GTA Master Blaster Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 I contacted amazon, It's Hardcover as well That's good to hear. Gonna cancel my order with GAME and go with Amazon, they are much quicker and more reliable. I know it is. Especially since there cheaper too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic_Al Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Never understood these sorts of things, other than for collectors. I wouldn't go looking for help in a game like this, until I was getting frustrated (looking for that final collectible, constantly failing a mission, never finding that rare car etc). Using these things on a first playthrough, or in the first 30 hours of play time, takes away part of the fun of discovery. So does knowing too much about a game before playing it, but there's plenty of people who want to see large sections of the game & missions now. I've compared them to the souvenir program sold in a theater lobby. Although BradyGames publishes it, it's designed by Rockstar's art dept. and written by BradyGames writers embedded at Rockstar. With a hardcover edition, they're thinking as they are with the game's collector's edition, that there are people willing to invest in every official product related to this game. (The people writing the Epsilon Program satire are probably aware of the irony.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3ex2 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Well, damn, I've paid for my standard version already on Amazon. I would really like a hardback version! f*ck it, I'll buy both. That's what I was originally doing until I noticed the limited edition said paperback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pleasure_Pier Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Honestly.... why the f*cking f*ck do you need a strategy?? Just buy the game and f*cking play it. Go through challenges and what not YOURSELF. Not with some strategy for goddamn retards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwood Cigarettes Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I also just tried speaking with Amazon Customer Support UK and they are as clueless as us about the special content with the LE guide. I hope Rockstar make an announcement soon. (I have bought LE strategy guides that have included DLC in the past, like extra in game items. My guess is it will be clothes or tattoos. Something simple.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3ex2 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) Honestly.... why the f*cking f*ck do you need a strategy?? Just buy the game and f*cking play it. Go through challenges and what not YOURSELF. Not with some strategy for goddamn retards. I'm not gonna use it when playing the game unless I'm really stuck. I'm gonna complete as much as possible on my own. I'm buying the guide because I PREFER books to reading/watching sh*t on the internet. Are you OK with that? Am I a retard for doing this? Most of all, I'm buying it as a collectible. I have NEVER bought a strategy guide at least not since I was a kid and was playing Pokemon on my Gameboy. I was obsessed with they games like I am with GTA. I would buy toilet paper if it said GTA V on it. So just shut up, stop having a go at people and stop calling people retards.

If you were a 'true GTA fan' like your signature states, then you would realise and respect other fans and that some of those like to collect GTA related merchandise. The strategy guide offers printed images, development info, facts, artwork, posters, extra maps and extra DLC...all together in one hardback book (LE version) What's not to like!?

Not with some strategy for goddamn retards. Not sure why you didn't take the time to read through the posts here but most of us do it to collect the books or have a nice read while on the toilet such as the character bios and multiplayer content, not everyone who buys a strategy guide buys it for help so get your insults out of here.

alex3 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 448 pages, damn. The storyline must be longer than IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurvenflo Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I just hope this guide has a proper catalog/check list for vehicles, weapons, properties and side activities like the one for San Andreas. IV's guide was a little too focused on the main story missions if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPFC Ultra Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Well as the Collector's Edition had dropped by £20, it was only right I had to pre-order the Hardback Guide too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamieleng Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 More gta v stuff to buy? Limited edition? Pre ordered. Probably won't even read it like my gta iv guide, only used that for the pigeons. You donated it to the pigeons for their nest? How nice of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
