Will wait till launch and probably get it for my PS Portal.

 

[VitoNotVito]

I am sorry for asking this - because I really should not - what is the point of preordering digital copy of the game?

 

[keefged4]

What's the point? It's digital only at this stage.

 

[Bodom78]

Did you not see the extra goodies you get? Lol. Maybe some of that stuff won't be there post launch without that order locked in.

In this case, there's no physical disc so don't need to do anything now. I do want the extra stuff so if that's all behind pre-order I'll order within the last few days leading up to launch.

I did just see the price in Aussie Dollarydoos and god damn! $159.95 for the Ultimate edition.

That's more then I spend on games most years, I mean with sales you can get so much good stuff for that amount!

Stupidity?

 

[Lucifers Beard]

No, it's pointless pre-ordering this early. There hasn't been any gameplay shown, it doesn't release for another 5 months and there are literally no benefits to pre-ordering this early. If I do preorder it won't be until the end of October or maybe even when the preload goes live.

 

[Memati187]

 

[Radical_3d]

Shut up. Yes it's another thread.

 

[Stallone]

No, and I will not play this game. It's just a game, and even if video games take such a huge place in my life, the new face this release will give to this industry is not going to be on me.

100 dollars for a code is what it'll be from now on, and the only ones that should think it's ok are the shareholders.

Can't wait for the even next step of a unique game pass full of far right ads


Anyway, I looked at this news remembering when I got ahold of GTA III, and put it in PS2 and I immediately had to realize that it's over.


Edit: Sorry, every one should do as he pleases of course

 

[winjer]

You should pre-order, because those digital codes might run out...

FOMO is one hell of a drug for some people.

 

[Revolutionary]

I'll preorder one hour before release for the pre-order bonuses, as God intended

 

[DAHGAMING]

I am sorry for asking this - because I really should not - what is the point of preordering digital copy of the game?

Im in the UK and im worried our government will buy all the illegals a copy and limit the sales to the hard working man.

 

[alienator]

Preordering a code in a plastic box , i cannot even imagine how dumb people are doing this.

not being able to install the game from disc or multiple discs, i will be putting 5$ on the servers being smoked for weeks after release day, as millions and millions of people are going to download this on day one. its gonna be a glorious meltdown.

 

[Trunx81]

I`ll wait for the impressions. If its another chore like RDR2, I'll pass. I don't need a "life is hard" simulator, got that IRL.

 

[RoadHazard]

No, why the hell would I pre-order a digital only game?

 

[Esppiral]

Why would I preorder a digital item?

 

[Pelao]

Pre-order an 80-dollar digital-only game?
lol

 

[Little Mac]

I'm not preordering until I see actual gameplay on the PS5 Pro.

 

[Lootlord]

Waiting for a deep sale on PC... see you in 5 years.
Got like 500 titles in my backlog, couldn't care less, haven't even started Read Dead 1 & 2

 

[TVexperto]

Honestly….I'm not playing this if it's 30fps, I'll wait until a next gen version is released. Plenty to play so for me I will wait and see what performance is like and make my mind up then.

Absurd how people are so keen to give Strauss Zelnick their money immediately 6 months before the game even comes out.

There will be a performance mode at launch

 

[Filben]

Nope. It's not like that a digital game can be sold out. And since the "physical" edition won't contain a disc, no need there either.

 

[bellome]

I am not that dumb

 

[LokusAbriss]

Guys, please preorder, so Rockstar knows how many copies they need to upload to the servers.

 

[Moses85]

Digital Only…

FU T2

 

[Puskas]

• The Ultimate Edition 'bonuses' are whack as fuck; both for being lame in general but also for being paywalled behind the Ultimate Edition.
• Still haven't see any gameplay.
• Digital only.

 

[notseqi]

where would i put the disc

 

[Kenneth Haight]

There will be a performance mode at launch

Then I will definitely buy at launch. Wish they would hurry up and do this for RDR2, but at this stage they will probably wait till after GTA6 releases.

Recently started playing that game on PC and it's sad it's stuck at 30 on consoles. It's glorious.

 

[balls of snow]

Steamsale is today so no.
Will preorder a week before launch.
FOMO wont get me to part 100$ for a promise.

 

[IAmRei]

no, TBH i don't really care about GTA
I have lot of better games
and my backlog is crazy

i will buy when i got mood or time for it

 

[Hudo]

I'll wait for the PC version and buy that if the game turns out to be good.

They still need to show proper gameplay.

 

[Ben87fr]

When it's 20 bucks i'll think about it

 

[yogaflame]

I'll wait for the PC version and buy that if the game turns out to be good.

They still need to show proper gameplay.

Thats why i miss E3. We get to test allot of new games because of many demos.

 

[Ozzie666]

I am sorry for asking this - because I really should not - what is the point of preordering digital copy of the game?

Please think of the publisher, they need a return on investment ASAP to pay for the money spent making the game.

No reason anymore to pre-order with digitial. Not like it's a Blizzard premium box edition.

 

[Bojji]

Nope, still a shit ton of time until release to think about their predatory practices.

 

[SmokSmog]

Buy refurbished Series S for pennies, make a new email and Xbox account connected to it, buy the game, play the game, sell the game with the account bundled with the series S.

 

[Denton]

Fuck no

 

[Putonahappyface]

What is the point of pre-ordering a digital game or an empty box? I'll buy it on the day of release.

 

[Bernardougf]

I dont like to pay to beta test games for developers.

So as every game since the beginning of this gen.. huge NO.

But I like to thank everyone that does ... your service is appreciated.

 

[German Shocks]

Only one Xbox vote is crazy.

 

[Stafford]

No. Absolutely zero reason to preorder anything.

 

[Impotaku]

Bunch of melts posting screenshots of them blowing 99 on a digital preorder when not a single real screenshot or actual gameplay footage has been shown lol.

I admire the blind faith that it's not going to be some modern audience watered down humour turd.

 

[Kupfer]

Why the fuck would I preorder a digital license?
I may be braindead, but not Rockstars little dickrider.

 

[Generic]

I wonder how optimized the game will be. And if the controls will be smooth, of course.

 

[Sticks]

Yeah, on Steam

 

[winjer]

Only one Xbox vote is crazy.

The craziest part is that there are 31 people, as of now, that have pre-ordered a digital code.

 

[Bernardougf]

Btw everyone buying the ultimate 100$ edition with locked in game content... please post here the receipts because in the future we cant accept your complaints when every game start doing this.

Every shitty practice in this industry is allowed by dumb ass fomo gamers. And this will be the new one.

 

[German Shocks]

The craziest part is that there are 31 people, as of now, that have pre-ordered a digital code.

I pre-ordered and got overnight shipping, too.

 

[10101]

Nah will buy it on launch day, or a day before to pre load maybe. No reason to pre order anything digital

 

[Elginer]

Hell no. Zero gameplay and and an artificial price increase for the complete game
Not sliced apart and the odds high that it will be full of woke slop, I'll pass. If the game actually turns out to be good it will be just as fine a year from now on sale. There's too much shit like Onimusha, Gears and Zelda to play. This hype is just so that in 48 hours we get a new blurb about how so many millions of Oreos have been done in some press release.
