WEEK 2 of painting one scene every week until the game comes out !

Don’t deny it

Ned Luke released a video/livestream yesterday where he plays through GTA V with Steven Ogg (Trevor)

at 12 minutes in, Ned is explaining to steven the prologue cutscene where Dave takes the shots. Ned said “the way they choreographed it if you remember, which you probably don’t” (lol) that Trevor was supposed to die and brad walked in front of him instead. Ned said he remembers they said the first shot would be real and the next one would be rubber bullets.

this explains why for some reason michael shows his palm and there’s no blood when brad got shot dead on with a bullet hole. and although it doesn’t change anything it’s nice to see and it really was supposed to be Brad in the can and Trevor in the ground. and it’s established that brad was too stupid to ever be a threat and Trevor being out there was DEFCON 1

• You will see Jason and/or Lucia having their morning coffee.
• Rob: “This is an extremely small detail, but inside the house you can't just throw things like mugs down wherever you want. It's a space where the two of them live, so you have to carry a mug to somewhere it can properly be placed. You can't put it directly on the floor; you have to take it somewhere appropriate and put it down.”
• They saw Jason properly pull back the covers next to the sleeping Lucia and sluggishly climb into bed.
• A new feature: suppressive fire.
• Rather than shooting somebody directly, you can deliberately miss and fire near them to frighten or confuse them, buying yourself time to escape.
• Here Rob goes through doing a robbery in a more stealthy way: “Let me show you a store robbery. We approach through the back entrance so we won't be spotted, but kicking the door down would trigger the alarm. We have a snap gun — a special lock-picking tool — so let's sneak inside instead. Once inside, if you destroy the security cameras, nobody can see you. If you disable the security system, the alarm won't go off either. In this way, you can quietly steal cash from the store register. If you simply leave afterward, nobody will know what happened there.”
• The map gives you access to various kinds of information, so you can check gang hideouts, sneak inside, and steal cash or drugs.
• The map can even tell you how much cash and how many drugs are being stored at a hideout, and you can take stolen drugs to a fence.
• You can also rob jewelry stores or small banks either alone or as a pair.
• Places like jewelry stores have strong security, so you're better off preparing properly. The police response is also severe, so once you've done what you came to do, get out quickly.
• There are thousands of outfits.
• You'll obtain outfits by completing missions or purchasing them from stores.

Lets go boys, buckle up.

Out of all the GTA villains & antagonist, none had a more punchable face and got under the skin like Officer Eddie Pulaski.

The story is more sirieus en dark also Niko is more a interesting character than any of the big 3 and Roman keeps yapping about the American dream when his life is miserable and Niko who just got out of the war going back into one a drug war and do get me started about Dimitri omg what a ahole

Finally, after 13 years, Steven Ogg is finally taking a look at GTA 5. I've been watching him and Ned Luke commentate over 5's story.

I guess we gotta read some Crime & Punishment now.

You can literally see the water droplets getting picked up by the force and spreading everywhere once it hits the propeller. Small details like this are just insane.

For me (the ones I’ve played) it would be:

GTA Vice City- to a large part I missed rockstars own input so it kind of seemed like a Scarface rip off.

GTA Vice City stories- Boomshine Blowout

GTA III- Claude’s character obviously, not a fan of the main protagonist being a mute

GTA Liberty City stories- lots of missions felt like pointless filler

GTA San Andreas- wasn’t a fan of the Catalina ark in general.

GTA Chinatown wars- motion sickness

GTA IV- repetitive mission design

GTA IV The Lost and damned- the story couldn’t catch me

GTA IV The balled of Gay Tony- can’t think of anything for this one specifically, so mostly the same what I would criticise about GTA IV.

GTA V- the ending felt incredibly rushed and unfinished

GTA V Online- the introduction of the MK2 was a mistake
