Freiburg. The dann age confirmation App on the dudes device didn't work. He almost took it with him for me to pick up tomorrow.
I made it work...

Hah, nice work
Yeah, well I guess I have to wait. It's in my town since saturday. It has to arrive today, everything else would be ...crap.

Why the hell would I need 36Gb to install an 18Gb game D: This is the most bullshit ever xD I can only clear up to 31.

 

[casablanca]

Is there any review thread ?
Gamekult (french) just released a review:

Spoiler

9/10

Maybe it has to keep the 18gb install, and install the game so its double. Fuck bro hope you can get it to work. I will send out a prayer

You gonna get a new hdd?

Is it not coming to XBL day one?

18GB 'installer package', the remaining 18 needed to extract the file. Once that is done, the original 18 will probably be removed and cleared.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Which is saying a lot because it actually improved on GTAIV.

GTAIV controls like a drunk pterodactyl with a broken wing.

You're goddamn right.

If GTAV doesn't control at least as well as Max Payne I will be disappointed.

 

[MJLord]

It depends on what is cheaper and quicker tbh. I'm pissed I was fooled by PSN into having enough space. I'm not sure I've heard of any installer in the world that requires double space. But maybe thats my fault.
Probably gonna try for a refund but going to get the disked copy is probably the cheapest fix.

 

[brokenbeans]

Its unlikely but XBL recently have had a lot more 'newer' games for sale.

 

[kingmozo9]

whats the point giving me a tracking number, royal mail, if there aint "no data".. clowns lmao

 

[ufo8mycat]

I have been hearing from quite a few people that this game even surpasses Red Dead Redemption!

OH MY GOD

They seem to be pretty picky when it comes to cons... swearing NPCs?

Garbage review, I can tell from the funny words(learn english?) that they are fanboys who don't know jack.

+ARMA III.

Arma III will be next year's goty, as of now it feels rather barren.

Quick question I have a 16Gb pen drive I can reformat to FAT32 and use as an external. Will it allow it now the space is there? or does it all have to be in one location?

EDIT: nvm I found out no

+ New Gen, I mean, this is becoming my best gaming year of all time, at 31, with 25 years of active gaming behind.

 

[Shawn6661]

For information, Gamekult.com don't give 0 or 10/10.
I don't know if the review is good but i trust Gamekult as the number 1 source when it comes to scores. They dont throw 9s as candies.

 

[Chance Hale]

"The distance display, hallucinatory" as a positive, I love google translate. For people who know French, what is "This science writing" supposed to mean? "Cette science dans l'écriture"

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

Its not released until tomorrow wtf do you want?

tl;dr, post office doesn't deliver first class next day for me, if it hasn't shipped yet I won't get it till weds.

[AzureSkies]

No, that was a mistake.

So we're getting no preload?

That's bullshit. I can't believe I wasted my money on a digital copy

 

[ekim]

I can grab my copy from Gamestop in about 4 1/2 hours.

[Chance Hale]

Has SCEA ever explained why they don't do pre-loads but Europe does?

 

[lazybones18]

Made sure to dust off my 360 before I went to bed tonight cause I wouldn't have time to do so during the day (school). Almost ready for the big day. Just need a can of air to air out the vent on the system

 

[Dahaka]

Are there any file size differences between both versions? Higher audio for PS3?

Haven't gotten mine on Saturday - no time.

 

[Vico]

Dont worry, the Gamekult crew is usually harsh.
Their 9 would be worth an 11 on IGN.

 

[red731]

Still in preparation!!!!!! I EXPECT CHANGE TODAY OR TOMMOROW! OR

 

[GlamFM]

Can anyone who has the game let me know if it is still tap A or X to run?

It is.

 

[Chance Hale]

Max Payne 3 had higher quality audio on the PS3 as with most games so I'm sure V will as well. And if it wasn't clear I was being silly above.

Bomba, critical disaster, Rockstar will go bankrupt. It's over, friends.

 

[MJLord]

I just want to clarify if you have a disked cop you don't need more than 30Gb to install the game to the HDD?

 

[Yoshichan]

Yoshi!!!!! Broooooo

Yooooooooooooooooooo!

My thoughts exactly. This year has equaled 2008 for me. I didn't think that would happen (I've been gaming for 20+ years). What a way to close off this gen!

 

[ekim]

When's the review embargo lifting?

 

[Gandie]

Hah, nice work

I'm very lucky, that I'm one of the first houses on his tour. I'm at class now so I won't be able to play it until later tonight. Stupid new semester

Not out of 10. They only score on a scale of 1-9.

 

[Shawn6661]

The +/- translated :

+ an open-world lesson
+ the display distance, astounding
+ situations are as great as varied
+ an excellent trio
+ the junction missions
+ that writing
+ planes, helicos, submarines
+ pleasant fanservice
+ and even golf !

- stiff gunfights
- the characteristic, really secondary
- NPCs swear
- we would like more trio missions
- confuse training
- the tennis is meh
- if there were coop...

 

[LAA]

My copy just arrived from Shopto in the early morning post. Am I dreaming? It's only 7.30am here in the UK still!

Nice! Was wondering of R* saying they wanted no retailers to dispatch before today (which I thought was pretty selfish to put people's chances at getting GTAV on release date in jeopardy for...what? Leaked videos? Already there, just punishing legit customers), but cool ShopTo is still on form.
My brother is getting this and he's hoping to go into a shop on launch and get it there. Secretly hoping 360 version is sold out and PS3 version is in stock cause I want it on PS3 more, but win-win either way really.

My tracking code still not active, doesn't look like I'll be getting mine today, last time I use Amazon UK.

That's harsh and stupid, ha ha.
It's a privilege to get a game early, not a right. If you care about getting games early, which isn't guaranteed anyway, ShopTo are usually the best for me.
Amazon UK though have usually delivered games a day before release for me though and that's all I want really. If not on release I'd be pissed, (Like GAME UK... the thing they specialise in they cant do...)but I just see each early day as a bonus.

 

[Covfan]

A lot of reports of the preload corrupting overnight, if you did the preload I'd check it now to make sure it isn't now "corrupted data"

"A lesson".

It says graphics are pretty incredible for these machines. Best Open World game ever.

I'd buy it instantly if not for the hope it will be ported to PS4 early next year.

Their scale only goes to 9. So it's 9/9 or 100% in Metacritic terms.
