Is there much spoilers in them?

Got as far as the second line on ign before a minor spoiler, quit reading after that.

The Hookey Monster was on newstalk there wondering what the game will do to our children. Probably murder them all George.

With the Gamesnash orders does someone have to sign or will the postman just jam it through the letter box. Come on jamming the box (heh) since I won't be there.

If you went for express post then no need for someone to be home.

If you went for registered then it will require a signature.

Ya, I did a quick scroll and saw 2 different lines where he mentions stuff I would definitely want to experience 1st time in the game. I recommend avoiding the IGN review.

The envelopes seen in the link Sheehy posted earlier look as if they may not fit in a letterbox, certainly not in mine. The postman has to bend birthday cards in mine.

But since Im off with a fractured wrist (healed enough for playing xbox) I'll be home to get it.

I'm all set then, since I don't play GTA for its political or feminist progressiveness.

2 out of three reviews I have read were by women. Doesn't matter a bit just thought it was interesting. Kezza from IGN and Carolyn from Gamespot. Two of them mentioned a particularly troubling scene in the game taht they felt was way too much. It obviously put Carolyn off quite a bit as the score took a hit.

Won't go active until very late tonight. We're outside the usual post network and ours only go onto the system when they get checked into the central mail processing centre later tonight.

Maximus Alexander

The thing about GTA is that it is completely tongue in cheek and takes the piss out of every possible group based on gender, race, religion, nationality, age, profession, political stance, etc. Nobody is safe, and as such it is pointless to be insulted by it.

Sure they give the Irish a rotten time, but they do the same for every other nationality, so I'm not in the slightest bit bothered by it.

That said, if they were going to have three protagonists I'm a little surprised they didn't make one of them female.

Thats it, not looking at any more reviews. 2nd one I looked at jumped straight into something Trevor does. CVG has a big 50 minute gameplay demo but not a chance I'm looking at it.

listermint

Why would anyone read reviews today of all days.

They are going to have content in them that you dont want to see.

Its because it was done by IGN UK. I dont mind UK accents but the people they have are jsut people that have voice that shouldn't be recorded

Zero-Cool

threading a thin line of wanting to know about gta v but not wanting to know any details :pac:

Blackout now for the night.

I shouldve kept my GS preorder, Dying to play this asap!

Dominos is going to be busy tonight and tomorrow

Icyseanfitz

Haven't read the reviews but did the gs one dock it for being nasty towards women?..... If so that's not really a surprise is it, she does the same with every review.

Also it's gta ffs, political correctness has no right being anywhere near it!

CiDeRmAn

I was just in Harvey Norman in Swords and they haven't got their delivery in.
I made an inquiry to make sure my deposit was going to be honoured and they assured me it would be.
I have some "experience" of managers in a particular store I worked in giving the stuff in most demand to the people they know then making apologies to the people with preorders, hope that won't happen with my collectors edition.
I won't be able to get to the shop until tomorrow afternoon.

It's a game about criminals, these are not characters who are sensitive to anyones needs bar their own.
Plus, how you play the game is a reflection of the player, just because a game facilitates mass murder, like GTA, doesn't mean you have to play it that way unlike, say, Uncharted or Call of Duty which demand that you slaughter every enemy in your path in order to proceed.

Just watched the ign video review... holy crap... this looks epic.

All is good lads - dispatch emails will be hitting you later this evening but we're all packed here and waiting for the relevant collections.

Sorry I wasn't around updating earlier - it's been manic here.

Oh jesus my heart sunk into me boxers!

Maximus Alexander

For people who have played this or watched gameplay videos, does it look as good graphically as it did in the promotional videos? Is it as detailed? Is the draw distance as high?

Varik

Installed the PS3 theme just there and it won't even let me use that yet.

Anyone know if you need the Internet on the PS3 to get the game up and running with the first install ? I've just moved home and haven't the broadband set up so my PS3 hasn't been updated in a few months,

I'm absolutely bricking it that I'll need it and won't get a chance to play it!!

krudler

Few non spoilery review quotes:

the missions are frequently incredible

No shortage of the spectacular...

The attention to detail in GTA V is likely unparalleled in any other video game.

Eeeeeee

Savage Tyrant

Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

After the nightmare of my disc drive failing.... My 18gb download for the game from PSN, which took 20 hours, failed to install. Some error about corrupted data.
Jesus fûcking Christ. The gaming Gods don't want me to play this game.

Knowing my PS3 and any new game ive bought. There is very little chance of it working on an no updated PS3. Thats one of my gripes with the console.

I think you will need whatever upgrades they have out first before you can play. so make plans for that first.
