KidMemphis Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'm amazed by the general consensus that doesn't seem to have a problem with a two-year-old console port being released on PC two years after the initial release of the game for the same price as it was two years ago... o.ODon't get me wrong, I played the game when it was released in late 2013 on my old Xbox 360 and loved it, but seriously...it's a two-year-old port.I mean I know I'm a bit salty about this, but seriously...where is the public shaming towards Rockstar from the PC gaming community?

Endrance Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Usually no one cares, there are far better games for PC than GTA will ever be. I'm even amazed to the fact they actually ported, since it was supposed to be released 6 months after the original release, but got godly delayed.

Jag272 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) I got it on Gamersgate so I got £18 worth of blue coins back for a £40 purchase. Even if that money is locked into a single retailer, I'm pretty happy with that deal personally. I'm not a big fan of this new price point though, publishers seem to be using next-gen as an excuse to bump prices up to £40/£45 from the old £30/£35 mark.

(PSN)TheArrowOfGod Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Why shame? They were making it the definitive edition of the game. It's a great game that many are happy with so they wanted it to be remembered as the best it could be, so they added more cars, better textures, the editor to make your own movie. If you want your game to be remembered with this last editon, then I say take as much time as you need to make it grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbister Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Well, i'll buy it only if it goes on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdunSaveMe Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Who cares? I've got the PS3 version anyway. The Last of Us Remastered was at somewhat full price too. It had a full graphical overhaul along with a few tweaks and the extra content. The PC release of GTA V isn't much different to that, and besides, they know people will buy it anyway. People wanna spend 60 bucks on it? Let em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherIcarus Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Umm...what? o.O Well it is more likely that the high street retailer brands got Rockstar to sign some kind of contract that stops them from listing there game cheaper than high street price at launch.

Gale47 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Firstly, this is nothing strange because AAA releases (re-releases or not) almost always cost $60 at first. Secondly, the game is really, really, really good. Granted, I haven't touched GTA V itself, but am spending a fair amount of time in Online, which is the best fun I've been having in quite a while, Warframe aside.

VKhaun Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Consumers are cows. They got it and they'll pay it. I still try to vote with my wallet a bit. Spend more on devs I like and refrain from buying from devs/franchises I'm not happy with. I gave up arguing about it on the internet long ago, though. Everyone claims indignation about this sort of thing but then the same companies break sales records selling the same games the same way -or even in worse ways- so either the forums and boards aren't big enough for the conversation to matter or everybody is full of crap.

I thought it was common knowledge about how the high street stores force games to be the same price at launch on PC as they are in stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-CM-Tiffany Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 It's a bloody good PC port, one of the best ports if not the best in the last few years, and even if it looks blergh'er than a lot of other PC games, it's a really good game in and of itself. It took them a long long time to port it but it's worth it. :p I think it is worth the moneys, but that doesn't matter because Gaben will give it a 25-40% off for Christmas or something.

Sixty5 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 The price put me off, in all honesty, but then again I wasn't hyped for it. Might pick it up in 4 months time when the next big sale comes around on steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all similar... A game being two years old in gaming time is a long time ...and if you still want to use the "car" analogy, imagine me trying to sell you an old car for ticket price of what it cost when it was new from the dealership...you honestly going to tell me you'd actually pay new ticket price for an old model?
