Hm, what day is the 27th (that is when it's out right?)?

Where's the best place to order it at the moment, in Southport there's a Game and a Gamestation. I don't mind ordering it online, but do prefer going to the shop and handing over the cash, much more "exciting".

Still I'm 17, might have to get me ma to go get it for me, can't wait, first time my 360 will be put through it's paces since it's Christmas arrival.

It's out on the 29th, which is a Tuesday. I think that's the day games normally come out in the USA.

Ah yes, now I have to find out what's on the 27th, as I know both dates hold importance.

Finish college at 11.30 on a Tuesday, so will be right into town, and be on it by noon. Nice.

TheKid. · « **Reply #1245 on:** March 31, 2008, 10:00:24 PM »

as long as it's not sold out. Couldn't find San Andreas for ages in any of the shops in Southport after it's release day

You can reserve it, with no charge, at the shop next to the Post Office in St John's. Was in there earlier buying Assassins Creed (which is shite and will be going back)

I bloody hate that game, bought it for £45 from Tesco's took it back the next day, but they told me that since I open it they couldn't give me refund, I hope you have better luck tomorrow.

Got it for £30, thought it was alright, repetitive - very, but I liked the idea of being able to just walk around, and jump on a horse and stuff. After a while did get tedious though.

TheKid. · « **Reply #1250 on:** March 31, 2008, 10:48:05 PM »

aye Assassin's Creed is a bit repetitive, but i got it for £25 so tis mildly diverting. Of course i can see no other game, the odd blast of fifa aside, that'll get a look in come gta time

Apparently it sold over 7mil copies, needless to say they are working on sequel.

This got me excited.

IGN: What really impressed me is that you managed to keep the idea of an open-world game in multiplayer, which is something most people seem to lose. GTA Race, in most games you'd be stuck in a car, stuck on a track. But f I want to jump out of my car, jack a new car or just shoot people or set up a road block, I am free to do what I like.

Houser: That's what I was saying where the world has to run, and then you have to design around that, because that's what the game is. You can't throw away what the core ideas of the game are just to make something. Well you can, but it's just a different game at that point. If you want to make a GTA game with multiplayer, it has to feel like GTA. It can't be, "Here's a series of side multiplayer modes that have some loose resemblance to this game." It has to feel very similar, but there's living people running around.

I can imagine the mayhem.

Was so looking forward to that game. Waited months. When I found out GTA was delayed I thought at least I'd have AC to fall back on. Did I fuck. Completed it in no time only to be surprised by the "You've now unlocked every area in every city so now you can't play anymore" bullshit. What the fuck was that about?

So now I mostly play Pro or Oblivion. Excellent games. But they will be getting well neglected when GTA hits the stores. I'd better get all my Pro-ing done before April 28th cos I'll never play it again after that.

sorry for double post, but in your bedroom on AC after the game press Y (xbox) and look at the wall, you get an achievement and then you can just lay back on the anibus and select a memory block to play through again, or you can just start a new game but it's repetitive enough the first time round..

Not really, its genuine. have you even clicked on the link.

"Sex references also occur during cut scenes, including references to strong sexual behaviour," states the BBFC classification. "During gameplay the character can pick up prostitutes... What follows is an un-detailed portrayal of masturbation, fellatio and intercourse. The character can also visit lap dancing clubs and request a private dance. While the game contains sexualised dancing and the portrayal of sex, there is no sexualised nudity."

Gameplay for £39.99 which means I will get it the day before release, might be able to get a few hours in before holiday. If I stay up all night, that could be a good 15 hours

then sleep on the plane all day next day.

got a feeling this won't be a case of delivered the day early, don't know why just a feeling. Haven't bothered pre ordering, hoping between the asda, woolies and blockbusters by ours there'll be some to buy, if not, no doubt i'll try a trip to the trafford centre after work

baring in mind its out on the tuesday, i think people may get it the friday

no way the delivery is going to be Monday, so they will get them the week before, so may send them when they get them, thats what they usually do, however they may wait until the monday

the way I see it you will get it Friday sat, or Tuesday Wednesday
