Thats great Paul but be warned once you start its hard to stop. This is my second night not playing it because i can not function all what little sleep i have been getting because of this game. I dont wanna build your hopes up but this game is AMAZING. Enjoy

Only had a few hours gameplay so far but have just been introduced to the delightful Trevor. Impressions so far are incredibly overwhelmingly positive. Love the look and feel of the city and the way the characters work together so far seems excellent. Really justifies the decision to make it a 3 character game.

I also love how it takes all the best elements and mechanics of previous Rockstar games and uses them. The weapon wheel from Red Dead Redemption/Max Payne 3 makes selecting guns so much easier although I find the special abilities feature a little bit jarring for this sort of game. The best thing is how cinematic it feels. Previous games have always been a case of "Go to mission marker. Stop. Watch cutscene. Stop. Do mission" whereas the way the cutscenes and action flow together in this game (like Max Payne 3) is fluid and seamless; one of the early Franklin missions has him chasing someone in the cutscene which you then just take control of which really drags you in and makes you feel more connected to the events


Anyway yeah, bloody brilliant thus far and I'm looking forward to ignoring the missions for a while and just cruising about. Really going to take my time with this game. It really makes me nostalgic for LA though, especially Vespucci Beach which is identical to Venice Beach in so many ways. Even my girlfriend was blown away by that.

The heists are incredible, especially the final one, i won't spoil it for you but it's very fast paced.

I've done a few selfies but I've also visited Vespucci Beach





I'm linking to the photos via the social club so let me know if they aren't visible.

I was blown away by how much Vespucci Beach resembles Venice beach, down to the 'muscle beach' part that Sharon just posted and the outside toilets which are in exactly the right spot. The Chinese cinema on the walk of fame was a great touch too.

It feels weird right, eerie! I was watching a video comparing the locations and I wasn't always aware which parts were real life and which were from the game.
