I wish I could just buy the Single Player for $30...

 

I will probably wait until it goes on sale since I already have it on PS3...

I wish companies would do this. Sell the campaign with multiplayer being DLC or something. Even if they sold the campaign for $40 with muiltiplayer being $20 DLC I would probably buy more games cause single-player is what interests me in most games.

yeah, i almost never play online, except in fighting / racing games, and even then i prefer to play with another person on the same TV.

i never really play anything multiplayer otherwise.  so i would never buy the new battlefield, because paying full price for a single player story seems excessive.

i might buy it when it is very cheap.

 

and i am definitely not paying for GTA V unless it drops below $30 for steam.

Only took 3 days to pre-load via Steam (Y)

I assume it just makes whatever your current browser is part of the installation.

Im using a Rockstar Social Club version, not Steam.

Nah, it would have been "Chrome" then, I bet they're actually embedding the engine so they can display web pages in-game (Similar to the social club update stuff in GTA4)

I have been trying since yesterday afternoon to download this via the R* client and it has been painful to say the least. Crap speeds(for the most part) and I have actually downloaded the full preload files three times as the client wont register that its completed the download.

 

This has been a widespread issue for a lot of people - its either:

 

  • Slow speeds - we are talking 25kbps here
  • Connection issues to the server - disconnecting etc
  • Download completing - then you go to open it to see the countdown timer and itresumes the download from half way
  • Resuming after reboot loses progress

So what I, and a few others are resorting to is using the CJS keys officlal preload torrent that R* released to them and will install the preload files that way. Downloading direct from rockstar isn't doing very well at the moment.

Could you share it with us?

 GTA V was the first game that I actually spent any length of time online with, at current count it's about 100 hours! There's a first time for everything I guess. I apologize to everyone for my "troll" comments the other night, my rebellious side was out :)

Samsung 250GB SSD

I came across a bit of an issue with the preload, its on a 120Gb SSD with Toca Grid and a couple of other titles, dammed thing ran out of disk space trying to unlock the files, turns out preload needs same space again for unlock to begin with. Ironically if you delete the preload and download again it doesn't need 2x the documented space....miffed? just a bit 60Gb to go via DSL 2 @16mbit! what a waste of time that preload was! :p most of my Bf4 clan are playing it and while some are having issues with Rockstar login/server timeouts, the steam ones are loving it so far....gits!

 

see you in 10 hours :(

Runs ok on my GTX 980, getting around 60fps at 2560x1440, but there's some pretty bad frame drop in areas with the Nvidia GFE recommended settings.

The keyboard bindings are stupid though, unless I'm missing something they've bound the mouse wheel to both selecting weapon categories, and selecting a sub-weapon in those categories, meaning I can only ever select the first weapon in any category before it switches to something else. And of course driving/flying is still best with a controller, but aiming is so smooth with a mouse.

Yea, the controls are a bit... awkward at times. Especially with using the arrow keys. Hey guys, I have one hand on WASD and the other on my mouse. I don't want to know what you want me to use to hit things between them. And the weapons selection... ugh.

 

I get fine performance on my 760 at 1920x, but suddenly lags like hell at things like explosions.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By madhopsman · Posted

      Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.

      Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
