[mrklaw]

looking forward to it. This is really my first GTA game. I've tried a couple before but could never really get into them.

 

[ieatzombies]

This is great. Portland in a nutshell. Don't kill me! I used to live there.

 

[tfur]

"Should I get the game?"

Lmao you're in the GTAV OT!

You're gonna get the game

Just pre-ordered. The hype got to me...

 

[antitrop]

Probably the types of music it offers. There's not much there if you're a rock or metal fan.

Yes, this is unfortunate, but I will deal. I know the soundtrack won't let me down, overall. I respect the decisions Rockstar has made.

 

[aravuus]

Great so I awake to more confusion than ever. I have it pre ordered for the 360.

What system am I supposed to get this for? What do i do install the 1st disc, not the second?

Just install the obligatory disc, conveniently named "install disc", and don't install the play disc.

 

[MoGamesXNA]

It blows my mind that GTA V has better car engine sounds than Gran Turismo 5.

 

[ieatzombies]

Just curious. What did Sessler score this?

10am tomorrow can not get here fast enough. I will be knocking the door down to GameStop. Hopefully I won't get a speeding ticket on my way home to play.

 

[Sirolf]

Installing it right naoooooo...

 

[DannyCool]

5/5.

But what I get so nervous I install the play disc and play the install disc?

Morgan Haro confirmed 12 am EST

The PSN Store still says 12:01 AM PST, so I'm sticking with that for now, especially after the preload debacle over the weekend.

 

[Fjordson]

Fair point I suppose.

The Franklyn character looks to be the most interesting lead to come from Rockstar in a long time. I'm not sure if Houser wrote him but either way it's a step in the right direction.

Yeah, that's what some of the reviews have said about Trevor.

This reminds me that I'd really like to see R* make a game where you play as someone on the right side of the law. A cop, an FBI agent or something. Hell, maybe Agent would have been that (hopefully that thing hasn't been canceled). It might allow them to break out of the "bad guys getting pulled back in" thing.

That's why you roll up 5 minutes after midnight, walk in, walk out. Go home.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Yeah when I looked at the list I came away thinking it's much closer to 4 than Vice City/San Andreas in that aspect. But I do think it has a better list than 4, where I barely knew any song outside of the rock station and that one Kanye song they used. At least I know most of the songs in the classic west coast hip hop station.

We'll have to see how the talk stations turn out too. That was another incredibly weak showing in 4.

Pretty much every station on 4 was from a music scene that exploded at one time or another in New York (Minimalism, Alt-Rock, Jazz, Fusion etc.), so I see why they went that way. Although I understand that it doesn't have the nostalgic impact of VC/SA, it introduced me to some nifty music that I'd never have come across otherwise.

Hell, maybe Agent would have been that (hopefully that thing hasn't been canceled). It might allow them to break out of the "bad guys getting pulled back in" thing.

It still has a listing on the Social Club /hopeful

 

[Ensirius]

Driving in this game is pure sex

They managed to make driving a lot more fun while retaining that realistic physics feel IV implemented.

Hahaa love it!

Thank you good sirs.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

I didn't get the game a day early. Shopto caved in to Rockstar I see.

No need to wait, real men get the game early.

Come at me R*.

[MoGamesXNA]

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories is free for PS Plus members this month. There's no escaping GTA this week.

It's a good time to be Rockstar fan.

Discrepancies btwn 360 and PS3 versions?

They did, LA Noire

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Just as an aside, I indefensibly caved to my own hype and I watched all the trailers back to back like 15 times over the weekend, and I kept catching myself mumbling Skeletons under my breath during our Monday morning production meeting when I should have been paying attention.

 

[antitrop]

They did, LA Noire

Rockstar published that, and had a small hand in the development (from what I've heard), but that's not like... a Rockstar creation. Not the same Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne 3, GTA 4/5 Rockstar.

Team Bondi was the primary developer of LA Noire, and now they're doing that "Whore of the Orient" game... Ya.

Probably the types of music it offers. There's not much there if you're a rock or metal fan.

This. GTA games typically only have a couple of songs I like. I was playing San Andreas the other day, and while K-DST and Radio X each play a few nice songs (Freebird always works) there's not much else there for me. I'm first and foremost a progressive rock/metal fan, and that kind of music simple doesn't exist in the GTA universe. But then again, real-life radio stations don't play it either.

EDIT: Queen being in this game is awesome though.

 

[Definity]

Order has shipped from Amazon. Can't wait!

 

[xxracerxx]

This is great. Portland in a nutshell. Don't kill me! I used to live there.

Bah at you!

 

[Acorn]

I love gtas music selection.

 

[Zornack]

Discrepancies btwn 360 and PS3 versions?

I'm wondering the same thing. From the few anecdotal accounts I've read it sounds like they're pretty much the same, maybe the PS3 is more apt to drop below 30, but it looks like we'll have to wait for a more technical breakdown.

 

[sdornan]

Anyone see this yet?

Rockstar Releases 'iFruit' Companion App for 'Grand Theft Auto V'

[Pyronite]

The responses to Carolyn Petit's review on GameSpot and YouTube are fucking disgusting and one of the reasons I really think gamer culture is fucked up.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

My Amazon order still hasn't shipped...still at "shipping soon"

Mine updated from "Shipping Now" to Shipped at 4:10AM Eastern, if you're in the US don't worry about it, it'll ship by tonight.

Just install the obligatory disc, conveniently named "install disc", and don't install the play disc.

I saw the story on Gamespot and I imagine it's for reasons I expected, the second disc just streams the music/radio and video for TV/internet and GTA V is probably using as much of the HDD transfer speed that it can for streaming the world.

It blows my mind that GTA V has better car engine sounds than Gran Turismo 5.

Seriously?


Ahhh! 24 hours to go!

 

[Symphonia]

Littlewoods/Shop Direct have confirmed I will have my 500GB PS3/GTA V bundle tomorrow afternoon, just in time for when I get home from work. Now, the real question - do I wait until my new TV arrives on Friday or do I just hook it up and play on the old Sony tube?

 

[DukeBobby]

Discrepancies btwn 360 and PS3 versions?

Very little.

 

[Amagon]

Whelp, the review thread just got locked. Geezus.

 

[ieatzombies]

Bah at you!

I know..it was a cheap shot. I kiid I kiid ;-)

 

[Fjordson]

They did, LA Noire

Sort of. It was written by Brendan McNamara and mostly developed by Team Bondi. I'd love to see a full on Rockstar production.

 

[Militant17]

Game is crazy good. Love it. That is all.
Oh and I haven't noticed any frame rate issues on the PS3 version either.

 

[Derrick01]

Just curious. What did Sessler score this?

Dickens/Tolstoy

Oh sorry. I meant 5/5.
