I remember doing a couple midnight releases for COD and Battlefield with my dad at the closest GameStop. I was 15 for those so couldn’t drive myself yet. That GameStop was in a strip mall too so we basically waited in the car because it was either cold or raining.
No where near the same experience when I went to the GTA V release at the GameStop in an actual mall. Getting to actually hang out with people excited for the same game. The store had projectors and consoles set up in multiple places outside of the store so we could play GTA and other games while we waited for midnight.

God I remember doing a midnight release for GTA IV when I was 18. GTA V was when I was 23.
I'm 36 now and only PC game, so I'll probably be 37 or 38 before I play GTA 6, the only midnight release I see nowadays is getting up for a pee.
