Breakfast wrap with extra sausage no egg would be my McDonalds breakfast of choice to tuck into while the game installs but alas I'll have to go to work once the postman has been.

So many breakfast possibilities yet only one GTA V Launch day.

 

[KAP151]

Awesome OT! Is this map official?

No, but I would imagine it would be damn close.

A bunch of people have been working on it over at GTAV.net.

 

[Valnen]

But it is.

Last of Us would've swept the GOTY awards had it released in just about any other year.

I'm sure GTA will win awards over TLOU. But it won't be the better game. And certainly won't deserve the title of GOTY.

 

[Dahaka]

Do we know that the Xbox 360 version will be a safe bet again?

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

Comes down to preference most likely.

Yeah but that's a boring answer how do you compare two games, one that has EVERYTHING and (seems to) do them all well, vs a game that only does a couple of things but does them the best they've ever been, esp wrt acting and story. tbh I'm more interested to see the arguments for TLOU - I think GTA will be my GOTY/G/F so I'd be interested to see how somebody could think otherwise.

edit:

I'm sure GTA will win awards over TLOU. But it won't be the better game. And certainly won't deserve the title of GOTY.

See? What do you mean Valnen? What's your criteria?

Metrics and scaling doesn't dictate how much someone enjoys something? Thanks for this excellent insight that I'm sure has never been brought up before!

I'm so mad at myself for not preordering the Special Edition in time.

Edit: Woah I am a full blown member now! Yay.

Do we know that the Xbox 360 version will be a safe bet again?

No idea.

Everything from previews say they look quite even and perform nicely.

Though people on GAF are saying the PS3 version is slightly superior because some content (video+music) doesn't have to be compressed as much for the mandatory install. (apparent the amount of info on the 360 dvds is lesser than that of the PS3 bluray...or something).

I would like to know, I'm considering selling my PS3 since I'm getting a PS4, and the fact that I dont have many friends or games for PS3. Might just get it for 360 since that's what I used to play most/played GTAIV on (I'm playing everything on PC right now haven't bought a console game since Halo 4).

Hopefully the compression isn't horrendous on 360.

 

[flipswitch]

Isn't there a fee or something that devs have to pay for having more than one disc? (For x360)

 

[KAP151]

People that have seen and played both have said they are close enough to identical.

360 has a 8G mandatory install, so I dont think compression will be an issue.

 

[clockpunk]

Thanks for the avatar images - pinched one (http://i5.minus.com/ij6jsCLn91anj.jpg) ^_^

 

[Lakitu]

I can't wait anymore. Great OP.

 

[bunbun777]

It's almost time to jack some cars and make that money. Game of the year, yea. Game of the generation, probably. My condolences to those that do not love it, will pour out a 40 and smoke a phattie while poppin caps and killin cops and remember that there are plenty of other great games to spend your time on but me? I will be in Cali working on that tan and doing 100 down the beach cranked out and blastin the tunes while the sun sets.

PS thanks for the avy!

Are you me? I switched entirely to PC gaming a while ago but briefly came back to 360 for Halo 4. I wish I could get this game for PC and I am sure it will be on PC eventually, but I cannot wait for that and as such will settle for the 360 version.

 

[Rastafarian42]

;_; Just a week from today guys it's been a long time coming but the King of Open World Games is almost among us. Oh and the OT is beautiful OP.

EDIT THANKS FOR THE AVATAR GIZ !

Pretty sure I am.

I couldn't wait for the 1 month gap for Max Payne 3 I sure as hell can't wait for the 8+ month gap for GTAV PC.

Think I'll pick it up on 360 and sell my PS3 and put that down towards my mega edition preorder.

Also, I'll take this confused chinese guy.

[gocubs]

Great OT and thanks for the avatar. I wish i had taken some time off to play GTA 5 next week.

 

[ShipTheCheese]

Seriously contemplating taking a day off for this. Can't wait until the weekend after release to have a good binge session.

I'm afraid one day off won't satisfy me though.. Not even a week off could probably do that!

Yeah, the Xbox 360 so often held audio quality back due to its ancient disc format. Remember Skyrim and 47kbit.

Hopefully Rockstar did indeed use those PS3 advantages.

 

[Wind's Howling]

Great OT. I love the sleek black background because the colorful GTA V screenshots just pop out more because of that.

7 more days everyone. 7 more days before this thread is going to be one of the quietest it has ever been in a very long time.

Brilliant!!

Anyday now and we all lose our social lives!

Everyone who took an avatar please update with the new ones. The file sizes were over 50kb so the images were compressed, resized and looked blurry.

These new ones are optimized and will look much better.

Is this one taken? Because then it is mine;

EDIT: Nvm, taken. Damn it!

Anyone attempting to Platinum-1000/1000 this?

Nicely done Official Thread Buckethead!

I can't wait for GTAV to see all the social commentary about the the recession, the disparity of income, politics, and many other social norms. I seen a sample of this in one of the GTAV trailers showing home foreclosure signs and then wealthy mansions. 7 more days.. ^_^
