The minutes are ticking by like hours. And the difference between the file going up at 12EST or 12PST is huge right now.

Ugh.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Yes, in fact, it is in their ad.

Its says 24 hour Walmarts only though.

A GTA V keychain will be included as well.

Ahh, nice.

Thanks.

 

[MThanded]

huh is this you?

 

[MoGamesXNA]

PS3 version here, nothing to complain about yet. But I suck at

Spoiler

driving and shooting at the same time

It's not just you. I'm terrible at that as well. It'd be great if there was a lock-on option for shooting while you're driving.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Still haven't got shipping confirmation.

The temptation to go out and get it at midnight in a few hours is very, very real.
I'd have to deal with the hassle of sending the ordered one back though.

Decisions, decisions.

 

[coughlanio]

I wish I was still able for all nighters, or I booked tomorrow off, but I'm just back from 10 days vacation, so wasn't really an option

 

[Nevasleep]

Still waiting for Asda to dispatch my copy....

And it seems the copies which have dispatched might be getting delivered by Yodel (the worst delivery company in history).....le sigh!

 

[Derrick01]

One I learned the nuances of driving in IV I could go from one side of the map to the other at top speed without so much as clipping another vehicle. And it was always thrilling. Lots of people who got good at driving in IV will agree. Only people who suck or never took the time to learn them still complain.

So no, no energy is needed on the eve of V to defend IV's driving anymore. The only legit criticism against them was that you had to learn.

You can make that excuse about every bad mechanic in any game.

Argh I need it yesterday.

No. You just take the ordered one back to your local store. As long as they are the exact same versions there will be no problem.

 

[BobTheFork]

Ok,ve decided to go to the store way too early for the midnight launch. I'm going to sitting around waiting no matter what I do. The goal is to get home as soon as possible after midnight and I want to be near the front of the line.

 

[Killah]

Ugh, I hate having 8AM classes. And I have a test tomorrow

Really want to pick this up at midnight.

 

[nowai]

I have an original fat 60gb ps3.....

Why do people keep saying that this game will kill their ps3s??? To be honest i don't have a lot of mileage on the system...but fans do get loud...and I haven't turned it on in at least 6 months... Should I be worried that this game will kill it???

You didn't play TLoU?!

there is a renegade choice thats easier

 

[GuitarGuruu]

So who's all going digital?

 

[Slyonic]

So, I downloaded the preload from PSN. Is it supposed to fail the install?

 

[Rebel Leader]

 

[ViewtifulJC]

"Once I got used to the awfulness it didn't feel as awful anymore"

I think there's a Superman 64 review like that

either way, unless the controls are outright BROKEN, things like this are always gonna be personal preference. Luckily, V seems to have found a happy medium so there won't be years of "Just how bad was GTAV's driving lulz" in the inevitable backlash threads and "LTTP: GTAV - That's it!?!?/When does this get good again?"

 

[Painkiller Q8]

huh is this you?

Yeah why?

 

[LNBL]

2 hours left until midnight, aw yeah

 

[Big_Al]

So, I downloaded the preload from PSN. Is it supposed to fail the install?

No but some people have had trouble with their install meaning they've had to redownload it again.

 

[Hoo-doo]

No. You just take the ordered one back to your local store. As long as they are the exact same versions there will be no problem.

Goddamn. You are brilliant, why didn't I think of this!

 

[Evolved1]

Just playing some RDR (been forever) until the GTAV DL goes live... and man this game is way more clunky than I remember.

I hope for GTAV that R* has finally discovered there are such things as analog sticks, and their amazing ability to control more than one movement speed without additional button presses.

I can't remember if MP3 fixed this or not... but movement is just super clunky in RDR.

 

[SJRB]

2 hours left until midnight, aw yeah

2 fucking hours! I'm nervous, haha.

 

[Slyonic]

No but some people have had trouble with their install meaning they've had to redownload it again.

I downloaded it for the second time, still failing? It really isn't supposed to happen?

 

[Derrick01]

Decisions, decisions.

