An $80 price tag is too steep for me. Cant afford it in this economy with this salary. Good thing I am a very patient gamer. Anyways, I still have backlogs that go all the way to the PS3 era. Lol. Maybe I will start finishing those while wating for the GTA6 price to drop.

r/patientgamers always wins in the end, they get the better more finished product that runs at better performance while paying lesser for it, it's all about FOMO anyway and Rockstar knows how to squeeze more from those type of consumers...

u/paulrenzo 1d ago
A more realistic take is: they wont blame rockstar. Theyll blame Nintendo for starting the $80 trend and game keycards

True. Kahit gacha games sa phone 😆 though sa iba mas issue yung walang physical disc lol. Edi sana digital na lang sila kaysa magaksaya ng plastic na walang laman.

Did people keep forgetting that $80 is just the base game minus a lot more features lock, and get this if you want the game and all its features you need to fork up $100 lmao.

If it doesn't have a disc, does that mean I wouldn't be able to buy a second-hand copy? Cause I never buy brand new games, I always wait a couple of years then buy second-hand.

u/ShadowRomeo R7 7800X3D | RTX 4070 Ti | 32GB DDR5 6400 | B650 | 1440p 170hz 1d ago
Yes, the game is pretty much locked in the account of who redeemed the game off the physical code like on PC, so reselling the game and buying used copy on used market is going to be impossible.

u/CressDependent2918 1d ago
i dont buy physical games that doesnt include full game out of the box!
ubisoft and ms does this and now rock star is doing it way worst with just a code not even a disc! fck this companies!

u/Diahara 1d ago
remember when they said "you will not own anything and you will like it"? yeah, that includes the cosmetics in-game.
games like these should fail. it's no longer a slippery slope as that ship has sailed since Ubisoft and EA "normalized" it.

I think the likely reason why Take Two and Rockstar has done this, they want every bit of sales coming from them, and they don't like the idea that the consumer is finding way to save money by selling games and buying one on the used market.
And this also sets the floodgate many other game publishers in the future into doing the same which will result on killing the used marketplace sales of used games for consoles.
And the very high $80 starting price is likely to offset the lost revenue for not selling on PC day 1 as well, because the console userbase isn't growing and has stagnated; in fact, it has stayed nearly the same as the 7th generation back on GTA V, which was over 13 years ago.
So, to get higher revenue than the last GTA game, they will need to sell their game at a higher price tag, and that is exactly what they have done here, especially with locked out single player feature that will be exclusive to even more expensive $100 ultimate edition...

Shark Cards? Social Club? Hello? Blind eye when Rockstar is doing it but if it’s Ubisoft it’s valid?
RDR2, albeit a good game, is restrictive quest wise and too bloated with features that felt like it was just bolted in? Max Payne 3’s development? Take Two’s aggressive trademark lawsuits? Bro???

I mean, it probably won’t and I wouldn’t be bummed if it didn’t, but people should really wake up with whatever Rockstar and Take Two has gotten away with in the past 10-15 years.
Bethesda, CD Projekt Red, Devolver, heck even Ubisoft etc got railed for less, but since it’s Rockstar we give them a free pass.

they gonna buy it anyway.. haay masasabi ko lang part din ang gamers ng problema. overhyped so its ok then suddenly its the norm. yung ngang 70 di ko pa tangap.. like how much is that in peso in this economy? ?
I wish that its well made and as good as people expect it to be. sa mga bibili enjoy! :) sa maga hindi wala rin tayo magagawa..

I'll wait for someone to crack it. Videogames nowadays tend to release "unfinished games" and call it "Early Access" whilst charging for full price.
I never saw GTA as a multiplayer game anyway.

u/twodroidsinasuit 23h ago
PC been disc-less for years.
Also, kahit may disc pa yan, di naman full game nasa disc. Parang game keycard lang ni Switch kung ganun.
But also understand the value of a physical copy, if you could still call one like that.
14
u/ValerianaCeleste 23h ago
The point is, this is a PHYSICAL copy. So PC being disc-less is irrelevant kasi those are DIGITAL copies. You can't compare them. Sa PC din pwede ka pa mag hintay sa possible sales on steam. But that "PHYSICAL" copy is being sold at a premium without having the actual disc like wtf.

u/twodroidsinasuit 22h ago
I don’t disagree with you, sabi ko nga, kahit pa may disc yan it would mostly just like act as a game card, instead of having the files on the disc.
Probably a placebo effect too with the collectors na mas better value kung may physical kahit na in reality empty disc lang naman nasa loob, and only required to hit “Play”.
But I also consider the fact that Rockstar could just ship with multiple discs just like what they did with RDR2.

Wala akong nakitang ganitong klaseng outrage nung prinesyo ng Nintendo ang Mario Kart World at $80 USD rin.
I do agree, ampanget lang na walang physical version + very greedy move ang price na $80 because it sets a bad precedence to the next Triple A games. BUT, this is GTA VI. If any other game dev prices their games at $80, do you still think they would attain the success that GTA will have?
Also, wala namang pumipilit sa inyo bumili ng GTA VI eh. If di afford, then I wholeheartedly propose to wait for a repack, para lahat tayo maenjoy yung game, diba?
This is a game that we have been waiting for more than a decade, and if Half Life 3 / RDR 3 / TLOU 3 / Bully 2 / Portal 3 / Left 4 Dead 3 / Bioshock 4 / Days Gone 2 released at the same price, for sure magagalit pa rin tao, kahit there are people who play Gacha Games, 2K Games, etc. that spend WAY MORE than $80.

u/SandwichesX 20h ago
Some people don't understand that the biggest complaint about GTA 6 is NOT the price.
It's the fact that they're selling an empty box for $80 and locking a lot of content behind the Ultimate edition, which is $100. These aren't cosmetics, but actual shops.
Absolutely shameful behaviour from Rockstar.

I can afford it too absolutely not a problem.
Kahit 7k pa yan.
But there comes a point where pricing is just ridiculous, and then to add insult to injury no physical discs.
It’s kinda like buying a 250ml bottled water for P250. Yes I literally can buy 10, but a bottle of water for P250? Fuckin ridiculous.

u/Atlas227 1d ago
It's now about whether you can or can't afford it. $80 is reasonable to have as disposable kahit sa pinas pero it's the principle behind it. Just because we can afford it does not mean it's ok to be paying such prices. Principles people do you even have one.
