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.

What about buying it outwith steam? Few places are doing it less than steam.

i meant with key that will work with steam.  i don't care where i buy the key from.

 

if it is under $30 i am interested.  anything over that i can wait.  

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 :)

got it pre-downloaded on steam and ready to go.

 

Gaming box should be ready to go too (good idea I will need to check Nvidia for a update when I get home from work)

i7-4790k
16gigs
GTX 970
Samsung 250GB SSD

WD Black 2TB

 

(pre bought it when they first announced it was being released on march 24th figured it would have it on my Birthday, a little bit of a bummer it got kicked up a bit)

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.

    • They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • 24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though
    • Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event. Particularly, Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 wireless earbuds have dropped to their lowest price ever with limited Prime deal offering 33% and 24% discounts, respectively. Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter. The earbuds use PU (polyurethane) and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) titanium-coated diaphragms and are tuned by Nothing to deliver balanced audio performance. They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function. Moreover, through the Nothing X app for Android and iOS, users can access custom EQ settings, a bass enhancement algorithm, customisable controls, Find My Earbuds, low-latency mode, dual-device connectivity, an ear tip fit test, and firmware updates. The earbuds contain a 60mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery. A full charge of the earbuds and case via USB-C should take approximately 85 minutes, while the earbuds alone should be fully recharged in the case in around 60 minutes. Battery life is rated at up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 43 hours with the charging case when ANC is turned off. With ANC enabled, playback time is reduced to up to 6.5 hours on the earbuds and up to 26 hours with the charging case.
