  • awesome! if any game deserves extra attention it's this one, keen to hear what you guys thought
  • How did the protagonist seem? Were they as likable as CJ, Tommy Vercetti or even a Niko Bellic?


    I'm hoping this game has some Breaking Bad levels of intensity and writing because each Rstar game has been influenced by movies and tv shows so far.



    Edit: Listening to you guys describe Michael I can see that it does have that AMC tv show quality. I love well written characters in crime stories, I hope the actual game is good but who am I kidding of course it is. Its Rockstar.
  • Not fair. I want to plaaaaaaaaay
  • no pc = no buy, the pc version of 4 was so much better that me and my friends can not even play the 360 version anymore because it is so boring
  • You guys should've worn contact lenses that doubled as cameras!!!!! Seriously though, why didn't you wear contacts lens cameras?

  • I would be surprised if GTAV didn't have a PC version months after the console versions come out.
  • I got my hopes up because I thought that we would get a playable demo. :(

  • GTA 5 is coming.
  • talk about the gameplay!! not what happened, we've read that!!
  • Did they tell you what the demo was running on?!?!? I am very scared for the framerate when it is this huge and looks this good!!
