Easily going to be in contention for game of the year :bowdown: I can already tell that it's going to suck away most of my time for at least a few weeks. Enjoy! :cheers:

I've never played GTA before. My parents wouldn't let me get it. I'll probably get V though because this looks really cool.

Looks like too much. Part of GTA's genius is its simplicity. The realism is awe-inspiring, though.

My usual GTA process:

Day 1- Play the game for hours, beating missions and finding new areas.

Day 2- Reach a mission I can't beat within 3 tries and get annoyed

Day 3 and on- Use cheat codes for unlimited weapons and run around the city raising hell, beating random people up, driving fast, using rocket launchers on unnecessary things, spawning helicopters and then jumping out, seeing how long I can run from the police after some petty crime etc

That said, I'll be buying this one and doing the exact same thing

I am in awe. This is going to provide years of entertainment for me. Can't wait to 100% this beast! Biggest problem for me being that I am homeless and will probably still be homeless in September when this comes out, so I don't know when I'll actually get to sit down with it. I have a long way to go to get there. But I do have it pre-ordered at Gamestop, so I'll picking it up on September 17th for sure. Open the case and look at the book and map. I'll be well studied for it when I finally get to put it in my X-Box.

GTAIII will always be my favorite... sandbox mode originator. Truly enjoyed the car-theft for profit missions. Hopefully they'll incorporate that into this.

As for the stocks with money and all that, seems like additional fun. The fact that certain cars have to be purchased makes it seem like they may have fixed their long repeated car glitch - you know, the one where you find a rare car and then everyone on the block is seen driving it.

The graphics also looks amazing, i wish they'd get away from the diving aspect though unless they start adding missions down there. Seems like they can improve many other things, including more diverse vehicles, 18-wheelers - gas tankers etc.

GTA gets away with calling this game footage because they provide that cinematic camera angle as playable in the game, even though it's impossible to play in that view. It still looks awesome though. My pre-order is in, and I can't wait.

It is technically possible to play in cinematic camera mode while piloting a vehicle in GTA IV.... for 5 or 10 seconds until you crash :oldlol:

This game looks amazing, I hope there is a PC version.

Why are you homeless?

Eh...it's a long, complicated story.

The easiest, quickest way to put it is I was the Store Manager for the Papa Murphy's Take 'N' Bake Pizza in Wasilla. Good job, easy, lots of responsibility, good hours, nice wage. I was offered the position over the two females who had worked there for a couple of years. Didn't take long before my relationship with both of them soured in a MAJOR way. It got to the point where it was horrible going to work everyday. I endured it for a few months before I called the owner and was basically like, "Look...these bitches need to go." But she wouldn't let me fire them. She instructed me to make things as unpleasant for them as possible so that they would quit, instead of being fired, this way she could get out of paying the taxes in case they filed for unemployment. Which is illegal. And bullshit considering as I understand it, she pays those taxes anyway. Whatever. It was a mess. The war is on.

During my time as manager, my best friend of the last 8 years showed up at my work, had just left her abusive boyfriend for the millionth time, with his 3 month old baby, and said lets get a place together. I did it, no problem. She is very particular and high maintenance. Plus there is a baby. So all of my money is going to her and the baby, which I have no problem with. She used to be a drug addict, but she was clean, going to treatment. She was doing great. After about 5 months, she decides she wants to go to hair school. I have known her for a long time, this is unheard of. I happily oblige and pay her tuition. Buy a car. Everything is going great at home.

But at work, it's a daily fight. And the owner leaves me in limbo. I worked at this particular Papa Murphy's with the two females for a short time about a year before I became manager. During that time, I had a big falling out with my friend that I'm currently living with, and I was close with one of those girls at work. I talked and confided with the girl at work and told her all about the other girl and what was going on at the time. So now this girl at work who I'm enemies with has all this dirt on the chick I live with...

It started the same week me and that girl moved in together. When the girl I worked with found out, I guess she got jealous. It's the only thing I can think that makes any sense. But I was off on a Tuesday when the owners husband came in to bring paychecks, and this bitch pulls him aside and says to him, "You know, I think it's real suspicious that money has been turning up missing ever since he took over." We had been short on the tills and bottom safe for awhile, but I couldn't figure out why. I looked at cameras but couldn't see anything. It could have been an error with the WSR program, all I know is my weekly deposits were never short. And I know I wasn't taking the money. I made good money, had everything I needed. Plus I would count and handle all the cash in clear view of the camera. It wasn't me. I found out what she said from someone who had overheard her when I came to work on Thursday. I confronted her, and all she kept saying was, "Well you moved in with her!" And I was saying, "Hey! HEY! What does that have to do with you telling the owners husband that I STOLE MONEY?!" All she would talk about in her defense was me moving in with that girl.

