I was (and still very am) hyped for this game. When I saw a live stream I jumped on it and watched for a good hour or so, after that hour I was like "wtf am I doing, I am ruining my first experience with this game" and stopped watching... ever since then the little voice in the back of my mind is saying " watch some more WATCH IT", I load it up and close it within 10 seconds, Ive done this like 40 times. I find it took away a bit of the hype for me and ive lost the rush of finding something awesome for myself on a few things. I know I did it to myself and its my fault for watching the streams, but I am weak when it comes to a game ive been waiting 3 years for.

 

game companies should find a way to to release a code on release day so the game will not work untill you enter the code.. or have the game connect online (lots of people will hate that) to the game companies servers to make sure its release day.

Same... You just read my mind. I disagree with the last paragraph though.

That's why I haven't watched any leaked gameplay yet. Just some screens and all the trailers from rockstar. It's annoying that people get to play the game before others. Some people have already finished the game. That's crazy thinking that the game isn't even out yet officially.

Thats why I have been avoiding them. Once you decide to give it a go... there is no turning back.

totally agree mate, codes like that should be about especially for big releases like this one.. years of waiting to just spoil the fresh feeling by watching early gameplay, oh well!

I have suffered in the same way, drawn to this addiction, a quick fix... what harm can it do... really?? Then the guilt sets in, i've lasted all these years, only to be tempted by the temptress that is Magic Mike's last stream!

 

In all seriousness tho, I'm back at work tomorrow, no chance to watch any of these things, won't even get to read the reviews until I get home in the evening, so, a good 24hrs break from these streams will help, and, thankfully, I have a memory like a goldfish!

like the other guy said, once you go in, theres no coming back, your just going to ruin your experience of the game, put it like this, gta v is probably the most anticipated game of the past decade, the most anticipated game since san andreas, youv'e only got a few more days literally, why ruin it for yourself, you wont get a game this ground breaking for a very long time

Same here. Promised myself I would only watch enough of the gameplay so I knew what to expect. I think I've watched every live stream and clip released so far...

i've basically watched beginning to end and to be honest, my hype only increased as i cannot wait to experience it all myself. there is so much mission diversity that i found myself constantly seeing alternatives and better ways to play each mission, hedge bets on stock market and utilise weaponry and vehicles differently. I think this game will have fantastic replay value and even though i basically know the ending i also know i can shape mine differently. bring it on!!

So far I watched a bit of free roam with boats, bmx, a car and a bulldozer, nothing about the story or something that could spoil the game for me. what really bugs me is that i just clicked on a facebook video showing footage of a helicopter flight. this kinda took away the excitement for my first flight ingame.

I'm no expert, but why don't let us pre load textures, code or whatever say on the 10th of September (STUFF THAT WONT SPOIL THE GAME, NO AUDIO ETC)

I know this may sound stupid, and I'll look like a n00b but vehicles were found out from a list, the list name right?

Couldn't they just be generic names?

 

Let us preload stuff that won't spoil anything before hand, then essential files around 2 days before hand?

By the time it's hacked and leaked the game will be out?

 

I was thinking have a purposefully placed, game breaking bug that can be patched day 1... but then not everyone will be connected?...

I spent 3 hours and 15 minutes from my life watching a gameplay video, with some spoilers but I don't mind those...

And I'm still looking for more...

I too have been watching all of the streams :(

 

Thankfully I'm not greedy enough to watch any gameplay missions, though I've tuned into 2 streams in particular that were doing certain gameplay missions and caught a glimpse of some sh*t that I wish I hadn't.

 

Mainly the first mission and the pre-game intro sequence.

 

God damn streams, why do they gotta be so f*cking good?

Seen some.. Avoided most.

Somewhat regret seeing someone drive the east coast highway, and seeing Chiliad appear ingame for the first time..

 

MUST STOP NOW, only 12-24 hours left til I have it..

managed to avoid all mission leaks - all I have watched (and i've watched a lot) is free roam - and only those on foot and car, avoided plane and underwater footage, gotta leave something!

sameee, ive watched maybe 10 minutes collectively. roller coaster, light police chase in blain, robbery, fist fight, and just random driving, no sports cars though :D

 

when there were a bunch on youtube (still are) I caught a glimpse of a shark in a thumbnail and got kind of mad lol but I think I'll be occupied enough to refrain from watching any more.

The russian streams are the best, no free roaming, straight up missions. Shows more of the game than the sh*tty free roam. It's boredom. If you guys loved San Andreas, you'll love GTA V, diverse missions, and a f*cking action packed story from the beginning to the end. Awesome game.
