GTA V has gone gold.

I just keep scrolling through all the shots on the website- over and over...

We're so close. It's crazy to think how little we still know about the game's switching mechanics, the individual missions, the properties to buy- I'm glad we're kind of in the dark even after the trailers.

There's going to be a lot of bike riding and exploration!
 
every morning now i'm waking up expecting to see "GTA V has leaked"

The problem is that nowadays livestreams get shut down within minutes, as will any gameplay on youtube and the likes.

Back when GTAIV came out it leaked three weeks before launch and people were livestreaming it 24/7 on good old justin.tv.


..and it was amazing.

Rockstar must've not known about that because they were like hawks when it came to shutting down Youtube videos for GTA4. Anyone that has a Youtube channel that they want to keep should avoid posting any gameplay videos of it untilt he release date.

Whoawesome- excellent list!

So much goodness in there- haven't seen Le Cercle Rouge & Rififi , but lovelovelove/re-watched all the rest!

I'm just re-reading a ton of Criminal. May not be utterly relevant to GTA V fast paced heists, but more of a slow, methodical noir burn.
 
Tuesday will be an interesting day since that's when some on GTAForum's have been claiming that their local stores will be receiving them. I still find it hard to believe that Rockstar would ship them out this early. The pre-load date for PSN (September 13th) is probably a good indication of a timeframe when stores will start to receive copies. I'd expect them to start arriving during that week in order to be ready for the launch. There's no real reason for them to ship them out this early.

They still killed those fast. But leaks get around either way. Private youtube videos that get linked around or PMed here usually last the longest.

But I do fondly remember the GTA4 streams, one in particular was just someone messing around in a police chase and seeing euphoria in action was crazy. Sold me on the game during one of his hilarious deaths.
 
Reloading and soaking in every GTAV thread there is here on NeoGAF, so stoked!

Also been playing good old IV on and off for a couple of days; dat feeling when stealing a helicopter and putting on The Journey and flying over the skyscrapers.
 
I can't play anything else, I'm so excited. Settling for messing around on GTA IV but it's not the same ;_;

I just want to see it being played now. Hoping to see something soon.
 
Might pop in 4 again for kicks.

Last time I did, it looked like the screen was smeared in Vaseline. Not only did they render GTA4 at a lower resolution on PS3, they also decided to use Quincunx AA on top of it. ugh

I tried that a few weeks back. It was blurry as hell and the framerate was awful. I lasted 10 minutes and turned it off. I certainly don't remember it being that bad.
 
I'm playing RDR to pass the time and boy do I miss Euphoria. I love the weightiness it adds. Makes the world more believable and thus makes your actions more meaningful.

I tried to enjoy GTA4 yesterday, it was impossible. To slow, sluggish controls, boring city, forgettable radio stations, bad mission design, nothing to see or explore. I need GTA5 now!
 
liberty city sucks, west coast for life!

east cost fo lyfe, at least until September 17.

Was surprised how decent it looked when I popped it back in, but yup about the vaseline though.

Ditto. It's borderline unplayable for me. I didn't have a HD TV back in 2008, so the resolution didn't phase me. And it's only in recent times I've become sensitive to the framerate.
 
Probably one of the few people in the world not picking up this game, not feeling any hype from this. If you want to persuade me, go ahead.


No you're not.

Not even close.

Try harder.

Persuade me to care, go ahead.

Nah, it's cool.

actually your in the mainstream most people in the world wont be buying it

Ego massage fail.

I really need to go buy a PS3 controller but this is most likely the last game i will buy on consoles this gen and really, really don't want to spend $50 on a controller that i will use for week.

Goddamn circle button wants to stick and i know i can fix it if i wasn't afraid that i wouldn't be able to put the controller back together. I know it's something inside that needs to be clean because when i blow into it the button stops doing it for awhile. Having to blow to make it not stick every 20-30 minutes while playing last of us was annoying.

Why would you think anyone is so concerned with your opinion about it that they will want to persuade you to change your mind? How egotistical.

I know, right? The only real response is "Have fun doing whatever else you planned on doing"

Nobody cares.

Criminal as in the comic book? I love Coward. Great bit of noir.
