Best open world game like this I played since Sleeping Dogs, way better then the forth game, close to as good as Saints Row 2 for me, its a great game and the Max Payne 3 team are handling it, most likely a great port, did you see the specs needed? Its great news so far.

"The best since Sleeping Dogs", as if that game set the bar very high.

"The game isn't even very good in the first place (at the very least, not $60 good)"
Did you play it? I'm curious as to what caused you to have that opinion.
I'll admit it never had the same charm to me as GTA IV or Red Dead Redemption, but it was still a very solid game.
"and they shafted PC gamers with such a late release"
I'm sure they did it just to inconvenience you, because they hate you.
The game was first released on PS3/360 while the next gen consoles weren't as widespread, and those versions had little content compared to the later ones. They spent the time between the last and next gen releases refining and adding many things to the game. The PC release is equal to the next gen release at least, but its hardly the same. They couldn't have just said "Uhh well the next gen release is done so I guess just transfer the files to the Steam servers!". A lot of things need to be done, for instance optimization for different hardware rather than the same exact consoles being played by everyone, integration of their Rockstar Social Club, etc etc etc.
I don't know why I took the bait and felt the need to type all of this but I'm going to play some CSGO now.

Obviously you need to be extra careful if you trade for an expensive game like GTA V, but if you use some common sense I don't see why you shouldn't trade for it. I've seen it for 16 keys from traders I would personally trust (there are quite a lot of offers for that price, seems like it's worthwhile if bought from the Canadian store), so you can safe quite a lot, depending on where you live. Just make sure that

  • the trader has a public account that doesn't look fishy (eg he has 500+ games and is 1+ years active on Steam)
  • the trader has a lot of rep
  • the trader's rep was aquired over a long period of time
  • the people that gave him rep are active on Steamtrades as well (just check a few people and you should quickly find some well known Steamtrades users and people with old Steam accounts and lots of games among them, which would be a good sign)
  • The people who already bought GTA from him (look at his thread and compare to rep) gave positive rep and are not fake either
  • if someone is cheaper than 95% of the other traders better don't trade with him - better reputation is obviously more important than saving another 2-3 keys in a case like this

But like someone above me already said - if you are not desperate to play the game then just wait. It will become a lot cheaper and after the horrible GTA 4 release it would be a crime to preorder GTA 5 imo. They first need to prove that they learned something.

How about Using middleman service, over Steamrep site? Also like anyone said in above, it would be wise to wait and see how's the games works after release.

Wait until it's released. Seriously, you have absolutely no reason to pre-order that game.
With Rockstar games, don't take a chance, wait until it's released, and get it for far cheaper.

Remember what happened with South Park The Stick of Truth preorders? Don't trade.

Be patient, young grasshopper. You will be able to own game for a fraction of its current price, soon enough. Think Summer Sale....

No retrolock, around two hours ago.

Thought steam glitch still should allow buying row copy. (But using it has lead to bans for sellers of Thief&SouthPark from Russia)

It has a different sub ID now, which was giftable for 2-3 hours.

Those could still get a retro-active lock, but now that they've disabled gifts, they probably won't put in a country runlock as well.

I hate you guys for even thinking of eventually getting this piece of overpriced crap, especially after what the company did last time to you (and will do again this time).

If you want the real GTA experience get GTA2 (which is even free).

And all the comments saying "I already have it on PS3, but I'm gonna buy it on PC too" ... if my mind had not been blown up in the past already, it would have been by this once again.

Just wait. It's a pretty good game, but who knows how the PC port will be.

i honestly did not care for this game all that much. the main characters were all annoying as hell. the music was awful when driving around in a car & the location was not that interesting, but those are all my own opinions. i personally rather them do a GTA outside of the states. i did like IV way more than this game. Saints Row & Sleeping Dogs kept my interest more than GTA V. i would have rather them put out Red Dead on Steam than this game.

I preordered it for $70.00 CAD... I hope it'll be good I've been so hyped for this. I think you should buy it using keys though, I checked around yesterday and people were selling copies that aren't from china for 23tf2 keys.

I am waiting, when it will be released, I will wait for some reviews to see how it performs, if it is good, I will buy it with KEYS.

If you want to preorder it just for that 1M $, nah, I don't like this, I want to start from 0$. xD And that free game, nah thx.

Wait till GTA V gifts become tradable and then you don't have to rely on trust and just trade keys for GTA V at the same time.
