Delayed until September.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

A lot of all three seemed influenced by reality TV. Hell...the trailers could have been commercial advertisements FOR reality TV programs.

Will this one be fun again?

I'm not a bigfan (scot) of the "relationships" part of GTA...
Dude I just wanna carjack people and kill hookers. I'm not trying to build friendships.

Pretty sure IB hated (or strongly disliked) SA for the RPG stuff.

Radio Gaga is no slouch either.

Picked up VC on steam this weekend. Worth 2.75 or whatever it was just for the radio stations.

Indeed...

...dug up VC and popped it in the PS3 a few weeks ago to be able to listen to some VCPR Pressing Issues while I was cooking...

...might be the best use of licensed music ever.

Ok, that sounds familiar...

...yeah, I wouldn't worry about that...the only little bit of that which remained in IV was being able to change clothing...otherwise it was gone and I don't see any reason they'd bring it back for V.

Outside of missions, players can swap between the characters at any time. Hitting the D-pad brings up the selection menu and also a range of stats: each member of the trio has ratings for elements such as stealth, shooting, stamina, driving and, yep, lung capacity, and all of these gradually improve as the character employs them – a system reminiscent of San Andreas. They all also have one special ability, which can be instigated for limited periods of time. When Franklin's in a vehicle, he can slow down time to get sharper handling, perhaps to avoid a police stinger or navigate through a road block. Trevor can double his weapon damage for brief bursts of hyper-violence, halving the damage he takes in the process. And Michael, who already resembles a slightly older, more puffy Max Payne, gets a variant on bullet time. Once again, the more these skills are used successfully, the more they evolve.

When you switch to a different protagonist, you'll join the new guy in one of many interesting, unusual or downright disturbing activities. Trevor will usually be out in the desert, Michael in town or slumped at home in front of some Vinewood action flick, sinking bourbon. You're never quite sure what you'll get. To show this off, our Rockstar representative switches from Franklin to Trevor, and we join him on a beach dressed only in Y-fronts and surrounded by dead bodies.

Uh-oh

III and SA are tied for my favorite.

I rarely troll.

What the hell, I would. Post op is OK right? Right?!?!?!

I'm not feeling the "Heist" based storyline at all.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

im a little scared of the online part. people are going to take that shit seriously, and there WILL be virtual mafias created.

5 Chill Out at Your House and Spark a Bowl

This is one way to "hang out" with your friends.

Yes, really. You can invite your buddies to your apartment – bought with persistent in-game cash – and they can hang out, sit on your couch, and take hits off of your bong. You can even get high, which will have screen-altering effects. Your pals are also able to look through your telescope – it won’t look into space, but will instead magnify what’s in the distance of the game world (trust me, I asked!) – or watch the in-game TV. For instance, a hilarious new episode of Republican Space Rangers. And if other folks in your crew are out causing trouble, you can turn on Weasel News on your apartment TV and actually follow their shenanigans live, as covered by the San Andreas news channel. Or watch them hover creepily near your apartment on your home’s closed-circuit security television monitors. Of course, if come home from a hard day of murdering and just want to relax with a sh
