    Not coming to PC until ~2032 anyway.

    Not buying a console slower than my PC just to play this at <1080p <30fps with upscaling.

    Anyone who pre-orders a digital product that can’t actually run out of stock is a true mystery to me. Just wait and see. If you’re I’ve of those eager to pay this, you’ve already waited literally years. Add a few days, see if it’s actually playable and not a buggy mess.

      To be honest, if any game had enough demand to run out of physical stock, it might be GTA6.

        Even then, though, I wouldn’t trust preorders enough to do it. Stores love taking preorders, but they don’t factor that in with the amount of stock they’ll receive.

        I remember seeing posts from folks who lined up to pick up their preorders of big games like Spider-Man and Tears of the Kingdom on release day, only to get told by the store that they didn’t actually have enough stock to honor everyone’s preorder.

          Not saying it didn’t happen. But I have preordered a small handful of games in the past, and never had that be my personal experience. One was even TotK. I feel like that speaks more towards that specific store’s management than it does to anything else, personally.

      I presume they’re also printing physical copies, in which case preorders are still useful to secure a copy day 1. Especially if you’re getting it shipped, because if you wait until day 1 to buy it then you’re actually waiting a few more days for shipping.

    Honestly, seeing as how Rockstar turned GTA 5 into a microtransaction machine after it was already a $60 game, I am so wary of buying it that I might just skip out entirely. I’m not looking to fund Rockstar’s next decade and a half with a single higher price game and whatever the new Shark Cards are.

    I’m not at all a “never preorder” guy and will happily pre order games I know I’m going to like.

    That being said this game will be the only GTA game for the next 1/4 of my life so I also feel no pressure to actually buy it on release.

      trailers are another issue I have. they are stupid and misleading. gameplay footage is all that’s needed. I don’t need some cinematic action packed slop video that doesn’t actually represent the product.

        It depends, there are plenty of trailers that show legit gameplay, or story from the actual games. If its legit and put together cinematically then im ok with it. I normally dont like straight gameplay videos since I really cant watch someone play a game and find it interesting for long. Its probably why i dont understand how people watch people play games lol, but its also not my generation either. For me the ultimate trailer experience is something original like Metal Gear Solid.

      I’m conflicted. Sure you’re being scummy, but on the other hand, you’ve got the best username on this site. Carry on
