I went looking for a plane last night was on the point of giving up,   finally found it after going for a ride in the country on a dirt bike.   Ended up at a airfield strip that I hadn't discovered yet and found the crop duster   :rock

Of course did a textbook landing at the sandy shores airfield and put it in the hangar!

Looks like stall limiter is enabled though.   :uhoh

Story-wise and character-wise, GTA V blows GTA IV out the water. The protagaonists Michael and Trevor are great characters but Franklin seems to lack the depth of the other two. As for the setting and work gone into the map I'd put it at number 1 for effort. The place really feels alive and real because of all the little details. Of all the GTA's I'd put it at least number 3 on my list, close behind San Andreas if not equal to. Still doesn't beat Vice City for me though.

not welsh!   :rofl

I read that rockstar started off in Scotland and made Lemmings before they started with the GTA series.   Never knew that but the online multi player when it does get released is going to be really neat if they can keep some of the crazy lag and cheats out of it.  

So if anyone wants to come and shoot me in the head feel free.  I'll race you!  :D

Let me put in another aspect. As some one who's lived in California the details are practically insanely accurate, from the beaches, LAX, Venice city, the la river, city out skirts, sunset strip, it's spectacular.
Not o mention the game has waves. But honestly for anyone else who lives in la rocks far did an awesome job

And of the 3'characters micheals my favorite followed by Trevor.

As for other GTA's it's top 3 as well.
Now if they just re do vice city as well then omg it would be epic.

Rockstar North are still based in Edinburgh, they make all the GTA's here. They have a massive office and the whole thing has a massive GTA V poster round the entire building. It says "GTA V - Made in Edinburgh". The guy who started it is from Dundee I think.

It's amazing there is all sorts of stuff to do. Last night I took Michael and flew a blimp all the way up North, landed on the beach, went into town and stole a car and drove to the cable car. Took the cable car up to the summit. Grabbed a dirt bike which happened to be up there, rode down the mountain and all around the North but the territory is still huge. Beautiful scenery as well. Rode the dirt bike all the way back home.

I am thinking you can jump on a train as well to hitch a ride but have not tried.

By the way don't fly over the military base or they sill shoot you down.

Some of the news you hear and just other sayings and tidbits are really funny.

Oh and I as Michael shot and kilt a mountain lion with my pistol last night while driving up in the mountains on a dirt bike.

I am quite enjoying GTAV. The radio could be a bit better but there are some really good songs scattered about.

Anyone else notice that there seems to be turbulence in aircraft?

Steps forward in every area, except 2 areas in which it's fallen; Physics and story. GTA4 was better in those aspects.

Physics in GTA? What.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Just finished the story. I really enjoyed it, much more than GTA IV. Waiting for MP now.
