I guess it all depends on how they implement it, but having to get gas/charge your car and needing to use a bank for your cash don't aound fun.

No one ever claimed this game won't sell.

I still won't be buying it unless and until there is a disc version.

Yeah, they are tilting at windmills of their own making here

Everyone expects this to be the best selling game of all time, yet some, like the guy you quoted, are apoplectic over a handful of people not buying it for a moral stance.

I may wait for PC to play the best version. I am not 14. I can wait.

Now if post launch reviews are just undeniable, from streamers I trust, I may relent and buy a console copy.

If all consoles go discless, this is probably the route I go too.

I'm going to need a deep, deep discount before I consider a discless version. If it's like every other Rockstar game, it will definitely hit Game Pass at some point and I'm just fine waiting for that.

A GTA youtuber that got flown out to Rockstar North in July and shown the game said that he was told the map was twice the size of GTA5 and 3 times the size of RDR2.

I mean, plenty of people online (vocal minority) have been crying about Sony moving to an all-digital format and this is just an example of people not caring. They will still buy games even if they're only digital

Some people (even some in this thread) had sworn they will never play this game because a physical copy is not available. Yet, they continue to walk that back as more details about the game get released.

Just absolute clowns.

I saw that. I was actually surprised the RDR2 map is smaller than GTA5. I guess it just feels larger because of having to use horses for travel.

It would be foolish to pretend GTA 6 is indicative of any sort of trend.

I think you're going to need to distinguish between the terms "play" and "purchase." I know for me, I'm certainly not going to be spending $100 on a digital purchase. I'll consider getting it when it's like $20 on some crazy sale or something or I'll play it when it hits Game Pass.

The one poster who is obsessively posting about the game even though they have no intention of buying it. They started with the No DisC No BuY BS and have now walked it back to, "well, if it's on sale..."

I think we found my stalker who's going around downvoting all my posts. What an absolute loser.

Speaking of "walking things back," notice the different language used before?

And no, I'm definitely not going to be paying $100 for this game. If you were stupid enough to believe that means there will never be a price point where I might purchase the game, that's a you problem.

Sorry, that was just an example. I saw plenty of discourse online about people railing against GTA 6 when it was first announced there likely wouldn't be a physical copy available for purchase.

But, as more information gets released, it seems like people are getting more excited (and I don't blame them) and sales are increasing even more.

Should be an awesome launch!

Seeing the racing clips, I hope this game has steering wheel support. I could use it V, but only with mods and in single player. You would get banned from online with it.

Everything looks fine, so far.

GTA is not a game I buy more than once

If it will be available on the PC, that is going to be the superior version.

If I get FOMO'd into it, somehow, I will buy it on console and not on PC

GTA is fun, but one playthrough is always enough for me

That's understandable.

I think a lot of people are champing at the bit to hear more about GTA 6 Online (assuming it exists).

It's also not even true. I've been pretty clear I won't be buying a next gen console with no physical media option, but I've always stated that's because PC is by far the better option if there is no physical option due to the storefronts that compete with each other. That moron would have someone believe I said I'm quitting gaming. Never happened.

Now, if the Helix allows PC game stores, that might be a contender also, but so far XBox hasn't made any indication that they won't include a disc drive so there's no reason to make those comparisons yet. Apparently this is just unbelievable for some.

As it relates to this game, it's simply not worth $100 to me (and many other people) with no disc.

To me, the racing clips were the parts that looked the most "fake." Just didn't look as realistic as the rest. Especially the part with Lucia on the motorcycle.

I also read somewhere that there won't be a first person option at launch, which seems odd, but I've never wanted to play Rockstar games in first person anyway so wouldn't be a big deal to me.
