very very nice...

[sKin]

Just wanted to say.... FUCK YES! I cried when I read:

"This sets the standard for what you should expect in a truly next-gen game. You owe it to yourself to play it. " And then right after: "Utterly stunning in every aspect. 10/10"

Brilliant!

[Doh616]

I guess the waiting was worth it after all. Ill probably go at midnight to pick this one up.

[BigMac]

Will I be able to pick it up the day it comes out if I don't pre-order?

You can if they're not sold out.

[Well Me]

You can if they're not sold out.

When has there ever been a shortage of video games? The answer is never.

People think "hyped" games will be sold out if they don't pre-order, but those people are idiots who think that the success of the Wii in terms of marketing will be copied by video game developers. My guess is it will be the same thing as Brawl and Halo 3 - there will be so many surplus copies, you'll be fucking sick of seeing them everywhere.

I didn't say it would sell out. I was saying that's the only way he wouldn't be able to get it on that day. There would be no other reason he couldn't get it on launch.

Is the Official Xbox Magazine credible?

Seems like it would be a little biased?

[Warka]

yeah people are retarded for preordering. i didnt preorder halo 3 and i went to the store to get it the day it came out and the shelves were filled with the game.

They kept one in stock for you because they thought you were a hot chick.

So wrong... First week gta:san andreas came out it was sold out all over my town for ps2.
Thats completely logical considering how many damn ps2s are out there.
Your bold statement of never fails under certain circumstances.

I pre-ordered so I wouldn't have to worry about paying for it later. I didn't want to take a chance and not have the money to buy it when it came out. There's different reasons for pre-ordering games.

[h4z4rd]

Fucking sweet. I never doubted that it was going to be an amazing game. Rockstar always delivers with the GTA franchise. I can't wait to play this game. Now I just have to wait for the PC release :(

[cloudfox]

Wow, I barely even cared about this game due to the little coverage it got. I don't know what I was thinking.


Was it just me, or did that dickfuck spoil alot of things in that article? Like the part about the "last mission" and stuff.


Damn, I really can't wait til I get my 360. I'll making COD 4, Halo 3, and this my top priorities.

This would be the first game they ever gave a 10. Thier reviews are pretty good and spot on.

[hellraiser_427]

Lol no. They gave like 4 games a 10 in a 3 month period: Bioshock, Mass Effect, Halo 3, and Call of Duty 4.

Not to mention Fight Night Round 3 and Gears of War earlier on.

[h4z4rd]

Well just wait until all the reviews come in. I'm predicting this game receives the best scores this year so far (if not the game of the year).

[Beldar]

Wow. I am definately glad I got a PS3 last week.

[Lividum]

It could've been an 11 out of 10 if it didn't have to adhere to an 8 gigabyte standard. :(

I'll still get it next month.

Yeah, or if the online was more polished and had more content.

theres a trillion different modes for online...

That's the US OXM. The review is from the UK version of OXM, which has only ever given 10's to Bioshock, Oblivion, and the last PGR.

[Sander]

underlined the fault. I dont have to go to the store, i'll probably get it before the store opens and im paying the same. preorder = win.

[rand0m]

Anyone else find its cheaper to pre-order GTA4 than to buy it in stores?

Delievered first thing in the morning to my home ...

[dude22]

You can have it delivered to your house? I preordered mine at gamestop btw.

amazon ... ?

shit even with first class delievery it was cheaper.

[scary_A]

i might just stop playing my xbox 360 until the release date so it doesn't have a chance to RRoD

and im hopin fry's will have gta for 39.99 just like they do for a lot of really good games right when they come out

[TJIZZLES]

I've officially stopped reserving games. I used to do it, but meh, why waste all that extra time when you can just go to Best Buy and pick it up right off the shelf.

Seriously. Reserving games is a good idea, in theory. I'M SURE that I can walk into a Best Buy at lunchtime, and pick up GTA IV with no problems. I'm not saying that to be cocky or rash, but I've learned from experience.

I dunno. As I get older, I tend to like game shops less and less. When IU walk into a store to buy something, I don't wanna be hassled by some piece of trash that wants to tell me what I should and shouldn't buy. At places like Best Buy or Circuit City, I just get what I want, pay for it, and leave without talking to anyone.

[Fungus Amungus]

I'm going to get the day it comes into where I work ;P.

[sublimej311]

When did they get video games at Mcdonalds?

[Fungus Amungus]

I work at Best Buy jackass.

[SIKKENT]

this review was based off a hands on....it wasnt even a complete version.

[refoops]

this review was based off a hands on....it wasnt even a complete version.

So it means the ACTUAL game must be like 4000/10

[/foolproof statement]

[Mr.SelfDestruct]

I work at Best Buy jackass.

So, you started at the same pay that a McDonalds worker would start at?

Seriously, people need to stop dissing McDonalds as a job. The pay is pretty decent for a bottom rung grunt job. They'll start off someone who's never had a job at around $7.50 an hour in the USA.

Starting pay for a bottom rung Best Buy employee? You guessed it, $7.50.

[Sander]

Oh, not to mention, i preorder becuase im a few months off 18 meaning i cant buy it in the store but when preordering online nobody gives a rats ass if your 6 and buying and 18.

I wasn't dissing Mc Donalds you dipshit, in fact I use to work there and I liked it. By the way I get 10.65 an hour and I've only worked there for a month and a half. If you wanna think next time before you fucking post that would be really nice.

Pffffft, I was so right.

pffft you were.

[dck42069dck]

Well...crappy jobs aside, OPM UK (Official Playstation Magazine) has also just given GTA 4 a 10/10.

Same with me, and thank you.

[rand0m]

I hope stores underestimate the number of sales GTA4 will produce and all these guys boasting about picking one up in the stores without pre-ordering don't get one.

Right. Like that will happen....

/Sarcasm

Noone is boasting. I can only speak from personal experience, but the last popular games that I have bought on release day I have not reserved. And that's simply because stores like Best Buy have alot of them. But I'm not gonna get into stupid arguments over a video game. It just seems..... pointless.

[rand0m]

yeah ... but it would be fucking hilarous if stores did run out ...

[Total Madman]

Back in the day when I worked in Woolworths, the supplier fucked up a delivery of Gears Of War on release day and we didn't get any at all. All these smug assholes got fucking owned when they strolled in to the store and asked for a copy. Luckily I'd pre-ordered mine and got it in the post.
