Oh god I hope we don't have to go through yet another game where the industry pretends they care about misogyny for 5 minutes before going back to groping cosplay girls at conventions.

OMG I laughed so hard when I read this I was crying. So true Derrick!

Ok, well we know from leaks that V isn't fundamentally broken in someway that its not even worth a purchase. That sounds to me like a problem with the commentary in the game, probably misogyny if I had to guess. Sterling's review probably says something like "in 2013, this level of sexism is not acceptable"

Maybe he read the fake review lmao xD

The hypocrisy is thick. But I'd bet these smaller sites are gonna try to cash in on a potential controversy.

Everyone is terrified of being banned lol I love it. I have NEVER seen this kind of hysteria for a game prior to release. Is there anything comparable to it? Then again, maybe it's because I'm so invested in it and have been in this thread since it was created.

It's been said many times before but one thing I love about the GTA games is how much the world itself is a character itself. Well I suppose that can be said for all Rockstar developed open world games, can't it? Those ones specifically anyway.

BISH on patrol! Couldn't be safer!

I definitely agree with your sentiment- to me the city is the true main character. These worlds feel authentic, lived in, and unique. It's about the city's glimmer! The architectural design of buildings, the bridges, the terrain- speak more for the beauty of each GTA release than anything else for me.

I'm going to spend hours in game finding my favorite vista points, to serenely pass time. Staring at the city from the mountain tops, or lost in the middle of the ocean watching the city lights glitter on the waterfront.

Gah. So excited.
 
The on off console didn't work.

Ffs! :)

So is it because the game isn't out or do I need to re-download?

Not very happy with this kind of service by Sony.

Any others other than us two that are having this issue?

edit:

MThanded?

Makabe - can you let me know if it works after you re-download please? Thanks.

I just bought GTAV DD on PSN, but all I got was the download for the Theme, but I can't find the download for the actual game in my Downloads list. How are you all able to download it?

Are you in EU? It should be in the download list, if not I'm not sure, I got it there instantly.


This excites me greatly, must resist checking before I've played a bit... Agh!

Or, the guy making those tweets realised the game wasn't for him - hence the tweet: 'It doesn't sound like I'd like it'.

Hmm. Locked at 30 or constant dips down to 20-15 like GTA4? Red Dead was my favourite open world game by Rockstar due in no small part to the fact that it never shit the bed on framerate.

More like dips to 25 when there is a lot of action/characters/cars, but mostly 30. nothing like GTA4. Should be pretty good!

I'm not sure what I'm spoiling by saying it's good :/

Just doesnt want you too be banned! I think you're good, but he's just trying to be better safe than sorry!

I would wish to report that my GTA V preload has progressed to 31% while I was away but has since gone to a complete crawl. We'll see what it'll be at tomorrow morning...

It's a hell of a lot easier to take potshots at relatively niche Japanese games than the notoriously punitive behemoth that is Rockstar. I would be stunned if anyone even mentions misogyny, let alone have it impact the score in any way.

The worst thing is the narrow-minded view of such things. Context doesn't matter, characterisation doesn't matter, naughty words/themes are naughty.
