Why would you want to pay $70 for a pay to win game at all?

    Huh? For £70 I'm getting -

    • Huge open world
    • Very fun and emergent gameplay
    • Likely a world with multiple competing systems and subsystems to play with
    • Incredibly detailed world to get lost and immersed in
    • Given the RDR2 writing, likely a really well written story

    But you've decided to latch onto one aspect of the previous game (the Online mode) to try to be as contrarian as possible?

    I sure as heck will pay £70 for the above. And so will many millions of others. Sorry if that does a poo on your hate-train.

    Well, to be fair, you don’t know you’re getting it for that. As far as I’ve seen, they haven’t announced the release price yet. And a lot of studios are hoping that Rockstar will take the fall for being the first $100 game so publishers can start charging used console prices for AAA games from then on.

    Either way though, I won’t be paying anything for it.

    Based on what? You don't actually know until it gets released. Sure, past history and reputation are certainly things to factor in, but we've seen plenty of major gaming companies shit the bed, despite their reputations.

    Wait until it launches and the reviews come in.

    I'm responding to a comment assuming it'll be nothing but a "pay to win" game, despite any real evidence of that - I'm pointing out the expectations of GTA VI.

    This sub is like Reddit on steroids. Just a bunch of contrarian kids trying to start arguments on the internet. Bizarre.

    Good for you! For GTA VI, I definitely wanna play it as quickly as possible and £70 is a pretty reasonable price for that.

    You hope you'll get those things. It's Rockstar though so who really knows. I mean we do know we're going to get a single player that's been confirmed by Rockstar but everything else is just a guess. The map leak people seem to suggest that the map will include NASA and Disneyland which will be cool I guess, but we don't know that that's just a prediction and I don't quite understand how they can predict that.

    I just don't trust Rockstar not to screw it up with GTA online 2, now with more irritating flying bikes
