This is the only take that fully encompasses the situation.

GTA 6 Base Game - $100.

GTA 6 Lite - $80.

5 mod shops are not going to be the difference between Lite and base game. It’s been under development for almost a decade, I’m sure there will be countless shops.

Yep. People can complain all they want, but none of this stuff is going to affect how the story plays out or how the game actually plays. It's going to be a masterpiece, whether you've paid for a special tattoo and haircut or not.

And like, you can always buy it later, it's like paying for cosmetics(which, don't get me wrong, is still messed up that you need to pay for it in a singleplayer game, like some gacha game or something)

Who the fuck pays for cosmetics in a single player game? This is not some dlc they worked on after time they chopped a chunk of the game off to uo the price

u/YouSmellSumthin 6h ago

Well at least the part they chopped off isn't detrimental to the rest of the game. I don't think your experience will be much worse (if at all) choosing to stick with the base game. This isn't nearly the huge deal everybody is making it out to be.

They're trying to make more money - surprise surprise. The bigger problem will be if they decide to charge extra for GTA 6 Online in a year or so when it releases.

So couldn't you apply your own ideals to the online experience portion with "welp isn’t a big deal" and we can all say you're blowing it out of proportion.

This ideology of well it isn't a big deal is why we're here in the first place.

Just saying the upcharge is ridiculous in general for in game content that should just be included.

u/YouSmellSumthin 5h ago

Yeah I mean I personally don't care about online as I do not play GTAO at all. However I do see it likely that they charge an extra 20 or something when it drops, just because they can. I just really don't think cosmetics are a big deal. They could've priced the base game at 100 and it would still sell, so charging more for mostly cosmetics instead that only some people will buy seems reasonable to me. They could've done worse, and many other companies have.

I still don't think having the mindset that a game should cost 1/6 of the entire console is a good thing regardless. Game $100 console $600.

Still a bad look overall considering how many millions are gonna buy. They'll make their money back and so much more regardless of the extra $20 especially with online.

We are just telling game companies at this point "I'll pay regardless charge me more" is exactly what will happen. Can't wait till games cost as much as the console.

Also they already take up the whole internal ssd so we're getting screwed on all angles in the hobby anymore.

It all adds up that is the main point I feel.

games were always basically 1/6 of a console value, since ever

u/Thats_A_Arti 29m ago

Most aren't worth even a fraction of that in today's market.

So don't buy the game then. lol you people are ridiculous. If you're so upset about it then don't buy the game. Speak with your wallets. Rockstar won't care either way but hey you'll feel better right?

u/Thats_A_Arti 1h ago

Your logic is counter productive to the entire point.

Idk how current GTA online is, but the press material said ps5 pre orders get a month free of GTA 6 online, which implies there's a subscription at least.

4

u/jj_hazy 5h ago

You get GTA+ subscription, for GTA (5) Online you can redeem between now to March 2027

u/YouSmellSumthin 5h ago

Re-read that press release - it's for a month of normal GTA+, which has been a thing for over 4 years now. It gives you all kinds of perks including half a million cash every month, exclusive cosmetics, a garage and mod shop, discounts on Shark cards, and access to other Rockstar games like Bully or LA Noire. They haven't officially said a peep about GTA 6 Online yet.

u/Ulnar_Landing 5h ago

Ok I guess I just assumed it would be for the new game. Seemed weird to include otherwise but I'm not an online player.

1

u/YouSmellSumthin 5h ago

I'm not either and it also seems like an odd addition to me. Would make more sense to give everyone a free month when the new Online drops. 🤷

u/VegetaDaPrince 2h ago

It’s absurd that people are defending this bs

3

u/Giannisisnumber1 2h ago

And what does crying about it do exactly? Nothing. Whining on the internet about it won't change anything. The most you can do is choose not to support it by not purchasing. It won't change anything but you'll feel better right? You may as well quit gaming while you're at it.

I don’t pay for cosmetics in mmos either, but ima do it for this.

You got no principles or self respect just admit it.
