Well, it's pretty cool the gameplay is real nice. Driving is much more realistic.

Duringh the first missions you have to use the bicycle which takes some getting used to.

Cars I've found so far:

1980's Camaro
Rancher
Perrenial (again!)
64 impala
Volkswagon Bus (60's but its very long)
Blista Compact
Sabre
Greenwood
Police Rancher
BF Injection
Stallion
Admiral
Early 90's Thunderbird

A bunch others, too. I heard the crop duster fly over when I was on a mountain but didn't see it yet.

Upon crashing into the water you can simply climb out and swim. You can dive underwater, too. When you kill gang members/cops your respect meter goes up.

What are your first thoughts/discoveries?

It's out in EB and Gamestop. The line at EB in the mall was out the door for a few hundred feet so I walked by it and went to Gamestop which had no line. Fools.

Yes, I've gotten those cars too,  but I haven't seeen the LOADER YET!!!!

I have a feeling it's over in the quarry,  but every goddamn time I go over there,   the fucking pigs bust my ass!  

I have seen that old WWII  fighter plane fly over though--  god it is going to be fun to fly.


There is just SO much shit to do, and I haven't even covered  an eighth of it...  

I've already gotten lost -- It's just so fucking crazy...


And yeah,  the line at our Gamestop in the mall was about 200feet long,  but luckily I got there after and just went in and picked it up....

KICK FUCKING AASSSSS

I get lost everytime I go somewhere. Luckily, the highways are there and they're helpful.

I'm rather far along (13%?), taking over Baller territory and finally bringing in cash because of it.

I'm confused regarding the R3 Burglary missions, though - am I missing something?  Which vehicle is needed?  I didn't see the Balaclava at the shopping stores I went to, have I missed it?

One mission you use a black delivery van to rob some guys house. I guess you go back and use the van to rob houses at night. I'm not sure where the van is kept.

    I got my shit the day it came out... Probably helped that I had it pre-ordered the first day they were taking reservations on it.  I've been playing it pretty much since I got it home and it is awesome!!

    I really like the fact that you can swim now, as well as the working out to get buff, and the ability to choose your haircut and outfit.  Also, I like the way that they've actually given the player stats this time around, and that you've got to practice to get better at various aspects of the game.  Pistols, uzis and shotguns have thier own stats, so the more you use them, the more accuracy, range and movement you get while using them.  Same thing with motorcycles, cars and bikes... the more you drive/ride them, the better your player is at using them.

    On the downside, the whole thing of having to stop and eat every so often is kind of annoying... or maybe it's just me.

    'lo. its-a me, josephine!

    i think that the on-screen map sucks balls. but the city itself is pretty, and easy to get lost in. i'm having far more fun driving around and doing random things than actually doing the missions. also, the fucking language is fucking awful!  :P

    I got a lowrider with hydros as a gift. I got access to the lowrider shop so I put on daytons, black paint red interior and 2x nitrous.

    top of list too!!!

    mr apocolypse or what ever his name is, seems to have a fetish for earth moving equipment and is excited at the prospect of pimping out a big loader from the quarry and entering street races!
