Beat-Man Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 it seems like GTA 5 5 PS3 is defective and have a high defect rate. in story mode, I cannot progress during this mission with Lamar and the dog chops. this is after the tow truck mission. after the initial talking/dialog. there is no talking while walking towards the van parked in an alley way. after everybody got in the van the radio does not work. all I hear is static. when driving around the radar map acts strange. part of the map is covered by a grey sheet which covered the road. the start menu does not load and the game freezes. Online it is the same thing. when i reach rank 12. merryweather called my cell. there is no talking and the phone does not hang up(pressing the red circle hangs up the phone) and seconds later it freezes. troubleshooting methods no longer works. my other PS3 games don't have freezing issues. so i reverted back the GTA 4 games on their online versions. a google search on "GTA 5 broke my PS3" brings up hundreds of research on gamers talking about the defective nature of PS3 GTA 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
