I'm already sick of this of this games shit

OK, seriously now: Why bother saying you're going to "release a physical version" that's nothing more than a code inside an empty plastic box? I really don't get it.

I remember when the entire concept of digital downloads was sold to us as a way to make games cheaper, and the sacrifices we make on physical media, boxes, manuals, pack ins, etc, would ensure those cheaper games still saw devs making more money than they ever would with a physical copy.

I called bullshit on it from the start. I said from the start that their profit margins are gonna be significantly higher, and they have no reason to lower prices becuase gamers are already trained to pay 50 dollars. and I was scoffed and guffawed at, and called a blind fool and a luddite and everything else.

and now we have digital download games that cost 80-100 dollars.

GTA5 made a billion dollars in 3 days.

I fully expect idiotic fucking gamers to make GTA6 earn a billion dollars in half a day, and thus rewarding this shit so spectacularly that every game that follows will also be 80-100 dollars.

And those same gamers will cry.. oh lord will they cry, about the incredulity, willfully oblivious to the fact that its their very fault that it happened.

No PC release means I'll play it when it goes on sale for $15 a few years from now. I'd pay full price if it launched on PC but I'm not going to reward Rockstar for this shitty "we know you'll buy it twice" game they play.

Contrary to what the industry is hoping, this will not allow other games to sell at $80. Customers are already having a hard time justifying $70.

$100 if you want:

The entire map / all interactive world locations.

The entire story.

Ability to customize vehicles.

All of the game's vehicles.

All of personal cosmetic customization options, such as clothes, tattoos, makeup, etc.

All of the weapon customization options.

So really, the actual game is $100 dollars, that does not include Online, but there's a slimmed down poor person edition available for $80 bucks.

GTA Online 2 or w/e looks like its gonna be a monthly subscription to even access it.

Oh also there are no physical editions.

None.

All digital, the 'physical' is just a code in a box.

Now, the actual 'extra' content in the Ultimate Edition is an 80s/Vice City/Miami Vice cosmetic pack.

But the reality is that the broke ass bitch version is a stripped down version of the actual game, which is the Ultimate Edition.

You know the industry has gone downhill when they have to reiterate that it includes a "single-player experience" at launch.

I always thought Grand Theft Auto VI would have a single-player mode, but I guess some people focus more on multiplayer.

Oh well, might play it when it's on sale in five years. Also wtf is a "single player experience"? Is this going to focus almost completely on GTA Online?

Rockstar fired 31 employees for forming a union. If you care about workers rights, now is the time to put your money where your mouth is.

$114CAD for the standard edition and $142CAD for the ultimate edition, before taxes of course.

Go fuck yourselves, Rockstar. Not that I ever intended to actually buy this because, y'know, scummy greedy company, but this really seals the deal.

This is where everyone complains about the price and then goes out and buys it anyway, letting the industry know they can price gouge us.

The older I get, the more comfortable I am ignoring the hype and just waiting for something to go on sale. I'll wait years now. I don't care. Lots of other games.

I was pretty excited for Dead Island 2. Ended up waiting and waiting and then I got it for free from Epic. Worked out pretty well for me.

I'm also a PC gamer, so I won't even get the opportunity to play GTA6 for another year or two after it comes out on console.

I'm going to do the same thing I did with GTAV: wait ten years and get it for free on Epic or whatever.

I wonder if you still have to tap X to run like it's 2002. At least default that shit to the Tears of the Kingdom style where you just hold the button.

If game > 30$ Game not worth the money and you shouldn't buy it

That is the rule. I am not making exeptions and especialy not for AAA studio... I may be willing to go up to 40$ for a small indie team thats clearly steugleing and i rly love there vision, but thats as high as i would go.

From my (PC) point of view GTA 6 comes in 2028 then. OK. I'll wait. I have waited 30 years for VR to arrive, I can wait 2 years for GTA 6, big whoop.

This won't come to PC and will most certainly have the most invasive anti cheat possible. Hard pass

Website details the game actually blocks off stuff if you don't buy the most expensive version

No physical, no purchase. Period.

You will own nothing and you will pay twice as much for it

Lol im not paying a cent over $20 for it

Good thing I don't give a single fuck about getting this on release, or multiplayer, or any of the nonsense here. I'll wait you out Rockstar, and hope the rest of the gaming community is finally tired of your shit.

Noup, standard wasn't 70.

Standard was 59,99 and will always be 59,99. Never forget, never forgive.

Nobody in the right mind is buying AAA games at launch. They always go on sale a few months later. But it's GTA... so... its going to sell like hot cakes.

Seize everything this massive world has to offer with the GTA 6: Ultimate Edition, an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action around every corner. Ultimate Edition bonuses are threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story, with new items uncovered behind each chapter.

The ultimate edition doesn't include anything important, but the whole premise that they can charge $20 for something that is already in the game and is artificially hidden from you doesn't spark joy in my heart. I was going to wait for independent reviews anyway, but with this nonsense I'll probably wait for a solid discount too. Besides, I don't expect good performance on my non-pro PS5.
