Bummer. I'll have extra fun for you.

So, anyone know where I can get a parachute yet?
There was a certain plane I was trying to steal but got completely destroyed trying to get to it, the aim being to fly a bad plane and parachute down next to it and be on my way.

Also, anyone know if you can steal a moving train? I managed to jump on the back of one while it was on its way but couldn't seem to get in the actual thing to drive it, I even shot the driver to see if that stopped the train but it just kept on rolling.

Yeah, coming from Padyday 2 and watching streams of GTAV was a big disappointment. Didn't even sound as good as RDR on the streams.

 

[The Albatross]

which console?

also, anyone else having issues with the app and the ORDER for your car not working?

Yeah the app just doesn't work. Logged in like 6 hours ago but now every time I go to login it just goes back to login screen without any errors. But I figured they'll tiune that

 

[Zukuu]

Thirty eight minutes.

6 am then over here. Will stay awake to fire up the download. #dedication

Was just in Tesco and I actually did consider buying the PS3 version...

...it wasn't priced though. I didn't want to get to the counter and be stung with a ridiculous price.

It's cool I can wait.

RDR had exceptionally good auditory feedback for all the weapons. This is just pathetic in comparison and it's baffling.

Stupid thing tha i cant get a refund if they dont let us download in 30mins...

It's really nowhere near that bad. GTA4 on consoles not only ran like shit, but it looked like shit. Aliasing all over and that horrible smeared vaseline brown filter look. I barely played it because I thought it looked like crap (and I hated numerous aspects of the gameplay/characters). This game is so much better on the 360 that it's really not comparable. It looks cleaner. Graphics are honestly gorgeous in some areas. Aliasing is way less noticeable than it was in 4. Framerate is much better. It gives me the exact opposite feeling of 4. I'm very impressed rather than disappointed as I was with 4 on the consoles.

GTA GTony ran and looked way more
Optimized on Ps3

Game manual as a mobile app? Fucking brilliant.

Wow, I hope this becomes the norm. Awesome.

The I fruit app is iOS only this better be cross platform. I have an iPhone but a nexus 7 tablet

 

[superdeluxe]

Apps having issues. Of course I ordered the car with out realizing my first custom car was free

 

[oneils]

Can anyone confirm that the game does indeed look as good as those two gameplay trailers? I know many were saying at the time they couldn't believe that could be on a ps3/360. Does anybody currently playing it get that same sense?

you can go on twitch.tv and have a look right now. My impression is that it won't look quite as good as the trailers. Still looks pretty decent.

 

[speedpop]

The game is great. The ocean looks spectacular and the night time zones are easily the best out there - I'm waiting for it to rain just so I can see how it compares to Sleeping Dogs.

It just feels like there is so much to do.

 

[Ostinatto]

any countdown for the digital version?

[Conscience Falls]

After seeing some pictures of the launch from a friend, I'm unsure whether or not I'll be able to grab a copy at The Source tomorrow.

 

[inky]

How in the hell was RDR "disrespectful to players"?

What does that even mean?

Ludo-narrative buzzword, dissonance, buzzword buzzword, trope.

I do believe Jon Blow is a smart guy tho, so I don't see how he cares that much about what reviews say.

There's one at mine too. Weird.

There's a DJ set-up but music is just being played normally.

Also, there's Diablo III being played.

We're at about 70 people now. And growing quick.

There's also this guy there posting on a video game message board on his phone about the women in line there. that guy's pretty strange.

It is ok to decide to not buy something once scanned. Anyway you wouldn't have been stung, its £38, cheapest price around. You fool!

 

[FStop7]

I would sincerely like to know why Richard Flanagan thinks RDR was disrespectful toward the player.

 

[THEF3AR]

So, after watching the RevGames review and the IGN video review my hype has reached critical mass. Hearing the glorious ravings of those two reviewers when discussing only the singleplayer was enough to shelve any doubt I may have had about performance and IQ, but it was the closing comment in the IGN video that reminded me that this isn't even factoring in the multiplayer yet. All of these amazing things that make it a monument for this generation will only be further deepened and expanded upon when MP hits. I literally started tearing up.

If the heist, which are getting immense praise, are even remotely represented well in the MP, the community aspect of online play will truly set this game apart. If Rockstar is able to grab that core element in what makes MMOs appealing - the teamwork and accomplishments- then, my God, I can't even coherently assess what repercussions that would entail.

Here, here!

ROFL!

On one hand, man, that sucks!!

On the other hand, it's cold out there(at least in the east), nice dedicated girlfiends/wives. Taking their boyfriends out to buy something which will compete with them for their S/O's attention.

 

[Godslay]

^Jonathan Blow. I can't

Must suck to go through life hating everything but the smell of your own shit. Talking about Blow of course. We should feel sorry for him if anything.

 

[Jaykay]

Just got to my GameStop about 10 minutes ago and I'm about 30th in line. People are starting to flood in now, so I guess I picked a good time to show up.

Indeed this is truly awesome.
Has anybody checked it out yet? Is it "just" a PDF or is it interactive to some degree?

People were commenting on pics of other lines that there were no women. That's why I posted that.

"I don't like the games other people enjoy, so I'm upset and must vent to the world."

Damn man... Can we just let people like what they like. If its not your cup of tea, that's fine, but no need to go the "brainwashing" route.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

RDR had exceptionally good auditory feedback for all the weapons. This is just pathetic in comparison and it's baffling.

I don't know what it is with GTA and gun sounds. They've always been absolutely terrible. And as you said, RDR had a lot of punch, bass on the bigger weapons, and good echos so it's sad that they've regressed.

 

[Amagon]

I feel old standing in line. :/
