Not wanting to know the map is understandable.

Upset because you sat there staring at lines for longer than 10 seconds? That's on you.

Let's all just mellow out, ok bros?

only after doing it for months. good on you.

I looked at it for a second and instantly saw a bunch of coloured lines pointing to various spots on the map. You don't have to stare at something for longer than a second to get the basic idea of what it is.

Savior is right, we should all mellow out. Group hug!

Better late than never.

But you don't know what they were.

They could have been anything. They could have been nothing! You don't know!

But you're right, let's drop it.

Let's focus on our first mission which will be a $100 million heist.

Or perhaps split it up and do $50 mil on XBox and $50 mil on PS3. Hmmmm

I wonder why the Hierarchy doesn't have 2 branches one for Xbox one for PS3. Unless maybe I missed something one the site.

RoXer are you getting it on PS3 or 360? I will be on PS3 which makes me worry we won't get to play together. :(

I'll be getting 360 but I might try and pick up a used PS3 version before the end of the year (just for you :kiss:)

I've pre-ordered (for X-box 360), as I've loved GTA since the start (but played GTA 4 for all of about 5 mins, going bowling put me off it and I'd got Fallout 3 at the same time) but I'm prepared for it to be a disappointing experience like Red Dead Redemption. I've not read any of the build-up to it so I don't find myself getting annoyed by too many of the stupid gimmicks they've brought it in to make the world as big and as realistic as possible.

GTA V sounds like it's more like San Andreas and it addresses a lot of the problems people had with GTA IV. So, if you liked SA, you'll probably be fine in GTA V, if previews etc are anything to go by.

I never finished San Andreas but it was a very good game. The crowbarred in RPG stuff was stupid though.

Everything up to and including Vice City was fantastic.

GTA V has stats like SA but it's not as big a deal, I don't think. You don't get fat or ripped or need to eat.
Each of the 3 characters has their own stats so one is better at driving that the other two etc. You can improve them, though.

So wait...I went to check and see if Roxer actually unspoilered it after I spoilered it.

Did he unspoiler then respoiler my map post?

:lol:

although a lot of people wanted to see those return for some reason.

People just wanted San Andreas HD.

General:
- The aim of GTA Online is to do whatever it takes to get more money in the bank and accrue assets such as cars and real estate.
- Almost all activities from the campaign are available in GTA online: "heists, missions, robberies, assaulting gang hideouts, hijacking armored vehicles, races" as well as "tennis, golf and base jumping."
- GTA Online has been created to be "as customisable as possible" in terms of who you play with: "there are options to let the game decide who to play with... or you can hand pick every player in the game".
- Purchases can still be made using the money even if it's in the bank.
- Each house you pruchase has space for storing cars. Modest appartments have space for two, but high-end homes can store ten.
- Garage areas can be treated like showrooms. You can walk around and admire your cars and hire a mechanic to keep them in good condition. You can also insure them to avoid big payouts should you damage them badly.
- Phone cameras can be used to take a selfie.

Character:
- The fourth [GTA Online] player is fresh off a plane in Los Santos, character creation involves choosing your mother, father and grandparents and you're given a character. Then players then choose a lifestyle, make choices about the things the character does (partying, couch potato, criminal, athletics nut).
- Characters appear in cutscenes when interacting with other characters in the world as they would in the single-player but doesn't speak.
- Female characters can be used in GTA Online.
- Starting skills are based on the chosen lifestyles, but can be upgraded, as can the look of the character.
- Holding the Select/Back button pulls up a menu where outfits and gestures can be changed.

Story:
- GTA Online takes place after the main story, familiar faces will make appearances By currying favour of characters you can be introduced to more people and delve deeper into the criminal world.
- Franklin's friend Lamar may introduce you to a car dealer named Simeon Yetarian, who wants you to steal cars for him.
- A tech-savvy character you've befriended may hide you on the radar during multiplayer.
- Security firms that have taken a liking to you may be used to deliver airstrikes.
- Biker gangs may support you during missions if you're friendly with them.

