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.

Isn't pc masterrace excluded from GTA 6 release? It will probably be on PC in the next year or 2.
Here we go again with the preorders for digitally downloaded games. Why, why have we not learnt from all the botched AAA game launches?
Preorders for AAA games made sense when supply was scarce, demand high, and games pretty much working at launch day.
This is not the timeline we live in anymore.
But what if the bytes run out? What then?
I buy physical anyway, and have never had an issue just going into a shop and picking up a game on day one.
I think publishers realized this a while ago which is why pre orders usually come with a free skin, or early access, or something like that.
Don't get me wrong, I still think pre ordering a digital item is stupid as hell, but there are definitely people in the boat of "I'm 100% going to buy it no matter what, and this gets me the game a week early" - so for them it makes sense.
Not coming to PC until ~2032 anyway.
Not buying a console slower than my PC just to play this at <1080p <30fps with upscaling.
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.
It's very unlikely to be playable on the steam deck, so I won't be playing it. That's my only gaming device. Looking forward to seeing others enjoying it tho.
Luckily you can run every single other GTA game before VI with relative ease on the Steam Deck!
Are you saying gta5 runs well, locally, on a steam deck?
Yes, very!
If you're not morally against the idea, I recommend you consider your legally purchased GTA V copy to just be a license, and then either download a crack to apply or pirate one. Rockstar requires a online check in to play your single player game.
And I am well and truly against that idea. But regardless, yes it plays well!
Nah, im good. No new trailer either kinda stinks. Hopefully something new drops soon.
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.
Now if SSDs could magically become affordable, I might actually be able to play it.
Get a small SSD and just put that game on it?

According to GTA 6 Intel in a post that has since been taken down, Grand Theft Auto VI will "be just under 200GB", with other "sources" also corroborating this claim. Of course, this rumor has not been officially confirmed by Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive, and it was already clear to fans that GTA VI will be quite demanding when it comes to storage.
I will never understand preorders for software. It's infinitely copyable. There is no scarcity for software.
This one arrived in the post just in time for this news the other day


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.
Thanks, it was my latest DSi pickup (there's been a lot)
This one is a color exclusive to Japan, it is the Lime Green one :)
Do you have GTA China Town DS version lol?
Yes! But not a physical copy, I'm using this with my DSi:
I'm going to pre-order five of these at least so I can make a profit when they raise the price for the final release.
I have waited quite a lot to get GTA 5 on a sale, and eventually got it for free (Epic giveaway).
I could wait the same time for a %75 sale.
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.
Don't even think about it ...
Are these pre-orders for PC: because it's even offtopic if not (among other things)
I honestly didn't even know they came out with a release date for the game, so I was a little confused why they were allowing pre-orders already.
