Grand Theft Auto V

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

The more and more i think about it I may not go with the digital download and just head to walmart in the morning and pick it up. I didnt pre order but Im sure there will be alot there. I remember the last GTA game they had dozens of boxes of them when I went there at 10:00am.

If we were have been able to preload it on the PS3 I would have gone that route.

To be completely honest, it probably would have been a mistake to decide not to pre order the game. You might be able to find very few copies around somewhere, but all i'm saying is don't expect to find a lot of copies in big retail stores such as walmart. You probably might find one, but honestly If I were you i'd go earlier than 10am...maybe even 8am to be honest. GTA IV was nowhere near the level GTA V will be in terms of sales.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

Yeah I might go a bit early. Are walmart here isnt 24 hours ( dont know if any in Canada are ) so might go when they open at 8am. I figure If I cant find a copy then I will just go with the digital download tomorrow night.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

If I didn't have class I would've done midnight release.

That could have multiple meanings.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

OK im going to add one of my random event spoilers since some of you will have it tonight.

Spoiler

I wanted to get on the ski lift so i jacked a convertible caddilac and drove into the mountains at night. Eventually I got to a part so steep the car wouldn't and couldn't go up anymore, so I just got out and ran the rest of the way up the mountain.

Mind you once you get so high, you start hearing mountain lions and lynx growls and seeing random deer. I was attacked twice on the way up, once by a lion and once by a lynx, and both times I pulled out my semi automatic and wasted them both... felt great!

Once I get to the top, I find the ski lift and ride it all the way down which takes me to a town area right off the beach. I jack someone's truck until I get a sand dune buggy, take that to the water, then jump in the ocean.... jack a guy and his lady for their boat then drive until it sinks... now I need to get back to shore because its sharks in the water following you.... lol

Anyway, once I get back to the shore, I drive another car down the road that I jacked and a police alert comes up on me. I jump out the car and run through the outside of a factory where workers are standing. How do I get away I say, well let me run to the train tracks behind the factory so I do, but the cops keep coming, so I run higher in the mountain to escape the spotlights.

At this point I hear a train coming so I run back down and hop on the moving train and as more cop cars come up on the radar circle, they can't keep up and eventually give up.. victory haha

Get to the point now where the train starts to change direction from where im going, so I hop off, run to where I see some giant satellite dishes, and there is 3 scientists standing there in lab coats with two guys in black like secret service. I see a fast car and a subburan so I jump in that and start to take off.

One of the dudes in black is like "dont do it" then starts shooting at me, but I take off and drive back to town finally for a change of clothes, but before I go in I get out and hear some guy talking about how high he is, so I punch him to the ground then point the pistol at him for him to take off...lol

Its so many random things you can do on here its not funny.

There will be plenty of copies around for the first few days.

For XBOX owners:

Bah. I'm so used to installing games that I play a lot, it sounds like a helicopter taking off when I actually play a game that isn't installed, haha.

So will the game still be spinning in there? (what I assume makes the noise when I'm playing a game that isn't installed) or will the install disc mean that the game won't be spinning while I play it?

Re: Grand Theft Auto V

Funny how fast my thought process changes on this.

Just drove by a GS near work and swung in and picked up a new DS3 Controller for my PS3 and tried to pre order for my hometown, but they can't do it.

Seems pretty dumb that a Gamestop in Birmingham can't help me pre order for a Gamestop 45 minutes away, but whatever. I'm going to try it online and if not, I'll try to call someone and get them to swing by and pre order for me.

Temptation is a hell of a drug. You also said you were going to stay out of this thread.
