The store was crashing my PS3 upon exiting about 12 hours ago, as well. Not related to GTA, I bet.

 

[Buckethead]

Tried you warn y'all bout dat PSN!

Y'all motherfuckas need Jesus!

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Expected but the tennis minigame is pretty crap.

I was thinking it was going to be good considering they made a full-fledged tennis game that I remember getting good reviews.

 

[smr00]

Downloading GTA V of all games seems like a bad idea. Wonder how many tens of thousands of people are trying to do exactly that as we speak.

Can't stop, won't stop, bad boys for life.

No regrets.

Well, the problem he has with Rockstar games would be the notion that the actions of the character throughout don't really gell well with the game's characterization. I know he had problems with GTA IV and Red Dead. As he said on Twitter, the fact that he killed 800 guys in Red Dead Redemption doesn't sit well with the fact that they are also trying to weave maturity and explore themes and bring realistic characterization to the characters, as well as try to pertain emotional depth.

As GTA V is such a big game in the same vein as Red Dead and previous games in the GTA series, I have the feeling he's skeptical, especially since the game is getting praise for its story line, characters, and writing.

Eh, I never played RDR, so I can't say whether or not he's justified with that. But everyone knows what GTA is, and acting surprised or disappointed by the violence and killing is like going to see a Michael Bay movie and being surprised by the lack of a nuanced plot.

You mean Rockstar Table Tennis?

 

[Darklor01]

Not only is the download button gone, the purchased icon is gone, and the prices is gone from the image for the game too!

[dreamfall]

I just kissed my CE Box. I love you GAF. I'm off to disappear in bliss.

 

[kick51]

the monkey's hand was paralyzed on its way to the button

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Its 9:00. Three hours from release. I plan to go at 11 but I'm worried about the lineup. There's already 15 or so people lined up outside EB (I just drove past there).

 

[sappyday]

Don't forget this people:

 

[jwk94]

It is also not there.

Somehow this doesn't surprise me.

[Mikey Jr.]

Ready to download at 12 my fucking ass.

 

[buhbuh]

[amnesiac]

[Zumblakladla]

[KINGofCRA5H]

I just kissed my CE Box. I love you GAF. I'm off to disappear in bliss.

Godspeed, man

 

[SpookyFries]

Sony right now

Spoiler

I'm never buying something from PSN again. What a fuckin hassle.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

GET YOUR FAT ASS OUTTA BED GRACE CHEN, I WANT WHAT I PAID FOR.

 

[kick51]

i can't believe the day is finally here

the day a video game got its sequel

 

[tomshreds]

It's now midnight and I pre ordered the game on PSN. Is there anything I have to do in order for the download to happen? I checked the game page on the store but the download button is missing. I hope it's not Sony fucking this up again..

Any tips? Thanks!

 

[Lucario]

broken promise number three?

 

[Darklor01]

This happens with MLB: The Show as well. Takes about 25 minutes or so before the game download option shows up..... IF... it's going to show up.

 

[MThanded]

Sounds like SCEA dropped the ball. I was going to go digital initially. Glad I didn't. Sony get your shit together.

 

[leng jai]

They're waaaaay better than 4's.

Well GTA4 must have had the worst gun sounds of all time then.

 

[WhoaIsThatMars]

Don't forget this people:

I swear it didn't say PST before...WELP to sleep I go

 

[Hag]

fucking psn man

 

[Quote]

This is fucking dumb. First I was suckered into getting it on PSN for preload, then we get no preload. So whatever, I'll download it and go to bed and play after work tomorrow, now I can't do that till after 3am.

The worst part is both of those issues are not clearly stated or when they are there is random shit being said on their twitter that completely contradicts them.

 

[Zukuu]

At least not US PSN. Europe with pre-load is perfectly fine imo. All that shit did for me was saving me 8€ - NOT WORTH IT. If only I knew before ._.

 

[SargerusBR]

i'm tempted to get the digital version, but i'm hearing rumors that it has the same problems of installing the "Play" disc of the 360 version. Can anyone confirm that?

 

[smr00]

Don't forget this people:

They corrected it numerous times on the internet that it's 12 EST.

That was a mistake in the store.

Europe always gets treated better when it comes to sony shit. You get better PS+ shit and you get to pre-load? They don't care about us fat 'muricans.

 

[Madness]

So there is a secret message with the collectors edition. Has anyone seen it? I could post it but don't want to risk a ban. Doesn't really say anything story wise and I don't know what it totally means in game.

 

[PHOTOSHOP]

Don't forget this people:

FUCK!!!!!!!

if this is true than it must really suck for the east coast guys

 

[Marty Chinn]

So is Best Buy's midnight launch for preorders only or can walk-ins show up too?

 

[ironcreed]

Meanwhile, at PSN HQ:

 

[sdornan]

Whelp, never going digital again until pre-load is confirmed.

 

[kittens]

I just kissed my CE Box. I love you GAF. I'm off to disappear in bliss.

Don't forget the lotion.

 

[Chance Hale]

The purchase information disappeared right at midnight eastern so they're obviously working on things, we were promised 12 eastern as the correction so it'll be here in a few minutes hopefully.

I thought he was talking about the 36 GB of free space.

 

[dominuece]

Copped mine. Playing this all day tomorrow.

 

[MXRider]

Walk ins. Just got back from mine. Installing now!

 

[nib95]

Can't stop, won't stop, bad boys for life.

No regrets.

Just saying dude, if your download is slow as ass, perhaps even crashes a few times etc, don't be too surprised. Sony is not going to invest countless extra millions to ensure once in a blue moon insane traffic periods such as the download of GTA V run as efficiently or fast as any other time. I mean, they will have obviously taken some action to improve things, much like EviLore does on here during E3, it's still never enough though lol.
