Can’t vote because I use a VPN but no, I try to avoid paying union busters

I’ll probably buy it for PC but they haven’t even announced if they’re making a PC port. The PC version of GTA 5 didn’t come out until 2 years after the original release date and wasn’t even based on the original version of the game. The PC port was based on the enhanced edition. I wonder if by time the game launches for PC if there will even be an ultimate edition or if it will just all get rolled into an enhanced edition or something.

Voted not interested, but your question actually has another option: “it will not be launched on my platform”, I don’t think it will have a Linux version, nor even if they will support Proton.

No, but also I was never going to buy GTA6. I loved GTA3, Vice City & San Andreas. Played for hundreds of hours. I played GTA4 for a few hours but it never really clicked the same. I also played Saints Row 2 and Saints Row 3, which I really enjoyed and scratched that same itch (those games eventually went a little over the top, but I still had fun.) When GTA5 came out all I ever heard about it was it being “online” which turned me off of the series completely. I think I later understood that there is a single player component and an online component, but by then I didn’t really care. If anything I’m likely to try revisiting GTA4 this year. Maybe.

I hardly buy anything on release, only the occassional indie.

No. Rockstar is dead to me.

I can’t vote because of my VPN… but I’ll wait for a sale before purchasing Grand Theft Auto VI. I don’t agree with spending $70+ for a game that I might enjoy for a handful of hours. No game is worth that price to me. I firmly believe in voting with my money, so I won’t support the industry that keeps inflating game prices. Plus, I never buy games at release anyway. No game seems to be perfectly polished at release now (unless it’s been in early access for over 5 years) and I’d rather wait and let others find all the game-breaking bugs and get them patched first. I remember a time when games were strictly offline. A new game released and whatever flaws it had were just part of the experience forever. Game studios were especially careful to ensure their games were as close to perfect as they could get. Now with everything connected to the Internet, game studios just release a messy pile of code and drop day-one patches to make it semi-playable, with the expectation that gamers will find and complain about other problems that the studio can patch out later. There’s no more pride in making a quality game anymore, it’s just pushing garbage as fast as possible and fixing it in post. I’ll wait maybe a year or so until Grand Theft Auto VI drops to $20-30 during a Steam sale and then buy it. I have plenty of other games to play in the meantime; I’m in no rush to experience it.

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.

When it’s less than 50€ and available as disc…

Pretty bad results for Rockstar

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.

I am one of the few in this world that GTA just didn’t appeal to, and I guess I’m lucky in that regard, seeing as how it takes so long to develop a new one.

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 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.

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. – Frost

I personally won’t because GTA isn’t my thing anymore, but if my brother gets the money by launch, he definitely wants the ultimate edition for PS5.
