Thanks. I could only read a bit of it, but it sounds awesome as I expected

Of course, I expected all major reviews to be positive.

It's been a while since I've been this excited to play a video game.

SPOILER NOTIFICATION EVERYONE!!!!


If you watch gametrailers video review, it will spoil who from Grand Theft Auto IV appears in Grand Theft Auto V.

Yeah, never watch gametrailers video reviews before playing a game. They always spoil shite. I'm not reading any reviews until after I play the game. I'm already buying it, no point to read them.

I mean so will I, but they hand out 10s pretty easily. Hell, I'll even fault them for giving a 10 to TLoU. It was not a perfect game.

One idiot actually gave this game a 70

To his credit, I have no clue what The Escapist is. I think Metacritic needs to limit itself on the reviewers that they feature, especially when the writer uses the word "scumbag" in a review

He complained about cursing...in a GTA game. What does he expect? Only saw a small synopsis on his review.

Haha I read a bit of it and the guy said he didn't like it because the characters are "scumbags"

He went on about anti-heroes and bullshite. Not really sure what that guy was expecting out if the game

Rockstar has revealed its companion app for Grand Theft Auto V, the iFruit.

The app is available now on the App Store and will allow you to get the latest GTA news, check out what's going on with the Rockstar Games Social Club, and also let you remotely influence goings-on in your copy of GTA V. As yet, there's no word on an Android version.

Firstly, the iFruit will allow you to create your ultimate vehicle in the game; from paint jobs, window tints, smoke colours, wheels, hoods and spoilers, you'll be able to manufacture the car of your dreams and then place an order. The next time you play Grand Theft Auto V, you'll find your customised set of wheels waiting in your garage. You'll also be able to use the app when playing, and create custom license plates for use in GTA V and GTA Online.

The iFruit will also include Tamagotchi-esque gameplay in which you remotely look after Chop, a dog belonging to one of Franklin's friends. You'll be able pet and feed him, as well as play games and teach him tricks, all of which will help you unlock rewards in GTA V. Keeping your puppy positive will result in him being more responsive in the main game, as well as sniff out hidden items on walks. You can even earn credits to buy him bespoke collars.

If your loved ones were thinking they'd at least get to talk to you in the coming weeks during the unavoidable toilet breaks, looks like they may be out of luck.

Don't Install Grand Theft Auto V's Xbox 360 "Play" Disc

Rockstar has advised Xbox 360 owners not to install Grand Theft Auto V's play disc, as it'll negatively impact performance.

The Rockstar Support twitter explains, "For optimal performance, we recommend not installing that disc. We will have more info on our Support Site at launch."


Grand Theft Auto V comes on two 8GB discs on Xbox 360; the first is a mandatory "install" disc, while the second is the "play" disc. While you'll have to install the former (as you might have guessed), the studio has warned against trying to do the same for the latter as it'll negatively impact how the game runs.

Makes sense. If it's reading the play disk, it has 2 sources to pull data from (DVD and hard drive). If you install the play disk, it has to read both disks from the hard drive which will slow down read times.

This is why i read and watch reviews but ignore the scores. The scores are all inflated and some people shouldn'T be reviewing games if they already hate it. If I read or watch then I can self filter the crap.
