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 :)

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

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.
