Pre-order cancelled thanks to your enlightenment. I just erased the 8 plus hours of gameplay from my mind once I realized that the game actually is crap according to you. Now, back to playing Def Jam Icon.

The cool thing is that Rockstar is able to add anything they want that were only fantasies of many of us during the San Andreas days.

I don't think so. I think they did put in the Coliseum, as I think I saw a screenshot of it somewhere. There may also be a Staples Center as I think I saw something marked on the map as an Arena.

Of course the Coliseum could be the Arena, who knows.

Also, Hollywood Park (Horse racing track/casino) is in the game.

Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 to a V

I'm just hoping the controls are better than GTA4. I played about 30 mins of IV and had to stop because I couldn't driver worth a damn.

I've heard they improved them. Rockstar even admitted the driving was bad in IV

Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 to a V

There is some sort of stadium/arena but the player I watched didn't spend much time around it so I don't really know what it is. Also, of all the hours I watched I never once saw this prison that I have heard about. I did see:

Spoiler:
A gated wooden fortress high up in the mountains. There was a man up in a watchtower and they wouldn't open their tall gate nor did the player I watched try hard enough to get in. This will be one of the first places I go and try to explore. I also watched one of the final missions (there are a few) and one of the endings (the one I would have most likely chosen).

Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 to a V

I watched the San Andreas trailer again today and it brought to the forefront just how much the graphics have improved in the past ten years.

Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 to a V

I read up on past Midnight launches and many have just shown up at 11:45 pay it off or get a sticker saying it's all paid off and wait in line. You might have to wait a little longer but only a few more minutes depending on how long the line is. Not gonna wait two fucking hours in a line.

Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 to a V

Could potentially be a huge discovery in the game.

Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 to a V

Rumors on Gamefaqs and Twitter that GameStop is selling the game early to compete with Amazon. I find it extremely suspicious because anyone who now suddenly wants to take advantage of Amazon shipping early is still looking at a next-day delivery.

I'd call my local Gamestop and ask them buy they don't open for 2 more hours. Anyone with an open local store wanna call and report what they say?

Perfect 10 from IGN.

Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 to a V

I don't trust IGN scores for any big games, the Kotaku review was a good read, seemed like a legit complaint against the storytelling.

Gamespot gave the game a 9 / 10 on the PS3 and cited it being misogynistic, this is obvious it's Grand Theft Auto, so of course the comments are blowing up. This is why I hate the gaming community, I could accept it if they were all 12 years old but I know that isn't the case.
