Only way I buy this:
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.
I'm tempted to hold out on the FOMO and wait for the inevitable PC release
I think it will be 80 dollars, with bigger editions available, eg. including online mode. For me, the 30fps is the most annoying, I was never a performance fanatic, but I’m used to 60 now.
What why they lower it? That make no sense with the new hardware of PS5 and Xbox Sx or whatever it's called.
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.
I only recently started playing again specifically because I found out that all the missions in online mode that required you to be in a public lobby are now able to be ran in a private lobby. Playing in a solo lobby is basically like getting more SP story (there are story missions in GTAO; it's not all races and DM). Don't have to deal with cheaters or asshats.
Does it work on PS3?
Genuine question, why is $100 too much for a quality game? Completely agreed on the micro transactions though
If the biggest game of the decade charges $100, every triple A game will charge the same, and other games will probably be more expensive as well, and in most cases it'll be more money for the same steadily decreasing quality, at least in the triple A market.
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 $100 for it
Edit to add: I realize this didnt exactly address your question, but I'm not sure what percentage since it heavily depends on the quality and quantity of content
Loved all gtas. Never played any for anywhere close to 1000 hours. Probably closer to 100. So that's like... 10$? Seems fair to me, no?
Funny enough, all the games in which I have more than 1000 hours are all f2p.
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.
The only full price game I recall ever buying was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (back when £35 was the standard "full price" price point). Now that one was worth it, but no other AAA game that I can think of has justified the cost to me. Once we're talking about that amount of money there's a lot of other things I would get more enjoyment from.
I think I paid about £10 for GTA V. I'd maybe go to £15 or £20 these days, but beyond that I simply have other things I could play.
Meh I'd drop 100 plus on standard night out. I dont buy many games but buying God of War Ragnarok for 30 and getting 100 hours of entertainment was well worth it, to the point I regret not buying it full price day one.
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…
