4AM Pacific Time (GMT-8)

GTA:O or battlefield 4 beta, tonight will be fun

13:00 Central European Time

Only 3 hours to go! I still haven't even completed the story yet... pretty close to the end, though, but still, I'm just excited to check out their character creator. I know it's not going to be crazy extensive like in a Saints Row; in fact I think it's all purely dictated by whomever random preset characters (most likely pedestrian models) you choose to link up as your 'parents'. I'm nonetheless excited to see what sort of combinations can create what in any case.

i wonder how bad the aggressive nerd rage will be when the servers break and nobody can log in.

what strength are we expecting on the prickter scale?

I'd expect the servers to be an absolute mess. So be prepared for that. Still, it's going to be fun to see how GTA Online develops. Heard a lot of good stuff from those in the beta.

Further proof that GMT is the right time. As if the GMT master race needed any more proof.

XBOX 360 update is GO!!!

Confirmed on that XBOX 360 update. D/L'ing it now

You do realize you folks are technically getting it later than the rest of us, right?

All my faces look STRAIGHT BUSTED.

Pro tip Turn down illegal activities if you wanna be a beautiful person.

@greggd: Now now, we're all getting it *simultaneously*. It's just that some unorderly barbarians will be either late, or show up hours early for the event.

I look like Claude, so I'm good. And no, not that @claude.

Grandparents have been dead for a 100 years and your parents have just died, those faces looked messed up!
Also been trying stuff out and feels like GTA has been getting stupid flak for racist or sexism but this seems pretty race dependent. Seems like if you want to have specific facial features you need to mix races and eventually use the sliders which skin color you character will have. When specifically choosing all caucasian (which is my heritage) you just end up with the same blend faces.
Fun idea but would rather have sliders, because couldnt get a face I was happy with.

I couldn't make my dude to look like me, atleast my hair and beard is kinda accurate.
