Funny thing. I know that I debated on whether I should pick up the 360 or PS3 version but both of them are old fat models. I am worried that my PS3 might die, but so can my 360. I never realized that until now. PS3 it is.

 

[luxuria]

I've just had a horrible thought: what if this game isn't brilliant?

I don't think they can do worse than GTA 4.

We're safe.

I've just had a horrible thought: what if this game isn't brilliant?

my only fear is it turning out like skyrim; at first its incredibly fun for hours but after the main missions it just ends up becoming stale. gta online looks like it will alleviate this skyrim syndrome though

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I've just had a horrible thought: what if this game isn't brilliant?

An overhyped GTA game? I laugh at the thought of such a thing possibly happening in our lifetime

Plot Twist: It was started by Dennis.

Holy shit, just imagine!

lmfao

 

[Sullen]

So...how fucked am I if I expect to be able to pick this up at midnight or during the day on Tuesday if I haven't preordered?


Proper fucked?

If you live in the US you're fine. I honestly don't understand why people go through the nonsense of pre ordering a game. You can walk into any Walmart or Best Buy on release day and pick it up. I was cracking up the other day cause someone on here was worried he wouldn't be able to get a copy on release day in NYC, what a joke.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Holy shit, just imagine!

I've just had a horrible thought: what if this game isn't brilliant?

Unless the game is running at 5 fps, not sure how it can't be as good as GTA IV (Crazy people that hate that game be damned).

Large, Rockstar-style world
Max Payne 3 shooting style (over the old, archaic style of GTA IV)

Those 2 alone should be enough for it to be a worthwhile game, never mind the added "multiple characters" ability and tons of side events (Golf, Tennis, etc). Now, those might not "play as well" as standalone Golf/Tennis/etc games, but they are additional things to do (or not do)

 

[Painkiller Q8]

Just came back from there, no gtav yet
coming Sep 14th tho

my metacritic: 94%

my platform: i will play where it plays better. bonus ps3 is i dont have to delete anything, while my 120gb 360 is filled to the butthole.

 

[wanders]

Ugh it seems that there's nothing new regarding GTAO in the IGN article dispite calling the information new

Oh well only a few days left

 

[EdibleExplosives]

I really hope GTAV has better cheats than GTAIV.

My impossible dream cheat in GTA V: They take the zombie AI/animations from RDR: Undead Nightmare and make a cheat that turns everything dark and rainy and make all the pedestrians zombies that come after you. It'll never happen though haha

I know cheats are almost non-existent now in games but I really hope there are more than the basic shit we got in GTA IV. That zombie idea sounds brilliant, but I doubt we'll get anything more than the usual boring unlimited health/ammo/armour shit.

 

[JaxJag]

Does anyone have a list of preorder bonuses? Want to buy the 360 version, but dunno where would be the best place to preorder.

 

[Liquidsnake]

The ninjas are everywhere.

I talked to my guy yesterday who works at a small place notorious for selling every game early, and he told me there is almost no way well see it hit the street before Monday Midnight..

 

[Mayyhem]

Awhhhhhhhh man I'm so excited. I'm getting the game this Friday!

My friend just told me hes picking it up from this mom & pop shop that sells big games the Friday before release.

The best part about it is, he said he's going to pick up two copies and give one to me as a birthday Gift, since I am celebrating my birthday this Friday.

That's pretty awesome. I'm actually going to start looking around at shops this weekend to see. The problem is that there isn't any mom & pops shops around here. My birthday is ON the 17th so I guess the release is about as good a present as I can get.

If they're notorious for this... um... good luck.

 

[SuperSah]

Can you imagine on Monday if R* said "We're delaying until GTAOnline to give you all what you deserve!"?

I'd cry.

 

[Tek]

Damn :/

I really want to have it on Monday but i know that Gamestop wont give it to me.
UGH!

They would if you used a gun....think about it

 

[Painkiller Q8]

This made me laugh.

I love you.

hahaha, those were my reactions and that guy was like trolling on me while saying on 17th.

 

[Bricky]

I've just had a horrible thought: what if this game isn't brilliant?

Hmm, you might be right!

Allright, pack it up folks. Get this hype train of the rails and make sure to prepare it for when next-gen arrives. Anybody else excited play Knack?

 

[Wind's Howling]

That was not a smart thing to say with heavy moderation in this thread.

 

[chancellor]

Does anyone have a list of preorder bonuses? Want to buy the 360 version, but dunno where would be the best place to preorder.

I'm pretty sure it's the same bonus (a blimp and something else that I cannot remember) everywhere you go.

 

[SJRB]

Can you imagine on Monday if R* said "We're delaying until GTAOnline to give you all what you deserve!"?

I'd cry.

Can you imagine if WWIII broke out and there would be nuclear holocaust and there was no electricity on monday and Rockstar said "we're delaying because nuclear bomb fell on our warehouse so all copies are destroyed".

Lik dis if u cry evertim.

 

[Forsete]

If you are in US-never.
If you are in EU-13th

As a european, great. Why not USA though?

 

[Mayyhem]

If they're notorious for this... um... good luck.

They are, he picked up all the CoD's prior to launch like this, and some other games. My friend's friend's Father owns the place, I believe that is why.

 

[Raptomex]

Anyone else been playing a lot of Payday 2? Getting ready for the ultimate heist game.

 

[BFIB]

I really am glad I bought Diablo 3 on PS3 to tide me over. My hype is at max, but since Diablo 3 is so addicting to play, its definitely helped. For those in need of a good time waster, this is your game.

My birthday is Friday too, what about me?

They better have a spawn bear/cougar cheat code OR SO HELP ME GOD

Haven't even peeked at the map. I'm trying to stay strong... Argh.

We might just have to bait a bear into downtown LA instead. That'll be fun too.

I hope we don't have to wait until Friday's IGN review for some actual game play clips. C'mon, Rockstar.

Is a review 100% confirmed for Friday?

I think more reviewers will try to lower there scores to not get pulled into the GTA IV level hype.
