Grand Theft Auto V (A.K.A 5) - Part 3

[cherokeesam]

How much sq miles was IV's map?,Will fast-travel be the same as IV by using taxis?,Wheels like in Red Dead would be cool or like in the old games by using train stations

Mass transit would feel out of place in Los Santos. Subways and taxis are an integral part of NYC/Liberty City culture, but they're famously ignored in LA. Maybe using metro buses for fast travel in place of the subways/taxis would give Los Santos a more unique feel than the Liberty City experience.

But, let's face it: if you want an "authentic" LA/LS experience, there's no such thing as "fast travel" anyway. You should have to plug your way through the traffic jams on the freeways like everybody else.

Anyone been crewing up for GTA V/Online? I have. I even tried to join the GTA V O'Clock crew, but ended up joining a fake one without knowing it lol. Though I tried requesting to join the real one, but I got knocked back (twice).

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Haha not yet. I think me and some friends will be starting up a crew tho

 

[The Infernal]

Yeah, I made up a crew ages ago. It's easy enough to set one up. Mine is called 'Cerberus UFE FIB' after three organisations from separate Rockstar games. Though it's just me and one other guy at the moment. I don't have a large friends list on PSN as I don't have many online games. It's only really games like GTA, Max Payne or Uncharted that I play online.

Oh my science this is going to be the slowest week ever!

 

[PyroChamber]

I was just thinking, how quick does anyone think this game will sell out?

 

[runawayboulder]

Do games even really sell out anymore? I thought only new systems did...

 

[Bruce Malone]

So this is what passes for video game reporting these days?

"GTA V-10 Reasons it Will Definitely Suck"

This is from someone who hasn't actually played the game yet either.

Not really, it can happen, as iv worked at GameStop when we sold out of Fifa and NBA 2K, however, for a game as massive as GTA, no, they aren't going to sell out. The publishers/retailers will all make sure they have plenty of copies in stock.

Yea, that link will prob get plenty of clicks though. That's the whole reason someone writes an article like that.

Edit, I just skimmed through it and I think that article is satirical.

No it's definitely not. I have a good eye for satire and the guy is actually raging against GTA V.

Obvious click-bait but it's just baffling a proclamation like this could be made against a game that's not even out yet.

I honestly can't tell. If it's legit, it's a poor argument, either way that article is from June of last year.

 

[James]

Nonsense like that is best ignored by all.

On a bright note, I finally got paid for the first time in over a year (immigration) so I was finally able to pre-order GTA V. Just got back from EB and looking forward to that midnight release!

I'm planning to get a nice HD TV next Friday too, if all goes according to plan, it shall be glorious.

I took that article to be satire.

I feel ashamed for clicking on that.

It's obvious they're trolling for clicks.

Nice.

I just realized that I won't get the game until around 5pm Tuesday. Man that's gonna be one looooong day haha.

[The Infernal]

That's pretty big. Though I'm most keen to explore the underwater sections. I really hope there are some cool and weird easter eggs to be found there.

I wonder how long it will take for this to get on XBOX Live Marketplace ? Madden got on a week alter after release & Saints Row 4 got on a few weeks after

 

[Bruce Malone]

Hmm i'd have preferred it wasn't another island and maybe had some mountains as the borders like in Red Dead. However I guess since there are planes that wouldn't work?

How do you guys find the proportions? it seems at least 2/3rd's of the map are rural-ish.

As long as its packed with detail, there will be no issue. That was the problem with San Andreas. I cant wait to outfit a car for off-road and explore the rural parts of LS.
