    I can't help but wonder, with all the wilderness to explore, what are the odds Rockstar actually snuck in Bigfoot this time just to screw with the folks who swear he was in San Andreas?

    He was in RDR and they made you feel rotten for it...

    What?

    *looks it up*
    Oh, it was in Undead Nightmare. Never played that.

    You owe it to yourself to check it out if you get the opportunity (pretty sure it can be found fairly cheaply on its own or as part of the RDR GOTY edition). Easily one of the best examples of DLC around.

    if they go with a wacky DLC i hope it's NOT zombies. RDR was cool with zombies but every game nowadays has a "zombie mode". bigfoot should be the center of the GTA V DLC- spend forever tracking him down and finally catch the son of a bitch.

    I'm not sure if I'm gonna wait for the PC version or pick it up September 17 on the ps3. I'll probably pick up the ps3 version ASAP. The map has been leaked and it's absolutely massive but a lot of it is green grass where there is nothing to do there. Even when you look at the parts where there is stuff to do it's a big map.

    Do I need to worry about a metatag or anything for the PS3?

    Just a list in the OP or something would be good

    Oh brilliant
  • Local H JayLocal H Jay Registered User regular
    if you join the crew you can see others online when in game- works the same if it is 360 or PS3. if you just join up you don't have to make a list.

    Not sure that's going to happen, @skab hasn't been online in a month, and hasn't even visited this thread this year.

    Perhaps we are in need of a new thread?

    Do we need a metatag/player list if the Crew thing takes care of it?

  • DragkoniasDragkonias That Guy Who Does Stuff You Know, There. Registered User regular
    Yeah. That sounds redundant to me.

  • AllforceAllforce Registered User regular
    Yeah the Crew is all in-game, just make sure you join up. It'll show a list of online players from our Crew when you boot it up even if they're not on your friends list.

    I've got this pre-ordered for 360. I remember having a good bit of fun with GTA IV at launch, will be fun to see how V does.

    I briefly considered doing the midnight launch thing with this game like I did with 3, VC, SA, and 4. Then I saw the note about an 8 gig mandatory download and realized that I won't be playing for at least two days regardless of when I buy the game. I wish developers would stop assuming that everyone has reliable internet and knock it off with the zero-day patch bullshit already.

    It's not a download, it's an install. It installs from the disc.

    PAX Payne was our May Payne 3 crew, join ChinatownWangs now and set it to your "Active Crew". Then we'll all show up in game no matter what platform you're on.

  • jdarksunjdarksun Struggler CORegistered User regular
    Why do we have multiple crews? Why not just a PA Forums crew?

    Are the crews PS3/360 specific? If so what's the 360 crew?

    I don't know anything about the crew system, so I ask: Is it better to have just one crew for every game, or better to have crews for individual games, so you know that people in the crew are interested specifically in any given game?

    For instance, I bet the PAX Payne crew has a ton of inactive people. Will that matter? Is there a limit?

    I think the Crew thing was instituted with Max Payne 3 and JohnnyChopsocky set that one up back in the day, this is the 2nd Rockstar game that's going to use the feature. So I guess to answer your question there's really no good reason other than PAX Payne is sort of a silly name for a GTA V crew.

    And yes, join whether you're on PS3, 360, or PC. There's a toggle on the right side of the Crew page to see members of each. But we're all one big "Crew". So if you log on to your PS3 you'll see the PS3 members of the Crew playing, if you log on to your 360 you'll see the 360 members, and PC will be the same...eventually.

    There's no limit but there are milestones to be set and all our stats across all platforms accrue (ha!) for our Crew. So breaking it up into PS3 Crew, 360 Crew, etc doesn't really do anything but separate our stats and the milestones we break. Shit like "Your Crew Has Won 100 Games Total" or "Crew Earns 10 Million Dollars Collectively" builds up over all our games no matter the platform.

    Is there any indication or educated guesses on whether the PS3 or 360 version will be particularly different? I have both consoles and don't mind which one I buy it for, but I recall GTA4 having higher res and sharper textures on 360.

    wondering if anyone has a clue yet here

    Also make sure you link your Social Club account to whichever console account you're using. I missed that the first time around.

    XBL, PSN, and NNID: "ConnConnor" for all three.

    so, what are the various bonuses (boni??) for preordering?

    Hopefully the shipping from the Rockstar Warehouse will be expeditious!

    I wasn't talking about breaking the crew up by platform, but by game. As in, there was a Max Payne crew, now there's a GTA V crew, and in the future there might be another crew for another game.

    Seems best to cut that off right now if it's better (stats-wise) to have a coherent crew and make it something not game-specific.

    I joined the crew. ChinatownWangs, correct?

    I can't believe this is out next week. I'm going to spend so much time doing the most benign activities rather than all the explosive heists. Driving the speed limit! Buying hotdogs! Playing golf! And I'm going to enjoy it so much.

    You join up and invite right through the Crew list from the games menu.

    Xbox 360. I have an old launch PS3 that doesn't have wi-fi and is probably close to dying. After about ten or fifteen minutes its fans sound like a jet engine. I don't want to tempt fate.

    Edit: I just saw that if you pre-order it on the Microsoft Store, they'll give you 1600 ($20) Xbox Live points. I may have to switch my order to them.

    That's super tempting, but I really want to get it at a midnight launch so I can play all Tuesday.

    I'm getting this on PS3, by the way. My Gold subscription is like 6 months from expiring, but I don't care about that platform anymore.

    Doesn't have the same punch like Grove Wangs.
