(10 at Gamespot) Official GTA thread - Keep it here or face SUSPENSION!

Welcome to Liberty City: "Where the American Dream goes to die."

For those people I have dedicated my UCB as a discussion point for all stickied topics on system wars, and system wars styl.e posting is allowed. Post and argue all GTA related issues here, to your hearts content.

Hmmm, I'm gonna miss the other thread, it was epic. Anyways, my copy should be arriving tomorrow, otherwise Amazon.co.uk shall feel my wrath!Floppy_Jim

But a little unweidly, no?

Ordered mine off of Play.com. Luckily/unluckily, I am leaving the country on the 29th and will be back on the 7th, so hopefully, by then, it will have arrived at my house :)

Yup, it caused a glitch with my browser for some reason where, if I needed to get to the latest page, like after I posted, it normally takes me to that post, or if I click last page in main forum page, it always took me to the second to last page.... weird......

Yeah, the other thread was getting a bit large. I hope we'll be seeing the GS review soon too, seeing as we have most other major online publications verdicts.

Yeah for some reason big threads seem to always do that, only one I have ever known not to was the smash bros thread and that was because not one single post got deleted in the whole 5k post thread.

They won't have it til the game comes out. They don't do exclusive reviews (as in, recieving a special copy beforehand).

They often get special copies before hand but they have very strict review policy which is why often there reviews come out after other sites.

From speaking to different editors this is what I have gathered;

- They will not tell publishers review scores before publish them on the website

- They will not review non final retail copy

- If a game has a major multiplayer component they will not review it untill they have tested it extensively (often requiring the game to come out)

- They will only review games on their machines at their offices.

Picking mine up tomorrow around 3 central time, and donwoogie, that error message, "you cannot play this game at the current video output setting." Is this the error caused by turning off the system during a firmware update?

Shall I create a poll?

"Which version are you getting?

360 version

PS3 version"

Yes, I'd like to see which console will have the "biggest" version of what is considered by some to be the biggest game of the year.

Shall I create a poll?

"Which version are you getting?

360 version

PS3 version"

cakeorrdeath

yeah, good idea

Well its 11 hours until im buying GTA IV.

Sure I could have gone to the midnight launch in two hours time - from now, but meh i'd rather save $20 (AUD)

PS3 version.

reasons:

-less jaggies

-like the colors more

-faster load times

-less pop in

-friends with just a PS3... so i want to play with them.

But both versions will be the best game you ever played i think. I have never been more impressed with a game i think.

Rockstar really delivered a true master piece. it's an achievement of out of this world proportions.

might still but the 360 version second hand if the DLC turns out to be irresistable

:lol: Cakeordeath GTA style for TVB, first lock the thread, post new one, steal the thread and put my name on it. :lol:

Good job Cake.

Does anyone know if this error is just rare occurrence, or widespread? "You cannot play this game at the current video output setting (80028F10)"bleehum

It happened to me and two of my friends, I don't think it is rare but I hope NA version is not going to get that error.

Wouldnt you rather enjoy the game instead of needless arguing over pixels?

Lucky! Mine should be dispatching today but amazon.co.uk haven't confirmed it yet. Then again my Dual Shock 3 arrived today without any e-mail confirmation, so I'm feeling a little impatient.

Hmm, new thread that is made of TheVeryBest but by Cake. I have to consider the universal ramifications of such a happening. :?

Also, GTAIV, tomorrow!

OMG.

LordoftheVacas

both have jaggies. some people just don't know what they are or they have a screen so small they can't see them.

i trust ign by the way. and they said the version are both great and the differences are minimal. Not just IGn by the way... more sites...

kotaku says they are on par in alias issues. not more jaggies on PS3. so you made that up.

there is a comparisson video on ign and they sound real honest to me..

you however sound like a fanboy

Today will drag so bad. :cry: 15 hours and 10 minutes to go!!!dhjohns

And, with no internet, I can't spoil myself on things. :P

I've done really good. Haven't watched any videos and won't do it today. I must stay strong. :P

Gamespot's review is so late.konichiwa21

On the next note, tonight is going to be so good. Game midnight opening ftw!!!