So I called the owner and told her that I knew what had been said and I told her that if she believed it, to tell me now, and I would give her my resignation right now, because I don't need this shit. I'll go find another job and be done with it. She assured me that if she thought there was any merit to what this girl said, that I wouldn't be managing her store. So I said, "What now?" Because at this point, this bitch needs to go. The owner won't let me fire her. She won't fire her. I'm stuck. Unless I quit, but I need the job. And I felt if I left, that I would lose. And I don't lose.

But then suddenly, something very strange happened. The next time I saw the owner in person, about a week later, she took me aside and told me that she was thinking of quitting her other job, she drove full time for UPS, and coming and working in my store full time. That spelled certain doom for me. Why would she need a manager and to pay me so much if she was out here? It was still a couple of months from happening, and it wasn't a sure thing. In those couple of months I cracked the whip and did everything in my power to show her that the store was fine, I didn't need her, I had everything under control. But it didn't matter. She came anyway. And when she got here, she didn't talk to me. It was really weird. We always had a great rapport. She was talking to the two bitches who hated me all quiet all the time. Something was up.

About a week went by and me and the owner hadn't talked. In the mean time, since she had arrived, my hours had been slashed. I went from working about 60 hours a week to 30. Then after a week, she approached me and said we needed to talk. She said she couldn't afford to pay me what I had been making. I was making $15 an hour. She wanted to cut me to $10, but she didn't feel that was fair. We agreed on $12. In my head I'm starting to know I'm ****ed. Between rent, bills, the baby, car, the girls schooling, there is no way I can stay afloat. But it wasn't just my pay and hours that got cut. All of my responsibilities are taken. She changes the computer password behind my back. She makes all the freight orders. She makes the schedule. She starts hiring new people. All of which she can do, it's her store, but why does she need me? I'm literally in the back washing dishes. It's so awkward and uncomfortable.

One of the new people she hires just so happens to go to the same hair school as my roommate. I had told people I worked with that she was going to this school, I was proud of her. My friend was always telling me how she was quiet at the school because she wanted to fit in with everyone and she certainly didn't want anyone to know about her past drug issues and such. As soon as this bitch at work realizes that this new girl goes to school with my friend, she starts running her mouth to her. Remember, she had dirt on her from the year before from me. This new girl goes back to the school and starts telling other people about my friend.

I come home one night and my friend is saying that the girls at her school are acting strange, being rude to her. I think that's weird, but don't really put it together because she can be a huge bitch and I'm thinking she's not telling me the whole story or something. In the mean time, tensions are rising because it looks like we're not going to have rent on the first. I'm making half of what I was making and we were barely getting by with all the bills. She's threatening to leave. I really don't want her to. I've fallen in love with the baby by this point, and I've of course been in love with this girl for over 7 years. If they leave, I'll be devastated.

Finally, I'm at work one day and I get a call from my friend. I answer and she is going ballistic. She's accusing me of saying all kinds of ****ed up shit about her. These bitches at my work said all kinds of ****ed up shit to the girl that goes to school with her. Some of it is completely made up, some of it is based on real shit, but completely twisted and exaggerated. But that stuff has a twinge of truth to it, so there's no credibility in my denials to her. She feels completely betrayed. Won't listen to me. Cusses me the **** out. Grabs her shit and the babies shit and leaves. Drops out of her hair school. Goes back, with the baby, to her psycho ex. And it's all my fault. At least in her eyes. We've known each other since 1998 and our relationship is ruined over all this shit.

I attempt to continue working through this, despite my anger and sadness. I have to try because I'm thinking maybe I can work out something with the land lord because I've never been late or missed rent. But I'm on a sinking ship and I have to go to work and be civil to these people who have destroyed everything in my life. I lost my best friend, was going to lose my apartment, phone, car, everything. Because I couldn't afford any of it anymore. I went in one day, and they were all so rude to me. And I just said **** it. I could see where everything was heading and decided to stop continuing delaying the inevitable. I walked out, drove up to my place, packed all my clothes and personal belongings I could fit in my trunk, left everything else. Furniture, TV's, dishes, microwave, beds. Everything. And I've been living in my car ever since. This was on March 21st. Still haven't talked to my friend. I try not to think about all this because it makes me so mad. I worked my ass off at that job and was always very good to all of my employees, including those bitches that did this to me. It's unbelievable, man.

This might possibly be the greatest game ever made because it's every game that's ever made collaborated into on title.

