SaintJimmy Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Come to think of it, just the other day I was piloting a sub by Elyssian Island, and I remembered that leaked screen of the sub in the harbor - while we're here, was the origin of that ever discovered? Nvm, I read back up on it - it was that We Ti Terun poster who was super duper ominous with his posting, full of Epsilonisms and whatnot. God I wish I had a full explanation for what the f*ck happened. Just like, if R* decided to go 'Lol yeah we f*cked with you guys proper. Here's how/why/when just for sone retroactive satisfaction + closure' Edited May 24, 2014 by SaintJimmy Spider-Vice 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/711207-2405-never-forget/page/2/#findComment-1065456284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vercetti42 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Pre-release: Fun, silly jokes. Fun theories, discussion. Great laughter, angry hate rants about GTA IV, "OMG the black guy is CJ". Ned luke as the protagonist, genesis, find the blue... Now: Angry jokes, personal insults, unfunny laughter, rants treating GTA IV like the messiah, OMG GTA V SUX, GTA V did not add anything, there is nothing to do in the game. God I miss those times when the V section was just so fun.

HOW'S ANNIE? Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 The time between the release of the first trailer and the gameinformer cover were the best times around here, so many laughs to be had. Now it's plain boring. All there seems to be are story DLC topics and Johnny rant threads. Remember Ned Luke/Balcony guy? Remember Red Car Guy? Remember when we thought Los Peutra was San Diego? Remember when we though Mount Chilliad was going to be this massive mountain that would take an hour to cilmb? Oh good times we had speculating/trolling/abusing around here.

Atleast from what I remember, he treated IV like how he treats V now, which is funny considering he praises the game now. Users were so much better when they were "YES R* THANK YOU GAME OF THE CENTURY IM JIZZING OVER THE TRAILER I WOULD SUCK GABE NEWELLS DICK TO GET THE GAME EARLY" than "UHM WTF COCKSTAR WHUT KIND OF sh*tTY GAEM IS THIS BICHT FKING MONEY WHOER BASTERDS" Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/711207-2405-never-forget/page/2/#findComment-1065456657 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerukal Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Yeah there were some great members here. Aren't you glad you got me? I wish I had a more fancy and "respectable" join date, though. I feel like an outsider when I hang out in the non-GTA discussions with all those pre-2010 join dates. Hilarious prejudice aside, I love and absolutely f*cking hate the V section all at the same time. It has had its moments, and it continues to have them, but there's a lot of just pure and utter sh*te that makes me want to go look at the Hot Chick topic in the Off-Topic section to calm my literal raging erection (rhyming unintended).

Aljohnk Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Loved those days where I had to smash F4 button every single minute in GTAForums hoping for a release date for GTA V and speculation from people that it's delayed or sh*t.

God I miss those times when the V section was just so fun. You seem to have different memories of pre-release. I remember the forum was more like the PC discussion thread is now: people angry with R* for taking so long; trolls saying that they had inside information; numerology-based speculation about release dates; conspiracy theories about secret contracts; calls to boycott V/get pirated versions of it. It's a trip down memory lane for me. Didn't 24/05 speculation exist before the first trailer? Wasn't it related to the poll in Find the Blue?

Andreas Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 This place was totally insane in the pre-release period but it was really fun at times. The vast majority of my posts are from the GTAV forum and more than half of them are from 2012 only. Many of them were made just out of boredom and a result of being incredibly excited about the new GTA. The ones who joined close to the release missed out a lot on it. Many members who were here since at least the debut trailer in November 2011 think it was a terrible time, but I personally don't think so. It was definitely a nice experience and I can't wait the same to happen with the next game, as unbelievable as it may sound.

Tilemaxx Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Frustrating but nostalgic times at the same time. Remember when the V section was actually a decent place for creative conversation and non-hateful debates among the members? R.I.P. Anyway, the most disappointing thing was the complete silence from R*'s side. Waiting for new V info? Sure, let's post another one minor Max Payne 3 update. Remember when they announced the delay for Sept. 13? The whole forum went bananas.
