor is the lifestyle one should aspire to, you're an imbecile.

Now if you'd have gone with "Michael or Franklin," well, that's a different story...

So I've already played through this game back on PS3, but playing through it again (I completed the Paleto bank heist last night) just reminds me of how incredible it really is, especially with updated visuals. But it also made me sad to think that Red Dead Redemption is never going to get a PC port; that game would be so incredible with updated graphics, first-person mode and a mouse/keyboard. GTA 5 and RDR are two of my absolute favorite games of the last decade; it's kind of a shame that only one gets the proper PC treatment it deserves.

I totally agree with you. RDR is one of my top five games of all time. A PC port, or redo, would be the greatest. I still play it on my 360 every so often. The DLC for it was great as well.

RDR is literally the only reason I still have my Xbox 360. I haven't actually played it in over a year, but I also can't bring myself to get rid of it.

I feel like Franklin will be much farther in life than either once he hits their age. He routinely comes across as the most reasonable, level headed guy. He's quick to apologize, and tries to keep everything civil. Trevor's nuts, and Michael has a bad temper.

 

[DeadFred]

In the game Trevor is my favorite character just for the shits and giggles, but in the real world I wouldn't want to be any of those losers.

 

[DeadFred]

I think it's sad that people feel the need to "grow up and commit" by marrying some slut that slept with 10-20 other guys before you and handing her 50% of your earnings while being tied down by the kids she pops out. The other guy has the right idea. Being married is for the sad sacks.

If your are contemplating marrying a gold digging slut, then yeah you would be right. But who in their right mind does that? Ill tell ya who, its the old sad sacks still hitting on all the nasty chicks that hang out in clubs.

 

[DeadFred]

I forgot to mention: I can play, but randomly, if I hit Pause to enter the menu, the game might crash.

Up until now, I hadn't actually been playing the game, so I don't know if this was introduced by something I set or if this is a problem that has remained.

Anyone experience this, and/or come up with a solution?

Ive seen that a couple of times but unfortunately I have no solution to offer. Are you using Nvidia or AMD? I think the Nvidia GTA SLI drivers need some patching, Ive noticed several odd things going on with my PC since installing them.

I got rdr for ps3 when it hit the cheap classics box.I didn't really find it to be that hot. Ok it was great except a) alot of horse back riding, which wouldn't have been so bad if b) the desert west is pretty hard to make look good enough to spend many hours in on the old consoles. I would probably play the hell out of it on a good pc port, but trying to do activities like hunt, or just free play on the console killed my eyes. Oh and the controls, I did not like them.

I'm nearly 49, have a son who will be 21 shortly, and I have been playing video games since 1974. Hell, since GTAV hit on the PC I have already logged 96 hours. I have raised my son successfully, he is a budding artist (draws amazingly) and he is actually making $$$. My ex-wife (ex not because of games but she was a lazy sack of doo-doo) is so technically challenged that she never in her life played games. She hates it with a passion. Gaming brought me and my son together years ago and we still play together to this day. He isnt sheltered at home eating cheetos til 4am. He is actually outside more than inside. Actually, his social life is crimping MY gaming life! Little bastard!!!

How is your son's social life crimping your gaming life? At 21 he should be able to drive himself around. Unless you meant your time playing together.

My son who is almost 12 keeps me gaming more than I normally would. Many evenings he'll come in asking me to play BF4 with him and I do it even if sometimes Im not really feeling like it but usually always end up having a blast doing some of the crazy stuff he comes up with.


My wife and I just recently had our 20th anniversary and things with us are better than ever but like a previous poster commented, to each his own. Not everyone is cut out for marriage. <--- That statement is made painfully obvious by some of the commenters in here. LOL

Certainly helps that if you play your cards right in the game, you can easily make Franklin a multi-billionaire. Uber-rich, nice house in the hills, owns multiple businesses, airplanes, helicopters, boats and cars, all before turning 30? Franklin's set for life. OK, granted, alot of that came from extremely illegal activity and if the authorities pick up on any of it ever, Franklin may well be hosed. But he's got the sort of money that makes small problems like "you murdered dozens of people to get this money" into a triviality.

