I'm really liking the game so far overall. The walking/running controls seem a bit sluggish. But the graphics do look really nice.

This game is so good. Online loading times suck big balls right now though. I hope they improve.

From what I've seen they improve based on your internet connection. I've seen some occulus rift videos of this game which is making me consider buying a PC. It's already a lot of fun in first person view but in total VR would be pretty epic.

It doesn't feel like GTA anymore and compared to other first person shooters it feels janky...so why bother.

It works for indoors, in most areas and outside though it's just easier to keep on 3rd person. Being a passenger in a car and using the Uzi is winner though.

I only got time to play the first mission so far and it pretty much feels like GTA IV. So far I really like it

I really suck at this game. I've had it for a while on PS3. There's so much hype going around because of the PC edition, I've decided to pick it up again.

How do I "complete" a stunt jump? There's a ramp near the airport. Do I need to slow down the camera or whatever?

You need to land properly on whatever the jump is pointing towards. The airport ones are tricky I think one you have to land on the sign and the other the top of the ramp?

Basically jump it as fast as you can (and land) and see if it's successful. If not try going slower. I got every jump done just a few days ago without trying to do them and I've been playing since launch.

Some are hard to find cause they're off mountains and there's no physical jump, it's just where the ground ends kinda deal.

Ok I'm bored and have no interest to keep playing after about 25%. They stuck me with Trevor, a character I don't like, made me do things I don't want to do, then don't let me switch to other characters. I want to just get on with the story but the game forces me to waste time with side missions. I don't give a fuck about side missions, I just want to play the story. Anything else literally feels like work to me and I CBA

edit: I also never finished arkham city for the same reason that I felt like I was compelled to do shit that felt like work

I played through the story in a few days cause the online released a week later back when it came out for the 360.

The online is where this game shines in my opinion. GTA has always been a fun racer cause they do a good job with the physics of the game.

Absolutely. Can't understand why feedback doesn't like playing him. He's probably my favorite video game character ever.

Btw, you've got the Joaquin Phoenix look going on there...

Awesome shots. I take it those are from a widescreen monitor? If so, how do you feel about widescreen vs. dual monitor setup?

In terms of real estate I could easily drop down to a single ultra wide over dual. I have a Dell U3415W and a ASUS PG278Q (G-SYNC) monitor. I would gladly sell them both when an Ultrawide G-SYNC monitor comes out. Right now for certain games I endure the screen tearing on the Dell because the ultra wide is that much better. I keep the ASUS around for first person shooters.

Gotcha, interesting. I have yet to try an ultra wide monitor. Sounds promising.

shaft, I tried that Asus G-Sync and found the TN panel physically painful to use outside of games. I ended up returning it after 3 days. Do you similarly find the panel quality to be poor?

Don't get me wrong, I loved G-Sync, and am completely sold on the tech, but using the monitor made my eyes sore. I also found it impossible to calibrate the colour and while I'd heard about the poor viewing angles of TN panels, I wasn't prepared for exactly how bad they really were.

I'm toying with getting the Acer Predator XB270HU, which is IPS G-Sync, but would rather hear the opinion of someone who has had similar issues with the Asus.

I've had a TN and an IPS panel side by side for years now...an Apple Cinema IPS and a Samsung S27A950D before these. As far as TN panels go the ASUS is by far the best I've seen. Color shift really doesn't affect me once I'm sitting at my desk. The IPS is clearly the better choice but I don't necessarily go out of my way to do everything on it.

I've been looking at the Acer XR341CKA. I don't think I would ever buy a 16:9 monitor again.

That's a tough question. It took me maybe about 40 to finish the story but I didn't do every little thing. I never finished the epsilon quests although I have the rusty tractor.

it'd take hundreds of hours to do everything I suspect.
