GTA IV Excitement Thread (nee Anticipation)

So an extra 25 quid to get it 3 days early - no way dude, not worth it. You shouldn't have to pay for getting it earlier, such an event should be a nice bonus for free. I finished BioShock earlier, so now I've got a bit of a gap between now and GTA4 ... ah well ... no doubt I'll plug that whole with a whore's load of porn. yeah i guess, three days early and nearly 100 for the game itself....hmmmmm...its a bit unbalanced...I only got a tenner to last the month and really shouldn't r*pe my overdraft like that...

You shouldn't have to pay for getting it earlier, such an event should be a nice bonus for free. Exactly. I wouldn't cough up a fiver to have it three days early. Mine arrives first thing on the morning of release, I'm happy with that.

[SymphonicX]

Still, I could buy it early and then give you all a report on how great/gash it is....

paying 100 quid for a game. is it 1981?

[CoinReturn]

The most I ever paid for a game was $80 for Chrono Trigger on SNES the day it came out. I ended up paying the same price for it on Ebay 10 years later. Anyway, I'm still debating whether or not I'll be heading out at midnight to pick up my copy. I did it with a few friends for Halo, but I'd have to go alone for GTA4 since they all have to work the next day. What tools.

no, it's 1973 Simona You're getting older Your journey's been Etched on your skin. Simona Wish I had known that What seemed so strong Has been and gone. Chrous: I would call you up every Saturday night And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light And we sang "Here we go again." And though time goes by I will always be in a club with you in 1973 Singing "Here we go again." Simona Wish I was sober So I could see clearly now The rain has gone. Simona I guess it's over My memory plays our tune The same old song. I would call you up every Saturday night And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light And we sang "Here we go again." And though time goes by I will always be in a club with you in 1973 Singing "Here we go again." I would call you up every Saturday night And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light And we sang "Here we go again." And though time goes by I will always be in a club with you in 1973 Singing "Here we go again." I would call you up every Saturday night And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light And we sang "Here we go again." And though time goes by I will always be in a club with you in 1973 Singing "Here we go again." And though time goes by I will always be in a club with you in 1973

paying 100 quid for a game. is it 1981? I don't know if Atari games were that expensive. At least I don't remember them being that high. And yes, I do remember 1981.

Mista Mo.... what the hell is wrong with you? This is a thread about GTA, not some song about the year 1973.

Mista Mo.... what the hell is wrong with you? This is a thread about GTA, not some song about the year 1973. Dunno if ya mean that rudely or what, but it was a response because hellsing said it was like 1981, so i simply thought ahead and said 1973 and then that song came into my head so i thought i'd share. Besides, I haven't slept in like 2 days...and i just got off work...ughhh..headache time.

so far i've seen three reviews, all giving it a 10/10. one of those reviews mentioned that this GTA has the best soundtrack of the entire series (and that's saying something, if you ask me) 18 radio stations, and if you go here: http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/#?page=music you can preview a few of them. i like electrochoc (don't like this kinda music outside of GTA, but something about techno and running from the cops is appealing to me) and wktt (talk) radio so far...bet the classic rock one is gonna be awesome. 8 days, gents.... by way, 700 posts, yeah boyee!

Apparently loads of the music will be stuff you've never heard of, or lesser-heard stuff, rather than the big names & titles of previous installments - same for the celebrities in the game too, less big names like Samuel L. Motherf*ckin' Jackson, but still celebrities...so that'll be interesting, considering a lot of them will be playing themselves apparently. Canny wait!

Ricky Gervais will be performing in the comedy club so I've read

[MinionZombie]

Ricky Gervais will be performing in the comedy club so I've read Oh yeah, the comedy clubs in the game, hell yeah I wanna see what that's all about. Also, apparently there's 2 hours worth of in-game television. Reminds me of Max Payne, although hopefully it'll be fancier than how it was in that game though - still a neat little touch for entertainment's sake.