Missions:
- After each GTA Online mission the crew leader decides who keeps the loot.
- A leader can choose to hog the spoils but, obviously, other players might not take that very well.
- In missions involving bigger teams a lobby window opens up. From this the roles such as sniper, look-out and transporter can be assigned.
- The crew leader can tweak settings such as time of day, weather, difficulty and how many lives they have to complete the mission.
- Everyone is given priorities suited to their role when missions begin.
- Some missions involve multiple phases, including a set-up phase. In the mission shown prep involved buying guns from Ammu-Nation and procuring a helicopter. The tasks can be split between players.
- When you have enough cash to purchase a "high end residency" you gain the ability to set up heists like the ones in the solo campaign.
- Missions are controlled through Rockstar's Social Club, which means the developer will be able to tweak them regularly.

Multiplayer:
- There's a crew ranking system [as well as a personal rank.]
- Players riding shotgun in cars can control radio stations, set waypoints, use a cinematic camera, or attack others.
- Passive mode can be activated if you want to enjoy Online without being troubled by other players, this is automatically deactivated when you fire your gun however.
- You can invite friends to your home and drink, call strippers, and watch Rockstar's custom created TV shows (or your friends in high-speed chases).

omg spoilers. I did not want to know that Rockstar's Social Club would be integrated into the game.

Hilarious.

Like the "phase" idea. Will have to see how it pans out, but....

Mostly what we already have seen in this thread, but I don't know what shuold be spoilered anymore, so spoilers ahead.

Yo Drak, head to the Walking Dead Season 4 thread to see what real asshole spoiling is.

That sucks. Assuming the spoiler was the comic book. I don't watch WD so I don't know if the show and the comic run togethor or if they are seperate stories etc.

Something weird but good is happening with my GTAV CE preorder. Everytime I check it out, the price has gone down. It was supposed to be well over £100 (I've seen the US price is $150 so I guess whatever that is in £'s) but then went down to £100, then £95 and now it's at £89.52. No clue why it's apparantly free falling but I'm not complaining. GTA V, all the extras that come with the Collectors Edition and the blimp for well below the RRP.

I very rarely touch the multiplayer side of games now a days, but I can see ploughing a good amount of time into this one.

www.lifeinvader.com is up. Sign in with your R* account and "stalk" a post by Los Santos customs for a free paint job. I'm assuming that you'll actually get that free paint job in the game.

Also a bunch of cool screens like this customised car:

GifOfDogsHumpingThatEveryFuckingSiteHasAndICan'tAvoid.gif

Worth noting the site could contain spoilers if you don't want to know of certain characters or special vehicles.

Stalking pretty much every page gets you a free something ingame or a discount.

Now I wonder if we can actually create lifeinvader pages and post our in-game self-shots in there.

In fact I'd be surprised if we couldn't.

Would make sense. You click your username and get your R* page but coloured red like LI. Given we can take selfshots with our phone and R* said in the past you can upload photos you take ingame, I'm guessing they'll give us a profile for our online character in October.

So I can kill Kalyx then switch over to passive mode...sweet.

Buy it at a premium to get it ever-so-slightly earlier. This should be funny.

If I was rockstar I'd sell the Game for 200$ on the 15th + 16th. I'm sure some insane people would would buy it

Only reason I'm posting this GIF as a spoiler is due to FAngry getting emotional when GTA 4 came out and I mentioned you could drink-drive.

Spoilers aren't a bad thing.

Lots of spoilers from the guide, but the first lot of pics shows all the cars as well.: http://imgur.com/a/v65rG

Guide to strippers:

What is that stripper bullshit. Also it's not vaguely realistic in my limited stripper experience.

If you want to avoid Fangerl's outbursts, you'd have to spoil everything.

For one thing, your strippers generally have penises.
