No I agree with you and the guy you quoted. I plan to get there at 11:30 just to get the game and leave. I'm not trying to eat junk and play a demo. . I just want the game.

Why doesn't everyone have uber leet super amazing gaming skillz like we hardcore gamers on GAF?
Anyone know if there is pre-loading on the PS4?

That's a good guide. But fuck it, I need the 337.88 driver but I can't install it because apparantly I need an Intel driver installed first. Fuck knows why considering I installed a nvidia driver in March with no issues and nothing has changed on my PC. Something has changed with nvidia drivers it seems )or it thinks my desktop PC is a laptop). I guess the error is due to my HD4000 onboard gpu not having a driver but I had real fucking trouble trying to get that and my 780 to play nice together so the HD4000 is driverless. But I want the new driver! What to do!?
No preloading on PS4 until Destiny.
Gonna tell you right now this is a bad idea.
I've been to tons of these midnight releases. If you show up at 11:55 prepare to wait a long time (depending on how many people show up).
Trust me, get there at 10 (or better yet 9:30) Get your ticket and leave.
Return at 11:55 and you will have a place at the front.

hella bullets that's true
how big is the map? do we know that yet?
The message you see when you select one of those other cars is:
"You can unlock vehicles by driving them or by hacking civilians. Some special vehicles are also unlocked by completing activities in the Progression screen."
So they must be acquired from either one of those.
I know one of the sports cars is unlocked through story progression as one of the guys I was tailing in multiplayer ended up chasing me with it lol.

Hey, quick question. Does Uplay offer the ability to track hours played? Got the game through Uplay rather than Steam, so can't use Steam's, and so far haven't been able to find the ability with my other Uplay games.
Have there been any screenshots released of the in game map?

Pretty disheartening about GMG. And I am not even in Australia :/
It's mostly in the cut scenes. There's also the chance that the tearing I noticed during his stream was caused by the stream.

And on PSN?
Watch Dogs - The black square.
GTA V - The larger map.
GTA IV - The green map on top of the Watch Dogs map.
XBL should be 3AM EST and 12AM EST for PSN. Give half an hour for whatever delays on their end.

Thank god Watch Dogs doesn't force you to drive for twenty minutes to get somewhere dusty and boring, only to be forced to make a return trip for the same mission. GTA V is an incredible game, but there's quite a bit of the map that was unnecessary and often irritating.

Not me, and when I search for my order using the order number in the receipt from Ubisoft, it says "no orders found".

I remember being super excited about how big the GTA V map is, but man, while it is fun to explore, it gets tedious.
I'll gladly take a smaller map with stuff going on throughout over lots of empty space. Hell, it's bigger than GTA IV so that works for me.
I don't think so, but most Ubi games have stat tracking within the options menus, and time played is among them.

OK, that's good to know at least. Thanks.
I enjoyed those leisurely drives.. and the conversations lol
not yet. I've been trying various VPN's as well and it still hasn't added itself to my games list in uplay.
It seems that you can start downloading the game right now on UK PSN, unfortunately it's not out on US PSN yet.
Pre-loading will be available to ALL PS4 GAMES released after Destiny. So Destiny will be the first game to support pre load.
So I made the mistake of pre-ordering off of gamefly for 20% cheaper than the steam retail price.
Unfortunately, I don't get my key until 10am PST which is 12PM tomorrow for me. I'm pretty pissed off about it. Did anybody else pre-order off of gamefly? Can you cancel a pre-order over there? I'll gladly pay 60 if it means I can at least play it tonight, I just wanted it a little bit cheaper.
I'm so mad at myself at the moment.

Ubisoft is run in EST that might be why
I know this was stated but im not holding out on the 12am est as someone who lives one the east coast
It would mean their rolling out the game individually across each time zone which seems like too much hassle for them or that means that pat gets it 3 hrs early which seems extremely unlikely
So i'm still hedging my bets on 3am est but i'd be happy to be wrong

Seconded. I often try to be one of the first 20 people who get their tickets at 9 or 10, whichever it is. Once 11:50 hits and I show up, the line is too many people to count and so glad I can waltz up near the door and be one of the first groups in.
It takes an additional trip but it's better than waiting however long it does if I just showed up around midnight.
They aren't going by each time zone; Pacific gets it early. It was that way with Wolfenstein and other games IIRC.
That's why I'm setting an alarm for 3 o'clock.

I only real motivation for going is grabbing some free Chipotle coupons. I plan to take as many as I can.

Eff that!
If they run out of coupons or it's a crazy wait I'm leaving and coming back in the morning.
The last midnight thing I did was for Borderlands 2. Showed up at midnight and was out the door with my game by 12:05.
It was a Best Buy though.

I wonder if uplay will actually update at midnight or if we will have to wait until morning like with Blacklist :/
Over here (The Netherlands) you just have to get in line and wait. No tickets. So if you want to be one of the first people to get in and leave early you'll have to arrive around 8/9 pm depending on what game it is. GTA V and every CoD launch are always crazy busy. That ticket system you guys have sounds great. If they did that over here I'd probably go to more midnight launches. Now it's just not worth my time
