Maybe it'll also actually get sp dlc?
Only way I buy this:
- It is priced at 60 to 70 dollars (fuck that still hurts)
- It has a solid OFFLINE story mode.
If they try pull 100 dollar bullshit or fill it with micro transactions then I am out. Also I will not pre order this game (I didn't with 5) I will wait until its out and I hear good things from the players.
Just like I did with 5. Had coworker who was bragging about the game every day. Finally and picked up a copy at Vintage Stock. This is the original PS3 version only one I have.
Point 2 is the biggest for me. I haven’t played more than 30 minutes of gta5 online. Single player story is where it’s at. Wish we got more DLC.
Same only tried it once was no fun. Yes they game was built to have multiple DLCs or hell lot more story could of been told.
Genuine question, why is $100 too much for a quality game? Completely agreed on the micro transactions though
Exactly. $100 is a lot of money, however games are cheaper than ever these days (adjusted for inflation) and $100 for no micro transactions sounds fair.
On the other hand, I wouldn’t buy it at that price either. I‘d wait for a sale…
Hm.. how much is too much, then? If 70% higher than the industry standard isn't too nuch
Wow people really didn't like my question!
To respond to yours though, I'd say it depends on how much content there is! If a game can easily take 1000 hours with no degradation of enjoyment, I would pay $100 for it
Edit to add: I realize this didnt exactly address your question, but I'm not sure what percentage since it heavily depends on the quality and quantity of content
For me personally, I find it really easy to add "hours" to a game's runtime, and I'd sooner pay more for a higher quality experience and a shorter runtime. I've spent about a fifth of that 1000 mark in both Baldur's Gate 3 and Elden Ring, and they'd have been worth $100 to me. Indiana Jones was worth every bit of the $70 I paid, and it took me under 20 hours.

I'm tempted to hold out on the FOMO and wait for the inevitable PC release

Good Lord, so much marketing about "next-gen" yet 60 still ain't a guarantee 🤦♂️
30 fps wouldn't be bad if its consistent and stable, have you ever played on a low end PC at 15-22 fps?
I grew up breaking games to make them run under minimum settings. Subnautica has (or at least had) a Dev menu or some shit that you could make the game look like utter arse.
Got me like 18fps at 480p, worth it #playable for younger me.
If I get under 100fps at 4k now I'm unhappy. How times change.

Copium. We're well beyond the days when anything under 60 FPS is not cheap and lazy craftsmanship.

Remember, they released GTAV with 30FPS first to PS5 , then they sold an upgraded PS5 version @60FPS for an additional $10 (which is free on most games).
That is incorrect. They added a bunch to that $10 upgrade.
Like a simple switch to allow 60FPS on an already capable hardware?
Like entirely new movement models, gun animations, car details, and texture fidelity for supporting a good feeling first person view.

This is false information. GTA V was backwards compatible from the ps4 version which ran at 30fps. Then they released an upgraded ps5 version that ran at 60fps. It wasnt a bad deal either.
Yeah but they still charged for the "upgrade". A lot of gaming companies give you the PS5 version of a game for free if you already own the PS4 version.
That is only if the game released on both consoles simultaneously, the ps4 version of gtav came out years ago, they deserved to charge for the upgrade...
And i am the opposite of a rockstar fanboy.
Bro if 30 fps is their target, I guarantee Switch 2 is going to get a version of this
My 144 hz monitor has ruined my ability to enjoy normal refresh rates in games. I need a support group for this ffs.
If they intend to charge for GTA VI online, I will never play it
It'll be a healthy decision
I already never intend to play it. I only care about single player. Hopefully this means the game is cheaper.
30 fps
Lol, what kind of bullshit is this? 30 fucking fps. Unplayable garbage.
you need 2 spaces and 2 enters after the first line to make it separate from the quote:

I hope they release as independent games, with a bundle deal ideally.
I dont want to buy the multiplayer on console because i dont pay for console subscriptions just to play multiplayer. I will wait for a PC release to play purchase multiplayer once and not indefinitely pay for it.

I hope so! I’m interested in buying the single player game, and have absolutely zero interest in the online experience.
I have to assume they're targeting 30fps because that would be using all the bells and whistles like raytracing and running at 4k on the consoles; which are unlikely to be able to achieve 60fps or higher with all that shit on.
And, as they have done with literally every single GTA since 3: It likely won't release on PC at the same time. It will come 1-2 full years later and when it does, will have more features and run at a higher frame rate.
I played Oblivion at 8fps, bring it on
I know that feel bro
Always looking down to get more FPS while walking around towns...
Honestly I'm fine with this as long as the graphics justifies the framerate.
I'm not. I don't have a tricked out PC to wait LONGER THAN MY SON HAS BEEN ALIVE for a 30 frames AAA game.
That isn't AAA. It's pure corporate greed.
This is going to be TARGETED 30fps for consoles...
Your overpriced pc will probably go above that. Calm down

I feel like im the only person in the world who isnt excited for this game. I dont care for GTA, they just feel super clunky and sloppy to play. (I know, no one asked.)
Spend 10 minutes trying to negotiate a doorway or ladder, and you call this clunky?!

It's comment threads like this that just show how absolutely clueless G*mers are.
idc as long as it's not coming to PC. Don't need GTA online anyway.
say it with me
EN SHITTI FICATION
First off, that fake word sucks. Second, it doesn't really apply here anyway.
it does
rockstar like any ultracapitalistic brand loves money so much they'd do anything.
30fps...because switch2...because money.
i expect their onlinestuff to be prime ea lootbox and ai upsell shit. get a yacht for 1 million.
and again a like gta5 and 4...a story so superficial it will intrigue all the 15yr old alphamales and ppl that never grew up.
why dont you just join this milc metaverse stuff? more enshittification without the extra hurdles.
