GTA V has gone gold.

Yeah I remember reading some gamereactor reviewers story of how he reviewed GTA4. Sounded so fucking weird being at a hotel for a few days, playing the game supervised like that. The R* guys would leave the hotel but come and check in every once in a while, he said he had given up on actually finishing the game on his last day but the R* guy came in and told him he only had a few more missions to go, so he ended up making i through.

But I guess with their bad experiences (like Manhunt 2 beta leak from Sony) made them even more paranoid than they used to be.

Yeah that was written by Jesper Nielsen.. He is deleted from gamereactor (as am I) so his blogs about the hotel visits are gone.

He actually defended the practice of hotel visits back then.
 
Only getting them on release date? Damn doesn't sound too good. Maybe someone snitched on him. I'm seeing my local indie store guy later this week. I'll see what his saying.

HMV and Game are doing midnight launches so when would they be getting their allocation? surely it would be the previous Thursday or Friday?

I wanted to get a weekend and a few days with this before I fly out on the following Thursday. Hopefully he'll get it on the Friday...

I think he meant he's getting his stock late on Monday? I don't know tbh just that he said its not looking until release date, He's not getting any issues from other supplier/titles so don't think he's been snitched on, also he only deals with loyal customers and no phone conversations or new faces etc.

Just gotta wait for that txt now :(

Wait why did you both get deleted? :lol

Used to get all my news from GR, but then slowly stopped until I didn't read it at all anymore.

I got deleted after me and some other users (miroll,dytrax etc.) decided to ask the reviewers (lee and rasmus) about the fact that they talked down to the readers and deleted (or altered) comments that didn't fit their opinion. I felt the site (which I loved and wrote some freelance stuff for) was going down the wrong road. I asked to be banned if they didn't take us users seriously (after all it are the users who keep the site alive), but they didn't want to confront us about the issues and we all got banned.

Jesper got work for another site if I remember correctly, so he was banned ( but he also had a situation with the site where a review for an assassins creed game was canned because he scored it too low, the advertisers demanded a higher score).
 
Checked my order out of desperation on Amazon and it hasn't been dispatched but I prepaid for it in June and it says total £-5.00, does that mean I owe them £5???

Vey easy I'd say. At the risk of sounding like an internet photoshop expert, something about the game case doesn't look right to me in that shot.

Probably is a photoshop but the case looks the same on my order page.
 
It's getting to that stage where the Midnight release is all I'm thinking about.

If I can score it early, it would be awesome. But I figure this game will last me years, so as long as it's release night- it'll be blissful.
 
Working that week per usual, but I'll be tracking that package to the max. If for whatever reason Amazon doesn't deliver by like 6pm that day (usually I get my packages early in the day), I'm going to buy it in the store them return the Amazon one if it comes later in the week.
 
The only thing that is going to top the insanity of this game is going to be the OT.

When is it going up and who is making it?
 
Im wondering how many fellow GAFfers are saying "fuck it" to the new systems at launch because they will still be engulfed in this.

I did the same with Halo 4. Felt both petty and victorious.

No, the price on Amazon went up £5 last night, but they'll honour the price you pre-ordered it which is £5 less. So when they charge you, they'll charge you the current price -£5.
 
Like what? (Besides the usual spoiler rules)

Port begging and trashing of the mechanics of 4 will be rampant throughout, so maybe they can tone that down a few notches.

I would giggle myself sick if everyone port begging for PC and next gen got a three month ban. It would just make me so happy. Those people are insufferable.
 
I can not wait to go ahead and dive into the depth and eventually get eaten by a shark.

The first thing that popped up inside my head while watching the Gameplay Trailer is if they have something to show at the bottom of that lake, where the jet flies over the dam.

This game makes me feel like I am 14 again because that was when Vice City got released.
