MODERATORS
I jnow this game will sell like crazy and make billions. But cmon it would be so funny if it made a concord.
This might be the first mainline GTA to NOT outsell the previous GTA
Would be pretty wild but I wouldn't hold my breath.
230m copies is an insane bar to clear, even for this juggernaut. I'm sure Rockstar's expecting some headwinds on the price, but nothing major.

“Features a ‘Single Player Experience’ at launch”
wtf does that even mean. Was there a possibility it would be launched without the story or campaign? If so, that implies that online was their primary target and they just threw a story in there to prevent people from hating it.
Also why is it a “single player experience” and not, oh you know, the game itself. Sadly that phrasing uses enough weasel words that it makes me think that Online is the first-class citizen and the story is just a tacked on afterthought.
Needless to say I’m waiting for the game to come out and some further reviews before committing to anything.
From the FAQ on the PlayStation store page:
Q: Does Grand Theft Auto VI have any multiplayer modes or features?
A: Grand Theft Auto VI is a single-player experience.
Meaning that on its release date, there will be no multiplayer. We all know the mulitplayer is coming, whether it's added later (like it was to GTA5 or RDR2) or if it's a separate item in the store. Taking an educated guess, it's probably just going to be added on, so that it can leverage the same game installation.

I'll put that in the patient game pile. I'll buy it in 5 years when it goes to 56% off or more.
Not that I agree with Nintendo charging $80 for Mario Kart, but at least Nintendo had decency to give people an actual physical copy, not lock content behind an additional $20 upgrade and not fire the people who made the game for unionising.
Edit: Not to mention that GTA6 will 100% have pay to win microtransactions on top of the base purchase.

It was a slippery slope letting the industry upgrade the prices of AAA games to $70.
Can't be surprised that its $80, but still appalling.
GTA 6 physical copies do not include a physical copy, Rockstar has confirmed. They're just a code in a box
So in other words, that is a fraudulent claim but at this point, who's counting? I came from a time and place where, if.a company would make such a bullshit claim, they couldn't get away with "but nobody would ever believe that a physical copy would actually include a physical copy!", they would be fined heavily.
I propose we make such bullshit claims a criminal act for which the complete C suite can be jailed. Let's see how fast companies start behaving!
I do wonder though, if the physical game contains a code, the non physical game contains... Nothing? Air? Vacuum? A black hole that swallows you hole? (Yes, that is a bad pun)
