I won't be. I just can't get into RockStars games any more, and some of the choices that they made in GTA5 just turn me off completely. On paper, I know I'd have fun with some elements of it, but I just don't want to play it.
I played like 10 minutes of GTA IV before giving up due to boredom, so I don't see myself playing V any time soon. Plus, I have plenty other games to play, and not enough hours in a day.
I have to bite the bullet and holdout on GTA5. Too many other games on my plate right now, and ones coming up that are of more interest to me to buy a game I wont play first day. When I'm ready to get into it...I will.
I think I am one of the 5 people who wasn't a huge fan of GTAIV, so I will be waiting till a couple buddies get the game to see if I like it (ie borrow it off them/hear what they have to say). I will give that GTAV looks MUCH more like a game I would play, as it has a ton of stuff going on right now.
Given that it's selling at around £50 for a new copy... Yeah, I think I'll pass.
Will probably be worth a buy later on in a year or so when the price lowers significantly.
Nope; class, work, and the Elders Scroll Anthology for PC currently own my life. Not to mention that if I wanted an open world shooter... I'll go with Just Cause 2.
The GTA games really aren't my kind of games, but I love the Let's Plays that come from them, particularly from Achievement Hunter. So, in that regard, I'm looking forward to this game, though I won't be playing it myself most likely.
I want to, I really do, but I am not buying a game for this console generation when another generation is right around the corner.
I will quietly go sit in my office and wait for Rockstar to grace us with a PC version. We all know they look less favorably upon the PC Master Race, but I am hoping greed trumps morals on this one.
...when GTAIII came out, it took the simple concept of the old top-down, blow everything up and see how long you can survive sandbox and turned it into a mechanically broken piece of tripe reminiscent of Prince of Persia 3D. Apparently spinoffs and IV improved on the formula somehow, but I'm unwilling to give the series a chance at this point... rather like the Resident Evil series, only I never even liked the pre-3D titles in that series.
That said, I tend to love sandbox games... or at least some of them. Moddable ones.
I am one of the few people I know who NEVER cared for GTA, which is why I was surprised when I got into Saint's Row so much. However, comparing the two at this point is wrong.
Whereas GTA is a gritty crime action drama, SR3 was like a cheesy (yet awesome) 80's action flick, and SR4 has been antics and fun.
Similarly susprising, per my dislike of GTA, I'm looking forward to Watch Dogs, but there seems to be a twist to it that's spy/sci fi thriller.
