Title says it all. I live in the East Coast and I want to start Online right when it releases, even though I'm afraid that it will either be really laggy, or crash all the time.. x_x

I just wish I knew whether to stay up tonight or not

Well shiiiiiiii... Guess we're pulling an all nighter tonight..

So I guess it's suppose to release at 7AM Eastern Time! Do you know if in order for it to take effect, if I'll have to restart the game?

You'll need to download a title update for the game.

I think you mean restart in terms of story? I believe your online character is separate from what I have read on here. But I am trying to keep it mostly a surprise.

Sounds like none of you guys have Steam. so you aren't used to this

 

I have no idea how many times a game was supposed to launch on "X" time on "X" day and it *never* ever does. Usually 24-48 hours later, even a week I've seen.

What I'm saying is, don't bother staying up all night tonight, because I'm 99% sure it won't launch at midnight of the 1st.

It's supposed to launch at 7AM not midnight.

Just wanted to chime in that I also read 7 AM on an article right off the Social Club website. Also, I cant believe how many people have no idea what GTA online is. You are going to create a new character (not Sims style). You pick your parents, then genes, and some traits/hobbies and it will generate your person. Then you start with $0 and no reputation. You will work your way up the ranking system earning money and rep based on doing jobs, committing crimes, and so forth. It has nothing to do with SP. It takes place BEFORE the SP storyline and your cash will not transfer over. You will have to unlock properties, houses, etc and eventually there will be more heists but not right off the bat. I wouldn't plan on it being live until tomorrow morning likely a few hours after what they say based on previous experiences with updates. It will also probably go down a few times over the day due to server overload. Don't expect anything that crazy or playable for a few days.

Pedantics, it won't launch at 7 am either, mark my words.

I'm sure it will release on time, but it probably wont be bug/glitch/lag/crash free in the least..

They said to expext a title update for the game at 7am EST, which will unlock the online mode.

Sounds about right to me. Most updates for games + when XBL updates their marketplace, usually occurs at the same time. 7am EST

Rockstar can't tell us because they don't know. Its in the hands of Sony and Microsoft now...

 

As others have said, that's usually around 7am US EST. Since I don't PC game, I don't have steam. So I'm used to things releasing on the day they're supposed to :p

Sh*t like this (DLC, major TU's, etc) usually doesn't get released until around 6am est / 3am pct.
