Midnight Launch

[double071990]

when are you getting gta 5

[Eliston]

I will be waiting until the price drops from $60 to $30. Even if it is a GTA game, I hardly ever buy games for $60.

[Josh410]

Oh god I wish I could go to the midnight, but I have to be in school because my parents are strict which I understand. So I'll be waiting until that Thursday to get it.

 

BTW you won't see me on these forums that week just to be sure to not see any leaks

[TheGodDamnMaster]

Unfortunately, the delay screwed up my plans for buying the game. I'll be at university when the game launches, so I'll have to buy it from the Rockstar Warehouse.

Its' OK, you can still hit the midnight launch when they move the release date to Spring Break 2014

Afraid it doesn't work that way pal. You have to be here since I am ripping all vacation requests into pieces. No f*cking breaks for anyone.

 

By the way, I'm going to send my Girlfriend over to Wal-Mart to buy it for me along with a 12 pack of beer and a sandwich because that's how I f*cking roll.

If she's got your credit card, she might make an expensive stop at Macy's on the way there. Hopefully there will still be enough left on the card after that, for GTAV, a 12-pack and a sandwich.

I've pre-ordered and everything, but I don't think I will be going out at midnight to pick it up the minute that GTA V is released - I'm not that dedicated or determined . I'll no doubt pick it up at some time during the day of release (most likely after work), though.

[Kifflom112]

Probably not until Thanksgiving Break 2013. I will not have time to really play it play until then. Rockstar's new release date has f*cked everything up which is why I'm still not quite accepting this delay.

[Johan]

Unless it's digital on PSN I won't be getting it 'till after school, there's no way I'm going to miss school during September just for a game.

[Vanzant]

Well, I'll tell you guys this. I'm not going to no f*cking midnight thing. I work day shift hours. Some would think a Forum Leader would need the game as early as anyone else, so I have a plan for that. Ryan. We will make Ryan stand outside in the cold for it. He is Canadian. He's used to the cold. Who's with me here? Hell we could even do like some sort of donation.

[Miss Darko]

Well, unfortunately it's too far away at this point for me to really plan ahead. I mean, who knows what might happen? I guess I could put it this way: I'm not really determined about it. I've never bought a game during midnight release at a game store before, and I've only gotten a game on release day once. So, this would be a first for me if I did that... which makes it unlikely. Doesn't really seem like a great experience, anyways, waiting in line like that. I go to midnight releases for films fairly often, but the experience benefits from that because it usually means that the audience is as excited for the film as you are, which usually makes the viewing experience more fun. I can't really see that translating to the midnight release experience with GTA V, because it's not like I'm playing the game with them.

 

And of course if I have school later on in the 17th (and it's a Tuesday, so that's fairly likely) I won't want to be all tired when I'm going to school because I played GTA V all night. I'll be living in a different place with different people by then, too, so there's really no knowing what other obligations I might take on before then. It's probably one of the most disappointing aspects of the delay- I was kind of hoping to have GTA V in my hands before all these changes happen and I have to start school again, but oh well.

[Diesleman]

I'm going to make sure I have an ounce of weed the day it releases, and I won't see my friends for a week, unless by chance they wana come play, but there not really into it that much. The only thing il do is go to futsal on Wednesday night and school obviously, because I can't afford to just take days off. But yeah. I sure will enjoy myself when this thing finally drops.

[JaggySnake]

i preordered mine on amazon so it'll be delivered right to my door. gonna make sure the whole day is free. my post usually arrives around 11AM. so once i wake up i'll have plenty of time to get ready, house stuff done and go to the shops to get drinks n snacks for playing the game.

I remember seeing a news story on local Los Angeles TV at the time of the midnight launch of Diablo II. I think it was at the Universal CityWalk GameStop or something similar.

 

Somebody probably told the news team that there would be cosplayers there, to provide some interesting video that would make the story nightly-newsworthy.

 

So, since GTAV is an LA-based game, some enterprising local LA news reporter might put together a story with quick snips of the GTAV trailers, interspersed with sound byte interviews with some of the GTAV faithful waiting in line on the run-up to midnight. It might be interesting to try to make the GTAV midnight launch a newsworthy event (without getting in any trouble). I wonder if GameStop will have any big posters or something else to promote and add excitement to the event.

 

As pointed out in another thread, our protags don't make particularly interesting cosplay subjects, so if we want the GTAV midnight launches to be interesting, we have to think of something else that would make good sound or video bytes. Let's hope it won't be a Walmart-like fistfight over limited copies of the game available that night.

If we pre-order it in Sweden we get the game on 16th of september Totally worth it

[bartosz.t]

I will take all week off from work and gonna buy the game at midnight lunch ... I will be in first line and then quicklly go home and play 24h

[H.I.M.]

Probably will get it at the game arcade near our school..

[KVRTSEZ]

download before 17 september lol

after i buy collection edition

[GeorgeLopez]

I'll be getting in September 15th or so, ShopTo.net mothaf*ckaaaaaaas.

[DrewyR]

I'll be waking up early on the 17th to get it but i'm not taking the day off. The shop near me opens at 6am for launches, and it works better than midnight launches imo.

[JaggySnake]

I posted earlier. I have it preordered on Amazon but I might just pick it up at a shop. It will be more exciting. For IV I went around loads of shops but they had sold out. I finally got a copy and I remember going home on the bus all excited because I had the game but couldn't play it until I got home.

 

I don't know what to do. It's another 6 months away so got plenty of time to decide!

[I<3GTAV]

Probably going to take off school and wake up at 10 or 11 AM to go to the store.

[Frantz Fuchs]

Pre-order from an underground supplier, who ships them 2-3 day early.

[Emergency_Room]

It all just depends on what I am doing at the time. A lot of nights I go to the gym and work out from about 10-midnight. If I go to the gym I will already be out so I will likely just do an express workout or go to the gym earlier and run by Gamestop on my way home. If I am at home though I probably will not get out and instead just pick it up the next morning.

[ScottishHeist123]

There will be a midnight launch at the GAME store just literally opposite the R* North Offices (!) which I and some mates of mine would love to go to.

 

Unfortunately we've all got work/school commitments so it's unlikely. Shame the game is being released on a Tuesday, not Friday.

[BKALLDAY]

You bet your ass I will be in line at midnight. Already have time off from work approved.

I am going to make it my mission to get it as the first one in my city.

[poklane]

you're gonna be waiting for a few years mate.
