I just hope the damn water is not that murky (for performance sakes) and that I can only see what is in front of me from about 10 yards away.
If you guys had to pick one thing that gets you the most excited for GTA V...what would it be?
For me it would have to be the fact that we can explore and go on treasure hunts underwater!
It's the city.
That's it, I play it for the world they make.
Fuck Michael and Franklin and Chop and Hillbilly - fuck em, I play to live in that world, it's fucking glorious.

Good call. For me though:
Heists. I love me some fictional armed robbery... especially with the MP3 shooting mechanics. Aw, yea.

When they said that the map was much bigger than GTA4. They forgot to mention that two thirds of it was empty :/

5 years of development.
Do not think that the landscape is going to be barren, my friend. There are going to be dozens of cabins, shacks on land and perhaps even underground caves and sunken ships on the bottom of the ocean.

Do you guys think not having the added bonuses given by the special edition really matters? 25% on special abilities sounds like a lot to me right now..

The vast country and desert has been in pretty much every bit of media about the game. And since when has GTA had a big world with nothing to do? This isn't Just Cause. You could also aim the same criticism at San Andreas. Sure, it has 3 cities, but all 3 combined don't even begin to reach the scale of Los Santos. Not to mention the country/desert are my favourite locations in San Andreas and RDR is my favourite game this gen.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Lions and cougars and bears, oh my.
That is pathetic. People wanted wide open spaces; you can do so much instead of a crammed city.

Sure, but do you think that matters in the clutch of an intense mission even on SP?

Not particularily excited for underwater. Can't see shit down there.
To contradict what others in this thread have said, I actually like going back to an "empty" map - the real world is fucking "empty"
Some of the best GTA moments ever was in GTA:SA just cruising along a highway with fuck all around, going off the road and finding a track leading to a farm or a small tinpot shithole town or something.
FFFFFFFFFFnnnnnnnnnGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I'm so ready FUCK!
nah i like a good challenge
previews say that checkpoints are placed fairly in missions

I quite enjoyed it, but I'm biased since I'm from NYC and just traveling in Liberty City felt just like NYC. I hope we'll get a Liberty City expansion for GTAO

Truth be told, I'm really disappointed with the map as well at a first look. The city it self may be big, but I would really prefer if they spread that out a bit instead of having one big city (south) and one BIG country side (north). I'm gonna play the shit out of this regardless, but the map layout at a first glance is bugging me.

That and :
The sharks. It's a mixture of fear and fascination I have with them.

I loved it, I am using the ENB mod on PC and I kinda miss the gloomy look sometimes.
I fancy myself quite the cougar hunter.
Oh right, animals....we're talking in-game animals....
I am sorry, I'll let myself out.

Will there be a fold-out map included in the box? That special edition blueprint map makes me worried.

Probably IGN's 11/10 on Friday and the rest on September 16th/17th.

I feel like I have enough information, I don't want specifics which is leaking this time, I like the stuff from previous GTA releases, it kind of came out in a more generic feel I guess.

Yeah, sometimes the countryside actually has countryside. There is a HUGE city (biggest one they've ever done) in the game PLUS all that "empty" which includes other areas of interest.
Probably one of the weirdest complaints I've seen. I always felt GTA IV was too "small" because everything just kind of blurred together into one big city (which was the expected outcome, it was supposed to be one big city) but now you get that coupled with random things we've seen in all the trailers (dams, huge bridges, canyons, mountains, rivers, lakes, farmland, different smaller towns, etc ... ).
I mean, I get the complaint if LS was small, but it's been noted to be the size of LC by the developers in a couple interviews.

Many of those things were the first thing that came to my mind. The 3 mountain areas aren't nearly as enticing as las venturas was.
Exactly this.
Not watching any video reviews and hoping that the descriptions don't spoil anything !
It so won't be - it just wn't be at all. Who knows, it's GTA there's probably fucking treasure to dig for with a shovel too (I have no idea)

I'm talking purely on a performance point of view. I'm getting a refund if it runs like shit. I appreciate a lot of you don't care, and after GTA IV's backlash that's your prerogative.
The Ballad of Gay Tony would like a word!

Here's an approximate comparison to the San Andreas map based on the street sizes

Creating such a huge world where you can use fighter jets and fast cars is pretty much a necessity unless you want players to go through it in matter of an hour or two.
Throw in a grappling hook while they're at it.
Nice to see the map. Seems like they increased the "scale" of the world pretty massively, going by the comparison. Liberty City might be "more city" it's also more condensed, and more skyscrapers. But LS looks like a "real" city.
It looks "smaller" but obviously isn't. So either cars traverse faster in this game than IV, or it's gonna take awhile to get anywhere in this game :lol
Looks like the 2 other "larger" secondary cities cover as much space as Bohan in IV, so that's nice, and maybe if you combined those 2 cities and the 3rd next largest (
), looks like it might equal the size of Dukes.
Now, I have a good guess at what the Purple transportation lines are (Trains). I've got hopes for that red line (Subways?).
Lots and lots of curvy mountain roads

I agree. The fact that you can't see much adds to the atmosphere.
GTA4 certainly wasn't a 60fps full 720p experience but I played it to completion and enjoyed it. If you really want it quality - I can get behind that, I hear you. I would suspect that will be covered in some reviews but glossed over by the rest :/
