My answer remains the same from the last time this was asked as $100. A resounding:

I don't buy games day 1 anymore and even if I did, I expect no day 1 patches and all planned contents be present day 1. That's a pipe dream so never gonna happen. Paying $150 and expecting devs to polish the game to a mirror sheen is laughable.

You're essentially the beta tester of the game but you pay the company for the privilege to be the tester? My mind can't even compute.

I'll pay 20, tops. I really don't think gta is that great. After 30 missions of "go to point A and now go to point B" it gets old.

I'm just going to say what I always do...

If people think this Rockstar is the same Rockstar you loved in the past... You are in for a rude awakening.

It's a totally different company today. Different ideals, different beliefs.

Good luck.

If you think RDR2 team is the same team from 2025 I have news you won't want to hear.

Notably, but not solely, RDR2 (3) came out in 2018, before Houser and Jones both left. Not even speaking of countless devs and writers you don't see in the news.

Hmm. If the only benefit is early access, no. But if there’s a meaningful pass to the dlc….. some other perks. Maybe something else physical. I’d absolutely consider it. I think this is likely to be the most “next generation” game to come out thus far. V had incredible legs and is still played today. The value is there.

They're not going to do this. The entire game would get streamed on Twitch a million times and no zoomers would buy it.

Pay extra to be the first to run into shitty optimizations and "update your drivers"? After the last 7 years anyone who buys games early and complain about performance is just throwing away money.

$150 for a collectors edition that includes future DLC and some nice in game perks AND the 2 weeks early access?

Would I do that for one game I am quite looking forward to playing?

I’m going to purchase the most premium edition anyways. That perk isn’t the reason why I’m supporting the team, it’s my passion for this teams products since GTA3.

Lazlow and Dan Houser have been very important to the company, and Leslie Benzies is also gone.

That doesn't mean their next game will be a turd, and you have zero evidence to proclaim that it will.

Rockstar has a "team" of thousands. And they have had that for RDR2 and GTA V as well.

Yes they were very important to the company but we will just have to wait and see. I see no reason to doubt them at all.

Can't understand all this GTA6 will cost more than a normal game, it's really funny to see.
If anything they can charge people 15 dollars a month for the online after release.
Lets be real the story hasn't been good for a couple of games now. Also this 2 weeks early access stuff all these dev's use now from MMO's needs to stop just a crash grab, that launch's with lots of bugs.

There is more going on internally at R* than most know.

Some of this is public knowledge. When I worked in the industry up until ~2018 there were problems beginning to form.

I stand by my comment, and no where did I say the game would be a turd. This is sort of the problem with online discourse, people make assumptions / put words in the mouth of others that isn't intended. It will sell a ton and be reviewed well, largely because it is Rockstar and the journalism is more bias than any other sector - but regardless, this company isn't the same. This is no secret. They are not what they were, and I totally and completely stand by that.

I mean GTA without Lazlow writing the radio and dialogue makes me apprehensive, I get it. You are right they Arent the same but then again they wouldnt be if one developer left if you want to get strict with it.

I still have faith in them though and I hope GTA6 will prove that they dont need those guys to make an amazing game.
