Thread Closed Until It Be Cleaned

Seriously, posting links to youtube is one thing.

Posting your own screenshots of a game that is not release until 5 days from now, a whole other thing.

I mean seriously, should I really have to delete 67 comments??

My apologies to anyone whose comment I deleted and was on topic, I did my best, but literally there was about 6 pages of just pure nonsense.

I think it goes without saying keep your own screenshots out, keep the talk about pirated games out, etc.

In fact, I really do not see how there should be one comment about gameplay until the 29th. If you are so upset at that fact, go to a forum that allows discussion about pirated software. We have not, and never will, tolerate that.

With that said, it is a grey line about linking to videos on youtube, scans on other sites, etc. It is not always clear what is right and wrong in those regards. If it is a reputable, well known site, Use your discretion, and if someone feels it is inappropriate, report it, and many thanks to the members who did report this thread already. Thank you.

Good job DirtyLarry.

Only five days left, seriously can't wait :blush:

[Guest]

Well, I'll be at my local Tesco Extra on Monday evening from about 11. My friend is going to pick up a copy and, depending on price, I could well be tempted too.

[Statikk]

Thanks for the hard work Larry. (Y) I know cleaning a thread of this size would not be something I'd enjoy.

:D I guess since 5 days left to go you got all the time you need to do a house cleaning.

Thankfully around here it should be pretty easy to get a copy at a store, a friend of mine is unable to reserve his through Gameplay, so is just going to go into a store and get the PS3 version.

I imagine in denser areas it's going to be more difficult.

Ya...I'm in NYC and I didn't reserve the game. I think I am just going to try at different locations and hopefully get the game.

Also, a few Best Buys are opening at 12 AM on Tuesday. http://kotaku.com/383236/best-buy-announce...aunch-locations

If you didn't preorder the game maybe you can get there early enough to get the game.

My Play.com pre-order's status is now Processing, so with any luck they'll send it tonight...

I don't know how iCon got hold of GTA IV this early, although it is a recurring trend with GTA games to be leaked early. A curse of their popularity.

I think the dodgy camera work might be whats actually going on in the game. It takes a skilled camera man to wobble so precisely :D

My mistake, I didn't notice the edge of the screen waving around.

In summary, the guy is skilled idiot

Not only with GTA, most games are sold before release or leaked some how.

Is there an option to put a seatbelt or something?? I thought I remebered reading something about that.. :huh:

But yea, the Euphoria animation engine is amazing in what little I have seen, I do hope other games start to use it.

That really isn't going to happen. The amount of people ordering from Play.com means that if you ordered any time within the last month and a half or so, your gonna be waiting a hell of a long time.

Incidentally, Game have a release-day delivery guarantee going, but of course thats only for us Brits. I canceled my order with Play.com to put one in with Game so that I'd get it on the day :laugh:

I haven't pre-ordered anywhere but I'm hoping I can get it from one of the local game stores in my town which are like privately owned not a big franchise.

I ordered on 9th Feb :) Some people are reporting that Play has already despatched their orders so anything's possible, really.

I think me and a couple of friends will be going into Free-roam online together if we can just to explore the place :D

It's likely we'll all get into the single player missions though :p

Why? Why is it a whole other thing

In the YouTube case, you are posting a video that shows screenshots/video gameplay from another person

In posting screenshots/video gameplay here, you are posting a video a shows screenshots/video game made by you

There is no difference.

There is quite a difference. We do not and will never promote piracy here. By posting a link to a YouTube video from a random person, nobody here is showing that they've pirated the game or purchased it earlier than they should have. But by posting your own shots, you're pretty much saying, "Yeah, it was me, I did it," and showing that you have pirated the game or otherwise obtained it earlier than you're supposed to.

Talk of piracy is not allowed here, so it should follow that promoting piracy by showing screenshots of a game you have pirated is also not allowed.

This thread was cleaned for a reason guys, let's just talk about the damn game.