Yeah cause that's always how it is outside movies and video games. I swear half of the people commenting on this subject haven't got a clue how things are out in the real world. They only know the stereotypes perpetuated by media. Some people want to have kids and have a family, that's their goal. When they have the means to do so anyway. Some people choose to stay single because they don't find themselves financially able to support a family. The whole idea of "people marry sluts they knock up" is false.

Our time playing together. Also, I was kinda joking around a bit. He has a healthy social life and I am glad. My personal friends never grew up so I pretty much abandoned them 20 years ago when had my kid. I find my life to be just right with a handful of good friends, my son and my GF. The GF doesnt play video games but she doesnt hinder me playing either, she just really hates my GTAV driving skills. My son and I play a couple of times a week. we usually play video games for a straight month whenever a new pokemon game hits the DS.

At least Trevor actually does something as opposed to lazing around drinking all day like sugar tits feeling sorry for himself. And I'd take drug-addled as a strong point in his favour.

Something funny happened along the way to do a Trevor bounty mission.......

I get the email from Maude to chase a bounty up on Mt Chiliad, so I call a cab which drops me off at the base and damn its a long way up there. With no vehicle in sight i just start hoofing it thinking Ill build some stamina and take in the scenery along the way. Well about two thirds of the way up and after what feels like 10 minutes of running up a cliff, something red pops up on my radar closing fast. As I fumble for a gun I of course grab a sticky bomb and toss it just as a big ass cat pounces on me and proceeds to chew my face off. Scared the shit out of me because up till now I had only saw bunnies, coyotes, elk, and deer. Needless to say I have taken sweet revenge on every mountain lion I have since run across.

Unless you did something wrong all 3 characters should be uber rich after the assassinations.

Yeah, but Franklin has youth, athleticism and looks on the other two.

Yes, lazing around drinking all day is terrible... but drug-addled is strong points in someone's favor? That seems vaguely hypocritical. Also, we don't really know what Trevor was doing before we meet him in the game; the fact that he's living in a trailer banging meth fiends could easily be a sign of someone feeling sorry for himself. It isn't until he sees his presumed dead friend on the news pulling a big job reminiscent of his own former glory that he decides to kill every biker and meth producer in the area, and that's probably because he feels a sense of inadequacy that he's no longer pulling off large scores like he used to as part of a better organization. Left to his own devices, he's content to wallow in drug-addled self-pity, and only the resurrection of ghosts from a distant past can break him out of his stupor and convince him that he needs to make something of himself. You see a lone wolf, running free; I see a desperate man that lost his motivation when he lost his former running mates. Why else would he have such a relentless focus on Brad?

Yeah, I was riding a motorcycle in the mountains and saw a mountain lion running on the side of the hill away from me. I chased him down and shot him. Revenge for all those times in Red Dead Redemption when I was minding my own business and cougar appeared out of nowhere and attacked me. I actually got off the motorcycle to skin it then I realized I couldn't actually do that. :biggrin:

I backed up and did a burnout on the head of the first one I killed with a motorcycle. Not quite as good as skinning but it'll do. LOL

 

[Atomic Playboy]

I just realized that you can take pictures of animals for a photography challenge which I completely ignored when I got the text message alert. Now I have to find a cougar but figure out how to not get eaten, which I don't have a solid history with.

They are roaming all over the highest mountains, they all ran when I got close on a motorcycle. Might get a good pic of one on a dirtbike without fear of becoming dinner if you can spot it before it takes off.

Can you take photos from a vehicle? I suppose you should be able to seeing as how you can use the phone in one. That never occurred to me...

I logged on today and my account is short $250,000

pretty pissed about it

whats the point of even playing if stuff like this is going to happen?
