Still haven’t played gta5 story or rdr2
R* are union busting assholes. I’m not giving them a single øre.
I mean, it’s not likely to run on the steam deck and that’s my only gaming device, so. . .
Will pirate in 5 years with dlc and if like then buy 70% off.
I probably will, but i wont be happy about it. I’ve got a boy who’ll be 15 by then attending a public school.
If it turns out basically everyone has a copy I’ll need to get him one, you know how it is, and with the license-share on our xboxs itll mean I’ll get a copy too. Hopefully the youth of today are actually a lot more politically-minded than i imagine, or the cost of living crisis will mean nearly no parents buy it for them, but I bet I’m going to be buying it.
Pretty bad results for Rockstar
Lol yeah. I expected less interest from this community, but even then I’m surprised.
Good option would be wait for it to be free on epic or something
Nah.
We’ve got GTA 5, but don’t really enjoy it. (The excessive open-world free-roam, great! The “doing nasty shit” part, not so much.) And THEN there’s the whole “they’re trying to kill discs” thing and just, nah.

I really enjoyed GTA 5. I bought it twice in two different systems. I’ll eventually play 6, but it’s gotta be for a sale. Fuck the $80 price tag, and fuck Rockstar union busting and I hope they unionize hard.
When it’s less than 50€ and available as disc…
For which you will need internet to activate/play the disc.
So at this point it became a useless piece of plastic anyway.
If it was like on GoG it would at least make sense.In GTA 5, that depends in the hardware. For Playstation and XBox, the disc was enough. No code activation required.
Do they change that, too?
The disk isn’t completely useless. It’s a physical license key that is transferable and resellable. I was fully planning to purchase a used console to play GTA 6 with a physical disk, then sell both when it came out on PC. That’s still my best plan I guess.
Why is “buy eventually” not an option? I’m not arranging my life around the PC launch, but I don’t need a sale either.
Agreed. I realized later after reading the comments, that important options such as “maybe later” or something like that is missing.
Yeah, a lot of people wait a few months for the bugs to be ironed out.
I will consider the Ultimate Edition on PC once I know what it entails.
If it’s like the current details say: Sale
If it’s semi logical: Buy at a reduced price on somwthing like GreenManGaming or somewhere.I’m not at all surprised to see the “not interested” and “wait for a sale” options being massively ahead on Lemmy. Though it’d be interesting to see how different the “not interested” crowd would be if the option were split into “not interested at all” and “interested but wont buy for political/moral reasons”.
The comments here imply most would vote for the second option, but I’m in the first camp myself. I’ve never been interested in any of the GTA games.
Yeah, I also imagine there’s lots of folks who have their handful of games in rotation that wouldn’t care to buy a new game anyways. And then also lots of folks, who just don’t have the hardware for it…
I’m in both camps, but also I think there should be a “Arrr” option. I’m also in that camp, mostly out of curiosity. I want to see what compromises they make on this game, and how they choose to accomplish certain tasks. It’s going to be a massive game culturally, and I want to be aware of what they’re doing.
Voted “Not Interested” while guessing it was the least common option, turns out it’s close to 60% ! I guess this audience is a little biased towards playing indies, maybe that’s why.
I tried 4 and 5 for a few hours each and the mechanics are all very mid. I have no idea how this series became the juggernaut it did. To me it’s as surprising as some random mobile game blowing up, like Angry Birds or Flappy Bird
Pro-indie, pro-union, and anti-union-buster.
Can’t vote because I use a VPN but no, I try to avoid paying union busters
Oh, that’s bad. I didn’t know they would block VPNs. There was an option to detect unique users, and I chose by IP (but with option Anonymize voter data). For anyone else, I guess the comment section is the only way to express opinion then. Edit: Why the downvote?
Downvotes because you decided to block VPNs… Thats what “by IP” most likely does
But this was just an explanation. Why downvote an explanation? I did not decide to block VPNs, in fact I thought it is possible to vote multiple times by using the option “by IP”. It’s the first time I used this website. And by looking at it again, I can see there is an option that says “Block VPN users” and I simply did not see it when creating and left it the default option. So blocking VPN users is an accident here, because of my incompetence, not because I decided to block them with intentions.
I use VPNs myself often, especially with YouTube, and would not wanted to have them blocked here. My apologies.
I found out there is a setting to unblock VPN users. Please try again, I hope this works now. It was not my intention to block!

I don’t think I’m going to get GTA 6 at all. I have a grudge against Take2 since they had Gearbox update all the old Borderlands games right before Borderlands 4 came out to include an anticheat software and the EULA now states that any info the anticheat scrapes can be sold to their marketing partners. So they turned all of those games into spyware. Rockstar and Take2 both stated that the already over-monitized GTA Online is actually under-monitized, so I fully expect the GTA 6 online to be more of a fucking nightmare than EA’s Battlefront 2 on release. And I also hate how as soon as Rockstar saw how profitable GTAO was, they cancelled the single player DLC and shoehorned all that shit into GTAO.
I’m tired, boss. It’ll be a cold day in hell before I spend money on a triple-A game again
they cancelled the single player DLC and shoehorned all that shit into GTAO
I didn’t know that, but always suspected it.
Yeah, they never outright stated it, but this was all found in one of the big data leaks from Rockstar. The first was mostly finished and involved Trevor working with the CIA, doing a heist on the casino, and going on James Bond/Austin Powers like adventures. The second DLC was a zombie survival scenario (probably going to be like RDR’s Undead Nightmare) with Micheal and his family. And the final DLC basically just had concept art of Franklin being sucked up into a UFO.
All the cars and the casino heist from Trevor’s DLC is in GTAO. The cars modified with sheet metal and spikes from Michael’s DLC got repurposed into a Mad Max type of update for GTAO.
