I like this game. Some problems with combat, such as you just can swing your machete or fire freely, you have to wait for the button prompt.
Originally this game was to start right after the "event" happened and you slowly watch society crumble and adapt. Maybe they will come up with a prequel that shows the protagonist right after the event and cross the country.
I would like to see a prequel or a sequel or both.
@LukeWesty @TenraiSenshi I agree with you about the locales in GTA 4. I bet someone could blindfold you, put Niko in a different spot and you would not be able to tell which borrough you are in. Not the same if you put CJ in a different place in San Andres.
I still go to Gamestop (EB Games in Canada) first to buy my games. They are cheaper and have a better selection than Walmart and the big box electronics stores. You go to Walmart and they have a big bin of games for $15 which you know you can get the same game at Gamestop for $5 -$10 used.
Regarding used games on next gen consoles. I won't buy a next gen if it does not play used games.
Another great thing about GTA is the music. I still think SA had the best music. Sometimes I would just drive around so I could hear the songs. I would be flipping through radio stations trying to find my faves, then just cruise around.
For all those people wanting and waiting for PC - Just go out buy a console for $200 and you get to play V on the day it comes out. You can play on a big screen TV while sitting on a comfortable couch instead of sitting at a crappy desk and playing on a 20" screen.
I hope it comes out early Spring, April not May. The earlier the better.
I would pre-order the deluxe pack as long as there is good swag and I don't mean crappy free DLC crap like bonus DLC guns or DLC clothing, I mean real swag like bobble head, or T-shirt, or license plate. I'm tired of the bonus items in deluxe versions being DLC content only.
SInce it is not coming out until Spring 2013, we have plenty of time to put in our Pre-order.
Lets just hope the world doesn't end in December before we get to play V.
