• I’m mildly annoyed about this, I want to boycot it on principle because the whole union thing, but I’m going to have to buy it for my boy so I’ll end up playing it anyway.

      Nice DS (could be a DSi I guess, can’t see the camera) you got there. I don’t think I’ve seen that shade of yellow before.

  • 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.

    • What if it comes with a bonus like GTA4 remastered for pre ordering?

      • That you have to decide for yourself, and it probably also depends on what the bonus is. Functionally they are bribing you to choose the worse choice for you. The bribe might be worth it. If the game turns out payable and stable, it’s all good. If it’s a buggy mess, unfinished or you need to wait for like 5 patches anyway, was it still worth it?

        To me there are also very few games that I need to play the moment they come out. I probably can’t finish my backlog of games in my life time as it is, so a few days or even months wouldn’t change much for me. Is rather wait and not fall into the marketing trap of “but free stuff”.

    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.

    This game is going to print money.
