They still haven't managed to implement suspension to the driving. I'm sure they'll get there eventually, I mean, hell even San Andreas had cars that felt more like real cars.

Only way there's gonna be good driving physics in V are mods.

I have a 2500k cpu and a gtx 760 amd I'm getting a good 60fps in high-very high settings. I'm shocked that this game guns so well.

Dan is the Jimmy of the Giant Bomb Crew (at least in my mind)

Not sure you can call this a quick look without looking at the best part, Online.

Dan killing Patrick McReary from GTA 4 was priceless. One of the best heist members to have in the game and Dan guns him down because he's holding a guy up.

It's silly, but the bar on the graphics screen showing video memory pretty much sold me on finally playing this.

I also have a 2GB graphics card, so I'll give you a tip that helped me out in regards to graphics settings. Turn the Population Variety setting slider down to about half; that way you can free up enough video memory to turn the Texture Quality to High. Greatly improves graphics quality without affecting framerate too much.

Trevor listens to Channel X, Franklin listens to FlyLo FM and Michael listens to whatever the fuck is on when he gets into the car. He isn't really a big music guy, y'know? He just likes to fill the silence so he doesn't have to be alone with his thoughts.

This is cannon btw.

I honestly felt like Franklin was the most annoying/uninteresting character. He's always bitching when he's with any of his friends from the hood, and he later he just becomes the buffer between Trevor and Michael.

Should have turned those textures up to very high but it still looks good either way

@planetfunksquad: Trevor listens to rebel radio or Channel X. Franklin listens to East Coast classics or radio Los Santos. Michael listens to Los santos Rock radio.

I was expecting Vinny to do the Quick Look for this. An open world game and a video editor mode? It's like it was tailor-made for him!

You didn't show the Director mode? Come on! it's the best thing about the PC version.

I'm NOT talking about Rockstar Editor!

Please make a quicklook about the Director mode or show it in UPF

Franklin was a pretty throw-away character, he hardly added anything to the already lack-luster story. He might as well have not been in the game.

It's not really a big deal but...

They killed the contact from Liberty City again...

I wonder if they do that on purpose...

Great way to handle using a boat without really owning one: boat time shares. You get it say a couple days out of a month. My sister did this when she lived in DC and it was great.

Oh wow, I never thought of that with TIE Fighter. I'll try it out!

EDIT: I don't know how you'd do energy management with that though, you need the keyboard. Anyways. This is also another time you've mentioned it to Dan, play it sometime!

I still won't play it, but I'm glad they've done right by this thing.

Really hoping for a separate playtime video for this like Vinny did with Mordor
