GTA V NG |OT| You forget a thousand things every day, make sure Chicago is one of 'em
- Thread starter TheAbsolution
- Start date
The first 10 hours of the game are some of the best of any I've ever played.
GTA 3 was my previous favorite game in the series, for sentimental/nostalgia reasons, but V topped it.
So I already have my copy of the game. I just checked the mail after a long day, and lo and behold, it arrived from Best Buy!
Calgary, Canada here. I'm installing it right now and downloading the update file.
EDIT: Oh and I've never played the game so I'm going in without knowing anything.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
My question would be, why would someone order a code from Amazon. When they can just start pre-loading on Xbox One and PS4 right away lol

is the quick grenade throw only in the ps4 version?
Always set your spawn point at your apartment and watch your radar constantly. Paranoia is the way to go with GTAO. Player does a slow drive by? Empty a clip into his car. Who cares if he might have been admiring your character or vehicle. Exit the mod shop at full speed with guns ready too.
Played a mission with some nice randoms? As soon as the mission is done and you're back in free roam bug the fuck out and deposit your cash with your cellphone as soon as possible. Don't even think of getting friendly post game.
Oh, and set your car to friends + crew only. Or maybe just yourself depending on your friends.

Does Target sell this digitally? I didn't want it in disc form but that $30 trade in at target for the PS3 version is too good to pass up.

That will most likely be added when the store updates later today.

He has Amazon credit. I'll usually buy psn cards from Amazon (or game codes if they are on sale) over buying directly from PSN because I get 3x rewards on my credit card. Aside from all that, I get errors half the time when trying to buy from the psn store using my card.
Amen to all of this. Paranoia is your friend, sound advice!
Out here at this midnight launch, freeeeeezing!

Not only is this good advice but a perfect summery of GTAO
Not related to GTA V, but you reminded me regarding trophy popups
Since Sony decided to introduce so you can view the trophy you got when the trophy pops up during your game and you can press the PS button, as anyone had issues where it doesn't load into the trophy screen, but you just get the music?

This is why GTA:O is so much fun. Trust no one.

Yeah. I sometimes make alliance with randoms but we eventually turn on each other.

I am not confirming this, but when I preordered mine at Best Buy, the lady told me specifically that they could pull it up by my phone number if I lost the receipt.
They put in your rewards information so they have your name on the item ready to go. Everything I every preorder at Best Buy has my name on it when I pick it up.

How it should always be. Unless they are good friends or crew members (never really got into having a crew for GTA).
Speaking of crews, will Gaf have a next gen crew?

Gotta say, we aren't helping the "gamer" stereotype by discussing having to go outdoors into the cold, cold world to pick up the game. lol.
Exactly, it's pure chaos and I love it.
Nothing better than cold revenge and sniping a bunch of shit heads 10 minutes after they fucked with you and then camping out in my apartment while they ring the buzzer at my front door.
Oh, and using the quick menu to mark a player (err target) is very handy for keeping tabs on someone. Makes them blink on your radar.
btw, psn id is same as my gaf name if anyone needs co-conspirators for GTAO

this would be ok but DO YOU LOSE YOUR STUFF?
coming out of the MOD SHOP someone blows up your new ride do you lose the car and mods?
can people invade your apartment?
how many ways can you lose your car collection?

Me and some 2 buddies were playing GTA Online when it came out on PS3. We had tons of online cash, so we went would put huge bounties on like 2 or 3 people, then just watch the carnage unfold.
You would hear people saying "Who put the bounty on me, who put the bounty on me!" One time, 2 guys that had big bounties holed up in a parking garage and it was like a mini game in itself. Trying to get up to the second to the top level to kill them. People were flying towards them in Copters, cars, trucks, everything. Shooting Rockets from the top of buildings towards them. It was so much fun to just fly around and watch.

One of those Wahlburgers opened up here in Toronto, line up was huge.
For a burger. I don't even think Mark or Donnie were there...

It's one thing to commit to a midnight release when you have work or school the next morning, but freezing temps are a deal breaker when you're on the fence.

My point being people complaining about cold weather.

I love when people think I'm being friendly with them and then I bean them on the back of the head with the police baton. I only wish you didn't get in trouble for blowing up player's cars so I could be an even bigger menace

Watching everyone dart in different directions after a mission is hilarious. Everyone is paranoid!

Ugh, still only at 20.27 GB - looks like I have to wait until tomorrow evening after work to play. The game will still download in Rest mode, right?
Same, except I'm at 22GB. Shame, because I started it almost 4 hours ago and I know my internet is fast enough that it should be done by now. Oh well.
Some ass can blow up your custom ride but just double check your vehicles are insured (standard vehicles you get off the street aren't insured unless you take one, mod it and buy the insurance). Whoever blows up your car has to pay the fees. If someone blows up a personal vehicle often enough they get thrown into timeout with other naughty players (don't know if the rules on that changed as I don't play that way but that's the way it was for the longest time).
Nope, no one gets into your apartment unless you let them. You can force eject people from your car as well if you change your mind.
Can't really lose your car collection. In the early days of GTAO it was messy but they've worked out most of the major flaws.
Oh god, I forgot about bounties! Or muggings!
Best way to take car of an asshole in a tank was to pay to have him mugged and then snipe his ass as the mugger pulled him out!
I can't wait to break into the airport and steal jets again. Already have a little bird bought and available. So fun to have a gunner and just fly over the city and pick off targets.
Same. The loading times and general... last-gen-ness of it all kinda turned me off.
