Physical is 7 disc and NEED 5GB additional download.
1. the game must have 5GB patch installed, "install and play" is only a dream.
2. the patch only available via internal updater
3. i am very skeptical the internal updater will have proper resume/fix and multi-connection capability.
4. i am pretty sure it wont use torrent (i think its only blizzard that have enough sense to use torrent for updater).
glad i did not buy it.
EDIT:
btw im pretty sure the pirates buying this on shopping mall (probably sold around 30USD) will have
1. less installation disc.
2. "install and play" without any hassle.
ugh i hope no other games follow this annoying Rockstar business model. Playing original/legit should be EASIER than pirated version.

Firstly pirated has always been easier than consumer version, it's nothing new and whether or not it's justified is rather irrelevant. Secondly, a 5Gb day one patch in this day and age is completely normal whether for PC or Console and in fact far more prevalent on console from what I can tell. I think you're being far too dramatic and really don't see anything wrong with this. 5Gb download for physical vs 60+ download for digital is quite reasonable.
That's a bit unfair in my opinion. From ps360 to ps4one, Rockstar did balance well a bit of improvement on every area. Next gen got pretier pixels + higher population density + more variety of pedestrians and vehicles + longer view distance + more physics + more songs on radio + more graphical effects + better textures + addition of First Perso + etc...
GTA is not a single one of these elements, its all of them together, and R* knows this better than anyone, and they did split their efforts acordinly.
Had they kept graphics equal and only turned population/car density to 11, there'd be people saying "They are just building busier versions of the same game and it sells super well" in fact, they might not have said it was selling super well, because maybe the game would sell a little less had they gone that rout.
Puting it as if its a lazy profit thing is very short sighted too. Increasing density and leaving graphics untouched (which includes new content: reworked textures, models, new shaders...) is much cheaper development wise. -Get that variable that defines the amount of character to be sapawned on this area at this time of day, change it to 10x its current value. Done.
Finaly, compare GTA to Saints Row for exemple, and you'll see that R* isn't taking, by any means, the lazy route. GTAV could have come a year or more, earlier, with half the map size, a bunch of repeated generic buildings all over the town (each building is unique and inspired on real LA buildings with remarkable atention to detail), no three character dynamic, a fraction of the peripheral content that one in every 100 players ever ends up encountering, and the thing would have sold just as well uppon release.
R* didn't because they wanna release a good game. Might not be you cup of tea, and that's fair, but for what they've set out to create, i think they did a damn good job.
Yeah I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to what people like about these games. I have not been able to get into any GTA, Saints Row, Watch Dogs, Crackdown, Just Cause, etc. I find them to be simple superficial urban simulations with appropriate contemporary eye candy. I don't find the campaigns interesting and the "drive around and cause mayhem" thing doesn't have lasting appeal.
So yeah I would be cool with a major change in approach to what these games do. Whatever Silent Buddha was trying to describe with a more diverse/dense city simulation. But seeing as it's not gonna make the gang banger campaign mode more exciting for me, maybe they should keep on producing what sells millions of copies every single time.

Just Cause is actually much closer to a 3rd person Far Cry with a grappling hook than any GTA. There's hardly anything urban about it.
So GTAV in 1st person on Occulus Rift?

Well, GTA V for PC is finally here, installed on my computer and i even got to play it for few minutes. So I guess I now belive that GTA V was really realeased for PC - finally.
But... yeah. Several hour install from 7 DVDs, then download 5 GB patch (took only 12 hours), then stuck in infinite rockstar social club update loop, first two missions are shooting gallery and short driving segment (with bad bumper car physics compared to GTV IV) and then crash and another 350 MB patch install loop (downloading it 3rd or 4th time). Le sigh.
This reminds me of MMO lauches.

Seems like we need a Remaster Race.

When will this thing stop downloading patches?
I've been downloading >300MB patches every day..
I've been downloading >300MB patches every day..
That's strange, only 1 has been released as far as I know
They released one today (~2xx MB on Steam, 5x MB + 3xx MB on Social Club
Ah yes you're correct, I didn't even notice since Steam just does it in the background. 200Mb patch.
Here's the patch notes.

Chromatic Aberration Crystal Power Make Up!
That's actually chromatic aberration correction, present in most latter oculus rift software, it's meant to counter balance the CA introduced by the oculus lenses giving the viewer a correct image. It mostly works, except for the brightest and darkest of colors I think.
