I will never sell mine because of all the add-ons they release for it. Still have every GTA they released for Xbox. Same with Forza, Madden, NHL, etc…I guess I just know I will never get what I paid for them and just keep them.
Oh for sure I agree, but you know the people that only care about missions… then to move onto the next game. They will sell it.
i should probably go pick up my copy.

Just an FYI for those w/ 360…
you might ant to consider installing your disc 1 to your HDD and the disc 2 to an 8gb hard drive or bigger. This will prevent you from having graphic issues and also having your disc spinning the whole time.
Installing right meow!
I just pooped.
Now I’m installing the disc.
I Had a 12hr day of work, got home played it for an hour and a half and got the red ring of death… For like the 10th time! It’s too late to fix it tonight 
I’m tired of fixing my old Xbox I think I’m gonna buy a new one tomorrow.
Played it for a few hours last night, meh.
Oh, who the fuck am I kidding. This game is nuts!
I’m about 7% into the missions and I am blown away at how much you can actually do in this game. Swimming was the first thing I thought was awesome. Especially when you go underwater out in the ocean.
Grabbed it last night. The gameplay is fun and there’s a ton to do, but I prefer the older, more realistic driving physics of GTA4. Everything is so twitchy and sensitive in 5 - even all the larger vehicles like tow trucks and security vans handle like they’re on rails.
I actually find the stock market to be the best part about this game

Parachuting from the top of the mountain is awesome too. Gotta have a off road beetle or dirtbike to get up there though.
[FONT=Helv][SIZE=2]With the amount of true-to-life activities in this game, it’s kind of interesting seeing how people react to that. I had something of an “a-ha” moment a few weeks back when talking to a friend who was also excited for the game. He says, “I can’t wait to buy a sick garage and some cars and make them look cool and try to have a nice house and have friends over for parties and shit”. I’m like…that sounds an awful lot like what we should be aiming for in real life?
Just kind of a thought provoking moment…

Sons of a bitch… I hate that I subscribed to this thread. I want to get this game every single time I see this thread now. I don’t want to be a hermit and I know putting in a half hour will turn into, “shit its fucking 3am and I got work at 8am”
It took a lot of will power to go to bed at a reasonable hour last night. Even more not to call in sick today. Heh.
Don’t be a pussy, just go buy the damn game.
lol, I’ve been trying to keep active… not sit on a couch all week. I already sit all day at work as it is. But I’ve had this on my mind now for the past 2-3 days nonstop. I didn’t give a shit this whole time it was being talked about, but now that its released… game over for me. (I’ll probably have it by the weekend) lol
Just in case you guys might want to know some more cool stuff about the game:
- You can turn car engines off
Presumably for no other reason than to look badass when you pull up to someone’s apartment for a stakeout.
- You can watch an in-game TV show spoof of ‘World Wildest Police Videos’ set in Los Santos
It airs on the ‘CNT network’ around town and is called The Underbelly of Paradise.
- You can set fire to oil slicks
Gasonline can leak during crashes in GTA 5, adding a new level of danger to motorway pile-ups. Trails of oil, whether originating from a vehicle or the jerrycan you emptied on a hapless victim, can be ignited or shot at from distance to blow things up. Very cinematic.
- Blaine County looks utterly brilliant
- There is a fort, a prison, a power station, two mountain ranges and a ‘wilderness’ area
The leak of the game’s official map revealed some awesome landmarks, with the prison getting its own no-fly zone and Mount Chiliad being serviced by a cable car system.
- Unlike the last San Andreas-set game, there doesn’t seem to be girlfriends
Which will save you a lot of tedious trips to bowling alleys and highway code-friendly drives home.
- GTA V is huge – but fortunately there’s turbo sprint
Given the immense size of San Andreas, there’s likely to be Skyrim-levels of disorientation when you dive from a burning car somewhere in the countryside. Fortunately, in addition to walking and sprinting, there is a turbo sprint function to aid you in finding your way back to town, although it requires repeatedly tapping sprint, so prepare for some thumb ache.
- You can buy your own bong shop
Smoke In The Water, seen in the gameplay trailer, is a purchasable property serving San Andreas residents with a medical marijuana license.
- GTA Online has at least 700 missions
While GTA IV’s online version saw players running around like Uzi-toting headless chickens, V’s will be more structured, plot-driven and hopefully infinitely more rewarding.
- ‘Cover of darkness’ is a viable tactic now
Those who have played the game say non-playable characters struggle to see you in the dark much like a stealth game, so you may want to consider leaving your heists until nightfall. NPCs are also smarter, however, and will hit the gas if they think you’re about carjack them.
- The radio stations serve as an awesome soundtrack to destruction
From an experimental hip hop show presented by Flying Lotus, to a lo-fi punk and indie show curated by Wavves, the radio stations are more thoughtful (and more esoteric) than ever.
- You can download apps and games on your in-game phone
…If for some reason you’d rather play a Candy Crush variant than base jump with a flamethrower.
- Pedestrians look crazier than ever
- You can drive trains
But they’re on rails, remember, so this might sound more fun than it actually is.
- Roads remain detailed even when you’re high up
Before they would be stripped down and look empty, but as seen in leaked gameplay footage of Franlin stealing a jet plane, traffic is still visible even as you soar above the skyscrapers.
- Vinewood has its own HOLLYWOOD sign
That you can clamber over if you so desire.
- This is only the beginning
Rockstar has dreams/plans to expand the online environment to encompass past games and possibly the entire world.
The girlfriend was over last night while I was playing and actually made the comment that she thought the game was hilarious. So I had her drive a truck around for 15 mins while she destroyed pretty much everything in sight. She looked over at me and was like, “Why is this fun? God.”
It would probably be fun to her if women didn’t actually drive like that in real life!
