Still surprised they didn't expand on the ability to switch characters on the fly and let you play as anyone in the posse. Feels like a step backwards in terms of their ability to tell dynamic stories which I felt they pulled off pretty well in GTA5.

I wonder how many characters from previous games will show up. Red Harlow, Jack Swift, Landon Ricketts, the creepy guy who John shoots but can't kill.

Switching characters was a fancy loading gate imo, it was rarely used in interesting scenarios outside of like 2 missions.

Switching characters was not a make or break feature for me. I always had a character I preferred playing as anyway.

Game stop called me to inform me about my pre order. Yay

Those motherfuckers better call me. I'm pissed as it is that they put my shipping address as my billing address for my collector box and now that might not arrive.

EDIT: LMAO one minute after I hit send I got the call. 9pm tomorrow WOOO

This character art reminds me of that guy.

Nice catch. Looks a lot like him from what I remember.

99.9% it's not him though - that dude was God or the Devil or some shit.

Would’ve been nice to get some kind of answer. Probably would’ve destroyed the mystique tho I guess.

Average of 97 on metacritic with 45 reviews ATM.

One review said it's got the greatest videogame story ever told.

Another alluded to a new "Far Away" moment where a song kicks in during a big part of the story.

And Gamespot will likely get death threats over their score of 9.

I give no fucks. Angus is generously peppered.

GIVE ME THIS SHIT NOW
