Not yet. I'll probably pick it up Friday and play it over the weekend.
I'd guess that the average age on this forum is well north of GTA V's demo. Looks amazing though.
Getting mine Friday. You get eaten by a shark yet?
I picked it up at Midnight. Im about 10% through the game with about 6 hours played so far. I have to say im very impressed.
I took the same pic with my iphone when I saw that too.
That's the second screenshot I've seen today of dogs humping in GTA V. Is that from a gameplay trailer?
Never got into the franchise, but the hype of this has sold me. Downloading at midnight.
Haven't purchased a game in years, but got this last night.
It's a great game, but honestly just more of the same. Like, sorry, but I don't really get the enjoyment of paying to see digital boobs in the strip club, or the other little things in the game.
Maybe I'm just getting too old...
Soundtrack is fucking ace though, and I found myself aimlessly driving around the map exploring things for close to an hour.
It's impressive, I probably would appreciate a lot more if I was 17.
i know what you mean. for me, i like the little things. I really like hunting for bigfoot, aliens, and serial killers. Although, i still enjoy the story just like red dead.Quote:

I got at game stop and said it was for XBOX, why would they sell a flash drive that isn't for video games?
now I'm on kingston's website and don't see anything about video games
the usb port works on the xbox, or my headphones wouldn't work.
the computer recognizes it, so the flash drive works,
I formatted it fat32, (that was the default anyway)
any suggestions?
pretty sure I'll end up purchasing a different brand flash drive in the morning.
You think that Rockstar has sold 125 million copies of previous GTA games exclusively to middle schoolers?Quote:

Good move from Rockstar though. They will get you for 60 bucks right now and then re lease it and rape you for another 60 when ps4 comes out.
Got it last night at midnight. It's the only game I'm willing to stand outside in the real ghetto to buy the game at that time of night in my city.
One note, the online gameplay isn't ready - so I was all ready to blast some middle schoolers last night but no dice.
I invest in the parent company who makes the game. Let the rape of PS4 buyers begin.
The dog humping scene is funny because the dog wanders away to hump when he was supposed to be helping you sniff out the bad guys.
No way. The new consoles come out in 2 months. There is absolutely no evidence that they will release GTA5 for them.Quote:

I am not a big FPS fan at all, but this trailer got my attention-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SRxs5xYWuo
Battlefield 4 will release for PC, PS3, and XB360 at the end of October, and then for the new consoles at their launches a few weeks later.
Great game, definitely the best GTA game ever.
Might be the best video game ever made.
It took 5 years and about $265 million to make this game.
It is projected to make $1 billion in sales in about one month.
GTA 4 made about $900 million in sales.

First off, If I was Rockstar I would do EVERYTHING in my power to not have any evidence that a PS4 version would be released. If it was announced now they could potential lose 100s of millions from people waiting before purchasing it.
As for evidence here are some articles that make a case for it
http://tech2.in.com/news/gaming/gran...ation-4/892538
http://www.vg247.com/2013/09/16/gta-...e-code-report/
It also would be bad business to release a PC version if you were going to come out with a PS4 version. There would be a lot of people that would buy a PS4 just for a PS4 version of grand theft auto. If you allowed them to buy the PC version they may be less likely to buy a PS4 console and the PS4 version of the game.
That is just a minor point. The more obvious point is that they could make 100s of millions by releasing two versions. They may wait a year (so people dont bitch) to do it but I almost 100 percent sure it happens.
I bet they release the PS4 version first and then a PC version after
That right there is how you sell a video game people.Quote:

Do people really compare box office tickets to video games? seems apples to oranges to me. Not trying to take away from either one either here, although it seems movies are becoming dinosaurs as far as entertainment goes. Sure if you wanna space out for 90 minutes go for it but TV is taking over the game as far as I can tell.
They are both entertainment products. It puts the GTA5 launch into perspective that it's massively larger than anything the movie industry has ever created.Quote:

The same guys that work on movies like the Hobbit go on to work at places like EA as modelers, animators, story editors, etc. Same time commitment exists as well. It takes like 4 years to build out a game like that from the ground up. Then you have to promote it through the same channels that movies are promoted, so same expense there too.Quote:

$150M development budget and $160M advertising budget. They have made that back already and will profit $16-$20 for each further unit sold. They haven't even gotten to the first weekend yet.Quote:

That would be the other thing that games try to have in common with movies is the vertical marketing structure. With movies you have a theatrical release, PPV, on demand, Blu Ray, DVD then Cable and what have you. With games it's PSx, xbox, PC then DLC and MMO where they hit you up monthly (in some cases).

People who dont use PCs for games with high end graphics cards will not notice because they have nothing to compare it to. But there is no comparison between the two. The modern PC with a decent graphics cards destroys the PS3. The video sequences really add to the game and look like what we are used to in high gaming PCs. This is because they dont rely of the game engine/processing power to render on the fly and takes advantage of modern motion capture, sick modelling etc. However, a lot of textures of the characters and environment are bland. One of the most noticeable things is that objects in the distance (cars, houses, people) are not sharp until you get close to them. And even then many just dont have much too them. This is all comes down to the graphics card. To be fair, Rockstar does as much as they possiblly can in terms of milking the hardware for all that it is worth. I really do hope they release this for PS4 or PC as I feel better graphics would make it a lot better experience. This could be the first game that uses the Oculus Rift to its full potential that fully transports you to a massive fully active world. Imagine having a gun controller, a Oculus rift and being in this world. It would be unreal.
