Grand Theft Auto V

Went home at lunch just to see if it had arrived. And it had!!!!!!

Now I'm back at work wishing I was at home playing it.
(Tesco btw)

I've seen the video before Scutch, and understand the issues stem from the fact that if you install both the mandatory disc and 'play' disc to the HD then the game is reading data (for different in game parts) from the same source causing the lag issues.

What I am curious about though is do you still get these lag issues from playing via the disc only? (like previous GTA's)
If so, it seems a potential solution to play via a fast USB Drive as illustrated in the video. Just curious how everybody has chosen to play it, 16:30 can't come soon enough!

Yeah I also thought the disc play would have caused problems. I have a USB but TBH for what it's worth to the naked eye I doubt playing from the disc will cause too much of a problem for anyone.

Looking at the videos I doubt very much I would even notice the issues mentioned playing from the disc or the HDD.

This afternoon is going to drag so much.

I'll be playing it off the disk, no USB business.
Can't even tell the difference!

Pistachio · Sep 17, 2013

In all gta's I've only ever played the missions up to the point where all the islands are unlocked. Then I cba doing the missions and prefer just messing about

Clart · Sep 17, 2013

i'm tempted to install to a memory stick tbh. After the incident with F1 2011 and my kids deciding to play air hockey with the disc.

This!

And the missions are the best bit. Messing around soon gets boring, Italy be different with 5 though

Silent_Scone · Sep 17, 2013

lol @ Cookie's post lady not being able to lift the bags.

Needs sacking. LOL see what I did there...

I'm half and half. I'll no doubt get b**ched at if I rock indoors and turn on the playstation. Tough s**t TBH

Agreed.

it's a non issue been blown way out of proportion TBH

Scutch · Sep 17, 2013

May 2011 this thread was started, with rumours of an early 2012 release. Here we are in Q3/Q4 of 2013

Flat Eric · Sep 17, 2013

My plans for GTA V...

Equip a hand gun, walk out into the streets and shoot as many people as I can. When the cops show up carjack someone and go top speed till I lose them. Ditch the car and jack a new fancy one to pick up a hooker and once she sucks me off beat her to death, steal her cash and go get high and ride bikes. After all that go to Tesco, pick up the game and go home to play it.

Pistachio · Sep 17, 2013

So you didn't notice all the items missing and the girl floating on the beach? Looked pretty obvious to me

Euan94 · Sep 17, 2013

Not sure if it was worse when I didn't know if it had arrived, or now that I know it's at home and I can't play it.

This will be a long afternoon at work.

mr bognor · Sep 17, 2013

Got it from the G/F so not sure my old one had no hard drive lol .

So you need 7.8 GB hard drive to play the game ?

Alan

Scutch said:
I don't know what size hard drive your machine is mate. The 360 comes in all sorts of sizes, HD wise. Some have only 4GB.

When did you buy it?

Silent_Scone · Sep 17, 2013

GTA V comes out today IIRC correctly.

I'd say 8GB in total to compensate for save files etc. The HD will probably be adequate but you could do with loading the console up, going to system settings and check available space prior to buying this game.

In summary: Best to run it off the disc.

Mr Burns · Sep 17, 2013

Got mine, off home to play it now

See you all in a few weeks!

lol why? Like there's anything more important worth saving over this.

Scutch · Sep 17, 2013

You can also take photos with the in-game camera, and selfies! LOL.

We so need a separate thread for those. Especially Trevor infront of people he's murdered.

Michael here at Rex's Diner

Rob · Sep 17, 2013

If the HD isn't adequate he can just plug in a 16GB usb stick right?

Scutch · Sep 17, 2013

I meant the save files for this game.

Yes he can, but TBH he doesn't seem too clued up on things so just trying to help the best we can.

Pistachio · Sep 17, 2013

Lol the amount of times in IV where I was driving at full speed down an empty, blurry road, then a building would render in front of you and you'd go flying through the windscreen.

OH! Can you wear seatbelts in V?

dk · Sep 17, 2013

ok, this is the video game version of breaking bad, incredible in every way.

the level of detail is utterly astounding, get out of a car when you've been ragging it and you can hear the engine and exhaust cooling ticking as they cool down.

just stole a truck with piswasser pils beer on the side lol.

the vehicles are amazing, the driving is a lot better than previous games.

the only thing I'm stuck on is how to swim up when you are in water, and once i get to the top of the cable car and grab the parachute, how do i deploy it?

best lunch hour ever.

I don't often FLOL in text form, but FLOL @ reading that and reading prostitute instead of parachute.

Silent_Scone · Sep 17, 2013

lol that in game camera thing could make for some some proper funnies.

Definitely. Even just imagining some of the situations is great.

It was good enough taking pictures of funny things in Skyrim, but this will be on another level with selfies.

Silent_Scone · Sep 17, 2013

Lunch hour. f**k me are people really going home for their lunch just to play this lol

Laine_16v · Sep 17, 2013

Just bought the game, only got 5.7Gb left on the HDD, FAIL lol. Time to rob a HDD from a mate! Cant wait to get stuck in

mr bognor · Sep 17, 2013

Game on its way LOL

So I need to find 8 GB

In fairness I went home to check it had arrived. Still in its wrapper though for when I get home, along with the guide book. I've got the kids tonight as well, so won't be on it until after 7.

There's going to be wifes/girlfriends all over the land getting put through by other blokes because of this game & that there man isn't a real one.

I'd certainly boot your machine up mate and go into the system settings just to check you've got a bigger HD than the 4GB ones that are kicking about still.

MarkCup · Sep 17, 2013

I just as good as gave away a spare 120gb 360 HDD on eBay...posting it out today!

My copy's at home, ordered it Sunday, thanks Tesco.