Just by watching the trailer, you can play sports, golf, cycling and tennis. That's like sports gaming. You can fly a freaking plane. You can drive and race cars like it's Need 4 Speed or any other racing game. You can walk around and shoot at cops like it's a FPS. You can explore the big ass world and do missions.

You can buy clothes and do all the other stuff like The Sims games. Unbelievable.

It's like every game made put into one. I don't know how they can fit all that on a disc.

They will probably port the game for PC and next gen, 2014 imo.

It's coming alright. It's hilarious that a huge company like Rockstar wants us to believe they don't know what they'll be working on 2 months from now. ( in fact, if it's coming they already have been working on it)

I mean, announce an upgraded edition is on the way and people might pass on the 360.PS3 edition, so it's better to answer "we don't know yet" for now.

07-10-2013, 05:35 AM

I'm gonna try and complete San Andreas before this comes out. Never completed IV either but I won't be able to do both of them before this comes out.

Anyway, the scary thing is, this is only PS3 gameplay, and the graphics look sick. They will obviously get it on PS4 and Xbox One so imagine what the graphics would be like on that :bowdown: :lol I'm so damn hyped!
If you are playing IV on PC you should finish it very fast. Be sure to check out EFLC.

fiddy

07-10-2013, 06:14 AM

Nah, I have it on PS3. I also have EFLC as well. Completed BOGT and almost finished TLAD
IMO you should have played them in that order
IV>TLAD>BOGT

So that the stories match better.

IV is not demanding in terms of the story, whats really annoying is that while you are going somewhere(eg to attempt a mission) suddenly you cell phone rings, someone asks you out drinking/bowling/etc. You have to abandon you current travel, cross the whole city to pick an annoying mfer(Roman), cross the city again to go bowling and then drop that fat ass back home. Its time consuming and not that interesting, if you turn himdown it results in a in lower reputation with him. If you cut down on this type of bs you should finish the story quickly.

I don't know how they can fit all that on a disc.I believe I read it'll come with two discs. The first disc will have to be installed upon purchase and will require 8GB of space on your hard drive. After the first disc is installed, you'll just have to pop in the 2nd disc whenever you want to play.

I happen to have an earlier XBox with a 15GB hard drive so that presents a problem for me. I think I'll have to purchase a separate flash drive to accommodate the size of GTA.

That is just too sick and unfair for those that don't have this game.

I'm thinking it's over 100 hours or more of game play and the stuff you can do to 100% complete the game. Definitely a worth the price. It should be a $100 game to be honest.

Last game I played, was Metal Gear series and I always thought the game was too short.

This is virtual reality and the virtual world. This is future.

PS3 or 360, either one will do. I wouldn't worry about memory that much, just keep in mind that you will need to dish out some extra cash for Xbox live if you decide to go that route. A 12 month membership is around $60.

Memory would only be an issue if you had a small hard drive like I do (mine is 15 GB). There will be a mandatory 8GB download prior to initially playing the game. Since I can't remember the last time I had 8GB free (even after cleaning things out), I'll need a separate USB flash drive to make this game work.

:eek: I had no idea, thanks for filling me in. I only have a 15 gb hard drive as well, so it looks like I will have to get rid of my BF3 dlc when GTA 5 gets released. That is fine because next gen consoles and BF4 are right around the corner anyway.

If you haven't played any of them, I would seriously suggest buying the Trilogy pack and playing through GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas first. They are all great games, but as a die-hard GTA fan, even I will admit that they're really hard to play through after playing GTA IV. So much about the shooting mechanics, driving, car damage is different that, even though I dearly love each of them, they're hard to go back and play now. But as someone who's never played any of them, you'll probably love them. And then GTA V will blow your mind!

He hasnt played IV, so he should be able to properly enjoy the 3 era games. VC and SA classics. TBH i felt like IV was a step back from SA in terms of things to do.

It was a huge step back compared to SA, but to me, the driving mechanics, shooting, vehicle damage, attention to detail made up for it. A lot of people give GTA IV a hard time, but I loved it. And DLC episodes were great too.

When GTA IV came out, I had just moved into an apartment and didn't have cable. So when I'd get home from work late at night, I'd want to blaze up before I started playing. So I'd turn the game on, have Niko turn on the TV, and sit and watch the in-game TV while I smoked. But inevitably I'd get lost in watching it and wind up watching it for hours. Good times!

