I really hope the review embargo is not the day before release, or something.

GTA V has gone gold.
- Thread starter Dug

Surprised we don't know it yet. IGN should have a countdown or something by now.
I'm just gonna have to repost this every ten posts haha
OT TIME:
You should verify some of that stock into your pocket...
"Uh, we seem to be missing one..? Weird."
OT TIME:
I'm really sad because I have to verify stock on the game tomorrow, and I can hold the box, and look at it, but I won't be able to play it

I wouldn't be surprised if it's midnight on the 17th.

Tomorrow we will see the leak!
It was his first OT, so we all cut him some slack.
I'm just anticipating the early videos, only to click on it and see THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN REMOVED FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT BY ROCKSTAR GAMES.
8 days.I was looking up when IGN posted their GTA IV review and it was April 25 which was 4 days before release. So it might be soon unless the embargo does end the day before release...which would be weird.
(here is a link to the ign review thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=286083. Kinda funny reading people freak out.)
If people are really willing to steal out of a warehouse, then yes. The game is in transit all over the world right now and should be getting to most big box retailers tomorrow or Wednesday. Smaller stores, should be receiving by the end of the week I believe.
The final of the game of the decade contest:
TES VS GTA

Do we even know who all has the game aside from IGN? I know none of us small guys that are supposed to be getting a copy have got one yet.

Very glad it's not Fallout vs. GTA, because I love both series almost equally. I think I love GTA a bit more, but Fallout is close.
Gamespot should announce the winner on the 17th
I'm assuming Giantbomb has someone working on it, either Brad or Jeff as Patrick and Alex this morning said they wouldn't be reviewing it but rather someone in San Francisco.

No one is playing the game yet and no, don't think it was the whole game they let you pre load. But people were still able to decrypt some of it and get soundtracks and such.
I would say post pictures of the map but that would require you opening it...I'm really sad because I have to verify stock on the game tomorrow, and I can hold the box, and look at it, but I won't be able to play it

Red Dead Redemption will change your mind on that (edit: beaten!)
Study for them at least a little bit each day this week to keep everything fresh in your mind the whole time. Even if you do nothing on the 17th but GTA5, the tests' material will still seem like second nature. Just one of the weird ways our brains work. That technique got me through most of gradschool.
Will do.
I wish the midnight releases I'm working next week were able to play it because I could just talk to one of the managers I'm close with to let me check out their store use copy and go through and take pictures.
Eh, I bought some GTA games on a sale a while ago and tried to power my way through all of them. Gave up on both GTA3 and Vice City to put my effort into finishing San Andreas, but I'm finding it hard. It's my first time playing through the full game - there's a lot to admire and there's been some awesome moments so far (I'm up to the part where they move to the city) but it seriously hasn't aged well. The dated mechanics and design decisions can be pretty infuriating at times.
One of the things I'm hoping for is the ability to save anywhere you are, or at least more common places to save.

If you're gonna have the game in your hands tomorrow, then so will the pirates. Gonna have to start avoiding game-related sites reeeeal soon.
Or, I guess, wait for a detailed writeup of the plot and read that so the spoilers will at least be in context.
Halo 4 leaked something like 3 weeks early, as did Gears of War: Judgement. I can't remember which, but I think there was another game leak several years back that was so early that it didn't actually have the final version of the game.
No, you would have to do in manually. If you're in the US, that download could suck because of the lack of pre-loading, and if a lot of people are going the digital route. If you're in Europe, the pre-loading option should be coming back up soon if I remember correctly.
I'm gonna miss the old man :/ you were a wise grandfather!
He'll be back once the hype dies down.

I know that feeling, my company is getting all of its stock in the next 3 days and i have to help put electronic tags in thousands of copies of the game.
By Thursday i will have had my hands on a couple of thousand copies of GTA V. God frigging dammit.

It's a giant damn tease.
But for anyone who's not on media blackout and avoided the audio leaks, today or tomorrow should be your last day before video starts flooding everywhere.
As much as i love Morrowind, i think i liked more GTAs than TES.

Hyped. The countdown is so painful

Hell no.
So dumb that you can have it auto-update stuff with PS+ but not download pre-order stuff.
how does the OT thread starter get chosen, text based, Rock, paper, scissors?
-Im guessing its a selection process, given there could be a few made.
I think there's a thread where you can sign up to be a designated OT creator.
Thanks!
i just realised michael has the same suit that max has in 2 levels of max payne 3
i feel stupid

edit: beaten multiple times.
The amount of detail in GTA IV goes unappreciated.
I failed quite a few missions often, and you end up realizing that each mission has multiple variations on the 'car dialogue' (the talking that happens while you drive to your objective), dialogue for failing depending on how you failed etc. I wasn't aware that there was different dialogue depending on the missions you had done previously, and in what order. I'm amazed that there is different failure dialogue for letting a person die, abandoning them or wrecking your car. And this is on a per mission basis.
Amazing stuff. It'll be interesting to see if GTA V does something similar, with the multiple protaganists ("You let Franklin get shot, Trevor" for instance).
