Help questions and discussions

Last practical thread from me before the final stretch. The 18th is the day before. Preload is done, storage is sorted, nothing left to organise. What have peop...

September has the reveal still echoing. November has the game. October has nothing, and that is the problem. An empty month eleven weeks out is when people go l...

For anyone who has not been through one of these, here is the realistic shape of November 19. If you preloaded on the 12th, the game is already on your console...

Three months out and this is the boring advice nobody takes until the week of launch. If you are on a console with the base internal drive you are going to need...

Updated from the version I wrote in August because a few people here improved it. From now: official material only, watched on Rockstar's own site rather than t...

Practical planning question. Reviews for a game this size usually land somewhere between one and three days before release, occasionally on release day itself f...

Genuine question for the group rather than advice from me, because I have opinions and no way to know if they are right for someone new. My instinct is: do the...

Specific and boring. I play on a console upstairs and occasionally on one downstairs, both on the same account. Cloud saves are a platform feature rather than a...

Rockstar's site says the game plays best on PS5 and lists the Pro alongside the base console. That is the extent of what exists. No resolution target, no frame...

Serious question because I keep having this argument in comments and I want to know where other people draw the line. Is a mechanic a spoiler? Is a location a s...

I understand the concept. Police chase you. What I do not understand is how it works as a system and what the stars mean in practice. Also people keep saying th...

Seeing more of it in the last week than in the previous six months put together, which tracks with a reveal being three weeks out. What I want to know is practi...

Asking on behalf of newcomers rather than for myself since I already bought it. My instinct is no. The extras are cosmetic plus some businesses with side missio...

Practical problem I had not thought about until this week. I can control my own feeds. I cannot control the person at the next desk who has already played it sa...

Everyone gives you advice about spoilers and storage and preloads. Here is the one nobody says. You will not enjoy the first two hours as much as you expect to....

Trying to build a list of confirmed apps rather than assumed ones. WAINK for scanning cars. Ryde Me for getting a lift. Snapmatic for photos. Something that han...

Nothing announced. For a game this size the embargo date is usually communicated to outlets weeks ahead and leaks into public knowledge shortly after. Historica...

Boring but real. Someone asked me this and I did not have a confident answer. The game needs a licence check at first launch even for single player. If your con...

Complete beginner question. I have a fairly old television and a PS5. People keep mentioning HDR and modes and I do not know whether any of that matters or whet...

My brother wants to play it when I get it and he has never used a controller for anything more complicated than a football game. What is the realistic way to ha...
