Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6)
- Thread starter Noodles
- Start date
KOSM will deliver orders and issue refunds before we get GTA VI.
KOSM is definitely a character in a GTA game. His side quests are weak so players just ignore them or send another NPC over there for a beat down.
Going to be a bloodbath for any collector editions. I'm hoping any potential deluxe edition won't have early access as I think it'll put an end to the idea of midnight releases for this title but we'll see. This is the one occasion I actually want to pick up a game at midnight lol.
Base game appears it will be $80
Ultimate Edition $100
Seems no physical editions will actually come with a disc. No news yet on a collectors edition

No disc is really, really ******. So bad that I really don't want to support it but I know I can't do that. A game of this magnitude doing this and still destroying sales/income records will likely move the industry towards its digital only future even quicker unfortunately.
I'm 50/50 with Digital/Physical purchases. Usually the cheaper end will be digital though so this will be probably in the 10% of Full Price AAA digital games I've bought over the last 5-8 years. I'd prefer a physical so I can lend it to my Son and Daughter when I'm not playing or have finished it (both not 18 but close enough). This is my main bugbear really with having it Digital only at launch.
This isn't really news, just confirmation; it was rumoured months ago that Rockstar and T2 didn't want the game leaking out before launch.
Still. It's not going to stop me playing day one and I don't think many shouting "NO, not buying" will have the stones to resist tbh.
I still don't buy the potential leaks as a good enough reason for the decision. I don't like it either but games like Crimson Desert and Lego Batman had a time lock so you couldn't access it until a specific time on release day and that worked, so there's no reason why they couldn't have done that. I think this is all about having greater control over pricing for it, especially given this is only going to be on two storefronts for the foreseeable.
It's Rockstar flexing their influence over the industry; if they say no more discs going forward more studios will follow suit and a few months later paper slips inside a box will be industry standard.
Crimson Desert had a 50-60% digital download. There was just less than half the data information on the physical discs. For all that gives you, isn't that just a digital game in everything but name?
How is that any better. You still have to dload more than half the game.
It's not much better but at least it's something. It needed the initial authentication but I think after that that was all that was necessary. Still a step in the wrong direction but at least it gave users some sense of control. I'm not sure if Batman was better. I just don't like the justification. There are other ways to avoid leaks, I just don't believe this is the reason Rockstar are doing this.
I’m quite happy the no disc thing is getting a lot of heat online and some retailers are boycotting it. I think that’s absolutely boll0cks and to then hide certain shops and custom garages behind a paywall for the more expensive version. Don’t get me wrong, I wanted the ultimate deluxe whatever but there’s things on there that will be locked just to that edition that I don’t agree with
I was really hoping on a big old collectors edition too with a physical copy and steelbook. But I’ve seen the New Zealand pre order page and it’s literally just the 2 editions
