      The single player part might be decent though. I hope.

      Will totally not get it at release though. For neither of the overcooked asking prices…

        If they had actually come out with the single player DLC for GTA5, I’d be more inclined to get 6 near launch. But the only way I’ll get it is if reviews show that the single player story and world are legit as-is, because i don’t trust them to add anything later.

          I wouldn’t trust them with <anything>. But also I won’t trust most of the reviews too. Guess they will use denuvo anyway, so no piracy to check-before-buy. Unless then, they can sadly go fork themselves. But screw single-player, the money was in the shark-cards…sigh

    For once I’m glad that rockstar takes forever to release their games for PC, this way I get to see how everyone reacts to it first then decide if it’s worth it after the hype dies down

    Seen it with no man’s sky, seen it with cyberpunk, seeing it with gta6. I wonder if gamers are?

    Aren’t these greedy fuckers going to just sell shark cards for like infinite more money? Just make it free and you widen that market by a shit ton

      They sell the complete game for $100, then they make the online free to play after a couple years of people buying in. You get the FOMO bucks upfront and the whale dollars roll in steadily.

    I think most people don’t have much impulse control or long term planning. They’ll buy it at full price despite having a backlog of other games

    GTA 4 was my favourite and still is. Great single player story worth the price of a AAA game, and we later got 3 great single player story expansions.

    Now they sell us games that are split into chunks and sold as a season pass, and gta is all about online now.

    I actually wouldn’t be surprised if the story for 6 is super short. By gta 7 it will be fully online, micro transactions and no story mode

    Don’t want it will still send it to the top. Just needs some sort of boycott to ignore day one to be peak gamer.
