That's because it was on PS3

shame the rockstar servers aren't coping with the demand, the set up tool is taking 11 hours YAY, but it is a 175MB file


nevermind, turns out internet explorer sucks

had to trouble with chrome

It was before it came out for PS4 and XBOne.

I'm Safetytrousers there (and still am in several places). I left the crew.

Here might be a good place to hook up with people for heists though.

I like that I will be getting the set of pretty discs. Yes 7, but seven times the pretty.

I pre-ordered it way back in June.

That's a lot of CPU, that looks like it will be my bottleneck more than graphics. I'm set to 4.2GHz but on an older CPU with smaller cache

I would love to play GTA5 again. But since owning it on the xbox 360, I don't think I'll bother.....I think I would get bored playing it again.

I would love to play GTA5 again...I don't think I'll bother.

I would have played the story again some time ago, but I held off expecting a PC version.
After the story my main thing was racing (did about 2000). After coming back to it on PS3 I've not done any more racing so as not to spoil my appetite. Over the past couple of months I've amassed 5.25 million from doing survivals, so I have a nice pot for the PC, and have resisted doing any other activity.
I've been anticipating the day that will be Tuesday for about 2 years. When it comes out I will be intravenously connected to the game.

 

[SmokeDarKnight]

I stopped playing it on the 360 and im glad i did so i can enjoy it on the PC instead

 

[DeadEyeDuk]

Ha! Had it preloading some of the evening...left PC on overnight. Went to work this morning and still have an hour or so left to do! MADNESS!

 

[SmokeDarKnight]

You got bad internet, think mine took about 5 hours, It is a beast though? I only just got fibre optic last year, trouble is you can download things so fast you really need unlimited data

 

[Wozza63]

Can't believe its over 60GB that is madness! How big is the download, after compression on steams side?

 

[DeadEyeDuk]

I am on superfast, but still seemed to only be DLing at 1.5ish a second. Do wonder why it is quite so big (weren't previous examples of this to do with sound files and language packs etc?)

 

[Wozza63]

1.5 aint "superfast" thats about 12mbps.

 

[SmokeDarKnight]

Im getting about 2Mbps, and thats out in Farm Country, its a lot better than what i was getting but nothing compared to people at the end of my street. They are getting double that.

 

[Wozza63]

How do you people survive? I've got 50mbps at uni and 60 at home and with that it seems slow at times.

 

[mcatlow]

I downloaded this last night from 11pm, at 9-12 mb per second. It finished by morning but I don't know exactly when as I was asleep. The complete file is 64,489,373,806 bytes. When I was downloading the installer said it would be done in 1hr 50 minutes.

In other terms that would be almost 80 switches for every person on the planet just to store the data for your game. Wow.

 

[NilSatis]

Dayyyum. Time to start deleting things to leave a reasonable amount of space and get this puppy on there. That's a massive amount of data for a game.....Im sure it will be worth it....but not if I have to get rid of hello kitty and littlest pet shop. No...just no. :nono:

 

[SlimCini]

Clicking on it to run and get nothing. GTA5 splash screen opens then closes. Good start Rockstar...
