Got it today. I had lots of fun with it. Looking forward to playing it tomorrow as well.
I think that people who care about GTA games care quite a lot about V, but people who don't probably don't.
Pretty much!
I've played every GTA game except San Andreas, and no, I don't really give two trouts about GTAV. GTAIV was tedious.
Hohoho that is one heck of a statement. I would rank VC as the best.
My housemate bought V today and I had a go for an hour or 2. First my fears came true with killing a lot of mindless enemies, a big bulk of rubber banding, and psychic markers letting you know where stuff is because who knows what will happen if we don't have a visual reference of where to find every single thing. But anyway I had fun exploring the world and driving myself off cliffs and getting shot by spoilertanks.
San Andreas was great and all, but I've always preferred Vice City. It's a much tighter and more focused experience and doesn't lose its momentum two thirds of the way through.
I actually liked IV and did play San Andreas, but just can't get into this one. So that's. ..kind. ... of 3 of us.
I agree with Vice City being the zenith. San Andreas had a ridiculous amount of content but it lost some of the pastiche-iness that made III and VC so good.
I've played III, VC, and SA... owned. I also played a bit of IV despite not owning a system of my own to play it on. I'm tired of sandbox games with no real point. I'm more interested in Sleeping Dogs, but I'm not going to go out and buy a system for that either.
Sleeping Dogs doesn't really require a monster rig. I don't know what kind of PC you have, but if it has a modestly decent Intel graphics card it may be possible (seems plausible anyway) to play it without having to own a 360 or PS3. It's frequently on sale on Steam as well
I absolutely loved Vice City but I dunno, the absolute freedom of San Andreas was the high point for me, when you consider what a relatively tiny area Vice City was. Plus, no swimming or planes! Still, VC was still a 10/10 game. Now, GTA IV was not in any way bad, but a lot more constrained, both in terms of freedom of missions (this guy is invulnerable and does 90 degree turns at 100mph until he crashes into our set piece bus, fun right?) and outside of them. The DLC episodes fixed some of my complaints though and were a lot better.
Anyway, I finally have this. smurf yeah. It looks absolutely gorgeous and the huge size of the thing blows my mind. Plus, animals! Animals in a GTA game!
