I believe a Social Club will be needed regardless if playing single player or multiplayer.
Rockstar will basically be using their own launcher it looks like.
You probably have to wait til the preorder preload date pops up.

Mine isn't much better, i get like 500-550KB/sec maximum (400 most of the time). Even though i'm paying for an "up to 24Mbps" connection, i only get 1/5 or less of that speed. So, downloading this game will be a long journey and a pain.
And if i had to answer to your question, i would just say that i live in Greece, where everyone seem to only care about mobile internet speeds and nothing else (because it's the new hip thing), so no advancements/improvements for home connections for years. I have the same crappy speed ever since 2007 or 8 (it was decent back then i guess).

is this game really gonna be a 65GB download? Don't a lot of games have ridiculously high required space, but the actual game size is mostly 1/3 of it? I dunno. I hope that's the case anyway. 65GB is just ridiculous for my shitty internet.
No most likely some compression will happen. I am going to guess and say it probably be a 40gb download (+/- 10GB)
I'm pretty sure that's just the required HDD space. The download itself will probably be significantly less since it'll be compressed. Perhaps 30-40GB? But every game differs in terms of compression so all we can do is guess.

Yes, no problem.
Gamersgate has a deal on for GTA V. Get $19 back in coins on the purchase.
My Internet is 100-300kbs its a nightmare to download things.
However Fibre Optic should be enabled within the next 2 weeks. Hopefully it will be done sooner or later.
Try Green Man Gaming. They typically have a VIP section if you create an account with them.
Or/and they will have a discount code of 20% you can apply onto the order.

Nice, a week (give or take some hours). That's the longest pre-load period on Steam yet, just edging out the six-and-a-bit days Deep Silver gave people to download Gat out of Hell.
It's ~USD$28.70 on Nuuvem. Use Hola or FlyVPN to buy it (the latter will work if the former doesn't).
Yeah, for some reason countries like Australia and Norway has some insane gaming prices on Steam (and not just Steam, everywhere else as well..). It's just extra painful when it's digital goods, it creates a bad feeling of being exploited for no good reason whatsoever.
The area I live in the uk is a bit rural. Plus it isn't my place and I don't intend to stay too long in the area, so don't feel it is necessary to bring up the issue. It was a shock at first to move from a place with 8mb/s to this haha
If anybody could help me out getting this, I'd be willing to give them $35 for it.
I really don't want to have to mess with VPN's or whatever.

You need to use the Hola extension and set it to Brazil or Argentina to add the game to the cart. It's ~$30 and there is nothing fishy about their keys.
The one thing we don't know is if the keys might be region locked, but so far it doesn't look like it. Nuuvem always says if they are otherwise, but this is Rockstar and anything is possible with them..
Otherwise Greenmangaming is the cheapest with their discounts from what I've seen.
Just install the Hola extension, you don't need to do anything really. Press 1 button to enable it and you are done.
Gotta install Chrome, too....alright alright! In the name of saving money(hopefully).
For if Hola doesn't work for you (like with me, kept giving me a 401 error page), a quick FlyVPN guide:
1. Make an account at nuuvem.
2. Download FlyVPN: https://www.flyvpn.com/download
3. Log in using one of the free trail accounts: https://www.flyvpn.com/freetrial
4. Connect to a brazilian VPN server
5. Go to nuuvem> log in > add to cart > check out using paypal.
That was the way I managed to buy the game successfully from the Netherlands.
Thanks. That's the kind of hassle I was hoping not to go through, though.
Hola through Chrome worked fine. Came out to £20 or so.
Fingers crossed now!
What browser are you using? Hola should be available for pretty much anything.

Just re-installed Windows while doing my PC spring cleaning. Got enough room on the SSD for the game now, so that's nice.

Does anyone know if reviews will be out before release?
Seems unlikely. Not exactly a ton of outlets that will probably review it in the first place.

I doubt a port of an 18mth old game will have an embargo

Wow, $75 dollars is pretty steep, it's £40 here on UK Steam and the disc version is £30 which is like $44. Don't forget the £30 includes 20% tax so its £24 plus 20% tax which works out $37 including 8% sales tax.
I've seen the disc version and digital pre order range from £25-35, no vpn funny business needed. I bought the £30 disc. I don't think UK Steam would sell a copy at ~£60, which would be like the $75 US Steam.
EDIT, google is saying the US Steam is the standard $60. Not cheap but not $75 either. UK non Steam price is still very good compared to the US. £40 Steam is about on par as expected.

Contacted nuuvem saying I'm buying in Brazil and want to activate whilst on holiday
First I got a generic response
Now im considering this
http://www.gamersgate.com/gtav
is it insane that I would rather pay twice that price for a real steam game? do I have stockholm syndrome for gabe's DRM software?

Permabanned.
third time buying this game. PS3, PS4 and now PC. i can't help myself though and to be honest i really don't care. GTA is my favourite game series.
will pre order on 7th april to get the pre load. i really don't want to be sitting about waiting for a 65GB download to finish on launch day.

That Gamersgate deal seems good with getting the $20 of coins back. GMG still has it in their VIP deals for around $47. Both of those are non-Steam of course.
Not fussed about steam as you require to have RSC signed in either way. I can add as a non steam game to use the steam overlay. Only loss is cloud saves but maybe R* is handling that? Isn't a big deal to me though.
£9 more at GMG but don't have any money locked in as store credit like Gamersgate.
Well the PS4/X1 download was around 44GB.
So it won't be 40GB I bet.
I'm guessing around 50-55GB
Rockstar may be able to compress the download more for a PC install.

The "up to" bit always get's ya. Marketing rubbish.
Cool, you'll be downloading with a 100mb/s connection in no time!
They havent decided on region lock yet.
Key word is "if you're in latin america". Game is $31.93 on Steam in Brazil, and Brazil copies can be activated in latin america without issues. There's no region lock inside latin america itself.
I can't believe this - just found out that fibre gets to the house on the 14th - so we get jumped to 40mb/s......... how typical that I won't get it when I need it. Ah well, at least playing online won't be an issue
I don't think it will be given the ROW sub is on use on Steam BR, but the possibility exists nonetheless.
