  Doesn’t have to. Already made bank. People are preordering a game which they could just wait a day and download on day one.

  At this point it doesn’t matter.

  Say what you will about Rockstar and their shitty, worker-exploiting, union-busting practices, but their last two new games, GTA5 and RDR2, were some of my favorite games of all time.

  I can’t imagine the game being anything other than phenomenal.

  (Doesn’t mean I’m going to buy it for either my Xbox or my PlayStation.)

  How can it not? For most people, it will be a newer and better GTA 5. And that’s all it needs to be. From the looks of it, it seems to even surpass that expectation. Maybe lot of people will be disappointed in the beginning, but only because they don’t know the entire game yet. It this does not turn out to be a Cyberpunk 2077, then based on Rockstars track record, we can expect them to deliver.

    I’m waiting for a few days after release, to check what the real plyers say. Still - if it’s at gta v level without too many bugs, i will buy. Yeah and I’m aware, I’m just renting it for the privilege of playing it this year.

    If I find another fun game, I might also wait.

    If I want to play it in the future and lose access - I’ll set sail on the high seas.

    Even cyberpunk was eventually good supposedly. I was excited about it but skipped it due to the launch issues and just never got around to actually getting it.

      At launch it was good too. For me. There was no shortage of video evidence of the game going haywire for other folks, but it worked quite well for me. I don’t know what I did differently other than playing on PC. Its bones were good.

        The PC was the best version. Not every hardware and software was as much buggy, and maybe you just didn’t do out of the box stuff that would trigger more issues. Just guessing here. It was mostly a catastrophe on the last gen consoles (PS4 and XBOne).

        Same experience for me on PC. Seeing all the talk about people’s negative experiences of it at that time was strange and unfortunate when I had only experienced two or three game-crashing bugs that were easily avoided once I found them. I wish or hope that more people had similar experiences to ours and just maybe weren’t as vocal or something. I really enjoyed that game then and still do from time to time

  The previews and leaks have looked pretty stunning. I’m not buying in at full price, or on PS5, but I do think it looks incredible.

      Not really interested in putting an LLM decomp project on my PC.
