Folks, should I get this from steam or elsewhere?

Asking in terms of download speeds and whatever is the least hassle.

Well its 60gb vs 7 dvds, depends on your broadband vs your disk swapping skills. I'll be installing my DVDs tonight so I'll let you know how painful it is and if needed some big patch afterwards anyway.

Does bring back fond memory's of Monkey Island 2 and its 11 disks. Hopefully one won't be dead !

Are there new cars compares to the vanilla xbox 360 version. I bought that when it came out and I am trying to work out if my memory is **** or if there are noticeably more varieties of vehicle.

Also, is there an electric car

Had a quick go last night, runs smooth as butter. Tried online and everything runs fine. 21:9 works perfect and game looks pretty

Yea, there are more varieties of vehicle on screen for the PS4 and XBone on screen, can't see how the Master Race wouldn't have that too.

There's always been a selection of electric vehicles: http://gta.wikia.com/Category:Electric_vehicles

The Coil Voltic is the equivalent of a Tesla Roadster, it's fun spinning around with it and having a whirr rather than a roar of sports car engine

Venom

Picked this up in Argos. Only 2 in stock at the time.

7 DVD's :eek:

mgudim

does anyone know where I can download the 5GB patch, its painfully slow (37KB/sec)...

Shiminay

How is this 7 Discs thing coming as a surprise to anyone? It's a 60 GB game...

Modern encryption, decompression algorithms and fcuking voodoo magic man

Sephiroth_dude

7 Discs ? christ lol

Noxin

7 DVDs? Bloody hell. Companies are gonna have to start shipping mini-USB sticks with their games from now on. That's ridiculous.

Am sorely tempted for this. I have it on the PS3... but that's the PS3. My PC would probably love to have it. :P

Kiith

7 dvds? I don't even have a dvd drive anymore :P

Better try and source a good deal on a bazillion floppy disks then mate :pac:

The PC only Editor being put to good use.

GTA V has over 1 million sales on Steam alone according to steamspy.com

Gods below folks, if you can't download 60GB then get proper internets. If you can't get proper internets, either scream at your local politicians or move (which is what I did).

Are you saying they should just...deal with it? :pac:

cherryghost

If anyone out in the sticks is desperate, I can post my HDD around with the steam backup.

Venom

Installed and downloading another 5GB :pac:

I wub my 200MB connection

MayoForSam

I got a Rockstar key last Saturday and the launcher was causing me major issues, my maximum broadband is around 1 Mbps but I was only getting around 15-200 kbps. I tried a few torrents to get the files, gave up and went back to the launcher yesterday.

It's getting there slowly but surely, with a few interruptions that need to be manually re-started. As I'm at work, I set up Teamviewer on my phone so I could log in to my PC at home. That ended up burning through my monthly phone data allowance :rolleyes:.

Looks like I only have 5 GB to go, fingers crossed...

Noxin

Said to myself I'd hold off buying this - Stupidly today I watched a bunch of vids on Utoob... Now I'm kicking myself for not pre-ordering for some easy starter cash.
Guess I'll just have to hop online rek $hit for a while.

As someone who has not watched any videos, and has no idea how the cash system works - does multiplayer cash gains effect single player?

Kiith

Nope, they are completely separate.

Gonna spend a few hours tonight just trying to get used to the first person camera. Might give the first Heist a go as well if anyone fancies joining me (lvl12 minimum i think).

Is there any major difference between ordering from Green Man or Steam? I was going to hold off until it was cheaper because I have finished it on PS3, but it looks so damn good.

Korvanica

Just bought it, how long on average is it taking people to download from the Rockstar Servers ?

Green Mans version is unlocked using the Rockstar Social Club, steam uses steam (obviously). If you are buying on Greenman use SAVE22-OVERHO-LIDAYS to make it €46.80.

on a hundred meg line last night, about an hour and the unpacking and decryption took longer about 2.5 hours in total before i got to see anything ingame

Nollog

I had this last night.


I hope it's fixed when I get home.

Noxin

hah, tried to buy it on steam and get an error that they cannot complete my purchase. Boooooo...urns!

I had it too, I just relaunched a few times and it worked. No such issues playing this morning.

wotzgoingon

This just proves how bad my internet is. When I enter a race the countdown 3-2-1-go, all the other players leave on 3. I'm stuck till go and they are miles ahead of me. Sometimes i would catch up and crash into a invisible player as the car would just appear in front of me at last second. Is this happening anyone else?

dreamers75

Does Join Game workin Steam?

Noxin

never mind. Purchase just went through.

Now just to wait for that itty bitty download - eta 2 hours.

dreamers75

Join Game works and my Ps3 Character trasnfered over

Squaredude

Rockstar comped me $3 million for losing my vehicles when I transferred my character. All I wanted was my Adder back

d/l'ing this through Social Club and it really is poor, sometimes lower then 100kb, sometimes it loses connection with the server! Top speed so far after 32gb is around 3mb on a 240mb connection

Just downloaded the updates and it tells me there is an error and to try again. Hope this isn't region locked, anyone buy it from Brazil and got it to work? Have to d/l the updates again ffs

Taylor365

VR hack is in progress.

Think there is a stream on tonight of someone attempting to play it using new vorpx injectors.

I'd say in a months time it will be ripe

I got mine on Nuuvem and it seems to be working fine btw

Noxin

Downloaded and installed. Total time: 1hr 10 min. Not at all bad

Steam ftw!

Venom

Just played the up to the second mission. Man this game looks good. Watchdogs ain't a patch on it.

omerin

Getting the Code 1 error again after creating a new Windows account, having said that the account I had originally used was created using my initials.
I thought it would be difficult to f**k a game up as much as Dice, but these f**kers are doing a good job so far. What bunch of chimps can't get a fundamental part of the installation right, its not like they rushed the game out. Absolute gob****es

Noxin

Jesus driving is very different. Trying to control the camera while driving will take some getting used to.

The_Valeyard

It seems lot of people have having awful problems even starting the game,

double click on the icon in Steam, and Nada, nothing, zip.

So much for the smooth launch.

Non-steam install here but you do need to make sure the social club launcher is set to run as admin.

humanji

Oh the irony! I've a dodgy internet connection so decided to get a physical copy only to find I've to download a 5gb day one patch that according to the downloader is going to take 19 hours. Awesome stuff.

Noxin

Anyone else stutter in the menu / map?

Hi I was having the exact same problems and did the exact steps. Manage to fix it by right clicking the downloader launch icon and run it as administrator
