I really don't think people that own GTA V on LG are going to go buy a new console just for V alone. Or I guess in this case, GTA: Online alone.

 

If that's what you're saying. A bit hard to understand. Sorry.

 

I'm sure people that own both the LG game and a new gen console are going to buy it, obviously. But I just don't see V being a system seller.

Last number I heard was 10 million PS4s. Figure there's less than that of XB1 out there so no more than 20 million potential customers.

 

If only 10% of all next gen owners buy GTA V, and that's likely a gross underestimate, then that's still 2 million sales. PC copies of games are lucky to sell that many in a year let alone on launch day.

 

 

Yes, there is a market for them to milk for two months. They did these same calculations and voila 2 month pc delay is born.

Even Uplaysoft sells well on PC (page 6). And it got more recently.

I am fairly certain the console version will cause a massive cash influx at first, but PC will make them more money in the end as it is still sold in big numbers in something like Steam sales to people who see all the great mods.

Another shady thing I noticed about the release date is that the trailer never said "January 27th, 2015", or any release date for PC at all; just "Also coming to PC". only the description and R*'s website says a PC release date. Just speculation though, I feel I may get hurt by this sudden hype :cry:

But on the steam page of the video part it does say the release date showing January 27th it does feel more like a placeholder than a release date, they seem to be pushing these updates quite fast so lets hope the date changes back to 2014.

I think.. Rockstar is reading our posts here.. You know why? Anyone want the pc version as fast as possible.. So why not change the date just to troll?

 

I mean.. Look at steamdb.. Anyone here said "Omg I want 3 players.. Then I'm excited.." "rockstar please just 3 players.." "3 players just to see if you reading our posts."

 

And that is the point.. They don't need 3 online players in the steam version.. They testing the most builds internal.. So why don't show the community 3 players ONCE just to troll?

 

This is nothing confirmed or so.. Just my current opinion.. :)

Maybe I'm the only one but I don't get the "OMFG how dare they charge us $60 scam ripoff blah blah blah" bullsh*t most everyone is spouting in this thread

 

I see no issues with them charging full price for the game.

Because whether it was out for PC then or not the game itself and all its content is already 1 year old and by the time it comes out for PC it will be close to 1.5 years. There is no excuse in the book to charge that much for a game that old. All the remastering enhancements cannot counter that fact (age) and to me $60 is a ripoff for that.

 

So just because something has existed in any form before, releasing it to a new platform should magically cause it to be cheaper? Did you yell and scream about TLOU PS4 edition too?

Paying full price for a game that is 1 year and 4 months old is not okay. Despite upgrades to physics, visuals and other such things, it is not okay. Not at all.

 

Content-wise, GTA V is the same game. There will be additional activities, such as wildlife photography, yes. But does this really justify the full price? I don't know. I suppose it's up to you to determine that. Depends on how much you value these things, I guess.

 

Tell me, when they re-release a movie (BluRay, Directors Cut, etc...) and charge the normal/full price for that do you completely lose your sh*t over that too?

 

I mean, that movie was already out. It was available before. Should the BluRay be $5 because the DVD was $20 ten years ago?

So, it's been 1 year since GTA V was released on LG consoles.
At that time I was thinking "It's good, it means it'll come soon on PC, it should come until May next year or maybe later, anyways,

on 17 September (2014) I will have GTA V on PC for sure and I will be playing for a long time!"

and here we are, still waiting for the PC version, and like it wasn't enough they delay it...

Something tells me the blank article was just a site bug. R*W has never posted anything, that was his first post, possibly a test of some kind or a database error.

Edit: it does seem a bit on purpose though. :lol:

Well it looks like his posts are mostly merchandise related...

 

 

So what's coming up next? GTA V condoms?? Well I guess that's one way to celebrate the anniversary.

Oh, okay, because I clicked his name and nothing appeared. But it seems you're right.

 

Also, the international versions of the newswire don't have that ghost article.

Do you remember that video not loading up for hours on Friday? We ended up getting a new trailer. This could be something similiar.

The ghost article is no longer on the newswire. They removed it.

 

Apparently the ghost article had more comments than most of the GTAO articles.

 

 

In other words, people give more f*cks about some blank sht than some GTAO crap.

Let that be a lesson to you R*. Stop shoving GTAO down our throats.

Maybe R* has decided "hah guys JK THE GAME'S COMING OUT TODAY WHOO". Or maybe the post is going to be like "Yeah, about that PC version... not coming. You're all gonna pirate it anyway (at least that's what we read on GTAForums). F*ck you."

 

EDIT: The post has been removed. Oh, R*, what a buzzkill. Maybe the error is because they're finished with the post and it's uploading? Hope so.

Its time to discuss the topic at hand again. Unless it pertains to V and Steam, the ghost article should be discussed in another topic. We don't a staff member to come in here and start removing posts do we?

People, they've deleted the blank news, now you can browse another thread. Don't get hyped to be disappointed again, R* won't release the game b4 january 27. They're R*, the company that hates PC gamers most.

I hope that this can bring some fuel to the HYPE TRAIN

 

In that case, there's no room to say they have delayed PC version due to "polishing" job. Those liars delayed PC version because of timed exclusivity contracts.

When Valve did the large update to STEAM in 2010 they changed the way keys work, any game added after 2010 will show as a STEAM 2010 Key.

 

Has nothing to do with when it was added

There wasn't in the first place. If the PC version isn't ready, the console versions aren't ready.
