a physical edition which isn't physical. Fuck this game.
Only a code in a box? Like there will no disc at all? Whack!
its either the game is too big or they are trying to prevent people from pirating and leaking the game
Code in a box. This is not outselling V. I am certainly never buying a POS digital version.
amazon had 39 million orders for it already
Not a fan of any of this. Preordering a code in a box like there is any chance of a shortage when dozens of millions of cases and codes could have been printed for this in ample time. A deluxe edition with about a dozen different pieces of content, including whole shops and stores including seemingly the only car interior customization shop, pulled from the main game to sell an extra $20 edition. The first digital and multiplatform $80 game, which will surely convince other publishers that their games are popular enough to justify the same price tag, when none of them are GTA, and full price sales for most publishers are already lackluster at $70.
Surely the term 'physical edition' and 'contains a code in the box' are mutually exclusive of one-another :|
I would rather wait the time it come to PC if it wont come with a disc on console. It feels so insulting they can stick their code in the lsfgserliiuh
Lol @all them thinking it would be 100bucks
Code in a box fuugging SUCKS thou
So you are feeling relieved about the $80 price tag now? (+ripped content)
Lol
I would think most gamers are going to get the $100 version to get the full game.
Code in a box is the most insulting part. At least the $80 is presumably due to just how much content is in the game
pre order is a distraction from the physical copy.
It drives me crazy how people on x don't realise how even more shitty it is of losing physical copies for a GTA game. Every GTA at launch has a very specific soundtrack that becomes part of the game’s identity and our memories. Those songs are what we replay years later on YouTube. They instantly take us back to the exact feeling of the game when it dropped.
With a physical version you can always go back and experience the game exactly as it was at launch with the original music. Without a physical copy, on consoles you risk losing that forever because Music licenses expire and songs get removed or replaced over time. Consoles are closed systems controlled by Sony and Microsoft. Mandatory updates can silently change or delete parts of the original game.
On PC on the other hand there will always be ways to get the original launch version w/ dumps, downgraders, mods, etc..
But on console, once it’s altered, it’s often permanent.
Console players don’t understand what they’re losing: the ability to preserve its cultural identity. you’re just renting an experience that the publisher can change, degrade, or censor whenever they want.
It’s about having actual control over what you buy and protecting our gaming culture for the future.
This all looks gross. Locking game features behind version paywall, no discs and for $80, which means what? £90/$90? Poor form Rockstar... or well, 2K it's expected. Even pre-order bonus is just one month free to GTA+?
I'm wondering if I should wait another year and see if the ps6 gets a launch date and just get the enhanced version instead, which would be a launch title no doubt. Theres enough quality games to last me another 2 years
Ouch, Standard $129.95 AUD... no thanks.
I thought it would be $90, I was wrong. I feel like those hoping for $70 had a delusional take in that regard. And code-in-box? So stupid.
Hope this flops, I can't wait for the PC version, not even to pirate it.
I wish they'd go back to old days. All we need is one store front. All these extra things on the side just takes time away from what made gta truly great to begin with.
Can't wait for millions of people with their $100 purchases to download hundreds of gigabytes all at once.
That’s why the preloading starts on Nov 12 and the “physical” version with the download code also releases Nov 12. There will be plenty of time to download.
Curious why they would go with code-in-box? I can’t imagine this being a cost cutting measure, especially with the game having supposedly cost over 1B USD to develop. Distributing a physical disc would add virtually nothing to the overall costs.
Would this better quash any possibility of piracy? It’ll certainly put a stop to the game leaking early, which is always a welcome sight.
This is 100% to prevent spoilers. Even if you buy a physical edition weeks before the street date, it won't matter, as it is just a code for the eventual digital version anyway. Therefore, there will be ZERO TikTok's spoiling anything before everyone can play :)
If Rockstar does come out and announce that true physical will be coming shortly after launch, then okay yeah, this is a very good call IMO. Best of both worlds! No spoilers for those looking to go in day one, totally blind; maybe some spoilers for those who are okay with waiting a little longer.
come on guys seriously stop this crappy argument I read that every where this is ridiculous like are you guys some knights sent by rockstar to spread that?
Better to be called a “knight sent by rockstar” than somebody who can’t reason beyond “big business = bad!”.
What a luck that I never been that way then ! Also sure that would never simp for big company for free tho...
This is absolutely the answer. If Rockstar really wanted to put it on a disc, this would be a 2 disc set like Red Dead 2.
Other suggestion I saw was to cut out the used game market.
Second hand market was flooded with GTAV copies+ It also helps to keep the price higher.
In my mind, if GTA VI doesn't cost more than $80, no other game should cost more than that from now on.
They make most of there money from gta online. They could give the game away for free and still make billions.
From now on a year or two, or for now on forever? Everything goes up.
So you are saying that no game dev ever deserves another pay rise ever in their life.
Bit harsh.
Correction; GTA is being sold for $100, with an $80 budget version.
The $80 version will have 99.98% of the content. The bonuses in the ultimate edition will be a drop in the ocean if Rockstar’s past releases are anything to go by. The amount of content packed into their games is massive.
