I'll just say it, this will under perform and will be the last game the studio produces. I'm not saying that's what I want to happen but I've been playing games for decades and have seen this movie before.
Red Dead 2 on the One X blew the PS4 Pro out of the water. And on paper isn't the Series X more powerful than the PS5? Who knows the Series X might come out on top here.
This game looks pretty good at the right price. I also enjoy Applebees and Chili's, I'm not like these keyboard warriors who only eat at Ruth Chris and Gordon Ramsey
I bought a second Series X after my 2020 original struggled to read certain discs. If something happened now I would hold out for the 25th anniversary edition.
We are all going to buy it, then they will release a physical copy and millions more will buy it, then a next gen version will come out and everyone will buy that. I think I bought GTA V 5 times. Including a physical PC copy.
@Tdx This. I have never played any of their games and have to interest in them. Also announce a game in 2020 and six years later still no product. What are they doing?
@Balaam_ 100%. Remember GTA V came on disc and with a map that had secret writings on it if you used a black light. Who was against that? It was awesome!
@nomither6 I have games I bought for $40 that now sell for over $300. I'm just saying any money I spent on digital games is gone forever. My PriceCharting acount is valued over 10k. My Steam accout is $0.
Red Dead 2 came on 2 discs so put GTA om 3 or 4. I don't understand why people would spend there money on a digital item instead of a physical item if it is an option. Anything you own digital is worthless.
If it didn't have to compete with Expedition 33, South of Midnight would have been my game of the year. I'm not suprised it didn't sell well, it was in Gamepass. Plus for people like me, no physical release no buy.
I'm pretty sure there is old Gears footage running on a PS3. So who cares. The consoles are so similar, if you have a dev kit and the right code, you can make it happen.
I've only played 4 and 5 so I'd say 5 is my favorite. I live about 2 hours from Mexico so the settings were very familiar and the right lane driving was nice. I also discovered more songs I liked in 5.

Re: Talking Point: How Would You Feel If Xbox Game Pass Actually Dropped Day One Releases?
I buy physical games so I wouldn't mind it. Especially if the price came down. A lot of the big day one releases I'm not interested in.
Re: Talking Point: How Many Games Do You Plan To Convert With Xbox Disc To Digital?
As many of the 136 physical Xbox One/Series games as I can.
Re: Poll: How Many Hours Of Xbox Cloud Gaming Do You Use Per-Month?
I tried it out a couple times but I haven't used it at all in months. Take cloud gaming and Fortnite Crew away and lower the price of Gamepass.
Re: State Of Decay 3 Confirms New Release Window & Closed Beta Plans

Original. I remember trying to convince my mom to let me get it because it was rated M.

Re: Poll: If You're Buying GTA 6, Are You Getting The Standard Or Ultimate Edition?

As someone with bad eyes, I'm glad I can't tell if v-sync is on or off. I've also heard about something called "screen tearing."
