Really?
This thread was really slow for a day or two, but it seems to have picked up speed again. I guess people are getting bored of watching streams.
We will see. I loved GTA 3, loved GTA VC, HATED GTA SA, loved GTA IV, and loved RDR. Without spoiling anything how is the story in this one? I loved the stories in GTA IV and RDR.

I dunno, RDR and TLoU are neck and neck for my favorite games ever. GTA5 will be up there I'm sure, but I doubt I'll love it as much as RDR. I'm a huge western fan, and that game hit every note perfectly for me. I adore that game.

Scary to think what a GTA 6 or spin off will be like on next gen, from what I have seen on streams it looks like this will be a really good send off to current gen
I know I did. It was cool for a while but I feel like GTA is one of those games where actually playing is way more fun than watching haha

if money was no object apparently you would probably end up getting raped in an alley
Its gonna be tough to take that spot for me. There is a 3 way tie of Batman Akrham City, Uncharted 2, and Red Dead Redemption that it would have to over come.
This is fucking great to hear. I also hate IV and *mostly* disliked RDR. I seriously am so excited.
Wait...wha?

GTA 4 (at least for me) was missing that sense of wonder. The joy of discover.
Well..the first time I drove past Vinewood I was blown away like when you first realize that you can go up that mountain, in SA.
And it's not the sheer size of the map. It's the little things. Everything is so full of little details that the game makes you feel small in comparison of the game world.. like anything I played so far.
This is really the first day I have had time to talk to people about the game, so maybe it is going slower for me...

He describes it a little weird, but bad things can happen when you walk into a deal carrying 160 dollars in cash. These kind of scams do happen sadly.
Totally agree with this. Buy whichever version your friends are getting (or base your decision on controller preference). Technically there is little difference.

very easy to scam someone selling them a $160 sealed game, wouldn't give someone selling that my cash unless i saw them boot up the game
Meet in a very public place with a lot of people around and generally that doesn't happen.

Well. I couldn't care less about Niko. Never connected with the guy.
But michael... he's not the ordinary main character of a videogame. I can exactly tell you why but it's a combination of style, age, life, dialogues... I just love him.
I actually want to play just to see the story unfold.
Well the things is you won't even know if the game is in the box. Could very well be somy copy which you can't really check out on the street. Wasn't talking about violence or anything, but just a scam

that still doesn't secure that your $160 bought you anything more than $5 worth of plastic and shit printed at kinkos/your custom disc image printer
I feel you, brother. Michael looks to be the best GTA character, yet.

Eh I don't know if it'll top Arkham City or The Last of Us for me. I've never been the biggest fan of GTA but that online mode might just put it up there.
That makes me excited. I felt that the story certainly wasn't the focus in SA and felt there were to many useless mechanics added (fitness anyone?). I felt they focused on just making a huge game to fuck around in. To me a game has gotta at least have an interesting story for me to keep going.
I am really glad to hear the story is gripping people.
Fuck yeah, junior!
Love those movies. Just watched Bad Boys 1 and 2 as well. Getting in the mood!
Holy shit

Jim Sterling's review of GTAIV has the lowest score for the game on metacritic,
but was also the closest to the current user score.
The review was late so Destructoid could review the game properly without Rockstar's conditions and seemed to be the most accurate and least hype affected of all the reviews I read.
I am really looking forward to reading the reviews for GTAV in a peculiar way.

Are custom soundtracks in ?
Haha, definitely. It's a different set up (other side of the law obviously) but after watching some of the story on a stream yesterday I agree. Some of the crazier moments I saw remind me of 80's action movies. Game also seems a lot lighter in tone. Not too goofy, but there's some funny stuff in there.
So the game isn't very serious?
The Last of Us has set the bar pretty damn high, but I honestly think that GTA V can beat it.
Ya, so do I, and I think that would be crazy.
The Last of Us was so good. Like.... SO good.
i can't even pick my GOTY (Bioshock Infinite, TLOU, and maybe GTA V) let alone GOTG

Good stuff. And since the mechanics (walking, running, shooting, melee, etc.) all seem to have been vastly improved over IV, actually exploring the world will be better than any heist mission Rockstar can cook up.
But I'm sure the heist missions will still be fantastic.
I hope some of the reviews mention how long the game is. GTA IV had around 90, but obviously was way too bloated. Still, I wouldn't mind GTA V having as many missions if they are more varied and engaging. Though 70 or so seems like it would probably be the sweet spot for story missions, plus all of the other side stuff.
Nope, you're good
Difficult to tell apart; they are basically the same. Whatever platform you choose, the experience will be great.

There is absolutely nothing indicating a major performance difference. It'll look and perform great whatever you buy it for.

Easily. San Andreas is still both my favourite and best game I've ever played and this is obviously better so there's no doubt whatsoever in my mind, no other game of this generation even comes close.
1. The Last of Us
2. Red Dead Redemption
3. Dark Souls
4. Bioshock Infinite
5. Call of Duty 4
GTA V probably coming in at #1 or #2.

LA Noire had no euphoria physics and lacked the sheer scope of a GTA title.

Funds were just taken from my PSN (UK) account. Still can't download it though. Maybe in the morning.
RDR, GTA V and The Last of Us will be in mine as well. And probably Arkham City. Dunno about a fifth spot. Still need to play a game like Bioshock: Infinite for instance.
