The main complaint brought up was that the game ONLY looked slightly better than RDR in terms of graphics, current builds don't have AA applied yet, but to be fair, if you think RDR looks outdated and it spoiled the game for you, then you will be let down by GTAV.
I personally thought RDR looked great, though I did think GTA IV was pretty ugly looking at the best of times.
I hope the multi player free mode is a much fun as 4, as I am still playing that every weekend with mates now 5 years on! Love the sticky bombs in TBOGT so they had better return!
Wish things like trains would be running though as I felt this was missing in 4 multi player.
The more to explore the better, single and multi player.
Years later, I still haven't connected my Xbox 360 to play GTA IV online. Back in the PS2 days, I liked to make up my own games for the San Andreas off-line two-player mode. Hide and seek was surprisingly good fun!

In free mode it's fairly amazing the things people got up to. It's a shame the game is ruined so much by hackers now, but back in the day I was never off this thing. I still remember being late for College one day, not being able to drag myself away from the television after trying out the multiplayer...

10 years ago i'd have been seriously considering buying that collectors edition (i was a bit of a RG fanboy) but thankfully, when i hit my 30s, i was overcome with a little thing called common sense.

Wish everyone would take this view, maybe then they would add all this content as standard and not shaft us.
Since I'm a bit of a sucker when it comes to GTA I might opt for the Collector's Edition... but then again common sense is telling me to stick to the Special. Better do special. It's just a cap for God's sake!

Imagine have 8+ players having a big underwater fight a la Thunderball fighting with harpons and stuff
Ermagaad! I'm not a multiplayer guy at all but THAT I can get on board with!
I think if they iron out the problems that were evident in the first incarnation of Cops and Crooks we'll have a good game indeed.
In free mode it's fairly amazing the things people got up to. It's a shame the game is ruined so much by hackers now, but back in the day I was never off this thing. I still remember being late for College one day, not being able to drag myself away from the television after trying out the multiplayer...
Still love a good race now and again.

Are they out of their cotton picking minds?
But you get a Los Santos hat !
Rockstar have gone way down imo. Yes, they have done this with RDR and Max Payne but DLC additional guns ? GTAForums are going nuts over all this.
Wish everyone would take this view, maybe then they would add all this content as standard and not shaft us.
Hope you enjoy it.
Will probably spend the bit extra and get the Special Edition.
ERMAGGAARRDDSSS I want it.
GTA Blimp. Yeah booooooooooyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Ideally I'd love the collectors edition but it might be a bit too much money for me so close to next gen.
Yeah, Shopto and Game are doing them I know for certainty. The Special is only available at Game.
