Better off waiting until it’s down to normal game prices anyways.
What is this, 2005? No one should be losing sleep over GTA6. Just more iterating over the same thing that surely was awesome more than 20 years ago, but today? They are such a victim of their own success, they can no longer afford to take the risks required to continue to innovate.
If you weren’t 100% certain that GTA6 would release as a console exclusive at launch initially, you’re an idiot. This is how Rockstar has launched every game since the Xbox 360. Furthermore, I can assure you the PC release will come about a year later, and will be the buggiest mess ever launched for the first month.
RDR2 pc release was 13 months later and GTA5 pc release 17 months later. I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes at least 2 years with GTA6.
And NOTHING HAS CHANGED in twenty years - yeah? Not a fucking thing that should shift how they release games. Consoles are still sooo different from PCs, with their AMD x64 CPUs and AMD RDNA GPUs.
OK but Take Two is greedy as all hell. Their previous launches taught them that gamers are willing to double-dip so why would they pass up on the opportunity to earn twice?
How do imbeciles of this calibre get jobs as writers for a large public is beyond me. The editor who approved this is very much to blame too. This level of trash is easily replaced by AI, don’t complain when you get replaced when the only thing you produce is indistinguishable from AI generated slop to rage bait some nerds.
PS: Donate to Raymond, uBlock origin is a gift to humanity.
It isn’t that bad. It also stated new facts to me, like that GTA is owned by Take-Two.
Have you been living under a rock for the past 15y?
It isn’t that bad. It also stated new facts to me, like Viri4thus@feddit.org is new to sarcasm.
There’s US americans on this platform, /s is mandatory.
Hahaha. If you’re an American yourself, I tip my hat to you sir.
If you don’t already have a console it isn’t worth buying. If it ever gets ported to PC you should wait a year or two for all the inevitable bugs to get worked out and possibly an upscale mod as well.
If you can’t wait that long then I’ve a hell of a real estate deal for you where that money would be better spent.
GTA games always get ported to PC. I don’t understand why people think that VI will be any different. Y’all do this with every new release.
We’ll be playing this game on PC by Q4 2026, spring 2027 at the very latest.
Patience, the price will drop and the game will be just as good
Is it not releasing to PC at full price in 1-3yr?
Yes, but then ask you need to do it continue to wait for a sale or reduction in price. The patient gamer life has definitely grown on me, with a few exceptions like helldivers 2
That just means I’ll buy GOTY edition for $5 years later if I buy it at all lol
I’ll buy it when but drops to $19.99. probably Steam summer sale 2028.
I’ll buy it for $0 when the PS5 gets emulation in Linux, just like Bloodborne
Yup. This is how I treat exclusives.
Even if GTAVI launched on PC at a normal price, it would still be worth it to wait. You can get it on sale, and the game will have been fixed, and there will even be content updates.
Patient gamers, people. Don’t even think about release dates. Early access? Advanced access? What the hell do I care? There are still NES games I should get around to.
Content update? You mean online mode updates? All single player will get is a radio station downgrade after a year or so.
This will be the first GTA I don’t preorder or play on day one.
Just wait. It’ll be the same as the last one with a slightly different city.
The city shape will be the same, the signs will be different
Consoles shape how games are played because of their controllers, and how we they are optimized; the aim is still 30-60 fps ffs…
We’d all be better off with PC only. Fuck consoles!
PC Master Race ✊
Yeah that was never “funny” but it’s way less funny now nazis are actually in power again.
It’s funny to me, I don’t need your opinion, thanks.
Then why are you posting things in public? That’s the definition of wanting everyone’s opinion.
Ok, we want to go with logic? Because I’m telling them that from now on I don’t need their opinion, and that whatever they said is not welcome. Do you see how that works? So I’ll repeat, I don’t need your opinion either. And just to drive it home here’s a preemptive block. Get out of my face with your stupid gotchas and your half-thoughts. Like, I’m not even replying to you.
no one asked
Yes, precisely, that’s what I’m saying. Even thought I didn’t ask you either. And block.
That’s OS based not device
Their controller, CPU and GPU are the bottleneck, not the OS.
If we aren’t OS limited then we aren’t gamepad limited because you can just use a kb/m
I mean games got slower because of controllers (think arenafps and boomer shooters).
But that’s an OS imposed limitation not a hardware imposed one
You’re probably better off playing through San Andreas again.
Consoles are glorified DRM machines so it’s no wonder, really.
Well that and extremely standardized platforms, with all the benefits that entails.
I used to think simultaneous launch was good and desired. Then the first Monster Hunter simultaneous launch happened this year and now I’m not so sure. A lot of it’s problems were forecasted by the state of Dragon’s Dogma 2 but not to such an extent, I can’t help but wonder if a delay would have helped.
I honestly got tired of the “Xbox vs. PlayStation” BS they were pushing well over a decade ago. I actually bought a Nintendo Wii during that generation’s console war, because Nintendo was the only company just doing their own thing and not trying to compete for best graphics, processing power, etc.
But Nintendo consoles were limited in themselves. Nintendo doesn’t like to share their properties, and they very rarely port classics to modern systems. So if my Wii ever broke, the only way I could play my games again was to find another Wii. Even if they stopped making them; is have to find a second-hand shop and buy a used console.
I almost gave up on the gaming world, until I found Steam. Any games I buy there stay in my library forever, even if they’re removed from the store. And they emulate the original supporting hardware, so even classic games are still playable on a modern Windows 11 PC.
Thanks to Steam, I have a renewed interest in gaming and have built up a library of nearly 4,000 games over the last decade and a half.
I don’t bother with console gaming anymore. If I miss that style of gaming, I have a Razer controller plugged into my computer that I can use instead of my keyboard and mouse. If a game is exclusive to console… Oh well, maybe I’ll catch it if/when it ports to PC. But until it does, that’s a lost sale for that developer/publisher. I’m not going to feed the exclusivity BS by buying games while they’re only available on one device.
I’ve been saying, I’d really like to play Alan Wake II, but as long as it’s an Epic Games exclusive, I can’t buy it. If they want my money, they’ll have to allow it on Steam too. And since it’s owned by Epic Games, not just published by them, it’s gonna stay exclusive. So I guess I’ll never get to play that game. I don’t agree with Epic Games’ predatory practices, so I will never give them a penny of my money.
I love steam for their contributions to the linux community.
That said, accusing Epic of predatory practices while ignoring Valve’s clear gambling problem with minors for CS content and absolutely insane 30% cut, is the most distilled form of brain rot I’ve read on this platform in a while.
Seen worse brainrot in some parts here.
I think I will never buy a console. They aren’t as expensive as good gaming PCs, but way to limited in their capabilities for me. Modding is very cool in many games, and almost never possible on consoles. In addition, waiting a bit after the release is also often a good idea, since bugs will be fixed and if the game is actually shit, you will know that before buying
