Jimbob Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Good I've got a PS4 pre-ordered with them I might actually get one on launch day if there have been cancelled pre-orders! It makes me laugh, why are people complaining. First time a game doesn't arrive a day early (when they really ain't meant to) and people go off on a paddy. Good for them, even Shopto are having a laugh about the situation.
martinist Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Well my limited edition guide was dispatched from amazon this morning so they should both turn up tomorrow mostly just gonna use the guide for maps and stuff at first though.
drahkon Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 "What, you don't like shooters?" "Yeah, they're all the same." Quote of the year This game is awesome.
The Bard Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 If you want a reason to end your life, go check out Gamespot's GTA V review and then look at the comments. Oh humanity
Tales Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 I only read the review on my cell but when I saw it had gotten 2500 comments I knew things were bad.
Cube Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 It's hovering near 6000 comments now. It's almost as if they knew giving it a 9/10 would give them a ton of ad revenue, while still being a fair score.
Happenstance Posted September 16, 2013 Author Posted September 16, 2013 Oh don't go down that route, you'll start sounding as bad as the others in the comments.
Happenstance Posted September 16, 2013 Author Posted September 16, 2013 The reason Gamespot's review is getting so many morons commenting is because it was done by their transgendered writer and she mentioned how the game was misogynistic in it.
Sheikah Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 It's almost as if they knew giving it a 9/10 would give them a ton of ad revenue, while still being a fair score. Yeah it does seem that way. Not that I agree or disagree with the score since I have no idea how good it is. But they must know people expect the top score and not giving it a lower score will get more people viewing. Hilarious nonetheless.
The Bard Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 I think the way in which Gamespot's reputation is still a little tarnished from the events of 2007 might push someone to making that conclusion, but in what world is 9/10 not an absolutely outstanding score from a site that doesn't deal in .5 demarcations any more? It was a game review, which means that it was an experience of a piece of entertainment, which in turn means it is subjective. From what you know about the reviewer at hand - that she is transgendered, that gender politics probably inform a great deal of her day to day perspective, it's reasonable to assume that the way she interpreted the game (and the way she interprets all other forms of cultural media) are filtered through this perspective. When you come to this fairly easy understanding of the the reviewer at hand (an understanding that is supported by what she implicitly reveals about herself throughout the review) you can say that either A. I am aligned with this persons perspective and thus I might share similarities in opinion about the game in question, or B. I cannot relate to this person, so what she thinks won't impact my buying decision. Irrespective of either though, what she says about it helps you find out more about what YOU may think about the game by way of contrast, or, equally healthily, may point you in the direction of ways of looking at things that aren't native to you. Which can only be a good thing. I don't understand the outrage. It's like gamers exist only to buoy the monied corporations that produce these pieces of consumer entertainment at the expense of all reason or sense. It makes me sad.
Rowan Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Xbox 360 users shouldn't install disc 2. Otherwise it'll slow the game down. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-09-16-rockstar-warns-dont-install-gta5-xbox-360-play-disc Wonder how the performance of the PSN version will be as it can't stream from a disc at the same time as the hard drive. Glad I went with retail.
drahkon Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Have played 7 hours since I got this game. 7 hours in one day. I feel like I'm 15 again Trevor is a maniac. I love him.
Charlie Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Installing now! 600mb done... Massive queue at Tesco for the game. Didn't get it until about 12:40.
drahkon Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Installing now! 600mb done... You're going to have a lot of fun. I'm going back now. Had to take a break. Don't think I'll get any sleep tonight.
Murr Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Installing now! 600mb done... Massive queue at Tesco for the game. Didn't get it until about 12:40. I arrived at the mall at 11:30pm to this... GAME is on the right hand side miles down the mall, the queue reached the end of the mall, and went back on itself the other side of shops. Mental. I walked out of the mall with my copy of the game at 1:55am. Was home buy 2:15am, and went straight to bed. I was hoping to get a chance to play it last night, but never mind. 9 hours at work and I'll be on it. Question to anyone who bought this on Xbox360. How long was the install?

I don't think it took longer than 10 mins.
Tales Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I don't think it took longer than 10 mins. Can I assume same for PS3? But 10 minutes seem very little for 8GB. I can't say for sure if I get the game today. I think the mail man arrives at 13:30, but by then I must have left to reach the bus to work. I only made the "pre order" yesterday, but I might have a safety net at Gamestop(it's not like he said no way, we don't have enough(he was actually counting the games physically when I talked to him)) but that probably costs me 10£ more and the bother with shipping the other one back. On the other hand, if the mail doesn't arrive today, I don't have to wait another 24 hours, as I arrive back home at 23:00/11pm all days to Thursday.
Charlie Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Can I assume same for PS3? But 10 minutes seem very little for 8GB. That's just a rough estimate but I wasn't waiting for long and I was doing pretty much nothing in the interim. Got in around 12:50 and was playing by just after 1 I think.
drahkon Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Can I assume same for PS3? But 10 minutes seem very little for 8GB. Definitely didn't took longer than 15 minutes. Surprised me, to be honest.
Charlie Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Went to the airport and got into a plane. Is it just me or can you not change direction of the plane when you're on the ground? Was I doing something wrong? Had 3 stars on me and had to try a few different planes before I found one with a lot of space directly in front of it.
