Good man, damn good.

It supposedly has a smaller mission count. If I recall, GTA IV had 100. GTA V is said to have less (SPOILERS)

This ignores mission length, and mission quality. I assume there will be a lot less "chase X until you are allowed to take down X" missions, for instance. The above number of GTA V missions also apparently doesn't include heists, and it's debatable whether it counts the missions leading up to a heist.

I imagine heists missions would be multi-tiered, such as gathering crew, tools, getaway vehicles, explosives (speculation).

Is there a GAF Xbox 360 crew?

Indeed there is! Come join us!

Not saying they're right, but to be fair

you do go to Liberty City in San Andreas,

so it's not totally unbelievable.

The 2 years since the first trailer have gone by quickly.

These last 6 days are going to go by reeeeeeealy slowly.

I haven't played this yet (downloading from Steam as we speak), but this is absolutely incredible.

Oh, it's definitely the best of IV. TBOGT was so incredible. K109- all day!

You are in for a treat- bust out that parachute!

That's the idea. One mission might be gathering masks. The next might be getting weapons. Another might be surveying a bank to see when the money comes in. Another might be entering the building to spot the cameras.

According to Rockstar, it's missions that are small steps towards momentous heists.

 

[MormaPope]

Does GAF have a 360 crew? I've worked in teams before and I think I could bring a lot of skills to the group.

I remember spawning a jetback during that mission to fly around liberty city. The map stopped when you got to the redlight district.

That's still a lot of missions, and if the individual missions have been made more layered the way San Andreas was headed, it could be a more substantial game even if GTAIV has a higher count.

And on topic with the current discussion, Rockstar makes great original music. It's taken much too long for GTA to have a full score. All their other titles have fantastic music.

 

[MormaPope]

The first 20 or so missions in GTA IV were extremely somber, you don't get a handgun officially until the 10th mission mark or so.

I appreciated that. When you eventually got a gun, it was like leveling up.

And it seems like GTA V will be following that. Early missions will probably be lots of domestics squabbles and fisticuffs. I doubt that'll last past 10 missions, though.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Anyone post this yet?

Loading Theme

So groovy! Made me fall in love with Luis/TBoGT before the loading screen was even done!

 

[~Kinggi~]

You guys have to keep in mind what GTA V missions just might be like. They apparently have like 20 hours of original score which didnt even exist in IV to accommodate the action. In addition, you have 3 characters that could potentially provide 3 different gameplay perspectives at any one time. The crazy thing is that more of GTA IV in this new world with a bit more refined missions would still be great but im hoping they KICKED IT UP A NOTCH YEAEAHHAE

 

[Ballistik]

Do you have an external hard drive that you wouldn't mind formatting?

A regular HDD? Yeah I do have a spare, didn't know that was an option!

I don't think so.

Grab a PS3 and join the group!

PS3 Slim overheats, couldn't even play TLOU because of it. :/

Yes. You can use a USB flash Drive on the 360 for the 8GB mandatory install.

However, a 120gb HDD for the 360 slim is pretty cheap. $40

disregard posts above mine saying you cant

I have two spare 8GB usb flash drives, but I don't think I would have enough space for that mandatory 8GB install. I have a 64GB one but that's one I carry with me and use.

I hear you man, and at the same time I envy you, there is nothing on the horizon that I am hyped for and it sucks.

Why not count robbing a bank or anything for GTAO a mission? =D

 

[Spazznid]

I kind of wish this song was in the game somewhere. I need more radio stations that make me go from "On to the next Mission!" to "All I wanna do is BANG BANG BANG Cha-CHING"

 

[xxracerxx]

Anyone know if there will be an option to replay missions? Because I would love to pop back into some and play as a different character than I did originally.

 

[MormaPope]

And it seems like GTA V will be following that. Early missions will probably be lots of domestics squabbles and fisticuffs. I doubt that'll last past 10 missions, though.

I think the pacing will vary drastically based on each protagonist. Trevor might be gunning dudes down right from the start, Michael will have to run errands and maybe a therapy session, Franklin will be somewhere in the middle.

I think I'll watch this monday night

 

[Lazloisdavrock]

I have a 64gb USB flash drive, I'm sure that's more than enough right?

Yes. 8GB mandatory install. If you want, you can also install the second disc. (to fully install the game, no disc spinning while you play) that will weigh in at about 16GB




Also, a external USB HDD will not work as a storage unit for the Xbox. Not for games atleast.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

And the Vice City Theme isn't getting enough love. It's short, but so amazingly 80s. The small section at the end that was used as the "mission complete" sound makes me hnnng

 

[DeathGlobe]

I have two spare 8GB usb flash drives, so I think I would run out of space. I have a 64GB one but that's one I carry with me and use.

Or you can do what i did bought the fat model hdd and took it apart and slide that into my slim. I got 150gb few years ago cheap that way

 

[DukeBobby]

I hope so.

GTA IV didn't have the option, which was annoying because I didn't want to replay half the game to reach Three Leaf Clover again.

 

[Alienous]

The aftermath:

It could be as blatant as that.

Speaking of which, if you haven't seen The Town or Heat, you owe it to yourself to do so before GTA V comes out.

Also, if Arab Money doesn't play as elevator music while you are ascending the Mile High Club, I'm going to be pissed.

I'll recommend watching Collateral as well. Say what you will about Cruise, but he was great in it.

Oh snap that's even better. my 60GB hard drive from my original 360 works fine and has all my saves and stuff. Take it apart and buy a case/enclosure?

Heat the game. I am seriously getting rock hard thinking about it.

 

[Lazloisdavrock]

@ Ballistik, i see you edited your post. A 8GB flash drive will not be enough for the mandatory install. after format that flash drive will only hold about 7GB

missions. I thought it was a miscommunication. Either way you should factor in length, the planning, and mission replayability. Also, I think it was said around the time of the first preview the story would be as long as any other GTA game (but I can't confirm it). With my pace that's a little over 20 hours. I'm not worried.

 

[valkillmore]

Now here we have a 'Let's Watch' thread idea. Can we plan to all watch Heat together on the eve of GTA V's release? Who's in? We could even sync the start time.

There is nothing to say about the Cruise missile except that he is amazing. Amazing is the cruise missile

 

[Mask]

Shopto sent me the account charge emails for me and my brothers copies of GTA V. It's happening! Or, atleast it will be in about a week..

Just dropped 15 bones on the limited edition strategy guide too, used that topcashback £5 back deal. I would say I'm spending too much on this
game, but I only went for the standard edition of the game.

Yes take it apart (its easy) you can buy the shell case for the Slim HDD on ebay for less than $3.


You will not have to reformat it.

For me it was the damn motorcycle chase in "Out of Commision". The barrel in front of the jetty always makes me lost my mark!!

You never seen Heat. For shame.

 

[valkillmore]

Its an incredible film. I've probably seen it at least 10 times. Has some classic Pacino bits in it. It's my favourite Mann film.

Before my time! The Town was great though
