The OAO Grand Theft Auto IV Thread

[Dan]

I'm up for the allnighter I reckon.

Can't fucking wait, my mate is meeting me in town about 10 then we're heading up to Gamestation, gunna pick the game up then GTA 'til dawn.

Awesome stuff.

[LexChaney]

It's early to bed tonight for Lexie, so I will be up and be the first at Game to pick up my copy. I am so looking forward to GTA at the moment, even if it mean's that I'm spending my holiday money on it, as if a holiday will be better than this game.

[LL!]

It... would be?

[Dan]

NEVAR!

[Ash J. Williams]

My Amazon pre-order should arrive tomorrow, despite saying it should arrive May 1st. It's about 100 miles(give or take) away from me, and there's no way it should get here on May 1st.

:) :)

Yeah Kou, thanks for mentioning something irrelevant, it was cute. Gamestops don't break street dates. EB Games might, if you're lucky enough to have one that managed not to get sucked up by Gamestop. As it stands, Gamestop doesn't street dates, that'd be like a theater showing movies 3 days before they're released.

Gamestop = EB Games.

There's no EB Games here that aren't controlled by Gamestop.

So even though I've got a copy set aside for myself at work the manager's said we can't hold any stock back past the first 15 minutes of opening at 8am. Was planning on heading up around lunchtime, but I suppose I'll have more time to play it this way even though I'll be tired as hell. Just hope it doesn't rain tomorrow morning... >_<

[apsham]

The plan here is up at 8, bus whenever to the bookstore to sell back books, bus to mall for 10 to get GTA, bus home ASAP to play GTAIV.

[oldskool]

Mine was shipped today, even though GameStop said it wouldn't be shipped until release day. With any luck I'll be playing tomorrow, without any luck it'll be Wednesday.

I don't know if I should just dive into multiplayer or if I should go single-player first.

And you aren't getting yours early, cause they aren't breaking street dates. What games have you gotten from a Gamestop controlled store early?

[abundant]

You'll have to dive into the single player first to unlock the cellphone and multiplayer. Don't worry, it's just the first mission, so it shouldn't take too long.

[M.V.P.]

Heh. found a store that sells it for €50, and they don't take pre-orders.

So it is off to VideoLand at 8.

I'm not getting mine early because the EB Games I get my games from is getting the shipments tonight. In the past I've gotten Vice City, San Andreas, FF X, FF XII, Fire Pro Wrestling Returns, Halo 3 by about a day, Mass Effect and a couple of others I can't remember. It's not a hard thing to do.

[AJ]

Just posting to let you all know I got it

I was about 20th in the queue of 200 at ASDA.

Off to play now, will report back tomoz.

[Ruki]

7 hours and I will have it.....8 hours then I can play it.

[King Ellis]

10-11 hours and I will have it.....10-11 hours then I can play it.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I've got the special edition. Very nice.

Very good game actually. Bit more grown up, feels more serious too but still has the comedy tongue in cheek stuff too.

My favourite place to be is definitely...

The Irish pub playing darts...Best minigame for sure...

[King Ellis]

How big is the duffel bag? I mean, do your consoles 5 good games all fit into it?

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Well considering I have a dozen or so games on the console which I feel are top quality titles, they do still fit in the bag yes. If we're looking at the number of top quality exclusive titles to be released in 2008 then I'll be struggling for space but you should be fine. (Y)

Anyway a free bag should come as a blessing for 360 owners as I have £40 more a year that I can spend on a nice new bag.

[King Ellis]

I actually got my Xbox Live for £27. And I got an extra month to boot!
