I just wonder if it will release on all platforms at the same time.

They said all updates will be releasing across all platforms at the same time from the pc release forward, I thought.
One of the negatives about buying it on Steam. It will most likely take upwards of 30 minutes, given the size. No idea why Valve feels the need to completely encrypt everything with a pre-load.
To stop people reverse engineering games before they're out most likely.
My friend ordered from cjs-cdkeys, their website states its a RSC key as expected. Since they dont get their keys till release, users are prompted to use a torrent to pre load today. Except that they are using the Steam preload torrent. My friend just wasted a lot of time! Im going to copy my RSC preload for him via USB tomorrow.
More like an hour at least

The RSC preload will take just as long to decrypt/uncompress surely ? They are roughly the same size
Didn't RSSC download individual files into a directory structure? Steam just has like 5 giant files it needs to unpack.

That is good if true. I didn't hear that.

Probably not...in my experience you have to relaunch steam or try to manually launch the game

Yes, the decryption on such a large game takes forever on Steam. At least 30 minutes and wouldn't be surprised if it took an hour
A lot of times, I'd just rather DL it after launch so I don't have to go through the decryption process. Since I have a 175mbit internet connection anyway
Also I hate the decryption because it stresses out your HD bigtime and you basically cannot do anything else on that HD while it's going on (at least for mechanical drives)
If possible, install a remote desktop app on your phone and start the unpacking while at work.

I had no plans on the triple dip but here I am preloading lol. Yeah future DLC on PC here as well (if it's a good port that is)
I haven't seen it update yet when I update the apps on my phone. I don't know for sure if it will need to be updated to support the PC since it uses the Social Club. Did it need to be updated for the PS4/Xbox One release? If so I'm guessing it will be any day and that the manual app will be updated too since when I was using it last night it didn't have the PC listed as a platform.

This is the only game I plan on playing online, would love to be part of a GAF group in GTA Online.

god damn, makes it even harder to take seriously the notion that 60fps isn't the right fit for this game or that it looks too 'smooth' or 'gamey' with shit like this out there now. if anything 60fps is the perfect fit for GTA V
I mean look at this, or this.

So is the OT going up in 1/2 hour? That will mark 24hrs till release.
There's no another, I reckon.
I've got a physical copy on the way (posting here as there's no OT yet), and I'm pretty damn excited. I didn't really enjoy GTAIV or SA as I did III/VC, so I'm going into V with some cautious optimism - Hoping for a return to my tastes.
As much as I love GTA and GTA V, I don't think so. Skyrim and Garry's Mod are insanely modded, it'd take years for it to catch up.

I really enjoyed 5 but never did the online bits so that is all new to me.

Maybe it would if Rockstar got their heads out of their asses and actually supported the community with proper tools. Instead of just making use of iCEnhancer for GTA IV when making an in-game film.

Does it officially support mods like Skyrim?
I played it for half an hour when I was over my brothers house at xmas. Didn't do any missions, but the graphics (PS4) were pretty damn impressive.
Wait what? What film in GTA V used iCEnhancer?
Dick Justice

Meltdown. You can watch it in one of the cinemas after a certain point in the story.

No, but that didn't stop GTA IV from having mods. If GTA IV can have the type of mods it does, with it being such a bad port, then V should be crazy.
fluffydelusions
Member
Hopefully. I remember reading the atlis life (Arma mod) guys were going to do a PC version for GTAV
I never saw Meltdown so I never knew about it. It's really obvious when they show Middle Park, that overview of Liberty City too.
Edit: Just saw the entire thing, that was really blantant.

That's what I'm talking about. Nothing but the highest quality of mods shall be in V.
