There where so many people on the plaza cars no longer fit in the parking lot. People are parking behind it and shit. There where hundreds.

( fyi.... we just got our copy )

I just got mine! installing now...

Well I'm leaving to go get my copy and I can't decide between 360 or PS3.  I think that it will end up being 360 purely because the triggers on the PS3 make me want to kill myself and I am sure I will be pressing the triggers a lot in this game.

The PS3 version has faster load time and virtually no popup (the 360 version is good about popup but every once in a while a tree magically appears).  However, the 360 version is getting two exclusive bonus story episodes.

Man I just found out that because of Aussies stupid no R18 rating Take Two decided to stop people importing from New Zealand and give us the censored version to.. FUCK! damn Australian rating system!

Oh yeah you guys want me to put all your gamer tags in the first post or is their going to be a new topic?

Ugh, I'm so used to the driving from the other games that this just feels awkward. I really wish they'd stuck with the traditional x to accelerate square to brake system.

Damn you triggers... you've caused the death of many civilians.

Also there's SO MUCH TALKING. The cut scenes go on so long and even once you're driving, the passenger/person on the phone NEVER SHUTS UP. It's hard to concentrate on both.

Here we are standing next to people holding glocks in their pants and shit.... mingling with the beardfaces that where also in line. It was a pretty stange scene.

ahahahaha this is what my dad said too (he went and waited for it for me because he is a bigger fan than I am and is really willing to wait in lines)

he phoned me up while waiting and said I THINK I'M GOING TO BE CAUGHT IN A SHITSTORM OF PISTOLS AND LIGHT SABRES

What does the censored version remove, out of interest?

Australia is in dire need of an R18 rating for games.

yawn

i wonder if this game is ACTUALLY gta 4 or just GTA 3.75

it'd be neat if rockstar actually put effort into a game for a change and made an experience where it takes more than 20 minutes of dicking around to pretty much experience everything the game has to offer, sans that one rare ROCKET LAUNCHER or HELICOPTER or HOUSE that you play 50 hours to get. at this point i would be pleasantly surprised if they made a game where it takes 35 OR EVEN 40 MINUTES to fully experience their game

Goddamn it, I went out and bought this this morning at like 10 or so, but I don't get home from uni until 4 or something. Gay beyond belief. ;(

I'll be picking this up for ps3 in the morning, since the only guy I really care about playing online with doesn't own an xbox.

INSTALLING

did it come out for the pc, too?

ps3 version installs the game to the harddrive to speed things up

now there's internet, meta-fiction (broadway plays and television), and multiplayer meaning possibly 60 minutes of play time.

Also dating through the internet, play around with the new Euphoria physics engine, if you don't know what that is check this video out..


Also the amazing AI interaction between each other, read this one part in the IGN review where some guy was looking at a chick in his car and smacked into this girls car at a red light, he got out of the car to check if she was alright!?

Added the the two people who actually gave out their Online IDs to the first post, anyone else want to be added  then post your IDs in Bold so I can see them easier and what platform.

So guys I have this game and it's not bad.  It's definitely not the best game ever made (Metacritic told me it was ) but it's so much better than every other GTA game it's ridiculous.  I think my favorite part about the game is that the main character is one of the least attractive people I have ever seen in a video game.
