I was just wondering when I would be able to kill more hookers.

Grand Theft Auto 5: John Marston visits the big city

It's been known for months now. Rockstar started searching for GTAV voice actors a while back.


Matthew: (18-25 Male United States) - A liberal young male who believes in a conspiracy made by republicans to undermine America.

Jose: (30-40 Male United States) - A white creepy man who thinks that technology is a poison against the wilderness.

James Pedeaston: (40-45 Male United States) - A man-boy love activist who just got released from an Indonesian prison.

Samantha: (20-25 Female United States) - A young female obsessed with sex parties, always dreaming of being a Hollywood celebrity.

Anthony: (10-15 Male United States) - A young, fast-talking boy fighting for the right of young boys to drink alcohol and have sex.

was hoping for tokyo or london or something. oh well, looking forward to this regardless

marius2: Am I the only one who was unable to get into GTA IV? I have it, but have probably put less than 10 hours into it.

I stopped playing somewhere after the mission to buy new pants and before the mission to go bowling.

scottydoesntknow: Was anyone really surprised by this? GTA is Rockstar's Zelda (or Mario). They wouldn't let anything happen to the franchise that made them a household name.

Now if they could make this one more fun and lighthearted I'd be happy. GTAIV was great, but depressing as hell at the same time. Give me the laughs, shout-outs, and some zaniness of Vice City or San Andreas.

I actually thought Liberty City was pretty good. Though i thought the story for LATD was a much better story than the primary story.

Then again i don't really play GTA for the story so if you could bring back the amusing stuff like the sex toy as a weapon.

Saints Row seems to have pounced on the whole zany, lighthearted, over the top region so i think GTA may be trying to become more serious so they can separate from the new guy.

Eh, I might get it but I've moved on Rockstar. Just Cause and Saint's Row fills my open world needs now.

scottydoesntknow: Ohh and don't make the NPCs so needy. If I don't answer my phone right away it's probably because I'm shooting rival gangs or banging whores, no reason to get all pissed at me.

This would be nice....nothing like being in a gang war and someone calls all pissed off because you don't want to play darts.

Meh, I used to get excited by this but after GTA4 I'm over it.

Can't wait for Saints row 3 though! That looks like fun, and the guys at Volition have picked up the Fun-Baton that Rockstar dropped after GTA San Andreas.

I'm just hoping for easter eggs. Lots of easter eggs.

Hopefully Rockstar doesn't mess up this game too. LA Noire overheats my slim PS3 and it shuts down after 10 minutes of game play (and there are reports that it's been happening to a lot of people on both PS3 and Xbox360) and all Rockstar says it's a faulty disk or a faulty console. The fact that my console has no problem with any other games doens't matter to them and no way in hell am I buying a game that has that kind of problems.

Dear Rockstar Games,

HOW ABOUT PORTING RED DEAD REDEMPTION TO PC BEFORE STARTING ANOTHER GAME, HUH?

Sincerely,
All former console gamers who built a kick-ass gaming PC

This. GTAIV was too serious and real. I play games to escape reality, dammit.

Timed missions suck!

I bought the shiatty "port" of GTA IV to PC. The one that requires to get a Windows gaming account to play the farking game and then runs like crap. So if this is any good, I'll be pirating it since Rockstar owes me 40 dollars.

/likely going to be way to busy with Tropico 4 to bother with GTA

marius2: Am I the only one who was unable to get into GTA IV? I have it, but have probably put less than 10 hours into it.

I'll still probably end up buying this after the price drops.

Same here. I've played too many of them, and it's gotten boring for me.

same, i thought it was boring, they didn't add anything, it forced me to do the stupid "busywork" minigames, the multiplayer was a complete crock and for the love of all things sacred FIX THE CAR PHYSICS. taking a corner at 30 mph in what is supposed to be a freaking porsche should not result in my car flying across 7 lanes of traffic and nailing a building

You must have a lethargic PC. It runs awesome on my gaming rig. Of course, I have 6GB of RAM and two video cards, so I can say they didn't exactly make it simple to get it to run great on crazy-high settings.

Still, it runs alright on my VAIO Z, too (as long as it's docked) and that's pretty impressive since I'm running it from an external USB drive.

Agreed on Windows Live, though. F♥ck that noise.

Don't forget the part where it was so buggy that it was impossible to finish the final mission without installing a cheat that would press the spacebar thousands of times per second for you so you could actually climb into the helicopter.

Oh, and don't forget that the engine for playing the prerendered cutscenes had a memory leak in it. It was hard to hear the dialogue in them when I had four processor fans start running the second the cutscene starts, blowing full bore during the scene, and then powering down as soon as the cutscene was over.

And while I don't necessarily agree that GTA IV was too "gritty," it did lack most of the humor of the previous iterations. And the "realistic" vehicle physics made driving a chore. And there was a lot of driving in it, since you only had about 4 safehouses to save in, and none of them were particularly convenient. And it killed any enthusiasm I have for future GTA games, even though I still play GTA:SA from beginning to end about once a year.

scottydoesntknow: no reason to get all pissed at me.

