[Spring-Loaded]

I've been to one midnight release, the borderlands 2 midnight release at gamestop, I happened to be up and figured why not? It's the one time in my entire life I've been embarrassed to be a gamer. My wife and I went and I've never smelled such a terrible place in my entire life or seen so many ungroomed people. I doubt walmart is worse.

Same for me, except it was for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The entire Gamestop stank. My true video game disillusionment moment.

During the pre-release "tournament," one person had to fight a computer-controlled opponent. Someone asked "What level is the CPU?" Someone answered "It's over 9000!"

No one even laughed; some just clapped. It was completely awful.

game stores across the country having midnight launches

I know this, the tesco is like a 5 minute drive away though!

 

[GazzaScotland]

The bonus of going to a Supermarket for launch is you can grab some munchies if you plan on going straight home and getting stuck into the game.

 

[antitrop]

Man I tried playing The Lost and the Damned after The Ballad of Gay Tony and I could not get into it, let me know how you like it

I'm about to boot up LaD right now. Can't wait.

 

[SuperSah]

I'm going to bed now.

I expect to wake up to trolls, insults and faux-leaks.


Do not dissapoint me, GAF.

My guess is this weekend.

 

[More_Badass]

IMO, I've only played a two true 10/10 games in my short gaming career

Uncharted 2
The Last of Us

For me, a game is a ten when the experience is more than just the sum of its parts. Uncharted 2 was my first PS3 game and it defined my standards for what an action adventure game should be. The Last of Us was the first game to ever get me emotionally invested in the story and characters.

Those are games that resonated with me and the experiences held weight beyond just the visuals or gameplay. When a game does that, it's earned a 10/10. A perfect score shouldn't be reliant on just technical prowness or length.

Next weekend, I'll tell you if GTA V achieves that

This reminds me of the wonderful Groundhog day thread we had in February.

Good luck! Granted it was today that I tried to play it again and I can't really play any game longer than like ten minutes cause my brain is just GTAV GTAV GTAV

[Gorillaz]

If R* and Take Two are viewing this thread, they have to be laughing their asses off...

More like stressing over every little thing possible from launch to online lanch. They probably won't even read this thread until a few weeks after release. They got bigger shit to handle.

I haven't played The Last of US but boy oh boy do I think Uncharted 2 was overrated and nowhere near a 10. It was enjoyable, had great production values, good pacing and ok gameplay. But it was very much a hit it and quit it game and one that I've neither had the desire to ever play again nor are my memories of it all that great. Much like the recent Tomb Raider reboot.

I doubt all of them is on top of that. I'd say some lurking ought to be guaranteed.

Yes this is real.

You did it in the wrong order.
Gay Tony is definitely the better one with a more comical GTA feel.
TLaD is a more serious game and I for one don't empathise / sympathise with the idiot biker crowd. I enjoyed it, only because it's a good game, the characters shit me.

Damn makes me think some of the main characters are going to die or something.

 

[Fjordson]

The best midnight launch oddly enough was for World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade. Everyone there was extremely friendly but i have just had so many shitty experiences.

Haha, same thing here. Been to a local midnight release for the last 3 WoW expansions (Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, and Mists of Pandaria). All three were great. Went with my cousin, little brother and a few friends. They were official Blizzard launches here in San Francisco too. So lots of swag to go around and Blizzard devs on hand to sign copies and whatnot.

Only other midnight releases I can think of that I've been to were GTA: San Andreas and Red Dead Redemption. Not quite as big as the WoW ones, but still fine.

It's Max Payne. You shoot enemies for 10 hours. If you don't like it at minute 1, you won't like it at hour 10.

 

[drhankmccoyphd]

Are we expecting parity with regard to framerate and texture quality for 360 and PS3 this time around? Any idea when a digital foundry comparison will pop up?

 

[Tawpgun]

GOING DARK!

I've been playing Ballad of Gay Tony, and have been having fun tailwhipping around all the corners.

That's exactly what I have been doing. Trying to go in as fresh as possible.

I am genuinely surprised this hasn't leaked yet. Bravo Rockstar.

Hell no. I want my 1 week early gameplay.

 

[TIGER-COOL]

I had a dream about playing GTA V last night. This is getting bad.

 

[smr00]

Hell no. I want my 1 week early gameplay.

Honestly i just want to see some PS3 footage.

I know, i know.. The stuff they have been showing is PS3 but i want to see it really in action from someone playing on their ps3 in their home. I just hope it isn't as shitty as GTA IV was on PS3. Judging by the last 3 games put out by Rockstar, it should be better.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

It's Max Payne. You shoot enemies in between unskippable cutscenes for 10 hours. If you don't like it at minute 1, you won't like it at hour 10.

fixed for MP3

Yeah, I think it gets a lot better. It's not a terribly long game and you've got until Tuesday.

GTA Online:

Almost all activities from the campaign are available in GTA online: "heists, missions, robberies, assaulting gang hideouts, hijacking armored vehicles, races" as well as "tennis, golf and base jumping"

According to Rockstar North president Leslie Benzies threre's over 500 missions. Some can be completed solo, but others are complicated and require a team.

GTA Online takes place after the main story, familiar faces will make appearances

Rockstar uses a "dynamic" system to populate GTA Online, starting with your friends and crew members, then similarly skilled players in the same part of the world.

The game analyses your playing style as you play and surfaces missions that appeal more to your style.

Sounds great!
