Do it on the clock, rebel!
As hyped as I am and even being my favorite videogame series so far, I'll have to do the same.
Grown up life sucks, I want my free afternoons/nights back.
More than EXTREME! It's that Day One shared spirit!
We'll be happily exploring all at the same time!

Don't you dare let me down GMG, I need this when I get home from work on Tuesday!
That's a deep question. Do they know how their Dad made his money? Was he around when they were growing up? If he was, were they privy to some of his activities, did they see things they didn't like?
I haven't read into the characters, I'm going only on what Rockstar has shown us. So you might know more than I do.
Yeah, the Sopranos comes to mind.DeadlyVirus said:
Nvm, you already fixed it.
Heh, I remember doing that too, fun stuff!. Although I find typing words a lot easier than button inputs.
I really hope there are more cheats, this seems rather empty for such a big game, heck I wouldn't mind some cheats-DLC.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's how it panned out.

I really, really doubt that's going to happen.
Lol, not going to happen.
I don't think it'd make me a bad person, but there are aspects of these kind of characters that really don't appeal to me. I don't always hate characters doing bad things...killing for the right reasons in stories is fine with me. As an example, I saw the new Riddick movie, and Riddick is a tough bad guy type character, but he also has a set of values and morals. He doesn't kill someone for no reason, and he doesn't prey on the weak. When he killed a bounty hunter in that movie with a machete, it was brutal as hell, but that guy deserved it.
I've seen some stuff on the streams for GTA5 where the characters are just doing bad things, because they're bad people...I can't get behind that nearly as much.

IMHO it made cheating too easy. Cheating should require some effort because let's face it, cheating is lame 
(especially the lose wanted level and health cheats)

Baha- that quote change!
I love Sleepy Dawgs, but nothing really compares to GTA. The melee system was awesome, the city was really well designed, the missions all felt really wonderful. But the driving was awful. The shooting felt so tacked on! And those dating missions... oh no!
I would since GTA has already publicly shown far more interesting, diverse and fun content then what was in all of SD.

Cheat discussion...
But that's kind of my point. It appreciate it's not like this for everyone, but by the time I'm using cheats, it's because I've done everything remotely challenging and I'm just looking for some chaotic fun. So easy access is essential for that.
Nah.
Nope. I'm just expecting it to be fun and awesome, which it sounds like it will be.

I'm looking forward to it, but my hype levels are still in check, I expect a really good game. I haven't been stupidly overly excited for a game in a long time though; last one may have been Deus Ex 3 as Deus Ex 1 is my favourite game ever.
Probably. But being not quite as good as the hype that surrounds it, would still make it the greatest game of all time.
But it is just a game.
Have no worries! I loved IV, and I'll be going through some major withdrawal leaving Liberty City. But every trailer we've seen, every screenshot, everything just looks so different. We're going West! And character switching sounds so promising.
The vastness of Los Santos is going to be so rad. We'll be lost for days!
I don't get what's stopping you...
You enjoyed SR but this looks too real? I don't understand the objection.
Ive actually managed my hype well. Im going in with an open mind ready to be blown away by what ever I see. Ive even stayed away from most spoilers too.. which is uncommon now a days considering how streams and youtube videos are these days.

I got one day and about 20 hours left. Thankfully around 16 of that will be taken up by sleep, hopefully.

I think we need a new thread for the non story gifs and videos.
I wanted to see some gameplay and I think I've just read story spoilers because someone posted without tags. This binary approach to threads for big games like this isn't enough.
Not all of us go on media blackouts, we want to see gameplay without getting a game's narrative revealed
Really irritated now.

Go forth and start the thread!

That's why I don't hype myself up for games too much. Instead I keep thinking of GTA IV and how it bored the piss out of me despite the review scores telling me how amazing it all was. So I just figure it'll be a decent game and I'll have some fun with it and that'll be that. Anything more and I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Love to but I'll be damned if I'm stepping into that thread again.

If you're referring to that Trevor thing someone posted in the other thread. It was fake, completely fabricated information by the poster to be "funny." I'm super glad he was just joking.
I think I already addressed that... SR is just absurb. It's not something I can take seriously, because it's just friggin nonsense, where the story is so unlikely that it's not really relatable in a real world sense. It's funny, because it's like a farce of the GTA series. It's the Naked Gun of the open world video game genre (not nearly as funny, but you get the point).

Happy to hear that. I glanced and caught it and jumped back out of that thread double quick.
I hear that entirely. I think a lot of times, it's the game's writers' preferences that choose how these characters evolve, and what types of activities we'll engage in. And some of those actions will be pretty despicable- it reminds me of pieces of Red Dead, where the player sometimes couldn't identify with Marston's motivations.
That being said, I'm okay with this. I want my complex psychopathic gangsters. Reckless disregard for everything around them, intermixed with some crazy narrative development. I think part of me kind of desires this violent, sadistic criminal behavior to make me question my character's actions.
Hell, most of the game when I'm not partaking in the story, I'll just be joyriding/listening to music and enjoying the sights. It's all player preference how we choose to interact with the world- kill everything in sight, peacefully stroll downtown or a little of both when not engaged in a Story mission. The beauty of it!
This will sound odd and pretty childish of me... But I really hope that when GTAV comes out that it knocks Hearthstone off of Twitch's top played games.
The way the beta has been handled has really rubbed me the wrong way and I have alot of salt built up towards it.
I hope all the streamers that keep giving that game coverage move on to GTAV and stop giving it so much love.

The Warcraft Card game.
But the humor and absurdity is there in GTA too it's just not as slapstick as SR. Almost everyone is a cartoon of american culture in some way or another.