Agree to meet, and then cancel. This prevents any friendship hit.

Announcement? Let's see here ... looks like they are announcing that a trailer announcing the game will be out in November. So we are at the stage where we get hyped up in advance of the hyping up we'll get for the game.

sorry, but Rockstar doesn't owe you a damn ting, and certainly didn't give you the right to steal a copy of 5 because you think it's owed to you.

Pirates have the worst entitlement complexes ever, I swear.

Make shiat, get shiat.
Welcome to the real world.

sprawl15: marius2: Am I the only one who was unable to get into GTA IV? I have it, but have probably put less than 10 hours into it.

I stopped playing somewhere after the mission to buy new pants and before the mission to go bowling.

Same... Almost the exact same.

I enjoyed the others much more. I though Vice City was a masterpiece. After that, it seemed like they were just adding shiat for the hell of it. It's nice to have a really open world, but I want to do fun stuff. I wouldn't go bowling in real life, let alone pretend too. And I will never understand virtual dating. fark that.

Is it possible to like GTA and Saint's Row equally? Sometimes I want to drive around a beautifully rendered city with realistic driving and damage, and sometimes I want to run around naked and beat people with dildos. They're both a lot of fun.

I think Vice City was the one above all. I remember turning on Emotion 98.3, grabbing a dirt bike, and crusing the beaches at night. I still can't listen to Toto's Africa without wanting to blow someone away.

Played a little San Andreas the other night and man is that game a lot better than GTA IV. It's just a lot more fun and I actually like the massiveness of it. The 2p is also a bonus

Red Dead Redemption > Grand Theft Auto

Rev.K: So please, Rockstar, go back to GTA San Andreas and look at the wonderfully varied missions and the sprawling, three-city concept. Because while I do appreciate that Liberty City was incredibly detailed, it was an incredibly detailed sardine can that I just wanted to bust out of. Bring back the wide-open spaces, please, I'm begging you

I just want the variety back. I liked GTA IV, but it was way pretty much drive to point A, shoot some guys, drive back (the DLC side stories fixed this at least). The TV stations were awesome, the fake internet was great, some of the characters were fun but man it was often more fun to watch than to actually play.

I hope they figure out a better method of story telling than the main character be everyone's biatch this time.

I just bought Chinatown Wars on the DS. It's more fun than it has any right to be.

I agree with most here - GTA IV was too gritty and dark and depressing. So I played Saints Row 2 as a fat British guy and shot poo at houses. Now that's fun.

Rev.K: Antimatter: sorry, but Rockstar doesn't owe you a damn ting, and certainly didn't give you the right to steal a copy of 5 because you think it's owed to you.

I can't speak for the Windows version of GTA IV, but EA Sports has pulled some PC-porting bullsh*t over the years.

When NHL07 was released, it was the first NHL game with the new revolutionary control scheme, pretty cool stuff. Well, at that time I didn't have an XBOX360, but I had a PC. At that time, EA was putting out PC games on the same schedule as console games.

So I bought the PC version and waited for my mind to be blown with all the fun stuff those XBOX360 people were getting.

You can probably see where this is going.

The PC version was a completely watered-down piece of sh*t that didn't include the new control scheme at all and had graphics far inferior to the XBOX360 version. Yet, they were selling it with the exact same packaging and branding as the XBOX360 version.

So yeah, maybe that doesn't mean I deserve to pirate a copy, but that's a f*cking bullsh*t bait and switch on the part of EA. What's worse is that EA keeps doing this.

There is a lesson in here.....

Don't farking support EA.

I *hate* when gamers biatch about how evil EA/Activision are (including the shiatty PC ports of their console games) and then run to preorder every game on the release schedules. FFS, grow a spine.

depends. if you buy a product that is broken, and they wont refund the cost of your purchase, what other possible recourse do you have? sure, you could not buy from them again, but they still would owe you the price of a working product, in my eyes

ZeroCorpse: Still, it runs alright on my VAIO Z, too (as long as it's docked) and that's pretty impressive since I'm running it from an external USB drive.

It turns decently on my MacBook Pro after I log into everything. Most of my biatching was centered around the release day bugs and the fact I have to log into a bunch of accounts to play it.

A Terrible Human: Rev.K: But to me San Andreas did the unthinkable and topped Vice City. The map of San Andreas alone is just a thing of unbelievable beauty. It's not until you play San Andreas that you really notice that Vice City was as flat as piss on a plate. The elevation changes and climate changes in San Andreas are just awesome, because they do such an amazing job of capturing three distinct cities.

I always liked getting to the top of that big ass mountain on a bmx and then jumping off. I'm still playing the farker because well shiat getting 100% on everything takes forever but it's fun which is what game companies should be aiming for when they make a game.

Speaking of SA, and that big mountain, and bikes, and getting 100%. The hardest part of 100% in SA (the 1 and only game I every completed 100%) was that farking bike race down the mountain. Chr*st, I'll never forget that. The most effort and self inflicted insanity I've ever put into a game.

About fu*king time!!!