If you haven't played any of them, I would seriously suggest buying the Trilogy pack and playing through GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas first. They are all great games, but as a die-hard GTA fan, even I will admit that they're really hard to play through after playing GTA IV. So much about the shooting mechanics, driving, car damage is different that, even though I dearly love each of them, they're hard to go back and play now. But as someone who's never played any of them, you'll probably love them. And then GTA V will blow your mind!
:no: GTA San Andreas is definitely the most beloved of the series. All are great though

I wish I had the money to get the other games

A PS2 or Xbox with the GTA trilogy will cost you around $75 on the internet. I'm just guesstimating though.

Eh...it's a long, complicated story.

The easiest, quickest way to put it is I was the Store Manager for the Papa Murphy's Take 'N' Bake Pizza in Wasilla. Good job, easy, lots of responsibility, good hours, nice wage. I was offered the position over the two females who had worked there for a couple of years. Didn't take long before my relationship with both of them soured in a MAJOR way. It got to the point where it was horrible going to work everyday. I endured it for a few months before I called the owner and was basically like, "Look...these bitches need to go." But she wouldn't let me fire them. She instructed me to make things as unpleasant for them as possible so that they would quit, instead of being fired, this way she could get out of paying the taxes in case they filed for unemployment. Which is illegal. And bullshit considering as I understand it, she pays those taxes anyway. Whatever. It was a mess. The war is on.

During my time as manager, my best friend of the last 8 years showed up at my work, had just left her abusive boyfriend for the millionth time, with his 3 month old baby, and said lets get a place together. I did it, no problem. She is very particular and high maintenance. Plus there is a baby. So all of my money is going to her and the baby, which I have no problem with. She used to be a drug addict, but she was clean, going to treatment. She was doing great. After about 5 months, she decides she wants to go to hair school. I have known her for a long time, this is unheard of. I happily oblige and pay her tuition. Buy a car. Everything is going great at home.

But at work, it's a daily fight. And the owner leaves me in limbo. I worked at this particular Papa Murphy's with the two females for a short time about a year before I became manager. During that time, I had a big falling out with my friend that I'm currently living with, and I was close with one of those girls at work. I talked and confided with the girl at work and told her all about the other girl and what was going on at the time. So now this girl at work who I'm enemies with has all this dirt on the chick I live with...

It started the same week me and that girl moved in together. When the girl I worked with found out, I guess she got jealous. It's the only thing I can think that makes any sense. But I was off on a Tuesday when the owners husband came in to bring paychecks, and this bitch pulls him aside and says to him, "You know, I think it's real suspicious that money has been turning up missing ever since he took over." We had been short on the tills and bottom safe for awhile, but I couldn't figure out why. I looked at cameras but couldn't see anything. It could have been an error with the WSR program, all I know is my weekly deposits were never short. And I know I wasn't taking the money. I made good money, had everything I needed. Plus I would count and handle all the cash in clear view of the camera. It wasn't me. I found out what she said from someone who had overheard her when I came to work on Thursday. I confronted her, and all she kept saying was, "Well you moved in with her!" And I was saying, "Hey! HEY! What does that have to do with you telling the owners husband that I STOLE MONEY?!" All she would talk about in her defense was me moving in with that girl.

So I called the owner and told her that I knew what had been said and I told her that if she believed it, to tell me now, and I would give her my resignation right now, because I don't need this shit. I'll go find another job and be done with it. She assured me that if she thought there was any merit to what this girl said, that I wouldn't be managing her store. So I said, "What now?" Because at this point, this bitch needs to go. The owner won't let me fire her. She won't fire her. I'm stuck. Unless I quit, but I need the job. And I felt if I left, that I would lose. And I don't lose.

But then suddenly, something very strange happened. The next time I saw the owner in person, about a week later, she took me aside and told me that she was thinking of quitting her other job, she drove full time for UPS, and coming and working in my store full time. That spelled certain doom for me. Why would she need a manager and to pay me so much if she was out here? It was still a couple of months from happening, and it wasn't a sure thing. In those couple of months I cracked the whip and did everything in my power to show her that the store was fine, I didn't need her, I had everything under control. But it didn't matter. She came anyway. And when she got here, she didn't talk to me. It was really weird. We always had a great rapport. She was talking to the two bitches who hated me all quiet all the time. Something was up.

About a week went by and me and the owner hadn't talked. In the mean time, since she had arrived, my hours had been slashed. I went from working about 60 hours a week to 30. Then after a week, she approached me and said we needed to talk. She said she couldn't afford to pay me what I had been making. I was making $15 an hour. She wanted to cut me to $10, but she didn't feel that was fair. We agreed on $12. In my head I'm starting to know I'm ****ed. Between rent, bills, the baby, car, the girls schooling, there is no way I can stay afloat. But it wasn't just my pay and hours that got cut. All of my responsibilities are taken. She changes the computer password behind my back. She makes all the freight orders. She makes the schedule. She starts hiring new people. All of which she can do, it's her store, but why does she need me? I'm literally in the back washing dishes. It's so awkward and uncomfortable.

