Grand Theft Auto

Recommended Posts

So who on TC is playing Grand Theft Auto? :)

I've been playing GTA since the first game came out in the late 90s on PC. I've always found it funny being able to play an outlaw who is breaking into a myriad of vehicles and driving them through vast cities, performing stunts, crashes and the occasional pedestrian casualty.

Now that GTA 5 has been released for consoles in 2013 (eventually ported to PC in 2015), I'm still playing this game since day 1 and am amazed of the gigantic open world to explore. And there are so many cars out there that are pretty obviously based on existing vehicles (though not licensed). You'll even find Baja Bugs, Toyota Hilux, Fast Attack Vehicle-lookalikes and a big ol' 4x4x4 Monster Truck.

EDIT:

Attached is a GTA 5 stunt montage video. Please See 2:40 for the Baja Bug.

I'm a huge fan of GTA series, I actually bought the first one before I even owned a Playstation... I knew I was getting it for a present 😉 They just got better and better and GTA3 just blew me and my mates away, it stomped all over Driver (remember that?)! Loved all the sequels and thought San Andreas was great!

I didn't get GTA4 until I bough a PS3 which was some years, a marriage and a couple of kids later and I think I may have grown up a bit (who'd have thought it!). So I just didn't get into the game play. It seemed to have all the main elements as the others but I just haven't clicked with it and have no desire to play it. Now it could well be me as the idea of sitting down an wasting hours on s video game just isn't something I do these day. The closest I get is the odd Gran Turismo session.

Maybe I'll give the latest GTA a try once the prices drop and see if it grabs me again. The trailers and clips I've seen look fantastic and I admit getting to drive a Baja Bug like a lunatic sound right up my street 😜

I never progressed beyond a PS2, so my experience ends with GTA2, GT4 and DRIV3R. I 'wasted' many hours/weeks/days on those. I could easily get back into it but it would be at the expense of something else, like my RC to-do list...

I have this for PS4, and while i don't play it all the time i must admit the online version of the world is great, especially now they have added the 'heists' to the online part. It's great fun teaming up with some mates and planning a huge caper.

Just got myself a Baja bug and done it in SandScorcher colours :)

I have GTA5 on PC and the hacking is RELENTLESS.

I played 4 hours total and have no real desire to go back. That was a waste of $60 sadly :(

I play Rust now and for $20, best band for buck IMO. Fun building my own house, hunting and mining for minerals etc.

I've got need for speed for the Wii, fun but my kids have the Wii U now and I have been sent off to my ps4 for Destiny, COD advanced warfare and Battlefield 4... So lately games have taken second place to RC due to my compulsion to finish everything. I had Gta Miami but couldn't get on with the thuggery. Not my type of game

Now that does sound like fun! 😏

What's COD Advanced Warfare like Dovo Dave? That's another series I was into and enjoyed a lot.

I've been playing it on PS4 lately while recovering from a back injury, only got it as a time waster. The graphics really do it justice , I find it's good in short bursts but still entertaining. I enjoy stealing police cars from the police stations and still have to successfully rip off an armoured truck on my own.. The open world really is vast !

Hey, indetrucks, I always here about the pc world and "hacking", exactly what do people do to create you pc guys problems ?

It plays like a mini movie staring you and Kevin Spacey...the trick is to ply until you thumbs are numb and then you will start to get the feel for It. Ive been told off at 3am for the fact my eyes are falling out and im still at it.. Destiny has me at present as it is clean language and vast missions... things open up in the game around achieving level 20...lol its addictive... still get my but handed to me by the 10-15 year olds that play

+1 for Destiny - I love that game. I don't play the multiplayer much but enjoy the PVE side of things a lot

Yeah, I play it on PS4. I generally don't go into public lobbies, just friend's only with friends. I'm more interested in racing than anything else.
