I mean, that's great. But I like speculating, imminent release or not.  

I won't be gone completely, I still have wi-fi and such.

If there's anything important to pick up, I just won't be first in line to read it, I'll get there eventually.

It's also unbelievable the other way around. A month ago from now, we were still speculating when will it be announced for PC.  

And all of us would never predict Rockstar announcing a game releasing... in a month.

Lol I'll more than likely have a PS5 by then. I'm not patient enough to wait for R* to release their titles 1-2 years later on PC.

Nothing came back from GameStop by the way. No physical copies nor special instructions for pre-orders.

Wish I could have come back with juicy news but I'm dry.

I'll have it in less than 2 hours if it downloads at max speed. I just want them to give more details... i feel like they have barely even talked about the pc version features.

Zero chance there is no pre-load period. 

 

Some facts.

• Largest R* game ever at 150Gb
• First major game launch on their new servers
• They need to iron out any servers issues in the days prior to launch.
• A majority of users will not be playing day 1 if they have to download at launch.

My bet is the pre-load period will start immediately with the next announcement on either Monday or Tuesday next week.

And basically first digital only release for PC from Rockstar.

Sounds right if you ask me. The Launcher needs more work to be good, I mean there's still people out there that can't open the shop directly from the launcher.

This seems to have to do with regional restrictions though.

[monk70 227]

Tuesday - open pre-loads and launch trailer

Thursday of Friday - reviews

That's what I think.

Even though it became a standard for companies to do pre-load periods, I think Rockstar see it as a problem that someone may mess with the files and get early access.

Pre-load 2-3 days before release is what I would assume is okay for Rockstar.

Unrelated to the preload, but I just realized something.
How on earth is Dead-Eye gonna work with a keyboard and mouse? Like, how would you even paint your targets manually?

huh? you activate dead eye, you aim at your targets, you press the dead-eye targeting button, there's not much to it

I guess, but I'm more of wondering what the actual button will be for targeting. If it's on the keyboard then it'd be cumbersome, but if it's on the mouse then it'd be kinda weird.

How so? I use Caps Lock for special abilities in GTA V (toggle). So let's say Caps Lock is Dead-Eye, then a nearby keyboard button is used to paint targets, since left mouse would be reserved for executing the kills, and right mouse aims the weapon. 

 

What would the keyboard button be? Has to be easy to tap while moving the mouse. So let's say... T. Or G. Or any key that you personally feel comfortable with, since I'm fairly certain you'll be able to rebind all of these things anyway!

 

Alternatively, they could just have you tap Caps Lock/the Dead-Eye button again to execute the kills. But then you need a separate button to be able to cancel Dead-Eye when you don't want to use it.

That is one of the perks of PC gaming

I suppose I was just overthinking it then. I was thinking they could do something like have the middle mouse button act as the paining button, but it'd kinda feel weird to be clicking it a bunch depending on the targets.

I wouldn't worry about it at all! People were going crazy thinking about how the Yoga controls would work for GTA V PC. Rockstar is good at default bindings. They made F and Enter the standard for entering vehicles, after all.
