What happens when format face-offs get really specific? Digital Foundry starts comparing the density of grass in a game, that’s what. Grand Theft Auto V was thought to be largely identical on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but new evidence shows that Sony’s system has been drizzled with an extra drop of Miracle-Gro, as it’s capable of rendering a little more foliage on screen than its competitor’s console.
While this clearly proves that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side, we feel like a lot of these comparisons are already splitting hairs, so we’re not sure that we weed [Sorry – Ed] to dig this deep. Incidentally, we recall the PlayStation 3 version of Mafia II missing a few shrubs and bushes, too – and we thought that that game was great on the Japanese giant’s device. Still, we suppose that this should provide console warriors with a little more mud to sling, huh?

@get2sammyb Your overly frequent use of, er, er is quite annoying. It starts to read so badly.
Rant over. No need to pay attention if you don't want

@eLarkos Haha, thanks for the feedback - I don't think I, er, do it that much, though!
Off topic but is anyone finiding aiming difficult? Shooting with either of my DualShock 4's is awful. The right sticks just isn't responsive enough, especially in first person mode. It feels like it's stuck in mud, The shooting range I aced nearly first go every time on PS3 yet on PS4 I'm struggling to get even a bronze.
I agree. Even though I've grown accustomed to the sticks, there is a huge dead zone on the analogs. The game doesn't seem to register small movement on the sticks and this can throw players off just a bit. Maybe we should complain on rockstars forum?
@get2sammyb Maybe I have just noticed a recent surge. I think there was an article recently that had two in one paragraph haha.
@Artie
Grass beats water, so is this better than OR/AS?
@get2sammyb
i've never had an issue reading what was written, even if there are a few "ers". i "er" as well, most of your "ers" seem genuine, some of the content is pretty "er" worthy........................................er
Grass is always greener on the ps4 side.
There's a fp learning curve but once you get the hang it's fine. I still can't tell my car's condition from fp tho
@sinalefa glad that joke wasn't lost on everyone.
