Not to get this page too far off topic but I think it's valid to compare the two considering the production budgets. GTA V is allegedly the most expensive game ever but there's a ton of movies in that budget range. And only judging by box office totals I can't see many films reaching a lifetime total of a billion.It's a bit unfair of Forbes to put GTA V in the same bucket as blockbuster films when comparing opening day sales. The cheapest iteration of this game is 4 times as expensive as that of a premium movie ticket. Apples to apples, if they were selling tickets to the GTA V movie, it would have grossed $200M in the first 24 hrs.
That being said, the highest grossing single day film of all time is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Pt. 2, which made $91M in its first 24 hrs.
You win Rockstar. :bow:
Give the game more time before you decide you don't like it ... I was on the fence about it myself until I started ignoring the missions and story and just began messing around. This is basically San Andreas with GTA IV's and Red Dead's graphics and I think it shines when you just set yourself loose across the countryside, causing mayhem and running from the law. There's so much to see and do, the environments are spectacular and diverse. It's fun finding new weapons and shops ... just last night I discovered the gas can at a random country gas station ... you can pour gas on a car, pour a line from the car in a circle or where ever else and then shoot the line and watch the flames expand and blow up the car.
Plus, I think GTA Online is going to be amazing ... I would definitely play this more and let yourself get used to things like controls, etc. It may not be the best game ever, but it's pretty impressive.
Have you played to the point where Franklin meets Michael? Once that happens, the ghetto stuff starts to subside. I mean, it's still there ... sort of like the real ghetto ... but you can ignore it and play however you'd like.That's actually the next thing I don't like about it. They made the game even more Ghetto then San Andreas.
I liked Vice city a whole lot more as it mimics Tony Montana from Scarface. It was quality while still being classy.
IN GTA V its some knucklehead who drops the N word every few sentences. Same thing with the radio stations. Its all rap music N word and N word that. For one I hate rap music with a passion. And that is a staple of the game. Just like how San Andreas was.
I want a GTA game where the music is 90s alternative rock.
Its almost like rockstar was trying to make a political statement with the game. Since the franchise has always been known to push boundaries.
To me the only thing GTA V has on Vice city is graphics.
Welcome to modern day America. Seems to be a perfect parody of the world we live and the society that surrounds us. Hell, maybe I just live in a shit hole.That's actually the next thing I don't like about it. They made the game even more Ghetto then San Andreas.

Don't worry, it'll be back in stock soon.damn, missed it my that much
Thanks, I hope so. I bookmarked it, so I'll keep checking it. I had no intention of buying this game, so I didn't preorder the special edition. After watching lots of gameplay and reading lots of reviews, I think I'll get $80 out of it. Initially, I was just going to wait for the inevitable "Complete Edition" but after watching so many youtube videos about this game, I think I want to jump into it now.Don't worry, it'll be back in stock soon.
Totally agree. I'd love to see those take home numbers for Rockstar too.Not to get this page too far off topic but I think it's valid to compare the two considering the production budgets.

Just this summer we've had around $200 million: Iron Man 3, World War Z, Pacific Rim, Lone Ranger, and Man of Steel plus a lot more $100 million+ movies.
Unfortunately, the more interesting story would probably be what kind of percentage of sales Rockstar is receiving from GTA V. With box office receipts we usually assume 50% goes to the studio but what about games sales?
Wow, have they been going in and out of stock several times a day?Both version oos again...these are selling out pretty fast.
The only thing that really bothers me about this game is that Rockstar ignored five years of improvements in open-world navigation. I hate driving while staring at a tiny box in the corner of the screen. Games like Saint's Row and Sleeping Dogs add actual arrows into the world to signal turns - so you can drive while looking at the world, not a tiny GPS. It's particularly tragic with GTA V because the world is so well-realized - I want to focus on it, but if I want to know where I need to go, I can't.
I also really liked in Sleeping Dogs how you could toggle the GPS to different missions without needing to pause the game and go into the map. I think GTA V is phenomenal from what I've played, but as others have said, you also get the feeling these games are made in a vacuum, which to some degree does hurt it a bit. They've incorporated stuff from other R* games (i.e. MP3's shooting), but things from other devs like the in-world GPS feel like they were either ignored, or they felt it wasn't needed.The only thing that really bothers me about this game is that Rockstar ignored five years of improvements in open-world navigation.

I do find myself staring at the radar a bit too much when trying to find my way, so I agree there should be a better way. If nothing else have the radar turn into a more GPS looking screen that warns you of upcoming turns like a real Garmin or something would.The only thing that really bothers me about this game is that Rockstar ignored five years of improvements in open-world navigation.

My parents bought me Doom when I was 4 years old.He's a late bloomer.
When I was 13 I got arrested in 7th grade for marijuana possession. My dad picked me up from school and took me to blockbuster and bought me PS2 and rented me GTA vice city. I was playing the GTA PS1 games before age 10.
Though I was a straight F student. My parole officer says I'm doing great though. So I turned out all right.
Or change the stationTurn off the radio if you don't like the rap music, that's what I do.
Loved me some heretic/hexen.My parents bought me Doom when I was 4 years old.
I grew up playing Heretic, Doom 1 and 2.
