You've got me all hyped on it to Mr. Analog, but I won't be able to buy for a bit yet

Oddly enough there was a mission in Vice City where you go back to Liberty City (from GTAIII) it was exciting to think that there could be more to do in a totally different locale

GTAV made $800 million in first 24 hours

Some of the comments are hilarious

[Thorin]

Well that settles whether they'll get their $250mil back

[Mr. Analog]

That's for sure!

That depends on how the publisher orchestrated the deal. If its like hollywood (or the music business), that game is still a financial looser on paper.

$800 million in one day? That would have to be some seriously @%&#ED business practises.

So... I haven't posted anything yet because I'm still a bit shellshocked to be honest

This is a finely crafted game

I've been watching some lets plays. So far noone has gotten very far in the first hour or so.. but hey, i hear is a long ass game.

I did the first few missions and then just started to ... wander

At one point I hit a deer (or something, it darted out in front of me, I didn't get a good look) in the country and lost control of my bike, no one on the highway would stop so I started walking.

I was in the desert and I could hear coyotes, the sounds started getting closer so I jumped on a slow moving freight train and rode on a flatbed until I got into a switchyard where I found an old car parked near a switch house. I hotwired it and drove back to the city (a long drive, more than 5 minutes).

I wasn't sure where I was when I got in and I didn't know how to set waypoints on the map yet but I noticed there was an LRT station closeby so I got on it and rode it to a station I recognized and walked home

IT'S ONE OF THOSE GAMES

[Tom]

Haha. Yeah, I heard the world is pretty darn huge.

It's ... massive
