Anyone knows damn well that rockstar could put the game on a disc.

This is them being a greedy corporation and wanting to maximize as much profit as possible while cutting costs, all while making you have to pay real money if you want to enter a fricking store in the game.

The video game industry has been soul less and passion deprived since COVID. No company wants to make games for the players anymore. It’s all about profit now

Dude this game better be the greatest fricking game of all time because this shite is out of control. 676 gigs? That's insane.

People literally stole physical copies of AC Shadows and leaked it. You don't think GTA with all of the leak insanity it has dealt with over the past years is not at least cognizant of that?

They obviously are going to double dip on selling physical copies which sucks. I'm not saying this is good. Merely they have been given a legitimate concern and are naturally taking it

That’s just a “67” meme brother

The game will definitely be over 100gb. If it was over 200gb I wouldn’t even be shocked.

1. Based on the size, it would likely take two discs for the full game before any updates/dlc.

2. Asset streaming from a modern m.2 ssd is SIGNIFICANTLY faster than from optical discs. They probably made the decision long ago that a disc experience would be severely compromised for what they were trying to do and decided to axe it.

No physical release at all? They're throwing out every red flag possible.


Rockstar knows the demographic that they’re marketing to. They know that the Zoomer generation is full of braindead idiots who want instant gratification and are willing to pay $100 for a fricking plastic box with nothing inside of it.

These are the same dumbasses whom Rockstar made a fortune off of in GTA Online. It all makes sense.

Rockstar must have hired a bunch of ex-CoD devs for the file size to be that large.

I might be reading misinformation so ignore me but what "core parts" are locked behind this $20 upgrade? Some cars, tattoos, guns? meh

Now Deluxe/Ultimate/Premium/Insert Fancy Upgrade Term Here cosmetic exclusives are not new to videogames, and preorder bonuses have become a plague on the industry. But usually it's the odd outfit here or cosmetic pack there. Rockstar, however, is going one step further by putting entire stores on the map of Leonida that won't be accessible unless you cough up the $20 upgrade, and quite frankly that's where I have to draw the line.

Some vague extra bits to the story which who knows what that means

It's essentially an $80 game or the same game plus a $20 DLC

These anti-GTA shills are the worst.

Grok translation:

quote:

The game will be exceptional but:

- There’s a graphical downgrade on certain screens that some refuse to see but which is real.

- The fact of depriving certain players of certain stores because they took the standard version rather than the ultimate one, shameful.

- CD version that might disappoint.

And I urge people with a true critical spirit to shine a light on these points.

That in no way detracts from the fact that the game will surely be a masterpiece. But 13 years of waiting to pump money out of customers, that’s not forgotten.

GTA 6. 2026.

Rockstar has become really scummy since they developed their shark card money printer.

The rockstar of the ‘00’s would openly mock/parody the rockstar of today.

It’s impressive that you keep being proven wrong, yet keep coming back to this thread. Give it up man. Just don’t buy the game. No one cares.

No, you said that this is new for Rockstar then we told you that they were doing this in fricking 2018 and you quit responding to us.
