GTA Forums produces some awesome stuff, the mapping thread or the vehicle list thread is some of the best community created content around videogames today
But that being, as an actual forum / message board / community, it is complete garbage. For every 1 or 2 incredible threads, you have 2,000 of utter dearth. Before Liberty City was revealed in GTA IV or Los Santos in GTA V, every thread was about how GTA # was going to be set in Minneapolis Minnesota or Trenton New Jersey or Luanda the capitol city of Angola, Africa... And then the barely literate op would make an argument for his irrelevant, pointless city and give some absurd evidence for why it will DEFINITELY be the location.
This post would be followed by 100 posts generally saying the same thing, but in their own cities.

Wat?
The reason you've heard it used so much this week is because that's the perfect word for describing that IGN preview... Hyperbolic.
It's also where the word "hype" comes from.

I'm not talking about just this thread.
It's overused in here, way, way overused.
lol, god no.
Now i'm tempted to cancel that post.
Seems that way, they could offer it later on as DLC though, who knows.
And i'm sure a GOTY edition will come with it.

What do you mean? Looks like release day shipping for me?

I'm not even too sure what comes in the special edition. If it's not in-game stuff I usually never bother. The pre-order bonus seemed cool enough, so I got the regular edition.
Yeah I have release day delivery as well, but there is no one day delivery for the game.
There is first class which says it will get it to me by release.

It really is. I've seen that word used more times in individual threads on GAF than I've heard the word used in real life in my entire lifetime.
In fact come to think of it I'm struggling to think of the last time I heard someone in real life use the word at all. Nobody uses it in a real conversation. Yet it's used all the time here. It's definitely overused.

its ingame stuff
That's the digital version preordered on PSN. Thought I'd go digital this time for loading speeds and handiness. I wish they had taken the money for it already though as I hope I don't end up buying Killzone Mercenary in a drunken state (I do want Killzone Mercenary, just want to wait a bit!)

Shit. Gonna go check that out then.
Edit: Not my thing. Some tattoos, a few free guns and some stunt plane mission.
Yep, the only time I got a game late there was a hurricane in my area.
Every day that passes, the excitement just keeps building!
Reading The Guardian interview with Houser was really neat - hearing anything from those brothers always feels so mysterious! I can't wait to just install the game, and settle into the massive world. Nothing but driving with the radio for days!

My first victim: the poor sap that just happens to be on the sidewalk near me when I first get control.

If it's like other games where passengers don't always get out immediately I'm taking someone up to the mountain and driving off the edge.

the whole map is available right off the bat this time right, i think we're gonna have to go skydiving.
first kill has to be special, a bullet or car bumper just wont do.
I've preordered countless games off Amazon and they've never failed to get it to me on release date.
Me too. It's why I only preorder from them.

I've got the 360 and PS3 versions of the Collector's Edition pre ordered, but I probably won't make up my mind as to which version to keep until the midnight launch.
Collectors.

Looks like review copies are being sent out - no pictures available yet, but a friend in the industry should have his by early next week.
Hard to believe it's nearly the middle of September; feels like the game was just announced yesterday.

Just another piece of glorious QUEEN music that would fit perfect in the game:

it is not in the game guy, this is just to show you how awesome this game and rockstar is.

Yeah that's actually one of the 2 concerns I have with the game. I liked the sense of progression from previous GTAs and I think it's stronger game design, forcing control and patience to people when many, myself included, don't have any. I'm going to have to fight myself from exploring the entire world immediately and then 10 hours in to the game I'll have seen everything and tried out most of the features before I even start the missions.
One of the best features of San Andreas was its constant slow drip of new features. At the beginning you learn what food does to you, how to use the gym, how clothing stores/tattoo parlors/barber shops work. Then as you progress through Los Santos' missions you try out car customization, dancing, gang sign tagging, stealth, home invasions, and gang territory takeovers. Then you get to San Fierro and learn about swimming/diving and other things (including not so fun things like the remote controlled plane). Even in the last area when you think you've seen everything you find out about jetpacks, learn to fly and find a fighter jet, plan a casino heist, parachuting, and hovercrafts.
Without any restrictions then what's to stop people from going golfing, racing, playing tennis and seeing everything there is to see and do right away? I hope they have a lot of surprises that are locked away behind missions at first.

Regular, fuck paying double the price for some dumb DLC that will probably be included in PC and next gen versions.
I also have release date delivery for my order.
Yeah, I got release day First Class.
I asked customer service earlier on and they state they intend to ship on Sat. 14th.
I'm hoping the things that will stop you, are the things that will stop you in real life. Getting away from what you are supposed to be doing (missions), figuring out what you want to do and getting the tools to do it.
It's nice to want to parachute off Mount Chilliad, but you're going to need to get a parachute and travel there.
I prefer the game to be unrestricted, as it is a sandbox game, but hopefully the scale of the world and the things you can do have a 'full fridge' effect. You can do everything, but you stick to the main story so that it can be filtered to you.
But who knows?

To be honest, they'll probably sell it on the marketplace eventually much like they did for Max Payne 3.

Not like when review copies goes out dictates when the review embargo is.
I just put in Red Dead Redemption in my PS3 and is playing it for the first time. I'm not too fond of the character movement but atmosphere, acting and targeting is all kinds of great! 
I just hope that character movement is nailed in GTA V - I actually think it's better in Max Payne 3 so that's progress at least.

Double the price? Regular is 70€, special is 80€ here.
EDIT2: No, lol i was right.

I don't want reviews to show up before 16th. It will hype me to the moon.
Wonder if some will get them on the Monday if they're shipping on Saturday. Hmm
