Why would you want to pay $70 for a pay to win game at all?

[–] biscuit@lemdro.id 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Huh? For £70 I'm getting -

  • Huge open world
  • Very fun and emergent gameplay
  • Likely a world with multiple competing systems and subsystems to play with
  • Incredibly detailed world to get lost and immersed in
  • Given the RDR2 writing, likely a really well written story

But you've decided to latch onto one aspect of the previous game (the Online mode) to try to be as contrarian as possible?

I sure as heck will pay £70 for the above. And so will many millions of others. Sorry if that does a poo on your hate-train.

Dude thats crazy. I havent paod full price for a game in years, have a little patience and you can get a bunch more games for that much.

Good for you! For GTA VI, I definitely wanna play it as quickly as possible and £70 is a pretty reasonable price for that.

Why the rush?

I'm with you on not paying full price in general, but they answered your main question before and you didnt acknowledge it.
