Re: Grand Theft Auto V

Lol @ IGN giving this a 10. I remember when they gave GTAIV a 10; and subsequently lowered that rating randomly afterward.

I sincerely hope nobody is expecting something more than a very large, very polished GTA game.

In all seriousness... I see all these reviews saying "landmark game" "historic moment in gaming" and it makes me wonder.

Don't get me wrong. GTA V is a fantastic game. Absolutely well done, but it's still a Grand Theft Auto game. There's nothing earthshattering about it to me. Some of the new things are cool (the switching mechanism between the 3 characters, the scope of the map) but nothing makes me feel like... "WOW this is going to change something about gamings future" like GTA III did.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

I'd be fine with a very very good GTAV story mode.

I bet the online is going to be that landmark moment, though.

It's probably more of a "this is the perfect game to end this era of consoles" kind of a feeling IMO. I think the next evolutionary step will be Rockstar's first GTA on the next gen consoles. I can see it using a lot of the gameplay elements of LA Noire, Heavy Rain and The Last of Us and trying to fit in into an open world environment.

You'll love it then.

Online may prove to be something a bit more revolutionary but obviously I cannot say anything about it because nobody has any idea yet for a couple weeks.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

If anyone is interested, there are some people playing the game right now on Twitch. Won't be getting it at midnight so tomorrow is far away lol. At least I can watch someone play it for now.

But like you said, nothing makes you feel like that. I saw people saying they were a bit disappointed in The Last of Us and that was one of the best games I have ever played.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

I don't think I'll have the free time to get into the game until this coming weekend, so I'll likely be holding off until Friday.

Which means I'll probably finally check out of reading this thread.. Someone is going to **** up and spoil something and It's best that I just stay away.

I'll have to stop myself from clicking on the thread out of habit.

Oh, don't get me wrong... GTA V is one of the best games I've ever played. I just think the long wait between IV and this has made people giddy and expecting something... more than a GTA game.

I'll fully admit maybe I'm just missing something, but I don't feel like "OMG THIS IS VIDEO GAME NIRVANA" when I play it. It's just another fantastic game in what has been a superb series.

I'll be very curious to see what everyone thinks of the game after they've had their time to dig into it.

I don't mean to come off as someone saying "oh this game is such a disappointment" because that isn't the case at all. It's just that it's a Grand Theft Auto game. It has it's formula pretty much down at this point in time, that much is clear. It's just the best GTA ever released, in terms of gameplay. Nothing more, nothing less.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

I bowed out of this thread a while back, but I have to ask something regarding pre-orders.

I pre-ordered GTA V last December, and have no clue where that receipt is anymore. Will Best Buy still be okay with not only admitting me into the store, but handling my pre-order without issue if I can bring up the date of purchase or the card I used to make the pre-order?

Otherwise, I have some digging to do..

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

I want to call in sick tomorrow so bad. I just don't think my guilty conscience will allow it. Is there any getting around this?

Isn't the preorder listed on your Reward Zone list online?

But who is saying otherwise? Im so confused as to where this is coming from. Who was expecting a revolutionary game?
