I'm a huge fan of the grand theft auto series from the first one on ps1 to the UK version. I still have all the games from all the series. All on Playstation.

 

But I have been off the video game scene since, well I guess it says 18 months since last logged in my Ps3 or Xbox.

 

So today my little cousin told me about GTA5 is getting released this month on the 17th. So I took him to gamestop and reserved it for both systems, since he only has the Xbox he was pumped that I bought him the game, Now that gives him a couple weeks to sweet talk his parents to letting him have that game, he is 14yrs old.

 

I can't wait for this game to come out, anybody else reserve it?

Or get the special edition?

My xbox red ringed 3 yrs ago after I finished gta IV, and I stopped playing.  I actually went out and bought a new xbox last month just for this game (got a good deal on it).  I have since beat Red Dead Redemption and am eagerly waiting on GTA V.  

I'm not sure which platform I'll play on yet.  I have both Xbox360 and PS3...  I've been playing more PS3 lately..

I'll get it for Xbox.

xbox for now, then pc in march

I haven't been on vacation all year, so I decided to take off the 17th-20th (the day it comes out and the rest of the week lol)

 

don't mind me, i'll just be on loser status for a week and get paid for it.

My brother pre ordered it for me for Christmas of last year lol.  I assume it will be shipped to me when its released. 

I'm really pumped about NHL 14 and Battlefield

If its coming out on x-box one ill get it then.

Haven't reserved it yet but plan to, been playing last of us on ps3 AWESOME GAME!

Payed off rest of pre order for ps3. Can't wait to pick it up

Wish I had time to play games! lol.. I barely have time for my firearms hobby.. GTA5 may push me to get an xbox or playstation and buy this game.. we'll see.

I should just sell my ps3 since i will never use it again. No time for shooting yet alone video games

$100 so it can sit in my unused mancave and probably just collect dust hoping to be used. lol.

How about shooting video games? lol

 

 

I've been a fan of GTA ever since it came out on PC.  What a great game.  The creativity behind it is unbelievable.  I may buy it in the winter if I have more time.

360 for sure. Hopefully it comes out for PS4

i was going to ask 150 but i am not sure of a used price

depends on the storage and how old I guess? I think new ones go for $200.

I actually scheduled my knee surgery around the release of this so I'd have almost an entire week to play.

just to make sure I get it.. you need to convince a 14 year olds parents to let their child play a game in which he can act out sex with prostitutes.... murder....theft...  drug and gang activity....

 

seems reasonable.. 

 

edited to add.. I am all for being flexible.. I am all for allowing kids to experience life.. maybe see an over the top movie with me once in a while... or play a little bit of a game that has graphic violence or shooting... but this particular game seems to be in really bad taste for someone that still has a lot of maturing to do.. as the content essentially represents EVERYTHING you would not want a child to grow up thinking is "cool"

Ive been playing since the original. This one looks epic.

Vladtepes, these boys play it already. Their pops plays video games with them from COD, gta4, Halo to gears of war. I know they have an agreement with school grades and video games.

 

 

 

Anyways add me up on ps3, clintoon

It's nothing personal... Like I said... COD sure... Your basically playing "army" in a video game... Sure it's violent at times... But the overall theme is not one routed in everything that is bad.... I played one of the, at one point... And as an adult can disconnect.. But there is just something about a child assuming the role of a character that participates in shit like that...

 

Like I said nothing personal at all.. I play video games... Buy some I just think are TOO much for some kids...

I can't wait a week from now it gets released! Yeeeaaaaaahhhhbooooyyyy

I'm waiting on the PC version.

LTC Dave Grossman calls them "Murder Simulators."

 

Goodfellas was probably one of the best movies ever made and it was horribly violent.  I don't see much of a difference between that an a Grand Theft Auto story.  Although you can act out the fantasy in the video game- which is a little disturbing.  Best to be left to adults who know the difference between fantasy and reality.

Console peasants! Cabt wait for PC release.. its gun be ohhhh so good.

If I had a child (I don't), I wouldn't allow them to play GTA-type sandbox games unless I was confident they were mature and well-adjusted enough that the gameplay wouldn't affect the development of their behavior.

 

A violent movie that lasts for 2 hours is one thing.  A virtual reality that they will spend days/weeks of cumulative game play time in is another.

 

For myself - Yeah, I'll probably get this eventually, after the "prom night" premium pricing goes down, and after I finally finish Skyrim...

 

Oh yeah - PC preferred.

Rated M for Mature (17+)

Right.... I sit there with a 13 year old and watch something awful.... Like natural born killers for example.... We watch a couple roaming the country murdering... Raping.. Etc.. And then it's over.... Kids typically get emersed in video games.... Driving the action from a first person standpoint.... And I agree with you 2 hours =\= days on end.....

 

In a movie you are like wow these people are nuts...

In a video game you are encouraged and rewarded for committing these actions....

Remember there is like an 8meg installation.
