damn. I hope my Gamestop has a copy today.

OnTheWarpath15 09-17-2013 07:16 AM
Good call on Wal-Mart.

Had 4 copies left, no one was in the store, in and out in less than 5 minutes.

ragedogg69 09-17-2013 08:15 AM
The graphics seem way improved over IV. Or maybe it is just more colorful. I loved the beginning. Also running it from my ps3 HDD and not getting any of the pop ups as seen here: http://www.polygon.com/2013/9/16/473...mparison-video

On reddit they said the same can happen on a ps3, but i have a 1 TB 5400 drive in my, so that maybe why I dont have a problem.

DMAC 09-17-2013 08:21 AM
It's really hard being at work knowing there is a copy waiting for me to pick up at Best Buy.

heh that's exactly what I did last night. I taught my nephew that trick last night.

Kraus 09-17-2013 10:27 AM
I should have my copy in a day or so. Got it from newegg for $48.

Minor nitpick, they're still using A for the goddamn sprint. SOME OF US LIKE TO TURN OUR CAMERA WHILE WE RUN FOR OUR LIVES, R*!!

Heh.

That aside, the hour and a half I spent with it was loaded with awesome. Driving is phenomenally better than 4, and the cover and gunplay system is right on point. Gunfights are a helluva lot of fun, and that's really a GTA first for me. Seems like you can finally use weapons besides an SMG while in a car as well, as I fired a regular pistol out my window at someone who wasn't moving along fast enough. They got the message.

Streamlined the radio stations into a weapon wheel like menu, so that you can flip to your favorite station, or if youre like me, turn it off, instantly.

Minimap is great, allows you to see a lot of area around your location and GPS guide gives you a line to your destination.

If you get messed up, your character reflects that with visible injuries and bloody clothes that persist until you return home and save the game at the bed. I took a bit of a tumble off of my BMX on the halfpipe and looked like roadkill.

Quick Save option available through the cell phone when not in a mission. Thank You Jesus.

The ability to replay missions becomes unlocked at the end of each mission, so that's cool. With as many ways as there are to approach these, this ups the replay value instantly.

That's about all I have for now. I didn't play very long. Did a few missions and laughed out loud several times at the dialogue, so really looking forward to more of that. The big installation time, and downloading my ability to fly the blimp really ate into my play time this evening. Calling it a night, and playing some more tomorrow.

Everything points toward this being a ****ing masterpiece.
Agree on all points. This is a masterpiece. Now get to workin on Red Dead 2, Rockstar!

R8ers would never be in debt to a cartel, that's for sure

Bump 09-17-2013 11:30 AM
only 30 minutes in, this game is BAD TO THE BONE!!!


loving it so far, the graphics seems to be a lot better too. The driving is way easier, some people might look at that as a negative. I love the Max Payne style shooting and 3rd person view. The opening mission was like heat in the country! I'm gonna no life this shit.

Dayze 09-17-2013 11:34 AM
do you have to start out with missions? Or can you go straight into hoodlum mode and screw around?

No, the preorder bonus was to allow you to fly that big ass Atomic Blimp. That's the only aircraft that needed downloading. You can call for it on your phone and it will get dropped off at the closest place to you that can accommodate its size.


As for your other question, there are a few missions that need to be undertaken at the outset, as sort of a "get to know how GTA V is gonna work" kinda deal. Once you get out of that and back to your house, you can do whatever.

Seems like the good stuff doesn't unlock without progressing the story though, so its a good idea to get cracking on that so you can buy the badass guns and unlock the parachute.

Weapon upgrades are pretty slick. Im digging that quite a bit.

Dayze 09-17-2013 12:06 PM
god damn I can't wait.

I'm sure at some point someone will publish which missions unlock what etc.

kysirsoze 09-17-2013 12:08 PM
Mine is "guaranteed" to be delivered by Amazon today. I am still nervously awaiting it's arrival.

hah, my non-preordered Walmart copy had the Atomic blimp code in it.

