I love my open world games but I'm not too keen on Watch Dogs (even though I'll be getting it)

It looks like an awesome concept but I just have a feeling it will get old quick.

Despite the massive let down that was Assassin's Creed Revelations and III, I'm really looking forward to Black Flag. The gameplay and setting looks amazing. Just hope they've fixed the combat.

Apparently we're getting more in.

I still don't find a need to get a next gen console now. All the games I want are coming out on current gen. GTA, Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs, Madden, FIFA etc. Only game I want that's on the X1 is Forza 5. And even then, apparently it wont be ready/half made come day one.
watch dogs is on next gen as well

Sure is. So is Assassin's Creed. I'll probably get an X1 for Christmas.

On a side note, not that it's anything major, but you get a HDMI cable with the X1.

It's kinda hard to tell on that map (I went on IGN for a bigger size. IGN is blocked here at work) and I spotted 3 airports. Only other GTA game with 3 airports, fittingly, was San Andreas.

I seen an article earlier saying that Rockstar have spent $265 million making GTAV, which is more then most Hollywood blockbusters. They have also already made that back in preorders.

Less then a week to go & I can't wait, I am so keen to play it. I love GTA games ever since back on the PS1 with the old top down view style. Rockstar are the top game company out there!!

Yeah, read that. That's insane! They're expecting to make one billion dollars before Christmas. They'll smash that, IMO.

Same to everything. I still have GTA III onwards on the 360 and constantly play San Andreas. Best game (Along with Red Dead Redemption) ever made.

Apparently Rockstar hired actual gangsters to voice the extras/NPC. That's them to a T. Smallest detail in everything they do.

I just hope they make another Midnight club game.

The game in Midnight Club LA was good but it didnt really reach the 'heights' of part 3 and the dub edition remix, I still play part 3 as I just found it to be enjoyable playing in different cities and they have a better variety of cars.

Cancelled, my friend. Midnight Club: Dubai was set to be released but got canned.

Apparently they used a lot of what they would have used in MC into GTA V.

Deadset. There was 1-2 videos on YouTube and they looked pretty good.

ArmA 3 has "technically" been released. I say technically because when you start the game and choose campaign it says "coming soon".

Fantastic game but poor form releasing it with so much missing content.
