Same with me, but I'm staying pessimistic. I'm not expecting a guaranteed delivery on Monday.
I'm staying pessimistic and do not expect one before the 21st, which is when they'll close down the city (till the 29th) for the world cycling championship.
*sigh*

I searched for the game on YouTube and... I wanna... UUUEEGGGH
Why would you do that bro!! We're so close! Dems a minefield out dere!!
Ive actually gone over the past three weeks to 'Can't get refresh NeoGAF and the subreddit enough' to 'the GTAV OT is the only place I'm safe,' and I haven't even visited the official website for te past two updates. I've gone past hype to Hype Overdrive, where all I can do is wait.
I know. But let me dream

Lighting is everything. Anyone who doubts that just have to look at GT5 and how the amazing lighting in that game can make even the shitty standard cars look good. GTAV lighting is amazing BTW.
Driving controls (and physics) on IV is better but I'm getting used to it on V. Didn't like the bike physics though.
how did they change the bike physics?
i think the R* Warehouse still has them, no collector's though.
I'm just teasing myself
But some of those thumbs, yeah, the lighting looks great for sure

The retail version also installs on the drive. So if any I expect the difference to be minor.

Yeah, like I said, it's just my silly standards. PC gaming ruined my eyes and now all I notice are those jaggy shadows and framerate drops, fuck my life.
But the scope of the game is impressive, driving around and looking at those skyscrapers in the background is pretty damn cool. I can't wait to see how this will look on PC and next gen consoles.

Ohh really, it installs the whole thing?
I thought it was only a few gigs that it installed. Not the full 18gb.

Plus if you're a multiplayer person, 360 always has a bigger player base for that.
Lots of timed missions, and three or four RC missions in the first 20 minutes from what I've seen.
not really
Your jokes aren't funny! I'm replaying GTA III of all things to get hyped for V and goddamn are almost all of the timed missions are ass. I never understood why chasing people in a cop car had a time limit. Like, what if time goes away, is the call for the criminal pulled? It's silly.
It makes me want to use codes to lock the timer to make it play more like IV, which I found to be the most reasonable regarding missions.

Way late, but playing without UPnP benefits the online of Rockstar games significantly. GTA IV, the DLC's, Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3 are all like this. I went from disconnects and a lack of players on all of those titles, to full lobbies and lagless gameplay. I'd give that a go.
Hopefully the netcode for GTA Online is improved.
It's brilliant. The taps begin to represent a stride. So you can tap less frequently, and jog. Tap more frequently, and run. Or tap a lot, and sprint. I've always enjoyed it.
Yep, those were rough, as were all of the remote control missions. Like the RC ones. I sucked so badly at those.

Ridiculous how everyone else is getting it, r* failed on pleading with these companies on shipping.

I think so. Maybe I got it wrong. Someone confirm.
The installation disc and disc 2 combined are taking up 15.4GB on my 360 HDD
Disc 1 seems to be split into 4 sub folders on the HDD, each 2.0GB bar the fourth which is 1.7GB. Disc 2 is 7.7GB installed
What A Fool Believes is going to be so dope the first time I hear it in game. Classic pop song.I listened to "what a fool believes" before it was leaked as a song in the gta V soundtrack

I'm with you! I love my tap to Sprint- it's classic Rockstar, and I always feel like I'm picking up the pace. It feels like a different transition from just walking, and you can physically feel it. That running workout!
Holding a button doesn't do it for me!
Wow, he kissed the case. His hype train must have flown off the rails.
Good on him.
And if you (not you, The perfect Dark) have a problem with that, how old were you when you played GTA III?
So far, I've met more ppl getting the PS3 version then ppl getting the 360 version.
Also, there's still no proof that the 360 version is better. Hell, he's the only one who's mentioning those 18 - 20 fps issues, and even the 360 has a lower framerate in the downtown area. It's also been noticed by quite a few people that the PS3 has less popup then the 360.
Unless people who actually played both versions tell their stories, we won't know for sure.

Cool and very sad at the same time. 11 year old kids should not be playing this game.
As Antitrop said, I would let my kid play it but maybe not until he's around 16~. My oldest is 11. No way is he ready to process GTA with the mindset of an adult.
GTA III came out 2 months before my 17th birthday, but I first played GTA 1 when I was 13.
He has active parents, he'll be fine.
But either you subscribe to 18+, or you think age ratings are interpret-able. Yes, 11 might be a little bit young, but it's not like our youth where we have fun, 'cartoony' games. Where's the Crash Bandicoot equivalent?

I was 14 when it came out, don't think I played it until I was 16.
Heh. I was about that when San Andreas came out. I had it.
Most of you had 18 games when you were young too.

I must have been around 24 at that time. I know that most of my life I haven't needed my parents to buy mature games. I've been of age.
Sexually active? No kid that age should be playing but I'm insulted or anything. As I noted, I have an 11 year old. There is no parental supervision which would compensate for the amount of violence and sex/language in that game.
Yeah- I guess it's up to those parents to judge what's best.
I started playing GTA III at 13- so it's not much better, but it was a graphically less evolved world back then. I mean you can feel the weight of a weapon, watch bodies recoil to gun fire, and the impactful physics of Euphoria inspire some great times.
But not at 11!
Eh, i was probably younger than him when i saw Robocop and a bunch of other stuff.
Especially if his parents play with him, it's not a big deal.
Depends on how mature is the kid, of course.

I did it on the quiet (is this the right word?)
My parents would never have let me play something like this.

I was 11, but I had to play it at friends' houses and such.
Better to do it with parents supervision, that way they can frame things, and explain things, and constantly asses the situation.
