I almost gave up on trying to finish the storyline so many times in San Andreas. Fucking races, but mostly I loathed the fucking helicopter training missions, and that "The Green Goo" mission or w/e it was called was pretty annoying, as was the one where Carl and Big Smoke (?) go to Unity Station, chase a train down the tracks and I think you had to toss boxes to Smoke until you got X amount, all while keeping yourself and Smoke protected from dying by the hands of the Ballas.

Granted, I'd be more hyped if GTAO was available at launch....
...And I'm not standing in line to get this at midnight, but if people really want it that bad, who does it hurt? Mine'll come when it comes. Probably Tuesday, since I ordered through Amazon, but I'm not losing any sleep. Still, I'm more excited for this than I have been for a game in a while, so I can get the hype. |

Just checked my Amazon order for the CE and it's finally dispatching. Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow given it's being dispatched so early.

I bet GTAO doesn't have playable Hungry Hungry Hippos or other kids games. 2/10 wouldn't rent.

I am going to buy this game LOCALLY at a LOCAL store, to help my LOCAL economy.
(That's 3 "Local"s) |

I don't have a local game store. The closest I have is a Wal-Mart a couple towns over. And a Gamestop in the same town.
Plus, fuck the local economy. What did it ever do for me? |

Got in 22 hours over the weekend and it looks like I'm heading towards the end now, unless there's a big swerve. GTA IV was my favourite of all of them in terms of gameplay mechanics, but the story was a little dry. This one ramps up that aspect majorly and it is fantastic.
Should be able to get in another few hours tonight, see if it does finish or not. Done most of the side missions that are labelled on the map (called Freaks & Strangers in this), but other than a few rounds of golf, done very little else. Golf is great, tennis is a bit too stiff to be fun. |

Oh yeah, it's great. It gets a pass for a combat as it always bloody does just because everything else feels so right. Love running up to someone and punching them in a one-hit KO. The TV shows are amazing (look out for one called Impotent Rage especially) and the amount of crazy things that can happen make me laugh so hard. Harder than even Saints Row, because it's completely unexpected when it does happen.
Hell, it's worth it just to switch to Trevor. These are the things that I can remember off the top of my head that were happening when I switched to him: SPOILER: show |

"I can imagine, 200 years from now, like our reading of Dickens, the game will be regarded as a catalog of our contemporary travails, an accelerated reality bearing more truth than just gazing at our own reflection." - Adam Sessler on GTAV

So aside from getting a "pass," how is the combat? Please tell me it's better than IV. It looks better than IV. |

Oh yeah, I don't know if it was mentioned in any of the info dumps, but if you fail a mission section 3 times, you can skip it.
I've only done this once. Attempting to land a plane put me back 10 minutes and it wasn't very fun trying, so I just wet 'fuck this' and divebombed twice. |

The Escapist's Greg Tito gave it 3.5/5. His arguments for the score seem sound, but they mostly revolve around shit I don't give a shit about, like the protagonists being scumbags. Saints Row 2 is still my favourite sandbox game to date (I never played San Andreas, so I can't compare them), and that game sets you up as a major psychopath.

Are you sure it isn't dust on the inside causing over heating issues?
