Uhm, i bought it for 60% less than the Steam price.

Cool. I don't count those gray-market sites like G2A or Kinguin though. Not to mention we're from entirely different regions.

Interesting, maybe some people feel they are at risk to spontaneously combust if they don't get to play games the very hour they launch. Is the prospect of waiting a few days really that terrifying? I guess it must be, people resort to VPN's for "early access" all the time.

 

Never mind that poorly running games can't always be brute forced to decent performance, 4 way SLI can't help you with game save problems.

 

If you preorder games, don't complain about bugs and issues, those aren't glitches, those are your preorder bonuses.

Why are you so salty? You are literally getting angry because people are getting very excited to play this game. I have a group of over 10+ people that I plan to play online with and we aren't going to wait a couple of days to see if it is bug free. We have been anticipating this game for a really long time so what is wrong with pre-ordering to get ahead of downloading the game and a decent in game bonus?

 

If you don't want to pre-order keep that to yourself. Stop trying to force your ideology on other people, especially in a dumbass topic like that.

 

Nice move. Still thats one big download xD

Most of the time that number is to keep some headroom for updates and such. I expect it to be around ~50 GB. That is still a lot though haha.

My PC: i7 3770k @ 4.4 Ghz || Hyper 212 Evo || Intel Extreme Motherboard DZ77GA || EVGA Hybrid 980ti || Corsair Vengeance Blue 16GB || Samsung 840 Evo 120 GB || WD Black 1TB

 

Peripherals: Corsair K70 RGB || Sentey Pro Revolution Gaming Mouse || Beyerdynamic DT 990 Premium 250 Ohm Headphone || Benq XL2420Z Monitor

You're the one who brought them up, not me. Didn't buy from any of those.

I'm going to buy it no matter what, as well. But I'm still not going to pre-order it. Why?

 

When you spend your money, sends a message.

Well all the Rockstar games have been solid gold. I really don't feel they deserve a sort of punishment or whatever. It's not like they ever banked in on pre-orders and botched a game. I never ever pre-order EXCEPT from studios who've never fucked up.

I pre-ordered and love GTAV so don't get me wrong but in many ways Rockstar deserves the crap they get from the PC community, just when people were starting to get over the GTAIV thing they go ahead and keep delaying V over and over again. Saying Rockstar has never fucked up is just wrong sorry :)

Oh yeah no I meant only game content wise. Obviously if you pre-ordered and expected it to be on time you got fucked over

65gb

Slick:

I don't care if you are right or wrong... someone will come around and correct you if you are wrong. What people need to realize is that we need to step up as a community and get above the pathetic fights and bickering. Share knowledge, be friendly, enjoy your stay.

He also forgot to mention if you dont know about the topic then dont make stuff up. Dont claim fake or assume things just by reading the title, Read the post. It doesnt matter if you made 3,000 as it could be mostly crap...

HDD space required (that for installed game) and download file size (raw game files before extracting and installing) are two different values. So what we have to download is goanna be smaller, we don't know how much smaller exactly. Therefore I asked u to put that in once u start pre-loading and can share with us the number u see on steam download page :)

Edit: its 59GB according to the post below. That's what I wanted.

Connection: 200mbps / 12mbps 5Ghz wifi

The pre-load has started on steam!

 

You may need to restart your client though for the game libraries to refresh... (Also, its 59GB compressed)

Nice background I also like the graphs in right bottom corner :)

7.7MB/s and 8 hours ?! Thats a wrong estimate. The guy above did 8.9MB/s and got it in over 2hours.
