Grand Theft Auto

[yellow-card8]

So what will you guys be doing? Exploring and having fun? Or Story?

I tend to do the story in GTA first. Not only does it help you learn the map better, but it also provides you a stock of cash, weapons and ammunition, as well as opening all areas up.

Getting excited for Online. I've heard to save your money, you've got to go to an ATM. If you're killed with it on you, it becomes a drop. For anyone to collect. I can already tell people will be lurking at ATM's to kill anyone before they store there money. So it's going to be a fun challenge to decide when, where and how to go about it. Be wary CoDz players.

Rockstar has said that if you're the kind of player that kills everyone, destroys cars, pretty much being an asshole person, you'll be put in servers with those kinds of people.

As for me, I'll do the same thing, get money, get my guns, than go down to town, too bad the Online won't be open till Oct. 1st.

[Lenne]

I'll be enjoying the story first.

Hopefully it will be as good as IV's.

Afterwards I will probably play loads of online.

Then at some point I'll buy the guide and get 100%. ^.^

That's at least 250 hours right there. lol

[ThrowAmonkeyBomb]

Just a big reminder to everybody, Online is NOT going to be active during the first days of release, it's going to become active on Oct. 1st, a message for people who aren't aware.

[Flammenwerfer]

Gahh, after reading about all the new things in this game...I've decided I will get it, after all. Sounds pretty damn good and looks gorgeous. Hopefully I can still preorder it for that sweet blimp. :D

[Lenne]

Muahhahahahahaha.

There you go!

But I swear to god, if you or TAMB have this game earlier in your hands than I do, I will... I will... probably just be a bit sad.

Here's me hoping I'll have it tomorrow.

Don't let me down, Amazon!

[Lenne]

tommorow?I havent preordered yet :oops: doesnt it relase tuesday?

Yes, but if I am lucky I'll get it a day early.

Just like BO2.

And I think there is no need to pre order the game at this point. Just go out and buy it the "normal" way.

You should be fine if you pre-order through GameStop or whatever the Canadian equivalent is (which I'm guessing is something along the lines of "Hoser's Game Place, Eh?")

pre order bonus' man!!!

Microsoft Store

The biggest pre-order deal for GTA V remains the Microsoft Store option that comes with $20 worth of Microsoft Points that can be spent on Xbox LIVE. Obviously, this is for the Xbox 360 version of the game but getting your pre-order in by 6PM on Sunday Sept. 15 guarantees free release day shipping. Once the calendar turns over from the Sept. 16 to Sept 17 though, the MS Points offer is gone.

[yellow-card8]

I might not get GTA V now because my brother said that he promised to pay the rest of it and just came out saying that he isn't going to pay for it and going to get shoes.

Regards Yellow-card8

[ThrowAmonkeyBomb]

Look at you Mr."still on the fence about it and I don't like sandbox games"

EDIT: Guess what is installing on my PS3 right now! :3

[PINNAZ]

Lucky you Lenne.

1 hour to go.

I think I'm going to have to go to the midnight launch. I can't wait till tomorrow.

Edit - Goodbye Black Ops II.....

Hello GTA V

[GRILL]

Edit - Goodbye Black Ops II.....

Hello GTA V

ahhhhh I want.

Won't be getting my hands on this delicious morsel until payday (Next Friday).

And then, PINNAZ, we will rob a bank and go hand-gliding.

[Lenne]

Because of a headache I could "only" play for 4 hours today.

Two things I dislike: The HUD and the fact that I am too overwhelmed by this piece of art.

The gameplay is fun in every single way, the world is beautiful, the characters are great. (I haven't gotten to play as Trevor yet though.)

So far I give this game 9 out of 10 brains.

Hopefully it will get even better the more I play it.

By the way: I admire the fact that R* didn't just take GTA 4 and made it better.

There really is a reason why it is called "GTA 5" and not "GTA 4 San Andreas".

But yeah: I seriously dislike the HUD.

[GRILL]

But yeah: I seriously dislike the HUD.

oh no! what specifically is there not to like about the HUD?

[Lenne]

But yeah: I seriously dislike the HUD.

For me personally the reticle is not "visible" enough.

The mini map seems "complicated". (Although it does look cool... just a bit... I don't know... )

And I dislike those weel systems. (Weapon weels etc.)

Probably just something I have to get used to.

Something else I forgot to mention: This game is definitely more difficult than IV.

Which is good.

[if this is in the Multiplayer]

If I spot ANYONE near my house, I'll get Chop to bite you.

You harm Chop and I'll run you off Mount Chilliad.

I've seen the achievements, I'm kinda disappointed that some are the exact same from Red Dead and GTA IV.

GTA V:

Wanted: Alive or Alive

Deliever a bail bond target alive.

Red Dead Redemption:

Clemency Pays

Capture a bounty alive.

GTA V:

San Andreas Sightseer

Explore all of Los Santos and Blaine County.

Red Dead Redemption:

On the Trail of de Vaca

Uncover every location on the map in Single Player

One achievement that has got me interested:

From Beyond The Stars:

Collect and return all spaceship parts.

[PINNAZ]

I know what you mean Lenne. The HUD is a bit wired & basic.

I had the feeling that the GTA IV add-ons were testing for this game. There are a few inclusions such as 'mission completion goals' which are added.

Pretty cool so far. I only played for 2 hours as I had to work @ 7am. (can't wait to get home from work)

I thought I'd just explore & I made it to the top of the mount Chilliad. There is a Gondola that can take you to the top. Once you get off, there is a parachute. so the best thing to do was to jump of the roof of the gondola building.

The camera feature is cool. I was taking "selfies" at the top of the mountain!

I also found this on twitter. These will be fun when you want to create chaos on a 2nd game save.
