Was also hoping this but they have been very strict on sending games out early lately.

Knew there was no hope of getting it today when I saw that that Rockstar will not even allow reviews to be published online till 3pm GMT today.

Doubt there will be considering you can now modify cars in it anyway. Do like there little reference to impreza's in the game though. Can by front mounts on some cars and has STD writing in pink and similar style to the STi on impreza coolers

Are you going to let a 4 year old play it? Not judging, just asking.

I wonder if you can still recoup some money from 'ladies of the night' after giving them a good seeing to in both meanings, if you catch my drift?

And before anyone jumps on their moral horse, it's only a video game.

Against his mums wishes he plays on gta iv.....he doesn't understand the game just likes the cars and guns (at the mo)
I know it's not the 'right' game for a 4 yr old but he's with me so much....how many 4 year olds can shoot a junior 410 , or are confident on a 110 quad .......very clever kid for his age and kids toys just don't interest him ,
I have about £600 in skylanders to prove he would rather play COD
Now he's started on the Disney infinity.......game won't get played much but he will save for all the figures (or go through my pockets for change )

Like I've said......I've created the lil lad into what he is , I just hope it doesn't turn him into a wrong un

Sounds like he's picking up the 'GTA way' pretty well

Just messing, it's not for me to judge, just interested in peoples point of view

He was on a quad at 2.....and started with the 410 7-8 month ago
I do know I could be doing more harm than good.....my missis tells me constant!
But he's my little lad and I want him to have everything I never and I would rather have the little 'man' than the little kids who are in his class that have 'accidents' and fall asleep...
It could all bite me in the *** when he's 14 and my car is 'missing' off the drive....but I do go on at him what's right and what's wrong

If you read the paper in 10 years 'schoolboy crashes stolen car into,school and shoots classmates'.....I'll admit I was wrong

Surely these companies have rules put upon them whereby they cannot deliver the game until release day ??

have to say im really not liking the flying in this so far, seems as if movements a little to sensitive on it, and hard to keep it steady as you can hit bits of turbulence, which will make the plane/helicopter unsteady

Happy Bday Pimmo.

Well its a good game, considering theres only 69 missions ive only done so far around 21, and been playing it for total of 10 hours or so.

Have noticed a bug, car seems to keep disappearing out of my garage, bit gutted as just spent a fortune on it modifying It, seems to happen if I switch to another character and do a few missions with them, then switch back to another.

Only thing I can say I don't really like about the game so far is the flying controls really, other than that its great

nope as said car was in my garage, only reason I can think for it disappearing is I had two cars in same garage and maybe the game can only save one in there.

Has just happened again though, although this was when I started a mission, needed to use a bike so left car there now its gone, not in the impound either, or back at safehouse.

Kinda feel its pointless modding cars when they will keep disappearing or not be returned after doing a mission

Maybe a silly question here: Never played any of the GTA's before, apart from an hour on the very first one years ago. Can I just pick this up and play, or do I need to know the full story etc to get to grips with it? It looks fantastic, really fancy a play of this, as nearly all my games are racing and fancy a change...
