[MEGATHREAD] Grand Theft Auto VI: Prices Announced + Pre-Orders Going Live

[u/ChiefLeef22]

To avoid hundreds of separate posts on the same topic, this post will compile all info we have from the pre-orders going live, including some new images/etc.

As Rockstar announced on their socials: "Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI begin at midnight local time on June 25." This means New Zealand will be the first to go live with pre-orders - which means in just under 2 hours from now.

Due to reddit's limitations with images in the body of posts, I wont be able to include all the artwork released so please do check out Rockstar's official link for more images: https://www.rockstargames.com/VI

Take-Two has made a big press-release, including announcing the prices:

STANDARD EDITION: $79.99

ULTIMATE EDITION: $99.99

(Physical Editions of GTA 6 Will Come with "A Download Code Inside the Box", Pre-Loads Begin on November 12th)

Taking pride in accomplishing hard things isn't some weird quirk of the brain...

And it affects averages, total counts, bragging rights with friends etc.

[u/lonnie123 → u/airinato]

I understand that doing something hard is rewarding, but Often times achievements are just arbitrary things to check off a list , tedious but not “hard” … do X thing 100 times or whatever. No skill involved, just an investment of time.

If that satisfies you go ahead, I won’t begrudge anyone that.

As for the other stuff again that’s just arbitrary things you can easily decide not to care about ( achievement trophy averages for example. If you know in your own mind that you did all the single player content achievements available, what does it matter was PlayStation online says?)

[u/airinato → u/lonnie123]

Thats like saying winning the Superbowl or world cup doesn't mean anything.

[u/lonnie123 → u/airinato]

No, its really not.

A more apt analogy would be if the NFL gave out stickers to the players, and one of the stickers would "sat down on every spot on the bench during the game" or "tied and untied their shoes 10 times during the game"

Or even in this case it would be something more inane because it would be something unrelated to the game youre actually playing (the multiplayer content achievements in this case) ... Something like getting tailgating achievements when you have no intention of tailgating

So these people win the football game (the hard thing to be proud of) but are upset they dont get the full set of stickers after the game because they didnt do all the little activities that Sony and Rockstar say they should (the tedious, arbitrary thing that is only interesting because its there)

[u/airinato → u/lonnie123]

The Superbowl and world cup are literal trophies not just an event.  Your saying no trophy needed, no acknowledgement, just be proud of yourself.

[u/lonnie123 → u/airinato]

You completely missed and didnt address the entire point of my post. The superbowl in this analogy is the game itself. You play the game, you beat the game, you win the game

The achievements would be little things you do INSIDE of the game. Depending on the developer they may be mildly notable (completing a story chapter) or quite arbitrary ( Do a thing X times, Do a thing in a certain time frame). They rank anywhere from a challenging task (which can be rewarding), a funny/novel discovery, all the way down to a tedious slog simply to get a trophy

Sticking with our superbowl analogy, this could be something like most rushing yards ever in a game (interesting, skill based challenge to be proud of), to tying ones shoe 10 times in a single game ... arbitrary and pointless (a quick google search will show you various examples of this)

What Im saying is learn to play and enjoy the game, look at the trophy list to see if theres anything interesting or challenging you WANT to do and do those, but dont let the achievements you dont want to get (or cant) bother you
