VertcaLx Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 You guys know how they will have the top "10" or the top "100" to complete the game (I dont know which one it is)? Isn't it a bit unfair for someone that works at Blockbuster for example that gets it on the 25th for example, and beats it around the midnight of 29th? What will R* do?

Niall_S Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I'm sure they'll find a way around it to make it fair for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arhopkins3 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 The stats will only start recording when its released - end of problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VertcaLx Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 The stats will only start recording when its released - end of problem So say stats start 12:00 on the 29th. I'm 90% done with the game, and at 9AM on the 29th, I complete it. Does it count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatunks Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I'm not concerned about it, myself. I know I couldn't be one of the first to beat it, and I'd end up just missing out on the whole game by taking it so quickly. Though, it seems like people in America (espescially California, Hawaii, etc) need not even try. Wouldn't Australians clearly have a big headstart?

Seddo Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) It doesn't matter when you receive the game for the stats. if someone who works at Blockbuster gets the game on the 27th and completes the story in 35 hours or something and then someone gets the game on the 29th and completes it in 33 hours, it will be the latter person who will top the table. Oh and as i write this, i remember that the Social Club doesn't even open until the 29th so you won't be able to link your Xbox Live Gamertags or PSN ID's so you won't make it onto the leaderboard.

Jimex Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 But what happens if the game is delivered to me on the 28th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seddo Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 But what happens if the game is delivered to me on the 28th? Well if the Social Club doesn't open until the 29th then your stats wont get recorded until the Social Club opens and you link to Gamertag or ID to the site.

Herman Gatevold Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I think you'll connect your gamertag to Social Club inside the game. Just like you do with alot of other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurrikane Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 dont give rats ass bout top this or that i didnt wait 4yrs to beat game quikly an unenjoyably for f in stupid list, itll take months 2 beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seddo Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 itll be unfair anyway with australia having a headstart No, no, no. People are getting confused here, no one is going to get a head start. Remember the 'time played' stat in all of the prevoius GTA's, this is what the Social Club will be going by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicFailGuy Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I actually think it's ridiculous for it to be the top 10. GTA games have me for weeks while the other guy who plays it all day is going to have it done in hours. It should be like the top 1000, at most. At least it'll give people a fair chance to win any sort of prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are getting confused here, no one is going to get a head start. Remember the 'time played' stat in all of the prevoius GTA's, this is what the Social Club will be going by. i think there are two different tables. one for shortest time and there's anotherone for who completed it first. im not sure about the first one but there is definately a table for who finishes it first.

GloRy Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 yea I don't trust this whole idea. Lets say someone has it right now and is 90% complete. So he just free roams until the 29th then completes the game full by the 31st. What is gonna stop him for getting his achievements? Hate this idea. Tons of people are gonna be trying to do this but I feel we will all be cheated and have no fair chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right didn't realise there was two leaderboards . In that case it's most probably an Aussie who will complete it first then lol. I'm not two fussed i'm not aiming to get on the leaderboards.

thor1to3for5 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 The Social Club won't open until about 6pm EST on the 29th. All R* have been 6pm EST so I don't expect this one to be any different. So does this mean the stats will reset at 6pm? Half the world already hours into the game and its all reset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
