Maybe they'll pull a Mafia 2 and have seasons *gasps for air*

 

[valkillmore]

Nope. Not for me. I like the way it was fixed in RDR and how they said it was going to be in GTA V. Its mostly the same when not in combat, but in combat there is a fixed jogging speed by default.

Did they confirm also that 'hold A to maintain speed' in horses in RDR will be applicable to driving in GTA V? If that is actually in the game, then that will make cruisin' as a clan completely boss.

Don't know whether it is real or fake but local shop owners in Pakistan have gotten their hands on the retail copy. They are selling it at ridiculous prices though.

LOL. but, apparently this guy sold Black Ops 2, two weeks before release.

Bring on the button taps for sprinting. It's the way it's always been for this series. Sprinting should take a bit of effort, not relegated to some half assed click of a stick.

 

[keltickennedy]

Wat? They shouldn't be selling these games to kids.

My girlfriend worked at a local shop here in Pittsburgh called The Exchange. She told me stories of grown ass men coming in asking, "Yo got dat GTA EYE VEE". lol.

 

[Thaumaturgic Tomato]

Because the logo is inspired by this:

Wow thanks. I haven't looked at cash in years. Consider me educated on the matter.

NTSC. I thought only PAL did the yellow strip for review/promotional copies.

Anyone here get review copies in the NTSC region?

Well obviously, but that doesn't stop the kids asking for it before they get told they are to young,

Apparently, this site has contacted the shop owner for evidence.

I wouldn't be surprised if it actually has leaked. I remember LittleBigPlanet being available in the Middle East almost a month before release.

Which one? I work in town and got Splinter Cell from the one by the convention center. The Exchange in Squirrel Hill used to break street date a few years back; that got ruined somehow and they stopped.

Part of me wants Buckethead to name the OT something completely different just for all the complaints it will get..

I like your style.

funny ha ha?

Funny like a clown, I amuse you.

 

[Pachimari]

An annoying tapathon. I hated having to tap that button.
I did like the game overall though.

Isn't that how it have always been? I loved it in prior GTA games.

Yes; X to run, tap X to sprint.

I call it fake. Show us a video of you having the copy and playing it.

Supposedly the same guy had Black Ops 2 two weeks before release and let's be honest, if that's possible, having GTA is, too.

Southside on East Carson St. If I get it early I will let you know.

I don't like not having full control of the camera when I'm sprinting. Especially if it is away from cops or enemies. I would constantly be moving my thumb back and forth from the A button to the right stick. I actually had a technique where I would tap A with my middle finger and have my index and thumb on the right stick. lol.

In San Andreas and IV, yeah. In 3 and Vice City, it was just hold x to sprint, which was far better. Personally, I prefer using the trigger to sprint. More comfortable, and it's easier to control the camera while doing so.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Really started with San Andreas. In 3 and VC you just held down X to run. Although I think if you tapped X you could run indefinitely. Not sure though, as my first stop in those games is always the ambulance. But anyway, once it was introduced it wasn't a problem and still isn't.

 

[Celestial Mortal]

Then there shouldn't be a problem with a running video or unboxing/unwrapping of it Atleast. If it has been leaked people would've bought it by now, no?

For sure man; let me know. I used to have a connection a few years back but some goofball blabbed about it, and they stopped..for me at least.

In all three PS2 era GTA's you could sprint for a bit but the main character would revert back to a run after a while, if you stop running altogether the character stops to regain breath. Getting the stamina stat all the way up in San Andreas made sprinting last much longer.

One of the first things Im doing is finding a television so I can catch the latest episode of Republican Space Rangers (assuming they return and I hope to christ they do)

You will enjoy GTA V then. That's all I'll say.

Some new superhero. It was mentioned in one of the hands off previews.

I loved watching Republican Space Rangers.

Pakistan is not even an officially supported country by Sony or even by MS (If I'm not wrong), so how would he get his hands on early stocked copies?

If he has contacts abroad then does that mean less copies in the official countries?
