I already bought this game 3 times (PS3, PS4 and Steam), but since they are giving a coupon, i grabbed it in EGS as well. I'm thinking of getting Trials Rising.

Store was working just fine for me in browser.

Now says 403 forbidden

So many cheap Ubi games, I suspect they'll lose a lot of money.

essential mods list

btw i would recommend using a mod manager so you don't get banned trying to go online with these as they're script hook based

Crime and Police Rebalance & Enhancement - absolute game changer, vanilla police AI in the game is BOOTY, this completely fixes things so you don't get an instant 5 star wanted level for pushing a can over and makes the game fun again. literally would not bother playing SP without this

Menyoo PC [Single-Player Trainer Mod] - if you want to fuck around with cheats, spawn cars in, change weather/time, weapons etc etc, fun times :)

VisualV - GTA V is kind of an old game at this point and looks a bit dated in places but this mod really helps to breathe new life into it graphics wise

NaturalVision Remastered - the most popular graphics mod. combine visualv with naturalvision to get some interesting results.




GTA FOV - self-explanatory, default fov in first person mode is TRASH

Euphoria Ragdoll Overhaul - E.R.O - god i don't evne know where to start with this one, just download it, makes the game so much fucking better

L.A. Roads + L.A. Roads Patch [Add-On] - texture mod for roads (duh), looks very good when you combine it with naturalvision and visualv

Mobile Radio - not really essential, but i like being able to listen to music outside of cars

i cba making a tutorial on how to install all of these but if you go on YT, you'll be able to find a few.


Great list!

I'll also add Real California Architecture and mention that NaturalVision Remastered is getting a new beta release tomorrow (The current one is outdated).

okayyyyyy

I was looking into this as I'm playing through the single player, is it recommended to use NaturalVision since the page says its outdated? Any other gfx mods are you recommend?

Does it have cross-save with the Steam version?

If I started playing on Epic, then got the game on Steam, could I transfer my save and earn achievements on Steam?

ill be honest, if this is your first time playing - id just stick to the original graphics. The game still looks great (just go easy on the grass detail and post fx quality, 2 fps killer even on todays hw)

the cop mod is pretty essential though, if you want to fuck around in free roam

Heads up: unlike the previous coupon from the holiday sale this one actually works with DLC! Finally able to nab the Control season pass.

Jesus, I now have about 102 free games on EGS. I wonder how much money I saved over the last year or so

Managed to get it...at least, I think I did.

Already have it on Xbox 360 and Xbox One, but I have been curious to see how it runs on my PC, and free is a great price.

Wow, I did not expected this to basically run 60fps on my laptop with almost all settings on max.
Crazy when something like Pillars of Eternity 2 is almost always in the 30-40 range, lol.

Yeah I think Epic's servers must be getting hammered or something. Am excited to see how this runs on my slightly upgraded PC compared to the PS4 Pro version I've played through previously.

i5-8300H 2.30GHz (8 CPUs) ~2.3GHz 16GB ram with nvidia GeForce GTX 1050.

It weirdly drops a bit here and there in cutscenes but driving with fullspeed through the city was f'n locked so far. I'm impressed. Will a try around a few more settings and see what I can push. :)

Might have to wait a day or two for the excitement to die down I guess. Steam crashes as well when sales go live but the client usually normalises in a few hours.

Sort of a bummer because I was hoping to put it on download tonight so that it'll be playable by tomorrow night.

Well it's probably a loss leader. I am sure their boffins are making sure Epic comes out on top at the end of the day. I wouldn't worry too much about them.
Oh, I'm not. I've been grabbing their freebies, and now that they're not gouging me with USD prices in Canada, I'm okay with giving them money for non-exclusive titles. Crazy discounts are a bonus for the consumer.

Now, if only I could get on the store, lol

Damn wish Odyssey Gold was the same price as PSN that would have been a killer deal. Undecided which way i should go, on one hand I like playing long games on my console on the other i heard the load times are crap on PS4.

okayyyyyy


if You install a car as DLC and not replacing another car does that car spawn randomly and will the pedestrians be driving around in them? How does it work? So say if I was to add 10 different cars would they all just randomly appear in traffic/parked up around the world?
