CAGiversary!
Well, I finally got the game and I have to say that it is amazing. This is by far the best GTA out yet. I have put around 3 hours into it and I am very impressed.
The first thing I noticed is the language. The language is vicious. F-bombs and N-bombs are extremely abundant and are usually every other word. Although there are a lot of bad words the dialog is very good and the voice acting is great. Let me put it this way - so far everything they have said didn't seem out of place or gratuitous. Also listening to Sam Jackson is a treat.
Now for you whores out there the graphics are much improved overall. In some places the game will look a lot better than Vice and in other places it will look a lot worse than vice. The graphics are highly stylized and the color and lighting effects may take some adjusting. My biggest problem is the red haze that is taking me some time to get used to since everything seems red and it is hard to distinguish between some things. It is not red all the time - just during certain times of the day.
The game world is absolutely alive and amazing. There was some worry on my part as far as empty streets go, but rest assured that peds will appear during the right time of day and in the right places ie, don't go into a dark alley and expect tons of peds. So far I have seen ~15-20 peds on screen at the same time with around 6 cars - and no lag. The peds talk to each other (you can hear them talking), and to you. When they talk to you, you can respond kindly or harshly and if you respond harshly you may piss off the ped and start a fight with them. Peds are more detailed and better looking and some ladies now have a case of the jigglies - like hookers or bikini babes on the beach. Gang members flash signs and smoke weed (smoke and all), and chill by your car if you park near them. Recruiting members is awesome and doing drive bys with them is even better - something you really have to experience to understand the joy of. Cops are the BEST and they roll around busting other people on bikes, in cars or on foot, and no they just don't start chasing people for no reason - they have to be provoked. Criminals abound and muggers are back as well as carjackers so you better guard your things. I can't stress enough how alive this world is - it literally goes on without any input or provocation from you. Just walking around you will see people talking, cops busting, gangs fighting, muggers mugging, carjackers jacking and people living out their daily lives without you. Also peds seem to have more health than before, and if you start a fight with one and beat them near death they can get afraid and duck for mercy or run away.
Cars are a little different now, especially since you have to become good at driving. Each car feels different and unique enough that you notice. Now when cars explode a residual fire remains for a while after which makes it look a lot better. One thing that bugs me is the car camera angles and sometimes the default is too low or it gets low, almost to the floor, and I find it tedious to always have to fix the camera angle. Cars move really fast on the highway and it is really like a real highway. If you pull over you better hit the gas to get back in or risk getting smashed. On a funny note cops usually don't obey the traffic signs so they often roll through stops and red lights. Don't you hate it when they do that to you for real?
I wasn't sure what to expect with the new fighting system, but it is easy to adjust to and it was hardly any effort to get comfortable with. I like it a lot better than the old system. Recruits who roll with you stay back and never get in your way and they tell you when they are hurt and need to back off. They are a little slow to respond to commands or to follow you sometimes, but nothing too bad. They are their own entities for the most part anyway.
Well, those are my impression of some of the major stuff that I have witnessed. If you have a question about something maybe I can answer it.
