Nah, not really. Talking about the game before the release and promoting piracy is.

It says so in the Terms of Service.

I'm not promoting piracy, but the thing is that it's going to be sooooooo tempting !!

Great op and impressive looking game technically..

but..

why is this ok (taken from op) ?

It is only tempting if you are used to pirate games

Allows you to play pirated games

AH.
Then yes that is wrong and it makes you a bad person.

EDIT: Not a bad person but it is wrong.

Your best bet is just to stay quiet about your piracy habits in the future. You tend not to be a very loveable person here if you start bragging about a game you pirated early.

Even if the damn thing does not meet the 360 requirements, it still works. It just takes longer to install games on it instead of the HDD.

Ah okay, I have an 8GB USB stick here for study stuff which I inteded to use for The Walking Dead Episodes last year but the 360 just wouldn't work it. Even after formatting it in the menus on the 360. Some USB stick apparently don't communicate with the 360.

I'm guessing it's from the fact that they used real gangsters as VO's in the game.

Man, Riding through the tunnels with a stolen Stinger (orange, ALWAYS orange) and lightly shooting civilian's cars to get them to run away, and then trying to chase them through the tunnels, while also not crash and avoiding the police....


Stealing the Buggy, or the Hummer, and finding out how many people you could get on a single street's sidewalk.

Trying to get the Dodo to the first city.

Timing your jump right, so the train whacks into you and shoots you past two loading screens, into the piece of map from the intro.

Fuuuck! That intro! just listening to that intro.

I know it's a bad idea to get so hype, but I have no regrets.

Please install that derp thing for YouTube comments because I think I got spoiled, also got spoiled for TLoU. Ah well..


Serious question: has the ending been leaked or not? Is it known?

 

[Tr4nce]

Great OP!

I'm sorry, haven't checked all of the pages in this thread, but I read somewhere yesterday that

Spoiler

in the weapon slot there's a ball you can use to throw with Chop?

. Nice touch, if true. I believe it was mentioned in the Australian IGN podcast yesterday.

[RoKKeR]

That was me with GTA IV. But hey, at least you don't have a roommate that likes to rub it in your face. Or maybe you do, lol.

Nope, lucked out on that one haha.

In retrospect it's probably a good thing. I'm pretty good at time management and self control but, when it comes to R* games...

...it's a different beast, we'll just say.

That tends to happen on some older USB models but I just checked the Sandisk forum via Google and that USB should definitely work on the 360.

Its worth saying the city is pretty freakin' small compared to the complete map.

ITs all countrysides...come on Rockstar. Come on!

It has, from the pre-load, people got hold of the audio files from the ending.

Nobody really knows. But leaked audio is choppy and out of order. And someone on reddit who heard it all sad that is was impossible to know the ending without guessing.
It's almost 100% fake. Everytime when game that big gets released someone always posts fake spoilers. On the other hand, even if it's real-you won't know until you beat the game.

The city is the same size as GTA 4.

 

[_dd_]

-I remember that the scripted chasing missions were already in SA (forgot about it and thought GTA IV "invented" this), I hope they won't be making a return this time as it's not very fun to know you won't catch the target before the game wants you to

The scripted chases were one of my favorite parts of GTAIV. So satisfying when you run the obstacle course, avoiding semi trucks and other traffic. I will agree that not being able to take them out was annoying.

Is it really?

Is the Zaibatsu corporation involved this time around?

 

[ironcreed]

I was just watching one of the official trailers again. The glimpses we get of the aerial view zooming out is a nice tease of the scale.

like ive said in the other thread, Gta4 was all city and no wilderness in it. and people were complaining about that, now theyre trying to add a countryside and people are still complaining? -_-

Better safe then sorry. Do not want an angry gaffer on my doorstep because I gave a wrong answer, since we both live in the same country ;p

 

[Certinty]

Apparently so, but then imagine LC without the bridges and all the islands made into one, seems no where near as big now. Either way I was personally hoping for a bigger city but it's still a decent size so I won't complain.

It probably wouldn't be too difficult to get a fairly accurate estimate on the square mileage of the map based off that image, doing some pixel counting and scale conversions using the average length of say a 4-door sedan as the scale determination at the furthest zoom.

 

[LapinAgile]

Holy shit... That documentary I'm watching just said that most of GTA III was developed by about two dozen people.

My brain just leaped out of my skull.

I didn't realized they used Renderware for their tech on the SD games.So indirectly Criterion helped make 2 of the seminal games of that generation. GTA 3 and Burnout 3... that's awesome.

Had nothing so far. From what I've heard elsewhere they're forced to hold back for a launch day delivery. Shopto have never failed me yet for early deliveries though, so fingers crossed.

 

[djblue89]

Your best bet is just to stay quiet about your piracy habits in the future. You tend not to be a very loveable person here if you start bragging about a game you pirated early.

They should do like EA Sports and have us pay 40$ to play a early release version of the game 4 days before release!

Yep you Sure Can indeed, they confirmed it...

 

[flyinpiranha]

Denied. There's always an asshole out there (yes, even on GAF) that doesn't give a frogs fat ass about ruining everyones good time with a major story spoiler or something. Hell, accounts are made on this forum just to fuck up people's hopes and dreams for upcoming game releases.

Ive seen it happen in the TLOU thread and the Infinite thread. Both of those games were ruined for people on the forum a week or so before release. Trust absolutely no one on here.

Oh I know, I just think it's more reserved here. Other places are worse when it comes to spoilers and the mods/users here are quick to point it out and have it hidden/deleted before I'd see it.

Safest place is off the internet.

Come on. Let's be realistic!

I havent ordered mine yet, I was thinking of ordering online. Would you say Shopto are the best chance of getting an early delivery in the UK, or suggest another?

Oh I see now, it happens so that I study in Amsterdam so if that USB stick won't work...

Amazon have it for £35 with free release day delivery.

If you ask me, you should never use shopto.

Shopto is without doubt the best. Always get games at least a day early, sometimes 2 days, but I think its been forced upon them not to ship gta V until the Monday so you get it for launch.

so to kill time until next week has anyone tried the vice city stories mod? Its a port of the ps2 and psp game.

If GTA ever does another "era" type game, I want the late 50's/early 60's. I know Mafia 2 tackled this pretty well, but I'd like to see R*'s take on it.
