I'm up in the North East and still on 'not despatched yet' from Amazon. I've got Prime though so will be getting a courier delivery, just a bit frustrating to see it might have been better off going through regular First Class postage.

On my ride into Sunderland today I saw like half a dozen ads on boards, don't usually see them for games round here, mostly just films!

The key word there is 'Might'. With courier you are guaranteed release day. With first class, there is a chance it may work out better, but equally there is a chance it may work out worse.

As I mentioned, Royal Mail's reliability is exactly the reason Amazon send those one's out earlier. To try and and ensure a higher percentage actually make it on time.

Take comfort in the knowledge that while you may not receive it early, you absolutely won't receive it late.

Jesus fuck this game looks insane. I'm starting to see some gifs on reddit and stuff. Damn son.

 

[D4Danger]

Just got a shipped email from amazon uk. Should be here on Monday, cannot wait.

this makes me sad and hopeful. but mostly sad.

Is Gaming Age Family still the main PS3 gang? Just wondering since I was kicked from it.

 

[Lima]

If you are on 360 and install the 2nd disc how much total? 16 GB?

15,4 GB total

Oh you have noidea. You can go to the spoiler thread. We mostly talk about the gameplay there anyways

 

[Gaz_RB]

GAF Steet is packed! We are going to be fucking shit up come October 1st!

#1 crew in the world? Lets do it!

 

[Hoo-doo]

Ah, joined Gaming Age Family.

Feels good to be home.

 

[Tsundere]

So excited for this game, I've been craving for some GTA for such a long time. Can't wait!

 

[Cheddahz]

I just placed a pre-order down on the Microsoft Store, due to the free money and release date shipping

Now I have to drive to Gamestop to cancel my pre-order and criticize by the employees for doing so :/

 

[VelociMaster]

does anyone else get the impression that Michael is the "main protagonist" of the trio...

 

[Heimbeck]

does anyone else get the impression that Michael is the "main protagonist" of the trio...

Well he was shown in the first trailer and is the one who is the "glue" between Franklin and Trevor.

So yeah I can see why anyone would think that but I don't know if that's how R* want us to see him.

 

[Cheddahz]

does anyone else get the impression that Michael is the "main protagonist" of the trio...

I hope not. I want the "main protagonist" to be Franklin

 

[Psychoward]

Okay.

Nope, he didn't even look me in the eyes. Just kept staring straight and said "No, Tuesday" then asked for the next customer. :/

Now I have to wait until Wednesday because I work until 8 on Tuesday. Blegh.

 

[VelociMaster]

I hope not. I want the "main protagonist" to be Franklin

ehh.... it doesn't seem like it... I think Michael imo is the best character, I like frank and trev to... its just Michael is so unique, something you wouldn't expect from a gta protagonist.. that makes him intriguing I guess

 

[chemicals]

Just pre-ordered it from microsoft store.. is that 20 buck microsoft money refund correct?

Now I'm excited.

 

[liquidtmd]

If you are on 360 and install the 2nd disc how much total? 16 GB?

I mentioned this a few pages back, both discs combined take up 15.4gb on the 360.

Install disc alone installs four sub folders each 2.0gb bar the fourth which is 1.7gb = 7.7gb

 

[waypoetic]

Yup.

Did you fill out the google doc?

 

[Alienous]

Eh ... I feel like Franklin will be the main character.

Michael is really defined. Trevor is too undefined. Franklin is the most like other GTA characters. His 'hero's journey' will be the most significant, I think.

 

[Cheddahz]

Now I'm excited.

Yes, you'll get 20 free bucks to use on the store

ehh.... it doesn't seem like it... I think Michael imo is the best character, I like frank and trev to... its just Michael is so unique, something you wouldn't expect from a gta protagonist.. that makes him intriguing I guess

I just like the huge gangsta feel of SA, so Franklin has the character I have been most excited about playing as

 

[valkillmore]

Warning about reddit. I just saw a post on the front page that spoiled something hilarious from GTA V. I clicked on it not thinking it would be a spoiler, and it was.

Can't go anywhere anymore.

 

[VelociMaster]

do you guys believe this game has the potential to surpass TLOU.... talking objectively

I mean story-wise probably not, but the overall package

 

[Screaming Meat]

does anyone else get the impression that Michael is the "main protagonist" of the trio...

According to an interview with one of the Housers, they went out of their way to make sure they were all equal.

 

[Tattooth]

Yup.

Did you fill out the google doc?

No, could someone shoot me a link?

 

[RoKKeR]

2 completely different games, almost can't be compared in any way.

I like the san andreas nostalgia as well

but Michael is just so unique, I just love everything about his character

 

[Hoo-doo]

Stripped my ps3 down and give it a re-paste. I'm ready

 

[UnrealEck]

I've watched hours of the game being streamed and I can honestly say I think this GTA will be the best in the series.
I was thinking of writing a blog type feature on what I've seen without spoiling the story and just going into detail on things like the environments, sound design and stuff.

 

[Darklor01]

Sony said 12 am EDT:

Not 12AM EDT. Taken today from PS Store on my PS3

 

[TimeEffect]

So what features used to get you excited for a new GTA?

For me,

GTA III: Genre defining gameplay, beating up people for that precious floating cash, hydraulics

Vice City: Shooting out tires, the beaches, buying property, robbing stores, buying clothes, headshotting people through the window shields, bikes/helis

San Andreas: The 90s setting, bicycles, flying airplanes, the vast countryside/Mt. Chiliad, the map's variety, RPG elements, playing a black guy and living that gangsta life

Not to forget that every GTA game, I love the rain filters and chat radio shows.

So many little things in the series hyped me for the game.

 

[valkillmore]

Stripped my ps3 down and give it a re-paste. I'm ready

I'm thinking of buying another PS3. I have a 80GB fatty and it's full to the brim. Also, I'm afraid this game will fucking kill it.

I don't want that super slim one though. I'd like the slim, the one that looks all kinds of sexy. What HD size does the first revision max out at, and can you still buy them in stores?

 

[El_Chino]

Any of you guys have your Amazon orders shipped yet?

 

[hlhbk]

GAF Street

So I am confused. How do I join?

 

[robertoci]

Changed my Amazon UK delivery to expedited, god damn I wanna make sure this game gets here on Tuesday. Booked a day off and all for it

 

[Rebel Leader]

Any of you guys have your Amazon orders shipped yet?

in the US? Nope but I bet it will start tonight.

 

[Easystride]

They usually don't ship till Monday night. Don't worry, they always get there on time.

 

[VelociMaster]

Michael is really defined. Trevor is too undefined. Franklin is the most like other GTA characters. His 'hero's journey' will be the most significant, I think.

Franklin is the most traditional gta protagonist of the 3, the most "normal" you can say

but i would say Michael is the central protagonist of the 3, since he's been like the main focus in all the trailers... and the story seems like it follows him the most

but just my theory

Whereabouts? I live in the area myself.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

You know what I think is massively underrated in the GTA series, especially SA?

The flight controls. Every aerial vehicle has a suitable weight to it, and the controls are perfectly intuitive. Shame Battlefield can't just copy it imo, although I guess it encourages a seperation of good and bad pilots to make them more convoluted

I actually like it.

The emblem maker is such shit on the site. So unless someone can work some magic and make a new one, we can deal

 

[Martian]

We're gonna go to OT2 before the game actually releases

Must be a record
