I don't believe this at all, but they're still gonna have to make a really, really good single player mode for me to get this game. I'm not trying to play online constantly and I'm not trying to pay a bunch of micro transactions.

I'm still pretty annoyed at how they left all of the features that make GTA what is for only online play. GTA 4 had such an awesome story and dynamic world with so many interesting characters.

GTA 5 just felt empty in comparison. I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I'm just here for story mode.

They're gonna make a stink about 150, then charge 80 for the base version. 90 for the digital deluxe. 125 for the collectors.

i don't ever play online or the campaign, i just like driving around and crashing into shit

[–] takeda@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Make that two of us. I think maybe IV had worse graphics, but other than that it was superior to V. Especially when you include those two extra DLCs and how interestingly those stories intertwine.

If you're in the minority I'm there with you. I just want to play offline story mode. I have exactly ZERO desire to play GTA or RDR online.

I will say, the RDR2 world was significantly more immersive than GTA V was (though there was a lot of years between them). I actually wanted to explore the world and uncover all the random shit. With GTA V yeah it was fun to drive around and blow shit up but there wasn't really engaging content outside the story.

I'll be curious what GTA VI holds, but I'm not going to pre-order or even purchase on day one. I'll wait and see how things go.

RDR2 has my all time favorite game world.

I absolutely love interacting with it.

Between quests I avoid fast travel so I can hunt and explore.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Agreed. I will say the companion activities like golf or tennis were fun in GTA V, but the basic immersion stuff of like needing to eat, sleep, take care of my horse, etc, while silly or tedious to some, really kept me engaged in RDR2. They even had a basic hunger system in San Andreas. I’m hoping for something like that. And on the topic of horses, they really need the car insurance system from multiplayer to be integrated. It’s frustrating to customize a rare vehicle and have it disappear because you decided to start a mission.

It's just inflation. The value of a dollar in 2036 is a lot less than now.

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You know, I've read stories on how money was so worthless after Black Friday that workers transported their wage with a wheelbarrow. How come that nowadays, inflation just means that everything is fucking expensive, but you still get the same jack-shit paycheck?

I'm pretty convinced it's not inflation that drives up prices, it's greed.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

In the past inflation was seen as a bad thing and destabilizing to an economy so governments put actual effort into making it go down. The easiest way to do that is to keep employee wages in line with inflation, but at some point someone, probably with an R next to their name, decided that that was evil socialism, and so shouldn't be done.

So now inflation goes up and the government just sits there and goes "oh nothing we can do".

My uncle works at rockstar and he said that gta6 is going to cost $150 a day to play but you can earn real money by murdering people and selling drugs irl

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

If you hum The Final Countdown while it's loading, it'll let you play original Vice City instead!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Every time I wait for someone to stop at a light and I try to open their car door to pull them out of their car and steal their car, their door is locked.

[–] nezbyte@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

My aunt’s brother said mostly the same thing. You’ll also get a small discount on the game for every person you recruit to play/pay daily. If the person you recruited then recruits someone else, you’ll get a shared discount. I plan to preorder early so I can finally be my own boss.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There's absolutely no evidence that this is going to be the case. All that happened is that the CEO made a dumb comment and CEOS are always making dumb comments doesn't mean anything.

[–] hactar42@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I assumed he was prepared for something higher than $50-60, like maybe $80. I really can't imagine any company trying to justify $150 for a game. That price would drive more people out of the market.

I love GTA and Red Dead Redemption and I make 6 figures, and there is no way in hell I'm paying $150 for a game. But I would pay $80. I wouldn't be happy about it, but I would still pay it.

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

AAA titles are already selling between 90 and 130 CAD depending on the version. 150 for the new GTA would not surprise me.

I am happy I'm a patient gamer so aside from very specific titles (Elden Ring) I rarely buy day 1.
