This is a good game. You should purchase copies at retail.

As Jonsey would say, sell it to me.

I'm 5 hours in. I'm not very high on it so far.

It's the same GTA it's always been to me. Technically impressive, some funny parody stuff, but severely lacking in fun and/or interesting gameplay.

Hasn't Saints Row become the "fun" version of GTA?

If it's not on PC, it doesn't exist.

The funny thing is, it seems now that GTA has been influenced by Saints Row.

In the first few hours alone there has been a ton of stuff GTA has lifted from Saints Row. The driving and shooting mechanics feel way more like Saints Row than the traditional GTA mechanics. The save system has been switched to the Saints Row save system. (That's for you ICJ.) There is a string of side missions where you drive a tow truck that are exactly like the tow truck missions in Saints Row 2. The whole thing feels more "over the top" Saints Row-ish than GTA IV did. They've brought it way more customization for your characters and vehicles which is very Saints Row-ish. Your rival street gang is even wearing purple.

At this point, with Saints Row doing super powers and aliens, GTA V is more like Saints Row than Saints Row is like Saints Row.

So Saints Row IV is fun and GTA V is boring Saints Row 2? Got it, thanks!

Just to clarify, I have not been horribly offended by bad design like I had been in GTA3, Vice City and San Andreas yet. So there's hope.

That is truly obnoxious. Of course, you haven't even played the fucking thing yet, so you know nothing.

The structure of the narrative at the beginning is a mess, bro.

I don't get you. I tell you to watch Always Sunny and you hate it. But something WITH flaws, like GTA games, and you can't suck their dick hard enough.

3 days in and I'm still driving this god damn tow truck around and picking up wrecked cars.

This is why GTA never deserves those 10 out of 10s.

The main game? Fine. The missions and activities? Who the fuck wants to play tow truck simulator for hours???? It's kinda fun at first, but when you're still doing it after all this time, it's boring and tedious. Drive from point A to point B, drive from point B to point A. Rinse and repeat.

When you're playing the real game and pulling off heists, it's fantastic. When you're playing some half ass tennis game or running in a triathlon or working as a cab driver it just feels like a complete waste of time. But you have to do all this crap in order to 100% the game.

The main game is awesome. The side missions and activities, much like Always Sunny, are the drizzling shits.

The great part is, I enjoy it more than both of you! I WIN! Why you are determined to find ways to not enjoy it, I'll never know, but it turns out, it doesn't matter! I still love it 100%, 10/10, A+++, and none of your terrible opinions affect that!

(Your opinions are terrible.)

It's the whole fucking "popular = bad" ego thrill ride I've watched you people excite yourself with my whole life. It's still just as sad and pathetic, but I thought and hoped that everyone got over it eventually.

I don't know how old lethargic is, so I'm hovering my finger over the "forgive" button. I think generally around 25-27 years old, given normal growth, is when you give this up. I'm guessing/hoping he's younger than that.

The rest of you (which is one person, as far as I can tell) just stopped growing before it ever stopped being uncool to like what's popular.

"But McDonald's is popular and it sucks." Yeah, but 98% of everyone isn't telling you McDonald's is a great meal.

God forbid something is good AND popular.

It reminds me of Titanic. Titanic was an incredible movie until millions of teenaged girls paid to see it ten thousand times each, it broke the box office record, and became a joke. Nobody remembers that before that happened, it was actually fantastic.

I could go on.

Not the case whatsoever. I am a massive fan of many things that are hugely popular. Just because I don't think GTA is a perfect game that deserves to get 10s on every review doesn't mean A - that I don't like it or B - I give a shit how many other people play it. I buy every single GTA game on day one. I am obviously a fan.

The "popular things aren't good" argument is something that makes me fucking sick to my stomach. I believe that when something is successful it's for a reason. I think it's dumb when people say things like "well, Twilight made a lot of money so obviously money doesn't equal quality." No, wrong. I think the Twilight movies are probably excellent movies for the people who they are made for. I hate them. That doesn't mean they're bad, that just means I'm not in the target audience.

It's still just as sad and pathetic

What's sad and pathetic is the condescending cunt attitude constantly falling out of your prick mouth and how you make shit up out of thin air just to fill your desperate need to argue over everything. You don't know me. You don't know anything about me. Stop thinking you do. You're one of the most immature people I've ever met on the internet and you want to bring up age? Give it a rest.

I don't know

Yes. Exactly. Stop there. Stop making yourself look a bigger fool than you already have.

I CAN'T FIND THE GOD DAMN ROCK QUARRY BY THE WAY!!! THIS MAP IS USELESS!!!! THIS GAME SUCKS!!!!

For the record, I'd like to jump in and give my impressions of GTA V, but I'm still in the middle of finishing Dishonored (then FFV, Blazing Heroes and afterwards ME3).
