Actually, I think the 360 had to install it to even get it to play. I mean if the game is as big as they say and as good looking (have not got my copy yet), there is no way it could fit on one disc and have the full world with no load times without an install.I really like that there is a mandatory install even on the Xbox 360 version. I tried to never harp on the PS3 for forcing this for so many games because it pays off in the long run.
I hate to break the news to you, but GTA IV received nearly universal acclaim, averaging 98 on metecritic. So not sure why you'd trust the reviews of GTA V this time.Haha but that's a good problem to have Spybreak!
IGN gave it a 10. I hope it's universal acclaim this time around, not the love/hate from GTA IV. I played IV 2 or 3 years and still pop it in every now and then for some races.
EDIT: Make that multiple perfect scores: http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/grand-theft-auto-v
I wonder if this would work if i used my 20gb hard drive with transfer cable.Install the play disc to a USB stick.
Both. Amazon to get your money back (or they will send another out if possible) and UPS to see if they can track it down.Checked my shipping status on GTA V and LE Guide, said it was delivered to a dock somewhere and signed by someone (no clue where this dock is, just a township listed).
It was ordered from Amazon. Ok so my question is who do I bitch at, UPS or Amazon? I am pissed though because the one order Amazon and UPS messes up is the biggest game of the year and that I could of stopped at a gamestop on the way home if I preordered at GS.
UPS requires 24 hours to reply to lost packages, I will respond to both tomorrow. It's not the wait that's killing me, it's everyone else on the internet talking about the damn game and well that is getting to me.Both. Amazon to get your money back (or they will send another out if possible) and UPS to see if they can track it down.
To those people:The only criticism I see out there is that the game is too violent and too sexist.
I had posted a thread detailing all of this but it got deleted for some reason. It would have spared a lot of people. But now, people will install to their HDs and be disappointed. I agree with trying to keep the forums streamlined by putting info about games withing the original game thread but something like this deserves it's own thread. No one is going to read through dozens of pages on this thread so they'll miss the part about the install details. And that is pretty damn important and time sensitive.Can someone help clear this up for me? People are saying you shouldn't install both the first disc and second disc on the HD and one should be on a flash while the other on the HDD. http://www.lazygamer.net/xbox-360/psa-dont-install-both-gta-v-discs-on-xbox-360/
Here's the thing though, unless I wasn't paying attention I only recall the first disc (the install 8GB disc) being the one that installed anything and once it prompted me to take out the first disc and put in the second the game immediately started and I saw no other installing. People are saying it's wise to put the mandatory 8GB install disc on the HDD and the "Play" disc on the flash but I don't remember the second disc "Play" one installing anything. Do they mean I should go in manually and install the "play" disc on a flash?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Rockstar says not to install GTAV "play" disc on Xbox 360
Rockstar Games has encouraged Xbox 360 owners of Grand Theft Auto V not to install one of the game's two discs to their hard drive.
The Xbox 360 version of GTAV ships on two discs, one labelled as "install" and the other as "play." The game features a mandatory 8GB installation from the first disc, with the second required to sit in a user's disc tray in order to play.
Some users might have considered installing the play disc to their hard drive too, but Rockstar Games advised against this on Twitter if users want "optimal performance."
Rockstar has said that it will have more information on this on its support site when the game launches tomorrow.
Rockstar Support's Tweet.
Rockstar Support: For optimal performance, we recommend only installing the Install Disc, and not also installing the Play Disc to the Xbox 360 Hard Drive or USB drive via Xbox Home (dashboard). You will be prompted to install the Install Disc the first time you boot the game.
Yeah I was not a fan of IV one bit so I am excited to see how I like V. It looks like they changed a lot of the stuff about IV that I hated so I am pumped.I hate to break the news to you, but GTA IV received nearly universal acclaim, averaging 98 on metecritic. So not sure why you'd trust the reviews of GTA V this time.
EDIT: reading comprehension failure: I see now you meant you loved it. Mind you, I didn't hate GTA IV, but the acclaim wasn't universal among players at all.
Not lame at all. The ocean physics are really good.I know this is a lame post but, the ocean water in this game is amazing. You'd be fooled if you were looking at the ocean and a real picture.
That mission is funny as hell. I took the blimp out for a spin. I tried landing on the FIB building to steal their helicopter. I crashed and blew upI'm loving this game so far. Options galore. I was on the Ferris Whale (yes, that's the name) & looking at the city from that height, I was mesmerized at the graphics on this game. I thought RDR's graphics were great, but Rockstar North has surpassed it. My favorite moment so far was whenMichael take a puff on a joint. Then he starts tripping & out of nowhere, you have kill aliens with a minigun! That weed MUST of been laced with something.
A huge improvement to GTA IV.
You could sit further away from the television.So I have a 1080p tv and this game doesnt look good at all on it. My friends actually compared it to PS2 graphics. Any ideas on how to make it look better? Is it that the game is so big that the graphics aren't as good as they could be? One thing i noticed is things like water look amazing, but as soon as I step on land it looks like crap. Hard to explain how exactly it looks but its just not as much detail as I'm used to with other games.
Went this morning and got the PS3 version for $37.xx So I can play with my PS3 friends next month even though Ill be on the xbox more often lolAlready used at 3 gamestops within my zip so if you haven't bought it yet check there 1st (if you don't mind used). Plus the PUR coupon this week is 25% off a used game
Lamar is easily my favorite character so far.
Have you guys had any of the random events so far? The one I've seen hadtwo dudes holding up some guy, and when I walked up they told me to go get a car for them. I shot them both in the head and picked up a ton of cash.
I kinda feel like this too. I watch video reviews of the Xbox 360 version of the game and it looks sharp and awesome, and then I play it on my own TV and all of the textures look soupy and ultra low-res. I don't know what the deal is.I've just been seeing some screenshots that look a lot better than what I'm seeing on my tv it seems. The aliasing is definitely one thing im noticing but the textures seem off too. Also not sure if its just me but lighting like tail lights, lighting in rooms etc look kind of blocky, pixelated i guess you might call it. If that's just how it is, that's fine, just doesnt seem like im seeing that in screenshots.
I kinda have to agree with you, I have to stare directly at it to read it which causes me to crash or head into the wrong direction.Just came here to rant about the text. ing small and ing pissing me off. Why do so many games have this ing problem. Don't they go through quality some shit for this stuff? I can barely read shit and my vision isn't amazing but I don't have a problem in almost every other game. God ing Damn it. Ruins the whole experience for me. /rant
Ok it's out of my system. Thanks
Are you watching the video full screen on a monitor in 1080p? A lot of it might have to do with how big your TV is and how the game stretches out to your TV. It's not your fault, it's the 360/PS3 not being powerful enough to probably handle the HD textures like that on the fly. Could be reviews are playing on a small monitor where it's not as bad.I kinda feel like this too.

The same as installing it anywhere else. Don't do it unless you want a screwed up game experience.I know they say not to install the play disc, but what's the final verdict on installing the play disc to a USB drive?
