What will you do first?

Dont worry the people over at GTA Forums have been doing that since the game got announced.

Do the tutorial stuff so I know pretty much everything is open and then just roam about and see what happens

Yep, switch on subtitles and then go straight into the missions. I'm pretty damn excited for it.

Rip off someone's car, mow down some innocent pedestrians and get a "refund" from a prostitute.

Probably find a helicopter, then fly straight into that huge mountain.

shoot someone, then steal a car and drive as fast as possible to the nearest thing that looks like a ramp and try to jump it. Roll out of the wreck of the vehicle *unless its a bike then, Revive at hospital* and do it all god damn over again until my fingers bleed because why the hell not!

shoot dudes.

Follow-up the plot for enough missions to get my own place, then go for a stroll around the town and browse through radio channels, 'till I hopefully end up on one playing Stevie Wonder's 'Skeletons'.

I usually just do the first couple of tutorial-y missions before I start to mess around.

Enjoy the story.

Do the first few missions or so with each character, then find Grove Street and explore.

Off topic but i found this

Was agent always there?

First thing I'm going to do is let it sink in. Then I'm going to bask in the excitement of playing another GTA game. Followed by a lot of smiling and laughing.

Probably going to punch the first Los Santos citizen i see. Not sure why, just because. From there, i'll probably jack the first nice car i see and start a rampage. Then, missions.

I'll drive up the biggest hill/mountain I can find and enjoy the view.

The same way I start every GTA game. I get in a car to get the feel of the vehicles and crash. Then it's a mad dash to get out before the car explodes. It NEVER fails.

Same as Jim Sterling

STRIP CLUB!

Im gonna find a deer and hit it at full speed.

Yeah, it's been there for a while. Hopefully we see it next-gen.

yep, I only did this with GTA 4 but I'll definitely do it with GTA 5 again. I wonder what sort of scenery they're going to first give you control in. Say whatever you want about GTA4 but those first 30-90 minutes were fucking riveting from a technology, experience, whatever standpoint. Walking under those L-train rails, people walking around saying things, the sound of the city and the cars.

Christ, GTA5 is going to be incredible.

Punch someone in the face

Find the first convertible and put the top down! Then cruise into the sunset with one of the awesome radio stations, playing!

Make sex at a prostitute and then shoot a cop because

FUCK

THA

POLICE

Probably open the cell phone and see what I can do from there.

I plan to find a jet, fly at the sun as long as possible, and then do a little skydiving. This will likely go on for hours, as I'm easily pleased.

if its like every other GTA ill spend the first 10 mins looking at a loading screen slide show.

OH GOD WHY ISN'T IT NEXT TUESDAY ALREADY!!!!

Do exactly what I did in San Andreas, ride a BMX around the streets. Sounds stupid I know, but I remember that so awesome in San Andreas the day I got the game on launch.

That and drive off into the countryside and take in the atmosphere.

@shagge: I hate those Zero Missions with the might of a thousand suns. It wasn't until a few months ago where I learned that I didn't need to beat those missions to complete the main game. This is coming from someone that played it when it first came out. Needless to say, I won't ever do those missions again.

I will do the same thing i did in GTA 4...punch the first person i see and watch them tumble! that's how i knew GTA 4 was awesome.

Tell me 'bout it. I'm thinking of...maybe changing my PS3 time settings to 13th day so it'll start the pre-load, then to 17th after that so I can start playing it right away. That'll work for sure, right? RIGHT?!1

Jack a convertible, put the top down, get the music playing and head for the beach! The Ocean looks amazing!

Those were side-missions that were totally worth doing though. I loathed each and every helicopter mission in that flight school.

You don't? Oh man, this changes EVERYTHING. There are other missions I hate in that game, but now I feel like I could actually beat it without cheating. I now have a new goal in life, and something to do while everybody else is playing GTAV. :P (all my disposable income is going toward fixing my PC, so V has to wait for a while)

I am prepared to play 12 hours straight before I have to go to work the next day at 4pm. I then work till midnight and have the next 3 days off to sink my teeth into GTA V

Steal a bike

Play the intro missions to the point were they let you off the leash and tell you to go nuts, then steal a car run over people to get the cops attentions, kill a cop to get his gun and then see where it goes from there.

As soon as the game lets me go do whatever I want to, then I'm going to steal a random car, drive on the sidewalk, and hit a guard rail as hard as possible to see if the flying protagonist physics are as good here as they were in GTA 4. Among other general fucking around type things, especially anything that will cause a police chase. I'm really hoping those are more harrowing than they've been in open world games.

As Franklin, get a motorcycle then rob three consecutive convenience stores in the style of place beyond the pines.

For Michael and Trevor, not sure yet.

After doing the first few "forced" missions (I.E. tutorials), I figure I'll find the most expensive car I can and take it for a tour around the circumfrence of the map. I believe there's an expressway that runs around the map, I plan on driving all the way around that.

I will press X to run because that's so much FUN.

Probably mess with clothing / hairstyles...

Go to the bottom of the map and just walk upward. Just walk. I would like to see how long it takes me.

I don't know man, and I like it that way.

After Watching this, Clock Someone across the face.

Install it to the hard drive, and then install the second disc.
