Zorrro Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Just picked up mine from Tesco on the way to the station. Wish I was working from home today. Can't wait to head on over to Grove Street and pay homage to CJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I've cracked and ordered an xbox last night (via playershare shop & amazon), it is currently in Irlam on route to my office. I ordered GTA 5 with it but I guess they are sending a few out so that hasn't despatched yet. I may pick one up on the way home then take the one from Amazon back to that shop and say "oops, my wife bought me one as well...." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJazzer Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Just picked mine. Took me 20 mins to get the damn ps3 on. Yellow light of death. And it's getting worse! Ok, dog settled in bed, brew next to me. Here goes...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJazzer Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Need to delete loads of data just to play it. Didn't realise I had so much crap stored on there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackey Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I bought NHL14 in the hope it would discourage me from buying this... it's a lot less addictive... but having spent most of the weekend watching videos of people playing (amazon.co.uk shipped early to people in "outlying regions") I think I will just end up with both!

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'd be out on my ear if a bought a games console, but I'm mighty tempted for GTA V. Let me know if it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 The Daily Mash has a good article on it. I don't own a games console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJazzer Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 It's graphically brilliant and appears to have a real plot this time, as opposed to just go kill him, then go there and kill him.... Centred around bank robbing. Have to choose your crew, decide how to do the job etc. as well as the old favourite gta stuff. I'm loving it. I'm such a nerd....

opinions4u Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 What's a cheap price for it? Zavvi on PlayerShare WebShop? http://www.spendandraise.com/xtra/shop/goto.php?rb=3-2549 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Jesus! Setting up an xbox is a bit of a ballache! Add account, address.... then 8GB of loading the game and putting the second disc in. It wasn't like that in my day.... Bought it on the way home and cancelled the amazon one as it hadn't shipped. Yay! Install complete, now lemmeeatttit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footy68 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Can I just take a moment to post a warning. Playing this game will seriously enhance the chances that you'll all become violent gun toting bank robbers. Coupled with car jackers and murderers.

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Good God : Grown men getting excited over a computer game... I can't afford it - in terms of time away from my everyday life - but I don't see it as immature. It's like a TV serial you partially author. And it takes considerably more creative and technical know-how to create than your average telly programme or film or beach book. It's a superior leisure product.

beag_teeets Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Got a couple of hours in eventually last night. I don't think my tactic of avoiding the police is sustainable, drive into the country around the Vinewood sign until the stars stop flashing. I hammered GTA 3 - San Andreas, got 4 for the PC but haven't played it too much so I'm rusty in terms of evading being busted. Also, the little dot that shows where your gun is pointing is a bit small, started to get the hang of the auto targeting and just got to grips with doing drive-bys after several repeat attempts at the mission where you have to nick the bike. Tis fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beag_teeets Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Those of us with GTA5 are the winners, it is a lot of fun! Pacing is good, I'm hooked now, enjoying the missions and enjoying just driving round exploring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beag_teeets Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Do it! On my last save it said 7% I think, I've done about 15 missions, I was driving to get another mission earlier and the Pet SHop Boys - West End Girls came on, I didn't get to the mission point. Like Vice City all over again, sod the game, I've been having ridiculous amounts of fun! I used to be hooked on all gaming, last console I bought was the Wii. I've kept my hand in with PC gaming like Fallout 3/New Vegas, Skyrim but enjoyed Civilisation and FM more. GTA 5 has reminded me how much fun console gaming can be. Just downloaded the demo of Banjo Kazooie, loved that on the N64, bit steep at £9.99 but I'll pay it in a few days. Had a pop at Pro Evo again, think the last one I played was 4, I'm still awful at it but to kill 10 minutes or so it can't be beaten. Might get the 12 or 12 version to get back in the swing for about £15 as the new one is out soon. Just need a Mario Kart or Diddy Kong Racing and I'm set.

I've re-discovered my COD mojo since playing MW3 again recently (hardcore ricochet only, mind), although I do prefer tacticals like the BF series and R6.

Zorrro Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 BF4 on next-gen is going to start bringing the PC gaming mindset to console users. 64 player maps and what-have-you. If done well it should be great. Fingers crossed for 60fps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrro Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 I actually pulled my car over to the side of the road down by Vespucci Beach last night cos Pure Shores came on the radio and it just felt right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
