First person mode

I don't think the social club application has anything, but I was wondering the same and found this:

Good find PZ! I'd say go for Steam. Most of us have the Steam version. I haven't had trouble with it at all so far ;)

[Art Blade]

yep, steam

[PZ]

I read somewhere that copying the game folder even works for the Steam version - supposed to be way faster than the Steam backup/restore utility.

Here's a thread:

If I would have known this I would have purchased the Steam version and brought a thumb to w@&k to do the same thing D_B plans

Thanks for the info guys, I'll probably go the steam route when the time comes.

As far as copying the folder vs using the steam backup, that might not be as fast. Steam backup compiles and compresses the files into DVD (or CD if you choose) sized pieces. It's always a lot faster to copy one archive file of say 1GB in size than 10,000 smaller files totaling 1GB in size. Plus if there are any files larger than the ~4GB limit of FAT 32 (the file system a lot of thumb drives use) then you are stuck with a file too big for your thumb drive unless you re-format it to NTFS or some other system that can support larger files. If the thumb drive can support that file system, that is.

I think you're going to like the game, D_B.  :) There are sticky bombs and even sticky proximity mines to throw at stuff.  :-()

[PZ]

Best of luck, D_B!

[Binnatics]

Yes D_B, and don't forget the video editor, where you can record game experiences and then edit the stuff you recorded as if you are a real-time movie producer, giving you the freedom to do whatever you want with the footage, from changing view to adding effect layers or slowing time. Great past-time once you get bored (if you ever get bored) of the Single player game ;)

[Art Blade]

D_B.. something for you to whet your appetite  :-D

Difference between 3rd person..

..and 1st person.

That scene is hillarious :-X

[Dweller_Benthos]

Yeah, eventually, I'm finally making my way through the last bits of FC4

[PZ]

Ironically I'll be headed back into FC4 likely once all you chaps are done with the game.  Only waiting for bargain basement prices for the PC version, and of course, any mods that may be available.

I'm through with the main story missions. On my "way out" I raced through a horde of bikers, one of which I ran over properly and he went over the car with his bike. And then I kept hearing gunfire in my back and neither speeding up nor slowing down stopped that ruckus. So I stopped the car on the highway to take a look what the F was going on back there and found that goddamn biker who was somehow stuck (probably after I ran him over he landed on the trunk or some such) and he was kind of glued to the car. Of course, he kept shooting. So I put an end to that nonsense.

[PZ]

  :-X

[Binnatics]

 >:D :-X

[Art Blade]

I keep chuckling when I see that pic with the dead biker :)

[Dweller_Benthos]

Achievement get!

[smg id=7972]

Pretty much the only time I go third person is when I'm hooking on to a car with the tow truck or to see while using cover. A few times I've gone to 3rd person to see how a wheelie looks on a bike or something.

[Art Blade]

 :-X :)

[Binnatics]

Well done D_B! Took me about 200 in-game hours to get it :-D

[PZ]

lol, I don't think anyone in the world would beat D_B at in-game first person play time  :-()

[Dweller_Benthos]

Nope, too bad there isn't a total in game timer in that list, just what you've played as each character.

[Binnatics]

I found out that First person playing can be a lot harder than 3rd person. The lack of some overview at the scene and the car-moving added to your aiming view makes it really challenging all together.

Me and Uzi just completed all heists in FP view. Art assisted us on some of them, and might deal with the rest of them himself some other day. Anyway, one thing is for sure; he's an excellent FP pilot :-X 8)
Thanx to Arts efforts we managed to pull off the most difficult heist finale, the Prison Break.

That was the last mission for me to complete the Different perspective award:
