Not yet…

 

[Danjin44]

I pre-order this recently.

 

[Witvow]

Not yet, but it's highly likely that I will at some point. It is nowhere near my most hyped game this year, but I'm not missing what is likely to be the largest entertainment production any of us will ever see. I'll be there rain, sun, or snow to either marvel at the spectacle or laugh at the chaos.

 

[Edellus]

I don't usually pre-order. Specially not when there hasn't even been a gameplay reveal yet.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Nope. There's literally no reason to do so with digital goods. Unless there's some preorder initiative in place, some special in-game content or something. I'm more inclined to preorder physical products that will be limited.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Nope, and won't.

 

[Windle Poons]

i know 7 people now who have. Fucks sake this shit isn't going to sell out. The fuck you giving them all this money 5 months in advance for.

 

[Roman Empire]

Besides the graphics I have no basis to judge this game to pre-order it.

My largest grievances with Rockstar Games are their aiming method, even if you adjust in the options free-aim sucks ass and that's why their default has been the pseudo/light auto-aim in their games, even their dedicated cowboy simulator.

Another reason. We know nothing about it beyond a few screenshots and the small trailers we got. I need pure and unadulterated gameplay without too much scripted events to make an informed opinion of how much better this plays to GTA V or RDR2.

Third reason. The whole focus on social media and influencer culture I saw in the previews and the supposedly leaked impressions reinforce that I should be skeptical of this entry until further informations comes to public. We are less than 5 months from release and we barely know anything about this game.

Final reason. Pre-ordering digital goods that don't go scarce is just stupid.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Preordering a digital game while we don't know If there's a 60fps mode??

What do I get out of pre-ordering it? Nothing.

 

[CLW]

It's digital ONLY not like you can't buy it the day before release and play at midnight

 

[blastprocessor]

I'd prefer to earn 4% interest on my £69.99.

 

[Moriarty1889]

No. Will consider getting it if they ever release a proper physical copy of the game.

 

[Sardaukarama]

Nah I've never liked the series , My 3 boys look at me like

 

[Sethbacca]

Not yet, I'll hold on to that $80 till November and order it a few days before to get the preorder freebies.

 

[ricardo_sousa11]

Yes, definitive edition or wtv its called

These cultural moments are rare, if the next GTA takes another 10 years to release, I want to experience it as soon as its live.

 

[Nintendo's Witch]

I don't pre-order games. Let alone GTA

 

[LostDonkey]

No. I don't see the point in pre ordering a digital game 5 months before it's due to launch if they're not offering any benefits for doing so. I.e, early access or in game currency etc.

I couldn't care less about outfits or hairstyles.

 

[Windle Poons]

Doubt you'll be able to play it at midnight - we all know the servers are going to crash.

 

[Orbital2060]

The free month of Online sub, do you get that immediately when preordering? On XBOX you usually dont pay for the preorder until 10 days before launch.

 

[rm082e]

I did not, but my son did. I tried to talk him out if it because fuck pre-orders, but he rebelled against me because I'm his dad...

 

[Nydius]

Nah. No reason to preorder a digital game months ahead of time. Besides, I'm basically paying for this with reward program points I get through my health insurance, and I won't have the final routine reward points until October. Then I'll use all my accumulated points on PSN gift cards and get the Ultimate Edition for only $15 out-of-pocket.

WTF did I just read?

 

[PlayStaytion]

I'm not on the team who sees everything is bitter next to GTAVI.

 

[Uberman77]

Of course I pre-ordered, because I'm worried they're going to run out of all them downloadable ones and zeros. Absolutely retarded, especially with no pre-order bonus.

 

[MrRibeye]

Bro what you mean ofc there's a pre-order bonus

 

[DinoD]

fk no! are going to run out of downloads?

 

[Toots]

I did because the pre order was 60euros with free shipping

 

[Mengy]

As a PC only gamer, no I can't pre-order GTA 6.

More generally though, I don't pre-order any games at all, and I mostly avoid buying games in early access too. In today's digital software world I just don't see the point in buying a game early? In the past when games were distributed on physical media (with limited supply) pre-ordering had a place, but today its just unnecessary in my opinion, unless there is a large price discount for pre-ordering.

I'd much rather wait to see how the game turns out and read player reviews before buying anything.

 

[Valt7786]

I know full well im going to play it day one, but I need to see gameplay and some more details before I commit my money to it

 

[duck_sauce]

I only did it because it was $85 for the ultimate using that Sam's deal. So preordering for me made the game cheaper.

$85 is still expensive and in the end you paid 85$ for the game.

I dont touch games that do not come with at least a 30% discount.

 

[mhirano]

Preordering digital games is dumb.
It's not like the game will be sold out so it doesn't make any sense

 

[yogaflame]

To be honest, if the Ultimate edition was on physical disc, I could have preorder it at once even at 100 dollars.

It's about the downloadable extras you get under pre-ordering, not so much as it being 'sold out'. And I it's unknown if you can obtain them in-game at any point.

 

[Kemosabe666]

Why the heck would you want to preorder a digital only version??

 

[Rambone]

Sam's Club had a deal on Playstation Store gift cards. $85 for $100 Playstation Store credit. Picked one up and applied it towards the GTA VI Ultimate Edition. I'm pretty sure I wasn't going to buy anything else on PlayStation this year, so why not.

 

[Woggleman]

Speaking of that couple i really wish coukd be coop so my wife and i cam plug two controllers in amd play together.

 

[jose4gg]

No reason to do it, I was really exited to watch trailer 3 alongside the pre-order but honestly, there is literally not point in preordering this right now.

 

[Boo Who?]

Nope. Still not sold that this will run over 30fps on a Pro. Zero gameplay has been shown.

 

[Salmonboy]

Preorder a game you don't even own? Hahaha, no way! You HIRE it for 80 dollars

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Nah. I don't even think I'll bother playing it unless my game share buddy decides to grab it.

 

[CyberChulo]

Why would you need to pre-order something that is digital and will not run out of supply?

 

[CobraAB]

Maybe I need to pre-order.

They might run out off copies!

 

[GymWolf]

If i cant find a discounted preorder, I'm probably gonna give saros to gamestop for a discount on wolverine and then use wolverine for the same purpose to buy gta6.

 

[Majukun]

I was never the target demo, but why oh why would I pre-order a digital only game?

 

[Nydius]

WTF did I just read?

Heh.

My health insurer (Humana) has a rewards program (Go365) where I earn rewards points for routine health care stuff. Annual physical, annual colonoscopy, flu shot, annual diabetes screen, that kind of crap. I can trade reward points for gift cards, but most of their options suck like Starbucks or Panera Bread gift certificates. But they offer PlayStation e-gift cards as an option.

So by October I'll have enough reward points banked for 4x$20 PSN cards and 1x$5. My insurance is basically bankrolling my future video game felonies.

What is that, like putting credit on an EBT card that you should use as food stamps but instead use it on video games???

 

[Arsic]

For any game.

 

[Nydius]

It's just a rewards program for doing routine health care visits. It's not something I am supposed to use only on health care stuff, which is what I think you're alluding to.

I can use the rewards on anything in their redemption shop, which includes both PSN and NSO gift card options. I'll post a few screenshots behind a spoiler tag, maybe that'll make more sense than trying to explain it.

Spoiler: Images from the Go365 app.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Even if it was on PC, I still won't pre order it until I see more.
