Last one from me. If you have just joined, this is the whole thing. The game is out November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles. It costs 79.99 standard or 99.9...

For anyone else trying to make it to November 19 clean, here is what has worked for me so far and I would like to hear what others are doing. Muted words are no...

Two things I would ask of this place. One, if you are posting anything that did not come from Rockstar or a press preview, say so in the title. Not because anyo...

This is the last time I post about this, I promise. What I got wrong all year: I thought avoidance was a filtering problem. It is a surface area problem. Every...

September has the reveal still echoing. November has the game. October has nothing, and that is the problem. An empty month eleven weeks out is when people go l...

Updated from the version I wrote in August because a few people here improved it. From now: official material only, watched on Rockstar's own site rather than t...

Practical planning question. Reviews for a game this size usually land somewhere between one and three days before release, occasionally on release day itself f...

Specific and boring. I play on a console upstairs and occasionally on one downstairs, both on the same account. Cloud saves are a platform feature rather than a...

Serious question because I keep having this argument in comments and I want to know where other people draw the line. Is a mechanic a spoiler? Is a location a s...

Seeing more of it in the last week than in the previous six months put together, which tracks with a reveal being three weeks out. What I want to know is practi...

Practical problem I had not thought about until this week. I can control my own feeds. I cannot control the person at the next desk who has already played it sa...

Everyone gives you advice about spoilers and storage and preloads. Here is the one nobody says. You will not enjoy the first two hours as much as you expect to....

Question for the people who have played several of these, aimed at the newcomers group. Some games punish you for not doing things in the right order. Others le...

Writing this down so I actually stick to it. No gaming YouTube from November 1. No autoplay anywhere from today. Muted words are already on but I know they leak...

Genuine planning question rather than a general anxiety post. Launch trailers for story games have a bad record. They are cut to sell rather than to protect, an...

Asking now rather than on November 20, because the moment it is out this becomes an argument instead of a discussion. My suggestion is simple: story content beh...

For the new accounts, because this is the question I get asked most. My approach is to watch Rockstar's own material once, on their channel, and then leave. The...

For the newcomers group, since a few people have said they preordered early and are now second guessing the edition they picked. Digital preorders are generally...

We have had a lot of new people since the reveal, so here is the unwritten stuff. Most of what gets discussed here is inference. A small amount is sourced. The...

We are getting a lot of new accounts and the archive here is four hundred threads deep, so here is what I would actually read. The official character bios and t...
