Nnnnoice!

I feel time slowing down more and more now.. Like everything else is irrelevant. The whole universe, everything, made for this one moment. The 14th April!

That's plenty of time. Really nice of them :) with my 16Mb/s I should download it in 8-9 hours anyways, but some of my friends have worse internet and 7days of time to preload is awesome.

If we can download the entire game the 7th why don't they just unlock it on the 7th. They delayed it 3 f*cking times already. If its ready to dl let us dl it.

 

Shipping the DVDs and all that stuff. Retailers all over the world would have to change a lot of sh*t to get everything set up by the 7th.A Target employee posted on Reddit that they had a scheduled shipment of physical copies for April 3.

There's always the possibility he was lying, or maybe they just hold on to it for two weeks?

I don't know, but if it's true other retailers could have done the same secretly.

I don't know how this preload thing works, but, is it possible that they release the game files, but with some other important files missing?

 

i mean, they release the 65GB thing, but they keep 50Mb worth of files, that are important, and fundamental for the game's execution, and they release it only at april 14th

 

idk, its just a guess :)

Correct, also its packed with (I think) 256 bit decryption(?)

 

The exe and some important engine API's will be available for download on the 14th.

That's good news. It's more time than enough for me.

The wait between the download and release will be awful... We'll get the shortcut... looking at us, "click on me click on me click on me"... "he he he you dumb it doesn't work"...

Do you all live on the desert? Why can't you just go to the store, buy the game and go and play without any problems?

 

:yawn:

Because I want it on Steam to be able to see my friends playing it, achievements and so on. Also it is much more convenient for me to download the game then install it from 6 or so DVDs

and almost all gamestops/bestbuy in my area do not carry PC games. Retail games favor console gamers, it is very very rare to find a PC game in retail

Maybe i should cancel my physical copy of GTA V and pre-order it on Steam. It will cost more, but i guess it is worth it. Or is it?

 

Personally I bought the Steam version for the convenience factor.

 

 

But I need to buy retail at some point to put it near my retail versions of GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas, IV and Episodes from LC :panic:

 

 

I think i will buy the retail version later as well. I really like Steam.

Sorry, I didn't know you can buy PC games in Gamestop or Bestbuy only. In my country (not even UK) you can buy PC games in various markets like MediaMarkt etc. and these are everywhere.

Well we don't even have any shops that sell "Original" PC games lol most of them are pirated =/ so we need to either get it through online stores or Steam =|

 

edit: I mentioned best buy and gamestop as a reference to shops that sell pc and console games :p
