You Aren't The Only One Taking A Day Off For Grand Theft Auto V

Here's a rather frank but hilarious notice spotted by lukedoof in front of a small British games shop called Console Yourself. Why bother opening the store when they know their customers and staff alike will be busy playing Grand Theft Auto V on launch day?

ohiostatesman3871d ago

I plan to buy GTA 5 when its on sale or used.

OhhWerd3871d ago

You'll break, you know you want it

GarrusVakarian3871d ago

What was the point in saying that?

Millions of people are going to be playing it at midnight next week, who cares if you are going to buy when "its on sale or used".

And if you wouldn't pay full price for GTA5, then i would love to see what games you WOULD pay full price for.

@Lukas_Japonicus

What if he's poor and lives in his mom's basement?

3-4-53871d ago

I usually would, but I've been waiting 5 years for this game and I just don't have the self control to wait.

Most likely getting it at midnight release or early the next day......... as in the second Gamestop opens.

Double_O_Revan3871d ago

I've been very good about waiting till games go on sale to around $30-40, but there is NO way I'm not getting this on release day.

kingPoS3871d ago (Edited 3871d ago )

If everyone had that same thought, how would more AAA games make it to production with decreasing budgets and deflating sales?

I don't get you, either you want the gaming market to to thrive or you want it to keel over. which is it???

Thank goodness different people have varying... opinions.

Spinal3871d ago (Edited 3871d ago )

Well I won't be booking time of work for its launch but I'll take time off work for when GTA online kicks off!

The Singleplayer portion of GTA isn't that interesting to me. The only Singleplayer I enjoyed is GTA 1 and San Andreas but of course that's because there was no multiplayer option.

@ cyguration

Being poor is no excuse to not get GTA V, we are poor to...LOL, we pre-ordered it in Feb with Income tax money.

I took Tuesday and Wed off for this game with my remaining vacation days.

t0mmyb0y3870d ago

It happens to be my B-day week and I have the whole week off HAAAH!

OhhWerd3871d ago

Still figuring out the excuse to use to not go into work that day

TheDarpaChief3871d ago

Got a doctors appointment. That's my excuse

kenshiro1003871d ago

You can always use the 'I got sick the day before and don't want to spread my germs' excuse. XD

MrDead3871d ago

Just tell them you're at home playing GTA they will understand, I'm sure new GTA comes under the compassionate leave policy at all places of work.

PCGamingNoobs3871d ago

yeah it does, i definitely read that somewhere!! its like a national holiday thing, its just given.

Hellsvacancy3871d ago

Tell them you twisted your neck whilst you was sleeping, your in agonising pain

Cost of realistic looking movement.

lucasnooker33d ago

Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…

Profchaos33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

Oh and hundreds of millions of dollars in revanue to boot.

Lots of complaints about gta ever since the hd era started and yet it's bugger than its ever been with gta vi up to 180 million trailer views alone. The next game is shaping it be be another genre defining game

MetalGearsofWar32d ago

They already learned they dont have to actually make a great game

sagapo33d ago

The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.

Zhipp32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

I did accidentally beat someone to death a couple times. An unfortunate mistake but besides that I didn't have any problems with the controlls

jznrpg33d ago

Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games

Profchaos33d ago

I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.