One of the new people she hires just so happens to go to the same hair school as my roommate. I had told people I worked with that she was going to this school, I was proud of her. My friend was always telling me how she was quiet at the school because she wanted to fit in with everyone and she certainly didn't want anyone to know about her past drug issues and such. As soon as this bitch at work realizes that this new girl goes to school with my friend, she starts running her mouth to her. Remember, she had dirt on her from the year before from me. This new girl goes back to the school and starts telling other people about my friend.

I come home one night and my friend is saying that the girls at her school are acting strange, being rude to her. I think that's weird, but don't really put it together because she can be a huge bitch and I'm thinking she's not telling me the whole story or something. In the mean time, tensions are rising because it looks like we're not going to have rent on the first. I'm making half of what I was making and we were barely getting by with all the bills. She's threatening to leave. I really don't want her to. I've fallen in love with the baby by this point, and I've of course been in love with this girl for over 7 years. If they leave, I'll be devastated.

Finally, I'm at work one day and I get a call from my friend. I answer and she is going ballistic. She's accusing me of saying all kinds of ****ed up shit about her. These bitches at my work said all kinds of ****ed up shit to the girl that goes to school with her. Some of it is completely made up, some of it is based on real shit, but completely twisted and exaggerated. But that stuff has a twinge of truth to it, so there's no credibility in my denials to her. She feels completely betrayed. Won't listen to me. Cusses me the **** out. Grabs her shit and the babies shit and leaves. Drops out of her hair school. Goes back, with the baby, to her psycho ex. And it's all my fault. At least in her eyes. We've known each other since 1998 and our relationship is ruined over all this shit.

I attempt to continue working through this, despite my anger and sadness. I have to try because I'm thinking maybe I can work out something with the land lord because I've never been late or missed rent. But I'm on a sinking ship and I have to go to work and be civil to these people who have destroyed everything in my life. I lost my best friend, was going to lose my apartment, phone, car, everything. Because I couldn't afford any of it anymore. I went in one day, and they were all so rude to me. And I just said **** it. I could see where everything was heading and decided to stop continuing delaying the inevitable. I walked out, drove up to my place, packed all my clothes and personal belongings I could fit in my trunk, left everything else. Furniture, TV's, dishes, microwave, beds. Everything. And I've been living in my car ever since. This was on March 21st. Still haven't talked to my friend. I try not to think about all this because it makes me so mad. I worked my ass off at that job and was always very good to all of my employees, including those bitches that did this to me. It's unbelievable, man.

Hang in there man, been in your shoes when I was around 15, I'll say a prayer for you!

You aint got no family nearby to help you out?

That's another long, crazy story. No, we had a big falling out a few years ago. I am completely alone in this world. This girl who hates me now was my only friend. All my other friends bailed on me years ago when me and her first started kicking it all the time. Which makes the circumstances that occurred all the more devastating.

15. My parents let me play like Battlefield 3 and stuff like that, but once they see "sexual content" on the rating they get upset. Weird how killing people is less taboo then sex. :lol

I always remember I was at Gamestop and a kid was asking his mom if he could get LA Noire. His mom asked why it was rated M and he said somethin like

"Blood, gore, sexual themes, very strong language, use of drugs, graphic violence"

She goes "sexual themes?? No boy put that down" :oldlol:

The mutilated bodies and brutal killings are fine, but sexual themes? :no:

I remember getting GTA2 and going "WTF is this?!" but I still played it. This is something else though. So much replay value for the three characters and some great plot stuff.

I see a lot of sick days being taken on its release date for companies worldwide.

The mutilated naked bodies.

Seriously, it's hilarious.

Bump. The only disappointing part about this game will be the graphics since they won't be current-gen they still look updated. Comparison pics:

Can't link a source atm, but I've heard 3.5x times the size or Red Dead Redemption world. 5 times if you count the underwater exploration.

what do you mean they won't be current?
As in they won't be Xbox One or PS4. I guess those consoles won't be out in Sept though, so they won't be next-gen graphics*

It's been confirmed that it's gonna be bigger than San Andreas, IV and RDR's maps combined.
This might just end up being the greatest game of all time.

For a game like this, the graphics are almost irrelevant. They'll still be damn good for current gen though. The game is so big that it'll come with two discs, one of which is just a pure install onto your hard drive and the second disc will be the one you use to play.
