Picking up at 9pm. Hoping the install doesn't take too long since I have to be up early Friday.

Gonna pick it up that Friday, install it on the console, go to my hometown to watch my young brothers varsity football game.

Saturday off to flordia on vacation. So really I wont start the game until Sunday the 4th when we get back or that Monday the 5th after work.

I'm not buying it.

That might seem off topic, but it's definitely my plan for release day. It has little to do with how good the game looks and everything to do with Rockstar's labor practices.

Same here, though I will say that I have no opposition to Rockstar as a company and don't really feel that their labor practices are all that different from the rest of the industry, I just don't really care about AAA games anymore.

GF bought the digital version for me. Preload the game, play at midnight with the headphones on in my man cave on my OLED. Cannot wait!

Finish work at 7AM.

Drive to Wal-Mart, pick the game up.

Put in PS4, go to sleep for a few hours. Wake up, play till eyes bleed.

Call boss at 7pm, a few hours before I have to go to work. Tell him I have the flu.

3 day weekend.

I bought it on PSN today, so I should have it downloaded by 26 and I will jump in right in midnight. Also my vacation at work starts in 26th October, so I will have only occasional college classes and rest of the day is completely free.

Cancelled my Amazon pre-order when it sounds like GameStop is going 9pm as well (they said call on Weds for confirmation).

Took vacation Friday. Girlfriend also gone for a week starting Friday. Play until Sunday night. Hiss at the sun each day.

Go to work like usual. I got the PS4 Pro bundle, so I'll pick it up on the way home and have to set that up first. Hopefully I can play for a few hours.

Night before launch think I'll watch a few westerns to get me in the mood, haven't decided which ones yet but definitely gonna throw a Clint one in there somewhere :P

Probably wake up early due to being anxious like a cracked out kid getting up for unwrapping presents on Xmas...cue me falling asleep on the couch from lack of sleep for a couple hours off and on as I browse the review thread and others on reset and GTAF as part of the hype train.

I plan on shutting my phone off close to the time my digital pre-order unlocks, no distractions, just pure uninterrupted gameplay bliss ;)

Bought it digitally but everything depends on how my 8 month old sleeps that day.
If its like usual play until 3:00 am then feed him and go to bed. Start again late next day.

Local GameStop has a 9pm launch. Going with a friend and girlfriend. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are my days off from work so I'm just gonna play that night.

I'm torn. I want to use GCU and buy the disk version, and sounds like get it before digital people even get it. But if the game is multiple discs, I'd rather go digital.

Depends on what time I work Friday. If I work Friday morning I'll pick it up after work that day. If I work Friday night, I'll grab it at the midnight launch. Might try getting one of my shifts covered that weekend honestly.

Does anybody know when Gamestop starts selling it?

This game will take days to get through. I'll get it, I'll install it, I'll play some, and play a couple hours a day over the next few weeks. Girlfriend knows I might be incommunicado whilst in the West.

Mine is selling it at 9. If you want to get it that night, you have to preorder and go to the store to get some kind of pass between 3 and 9 PM that day.

Weird, but that's how mine's doing it. I'll stop by the store on my way home around 6 that night and then double back at 9. It's the same store I picked up GTA V from 5 years ago...feels like yesterday.

I only played about 15% of the first game so I'm probably just going to play that on the X. No need to buy the new one yet. I'm not sure why but I struggle to stick with this game. I have the same problem with GTA5. I start it up with the intention of making progress, end up spending an hour just shooting people and riding/driving around the map, then cut it off and not play it again for a month.

Work, or more like being in a plane flying back to Europe from HQ in the USA.

I'll make up for RDR2 in the weekend though. :)

Don't have to work the 26th, and it should unlock at 10pm the 25th. So I'll probably start it up and play for 2-3 hours, then play it all day Friday and Saturday

My release day plan is to be jealous of all the people playing it. My copy doesn't have release day shipping (thanks, Amazon!) so I'm stuck waiting. On the plus side, I will most likely still be wrapping up AC Odyssey, so this gives me a little more time to complete it.