Dayze 09-17-2013 12:16 PM
man...I wonder what the chances are of a Gamestop having a copy available today. I knew I should've pre-ordered.

lcarus 09-17-2013 12:27 PM
The radio stations seem to have a small number of songs per station. Not that I really care about that. Just pointing it out.

You guys are killing me with game updates! My game is waiting for me at gamestop (I had trade money) as soon as I get out of here. 4.5 more hours to go!

Games never sell out. Hardware does.

L.A. Chieffan 09-17-2013 01:16 PM
I walked into my local gamestop and they had a line wrapped around the store to get the game.

In the same shopping center is a Wal-Mart, I walked in there and picked up the game and walked out in five minutes. Also there is a code for the blimp in the box.

come to think of it, I've always noticed that. each time a huge release comes out, I never pre-order but I'm still able to get it the day of.

I'm going to swing by home, then to Gamestop; if I get it, I'm then hitting up Chipotle for an order of tacos and a burrito bowl. then getting beer.

L.A. Chieffan 09-17-2013 01:17 PM
Almost 8 1/2 gigs to install. Damn

Also what is a good excuse to call in to work and school the rest of the week?

I bet you can download it from the PSN store.

ragedogg69 09-17-2013 01:53 PM
I cannot remember if this was in IV but there are police chases not involving you. If you follow them, some pretty bad ass scripted events happen. I saw one cop car get destroyed by a train and launch into traffic, blowing them up. Made me go "whoa"

kysirsoze 09-17-2013 01:54 PM
Living in Los Angeles, I can already tell by the map that I'll have a blast driving around seeing all their parodies of famous places. This install feels like it's taking forever....

There's a lot more action going on in the city now, definitely. The random events and car chases (now YOU can be the asshole taking pics on your phone) seem like a great step forward from Red Dead's starting point.

I haven't been to a Gamestop today, but my travels have taken me to both a Best Buy and a Target, and they had copies 'o plenty available. That might change after the high schools let out, though.

I don't think I will have time to play it tonight. I let my nephew (17 yo) that's living with us now play for awhile last night. With Sons of Anarchy tonight, going to the gym, and picking up nephew from work, it looks like I'll be waiting another day. From what I saw last night it looked bad ass.

And I still have to finish Splinter Cell Blacklist.

Buck 09-17-2013 04:18 PM
I get off at 4:15ish, gonna race home, install data, go to the gym, and hopefully I'll play around 6 pm.

It will be on next gen. Pretty sure I read that somewhere several times. PC in a few months as well.

Last GTA game I played was San Andres (on PS2), so it's taking me a little time to get used to the controls on the Xbox. So far so good though.

They had a ton of them at the Wal Mart I went to, but I was told they had been selling a bunch and that was early.

This is why I hate console. 2 thumb controllers is just muddy and innacurate for aiming.

I got used to it last night after some sensitivity tweaking but still, not getting headshots, and really just allowing the autoaim to do its thing.

GTA IV on PC? I headshot every mother****er who looked at me.


Other than that, I am greatly impressed with the driving mechanics, Anyone took a banshee on a 160MPH ride through traffic yet? Thing handles like a race car.

I brought my $50 Gamestop gift card with me today so I can pick it up on the way home.
Can't wait. Sounds like there is a huge installation time though? ?
Is it something so long that I should start it, then carry on about my business around the house for a while?

Yeah, I got to that mission yesterday and beyond it - and I didn't play anywhere near 11 hours.

I'm guessing they took time to play all the Freaks/Strangers games, as well as some golf/tennis and just cruising around.

This. My roommate bought it yesterday and I was pretty uncertain about it. Then I saw how improved the driving appeared to be from 4 and it caught my interest. Reading this thread has me itching to get home, but I have to study for a psychology exam :cuss:

TinyEvel 09-18-2013 09:15 AM
The writing and the radio stations in this game make it worth the money alone. I think a lot of young white kids are gonna be calling each other the N word even more than they already do, though.

I've only played it about two hours but I can see me pulling a few all-nighters with this one for sure.
