Took a dive into GTA V yesterday. My last GTA experience was GTA IV but that just wouldn't stick with me, it couldn't hold a candle to the open world experience of San Andreas or VC.
But this... is so much awesome on so many levels again. Loving it. The countryside really adds so much to this game... took a cable car to top of mountain, ten minutes of awe-inspiring vista makes me a happy puppy
A piece of advice if you are VRAM limited (I am at 2GB) with GPU horsepower to spare: reduce Population Variety. Dropping that slider back to 10/20% gives you an easy 300-400 MB VRAM to play with, allowing High textures and better shadows on a 2GB card - still runs a solid 60 fps too on my GTX 770. So far I haven't really noticed the difference in Pop. Variety: still got lots of variety going, with fat, skinny, male and female and all sorts of different clothing. So its a very good way to up the fidelity in the game with a small sacrifice.
