I agree with the points you raised about the instructions being in the top left, that really annoyed me in my first chase when trying to learn about the special abilities and also about it looking a bit blurred when you drive fast, it kind of looks jerky. Still love the game though, I think Michael is my favourite character to play as closely followed by Trevor because he is an asbolute maniac.

of course the graphics are good enough. What do you want? photo realism?

GTA is GTA and did i expect anything else,i have not been a avid fan of the series and only ever bought GTA4 before this one and i didn't have the time or the patience to finish that game,this been in the region of 3 times the size of that game and red dead redemption and San Andreas all put together its not going to be a game i will finish or keep for that matter.

Ive even just deleted my save as I'm that confused by it all and have made some wrong choices in buying of properties that I'm going to try and start over from the beginning having played for only 10 hours and doing and achieving nothing.

Would have preferred a one character experience and I'm not blown away of having to switch between the 3 of them and then working out what I'm suppose to do next,can not see me wanting to keep this come November when the Playstation 4 ships,even the multiplayer would have to be outstanding and i don't think i will be giving that to much time because apart from the original Cod game MW4 and Battlefield most of these multiplayer games seem tacked on and not very good,even The Last of Us i thought was decent for about 2 hours and soon tired with that along with Tomb raider,Far Cry 3 and to many more to mention.

Im not even sure how GTA online is even going to work.

I think the swapping between characters is a really awesome feature, I usually just do one mission on each of them at a time then move onto the next. Why did you delete your save? You can't really make a bad decision on property, you either own it or you don't. Money is really easy to get in the game as you progress so can't see why you would delete 10 hours of time just for that?

I generally do daft things like delete a game save and start all over when i think a game is something special,to be honest Jaxx i don't know why either as buying a certain property is not really affecting how the game pans out is it?.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying this game is not great because it is,just its not really the type of game i want to spend hours and hours playing if the truth be known.

its the posh version of saints row and i hated that game but kind of like GTA in its own little way but it don't get me excited in the same way as a Good FPS or a game like The Last of Us.

When the Last of Us shipped i found myself itching to stick it on all the time and play some more and whenever possible,gta5 i haven't touched since last Thursday and preferred to watch tv and films the weekend rather than play this and that tells me something.

I know for a fact once i get my grubby hands on the playstation 4 and Battlefield 4,Watchdogs,Killzone Shadowfall i will be playing night after night week after week,but for know GTA 5 is not really holding my attention and to be quite honest with you could easily be traded but i will keep it hoping the online is something unique.

Besides there is little out now until next gen arrives so i will persevere with the game and hope after many hours the game really grows on me,very few games seem to hold my attention this year and only one game has raised the bar and we know what that was.

.

let me ask you about missions why we are on the subject,if you look at the characters you see how many mission they have each by the side of there names,now when i switch to a certain Character i dont see the mission on the map,so am i right in guessing that i have to return to there homes to start the character mission or am i missing something.

It's probably a Freaks and Strangers mission, you know the one that is a little question mark? They tend to be a lot smaller on the map so you won't see them as easily and sometimes they can be in random places. Like Franklin has one in the North East Desert, Trevor has one in the North West. Just scour the map for that little question mark that is in their respective colour (Green for Franklin, Blue for Michael, Orange for Trevor).

I think the online play will be really good, I agree with these kind of games usually it is not that great like Red Dead and Max Payne was a failure. But if they can nail the heist missions online then I think they are really onto something, it will be everything Payday 2 should have been

That's the UFO man

I get the feeling that yourself and mrnelster are far from impressed with the game and wandered if you had ever played previous versions of GTA as you new what should be expected.

I've played all of them (4 and 5 on the PS3 the others on a PC) and would say that IMO this isn't any better than 4 just different

Yeah I'm still enjoying it, but if it comes to PS4 the online co op mode will be a blast, and hopefully a lot more defined visually. Then I could really imagine it becoming addictive.

I'm enjoying playing as Michael right now, but I know exactly where Timey is coming from. Sometimes it's really not obvious where it wants you to go next.
