im ok with it

I preordered Mass Effect, but I’m not preordering this one. Simply not enough information yet.

I keep trying to tell myself that they're doing this because they expect people to be blown away when they finally see it.

But it's hard not to notice how little info they are releasing and wonder if this is going to end up being a massive cash grab.

They supposedly aren't changing or adding any mission to the game and the games have been out there for 20 years, so it's not like they can keep the plot/story from being spoiled.

If they would just release the music, I'm in. Every day that goes by without them releasing *something* makes me more hesitant to preload it. But I know that I'm going to end up getting it, no matter what.

If I cave and it does turn out to be a cash grab, I'm probably done with Rockstar. The Houser brothers no longer being with the company was already a major concern.

Before they lied and totally ignored single player for GTA V after it's release, I used to trust Rockstar more than any other company.

I'm dying to preload the game but I really can't understand why they won't release something about the music. I'll probably end up waiting until the 11th to see what's in there, even though I'd rather go ahead and get it.

Those basically sound just like Steam's refund eligibility requirements.

The only non-Steam PC launchers I'm willing to use are Battle.net (obvious reasons) and Origin for games I have that were Origin only at the time.

Not terrible. But it still pisses me off that they didn't bother to replace this music with other songs or something.

I’ve been watching videos on YouTube and it’s crazy how small San Andreas map is with no fog. It’s funny how good some parts of the city look but then you enter a cutscene and the faces still look like ps2 era.

I can't even just because of..

Video Killed the Radio Star – The Buggles
Japanese Boy – Aneka

But.. I'll probably cave. I knew Vice City would take the bigger hit (to me personally).
