In terms of scope and ambition it truly seems that GTA V is to IV as San Andreas was to III.

I can't stop looking at that thread.

I was in there at its earliest stages, so all I really saw were blurry, obscure Vines of some mundane stuff (which of course looked awesome).
I'm glad I cut it there, this game will basically still feel fresh when I pop it in because I really haven't seen nothing.

Yeah he's really interesting too. I love the line "I'm Rich, but I'm miserable! Hey, I'm pretty average for this town."
I don't think Rockstar have given any indication of that.
Missions have checkpoints, according to the previews. The penalties of getting busted, or wasted, aren't really known.

Praise the sun, I will get the game today and maybe take some direct screenshots from the game if anybody is interested. Thanks gaf for keeping me sane during the last couple of days 
Yeah same, I was in there all day yesterday, seeing all the Instagram and Vine videos of basis GTA shenanigans like driving and shooting. Didn't want to see story spoilers though.
I repeat: if you want to see gameplay, but no story spoilers, don't even think about going over there. I just got something kind of big spoiled.

Sounds like there will not be an "episodes of LC" type thing, but Rockstar has not said either way. Before GTAIV came out they had promises of DLC, but nobody knew what it would be. It was relatively easy to infer that they'd bring in new characters who would be set during the events of the game, because some missions (like the museum heist mission) were very obviously planned for 3 characters.
it sounds like GTA V is an completed experience and won't have DLC.
They are committed to releasing content for GTA Online. Benzies said in an interview that they'll be releasing new missions "faster than gamers can play it." I think the focus will be on GTA Online, but it also sounds like there will be many "solitary" GTA Online missions that you won't need friends/others to play. It also sounds like you can hire computer controlled NPCs as well to fill in certain roles.
I'm itching for a Los Santos zombie DLC mode one day. It'd be awesome.
I just, you know. You must be playing. You are, aren't you.
I'm very interested to hear the full line of "A few weeks ago I was happily sulking by my swimming pool".
In the final trailer there is a small cut between happily and sulking. Might just be profanity, or there might be more to it.

Everyone was going crazy, just like this. It was actually worse because it leaked so early (2 weeks I think?) and there were tons and tons of gifs everywhere.
You keep your weapons and everything. Way less strict than past games, it's great.
Yeah, that line sounded awkward in the trailer. Might be a cut or something.I'm very interested to hear the full line of "A few weeks ago I was happily sulking by my swimming pool".

But I have to say, Ned Luke gives a hell of a performance as Michael in this game.

I couldn't help but peek at the spoiler thread, and it was great. I can't go back in there though.
Just 4 more days!

We will see, it will took about 15 hours for my line to download 17,2 GB of data :|

Not really. I don't see why it couldn't be automated or at the very least, done remotely.
Bought off US PSN. I have to have this on my HDD, willing to take the chance on a late download time Monday night though. Also upgraded my internet connection.
Such a shitty week, having GTAV on the horizon is giving me a light at the end of the tunnel. At least it's finally fucking friday. The 13th. lulz

Judging from the streams, both look perfectly fine. You can't go wrong with either version.

I have about 9 to10 GB left on my HDD, i hope they're enough (i mean for the disc copy).

OH that is fucking annoying. I have £50 in my PSN wallet waiting for this.
I can't believe it! The whole reason I went for preload is cause I am going to Uni on Sunday and I can't go to a store and the game would be delivered to my house, not my uni accomodation.
Thats ridiculous! So fucking angry. Why have they delayed the pre load?!
Presumably to avoid more leaks.

I wonder why they delayed PSN preload from today to Monday, since people who want to crack the game files open can do that with X360 version, which already leaked, and with PS3 version which already leaked couple of weeks ago (and people will surely get their hands on the disc version and upload the files somewhere this weekend, if not today).
I just hope I'll be able to download the damn thing before midnight/Tuesday. And then go to sleep and let PS3 cool down a bit after the whole day of downloading. Nice move, SCEE. /s

MOTHERFUCK.
I got strict orders not to sell the game before september 17th, and not even staff can buy it. Our shipment arrives tomorrow. This is like the only fucking game ever that staff is not allowed to buy before street date! Are they fucking kidding me? Really? it had to be GTA V?
I'll get so shitfaced saturday night that I can barely even walk straight on sunday. That way I know I probably won't be thinking of GTA V that much. And when I DO think about it, I'll know I'm in no state to enjoy the game properly because of my massive hangover.

At least you didn't pay £50 and got gimped on a pre load. I seriously cant get my head around this. Now everyone is going to preload on the same god damn day.

BTW, people who think the GTAV map is "small"? Check out one of the first pics of the GTAIV (NOT the GTAV!) map. People were flipping out that it is "HUGE!!"
I can't imagine posting a pic of the GTAIV map is a spoiler, but just in case I'll link to the pic: http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee302/Space_Pirate_Ridley/P4261065.jpg
BTW I never once took the metro. I always took taxis. Anyone else take the metro?