I thought about going to the midnight launch but the gamestop near me is expecting 300 people to show and if you don't go get your receipt finalized or whatever they called it then you don't get to stand in the express line. I guess it's like Disney World, although if 100 people get their receipt finalized you still have to fucking wait in a long line.

So I said screw it I'll just get it tomorrow morning.

 

[RoadHazard]

If you have a Slim (not good for the Phat). You can do a fan test. It's sorta like a self clean. All you have to do is pull out the power cord, hold down the eject button, plug the power cord back in.

I have a Phat, and I believe I did do that once. But yeah, I know it's not recommended.

 

[cleveridea]

So this pay at 10pm then pickup at midnight at gamestop.

does it literally have to be then, or can I just wonder in after work at 6pm and pay if off? sounds crazy if not

 

[LNBL]

2 fucking hours! I'm nervous, haha.

Have to cycle for 25 minutes to get to the store first, but it's worth it.

 

[Jomtos]

I know that feeling D:

You could always buy the game from a store, and return the copy you got shipped to you to that store. Granted, I'm not sure if it's legal to do so.

 

[Alienous]

This is amazing.

 

[J Jizzle]

Awesome! My Neogaf account gets approved just in time to join the last few hours of the GTA V hype party! Preload is finally done on PSN (after downloading for the third time due to corrupted data) and I have a coffee with plenty of snacks by my side. Let's do this!

 

[DogMeat77]

You can pay it off whenever, but normally the 10pm thing is about marking receipts so that when midnight hits they can hustle everyone through.

 

[j-wood]

That really sucks man. This is the one reason why I don't pre-order games from amazon. Russian roulette.

 

[Loudninja]

2 fucking hours! I'm nervous, haha.

Damn like 9 hours until midnight for me haha.

 

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

You better get some sort of consolation for that. You paid for release date delivery. Getting shafted isn't part of the process.

 

[Coffee Dog]

2 fucking hours! I'm nervous, haha.

D:

10!!

 

[Bunta]

Damn like 9 hours until midnight for me haha.

At least 24 hours left for me to get the game.

 

[SJRB]

Have to cycle for 25 minutes to get to the store first, but it's worth it.

Same! And it's storming so it'll be a blast [not]. I hope it isn't TOO crowded though, I don't want to stand in line in the pouring rain for two fucking hours in the middle of the night.

 

[boredofcanada]

.

 

[Big_Al]

I downloaded it for the second time, still failing? It really isn't supposed to happen?

Nope, what error message do you get exactly ? I just downloaded, installed, it said 'install complete' and now it's on my game menu with me waiting for 'unlock' time.

Only things I can think of are to either redownload and/or check that you have at least another 20gigs or so free for the installation.

 

[JustProgress]

Check your actual UPS. Amazon did this to me once, turns out UPS has a "early delivery" for it that doesn't show up through your Amazon orders page

 

[Hoo-doo]

At least i'm lucky to live right in the city center, my local gamestore is like a two minute bike ride away.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Why would you preorder at gamestop? I'm going to a walmart, personally. They always have small launches that are get-in-get-out.

I am so sorry.

 

[Loudninja]

At least 24 hours left for me to get the game.

Yeah I wont get it until like tomorrow afternoon so a long ways to go.

 

[Darkman M]

That really sucks man. This is the one reason why I don't pre-order games from amazon. Russian roulette.

Amazon has always delivered my games on release day, not a day early or a day late. Amazon is the only place I buy games.

 

[chickdigger802]

hows pistols in this? I recall using them mostly in gta4 because i foudn the assault rifles to be too OP lol.


the deagle had a good umph.

 

[Slyonic]

Trying to install again. Recommended actions say the data may be corrupt.. Two times in a row?! Definitely have enough space, btw

 

[Raven77]

I'm very confused by anyone in the U.S. that orders high profile hotly anticipated titles from online retailers...

Every single OT for a game like this is the same story over and over of tons of people not getting it day one.

Do some of you not have Wal Marts near you? Is it the transportation (no car, etc.)? Are you getting a discount from Amazon???


I'm not trying to be an ass or anything, I'm genuinely curious.
