This means, 5 million people decided to spend 60 dollars again for slightly better lighting effects and a faulty first-person mode. GTA V is a fantastic game, but not something I want to buy twice just for the glory of it. I feel like some consumers would think "Hmmm, I bought this last year. I don't really want to buy it twice, because that makes sense."
But no, I am always wrong. Wrong about the sad, soulless consumers who get on their knees and bow down to these rehash games. Games that are broken, rehashed, unorigional, rushed, overhyped, etc. They all sell millions. Millions upon millions of copies, while the company is showering in money are wallets are empty and we can't afford to do anything but let the industry take us by the balls. The only people to blame are ourselves, we are the one who buys this stuff constantly. I am ashamed that a human being on my home planet can't have the IQ level to distinguish if they are getting cheated or not. It's like these big companies are dictators almost, we buy EVERYTHING they shove into a plastic box, everything. We spend thousands a year sometimes for some people. All that money poured into useless hunks of plastic garbage. How sad man can be sometimes.... Please stop this consumers, just stop it. You are the only reason the gaming industry is so lifeless and awful now. You wanna know why companies like EA and Ubisoft are such @$$holes? It's because YOU, the PEOPLE, buy their stuff even if you know it is garbage. Have fun living a life of being the gaming industry's B_tch, and I'll go off and play games that I enjoy, not gmes that people force me to enjoy. Thank you very much.
I got it free with my PS4 so no big issue for me.
So you didn't like it as much as some other people. Get over yourself.
i never purchase it on ps3 or x360 so it a new game to me worth it
