Nah, won't affect me too much, I've been playing the GTA series too long. And it'll keep me off the internet.

Yes. Check out the gameplay trailer, they talk about how it has been overhauled and such.

Still, it's "GTA" nonetheless. Keep yourself fresh man. You'll be enjoying it much much more!
Find something else to distract you - like giving other posters advises. D:

Ha, fair enough.
I got randomly kicked from Gaming Age Family (thanks for that) and then the automatic preload of the game from PSN didn't start last night even though it was supposed to. My near-launch experience hasn't gone very smoothly so far. This is all going to end in disaster. :,,,,,,,, ((((((((
So, with the leak of the 360 version, can we confirm now that it runs well enough and that it's a safe buy.
Not that I have that many doubts about it, but just to be sure.
It runs amazingly. No framerate drops in anything I saw, game looks beautiful. Great draw distance, lighting, everything. Both systems.
It lives up to its promises, trust me.

Guys, I'm torn between versions:
I've got PS3 ordered as I want to start using PS3 as main console as PS4 will be my main next gen.
But, if I ever do actually play GTA Online, most of my friends will probably get 360 version.

I feel dirty, my self control was non existent and I watched a couple of the leaks, nothing spoilery(just player movements really) and although I'm glad I did watch them because it put my mind at ease I still feel dirty and ashamed.
Still, not long to go now

The wait is a fucking nightmare

It seems that they're sending the 360 version to reviewers. I guess that show some confidence at the very least

Am I allowed to say is that for the ps3 version too, or is that considered a spoiler?
If it is I will edit it out.
Then make new ones on PS3! Better separate soon.
I doubt all of them are on xbl tho.Also, who needs friends? YOU HAVE GTA V by then.

So when will the PSN version of GTA be up for d/l? Checked it earlier this morning and it said it would be avaliable to pre-load today?

Don't feel bad. Just don't make the same mistake twice, and go back. The game is officially out on the internet, so prepare for even bigger spoilers (story related)there.
Take a shower. QUICK.
Dude, my birthday is the 17th, GTA 5 is a gift from Rockstar to me.

No noticeable frame drops for PS3 2 people mentioned. They may not have a technical eye though. Looked smooth when the stream didn't lag.
Don't want to spoil anything, but in a single word: yes. In two words: fuck yes. Hills is an understatement.
GTA V could have difficulty levels I guess, I don't know for sure, but if the past four GTA's and Red Dead are anything to go by it'll just be the aiming options.
After watching a bunch of gameplay today, the combat looks great to me. Will start on free aim for sure.

Four more long days. Just hoping my Monday goes by quickly
No idea. I thought it would've started last night. Like, when they said it was supposed to.

This is why I am thinking about not going with the PSN version.
I would rather walk down the road at night at get a copy at midnight rather then risk dealing with the EU PSN monkey and be waiting until sometime randomly tuesday.
Yeah. I did the preorder last night because I cracked under the hype and I'm already severely regretting it. God damn you SCEE. You incompetent simians.

If it is anything like Max Payne 3, it'll be magnificent.

I feel like I just had sex and was sexually bondaged at the same time while watching the Spoiler thread with the PS3 footage. While the sex was great, the bruises are something that I have to live with until Tuesday. I feel weak now.

Bailed on the spoiler thread now, shits getting hairy in there. I'm sticking to this thread until release, hold me gaf!
So... It looks pretty good?

It looks great from what you can expect from shitty quality footage but what I was most happy with is the performance. Looked like a smooth 30 FPS.

Has Rockstar mentioned how this will work in GTA Online? I loved the challenge (and finesse) that free aiming required in RDR's open world, but hated that I often ran into people using the full lock on. It felt like being the one legit player in a game full of aimbots. Hoping some sort of "free aim only" game flag makes an appearance, like they eventually added to RDR.

No idea how they'll approach this. On MP3 the two aim modes (Soft Lock and Free Aim) had seperate servers and it turned out to be the death knell for the multiplayer. It split the user base so that, in the long run, Free Aim didn't do well out of it at all.

Seriously want to know this? Could we have a thread for this when this happens? If not, that cool.

I too am wondering this - checked about two hours ago (European PSN) and it still wasn't available.

Not sure really. Might be some free aim only lobbies, I dunno. I kinda think they should just drop all the lock on stuff for multiplayer, but they seem to be pretty committed to the different aiming methods.
HA! Same here. That was the thing that made me stop playing online RDR..

So I may be able to get a copy today. Now the question is PS3 or 360? I'm going to write down my console situation so that I can get my ideas in order, and to get a bit of feedback.
PS3: Launch 60GB model, 14GB free, almost assured dust build-up
360: Slim 250GB, >200GB free, good condition
From a "I hope the console doesn't crap out on me" point of view I'm inclined for the 360 version, but of course there's the risk it may very well be the GTA IV PS3 of GTA V. Well, at least it's the good kind of problem.

If you have Xbox Live just go with the 360 version. It is your safest bet.
I have a PS3 (2008/2009) model with 80GB and a Phat 360 with HDMI from 2008.
There is no safest bet if you were in my shoes.

It particularly did my head in with MP3. I'm pretty sure half of the skill in shooting something is in the aiming, and they go and put in a mode that takes that away. With the right gun you can shoot people halfway across the map with your eyes closed.... literally. Since the majority of players use soft-lock, it became necessary in the later days to venture in there, just to have people to play with...
The real spit-on-your-neck, kick-you-in-the-crotch moment comes when you have to listen to people who play soft-lock bragging about how badass they are running around with a one-shot kill sawn-off shotgun in full armour... Try that shit in Free Aim. I dare you.
Who's bitter? Me? Nah, man.... Naaaah....
In your situation I would not think too much.
