Anyone else still sitting on the fence?

Is there anyone else left that hasnt bought the PC version?

I havent yet, after the christmas delay, the hype train I was on got derailed and hit a wall ... hard... in a tunnel .. then cought on fire ... before a tsunami drowned the remaining survivors

 

If it was released at the same time as Xbox1 & PS4 it would have been an instant buy for me.

If it had a decent steam preorder instead of GTA:SA a month ago I most likely would have bought it.

 

Now here we are, less then 3 full weeks for the next known release date, and the train started moving again.

I find myself checking the forum every day, hoping for some info on the newswire.

 

From my poin of view it looks like we wont be getting any more info before the 31ste of March.

Which would make sence, the end of the (current) preorder bonus, 2 weeks before the next known release date.

 

Mosty likely I'll buy it as soon as the actual release date is known. Well, 2-3 days before it actually gets released so I can still preload it.

But I was wondering, who else is on my train?

I think I'm on a slightly different train, but I see what you mean. I was very excited for the game when it was going to be released in January (so after the first delay), I was also looking on these forums almost daily (which is why I registered), and I was also looking up some YT video from it. But I've not been as excited since they delayed it again (in January) to be honest. I had it pre-ordered already, and I'm not going to cancel it or whatever, but I don't really mind if they release it in a couple of weeks, or if they delay it again. I've learned my lesson that I should not look forward to something that might not even be there on that date.

I've already got the game on my PS3.

 

I'm not going to spend the whole amount towards a game which is a bit old. I'd definitely get it once the price goes down. ;)

At this stage in time, I'm currently inclined to wait for the price to drop, before I make my purchase. I also own a PS3 copy that I put down for good in October 2013.

Here is the thing (for me), GTA is my favorite franchise and I'm always fascinated by each title. GTA is far from being a yearly release and you gotta wait a while before the next title yet you can have fun with any of the previous ones. So no, I will not miss this one for sure. I did not play any of the console version of GTAV so obviously, it is going to be a brand new experience for me and might be less exciting for someone who did. The PC version is going to be unique though, so it is worth to check out.

I'm not pre ordering until nearer release date. Before they delayed it to April I was about to preorder it and even then the game was still about a month away. Also, and this might sound strange, but I'm waiting until AFTER 31st March for the pre order bonus to expire. I really don't want extra money in the game. I felt it ruined the experience when I played it on PS4.

 

I'll pre order maybe a week before, pre load it, play on launch.

Yeah, the ingame money does seems to be abit of a fun spoiler. Maybe for returning player orso. But as a first dive into gta i dont want to free money straight away...

and from what I have read sofar getting money in Singleplayer will not be a big issue.

Kind of the same for me. It's the only videogame series I'd pay 60 bucks for.

Have the game on ps3, but while it's fun for a few hours, ultimately the wasted potential (30fps+controller aiming) gets frustrating pretty fast.

I jumped over the fence and pre-ordered it 4 months ago but I'm not fussed when it comes out as I only paid £12.99 and I have patience. ;)

 

That price has dropped twice since then so it's only costing me:

I know exactly what you mean but it really doesn't apply to me :p because in my case I already have it pre-ordered at a retail store since march last year and I kept believing it would come out some day even though my friends thought I was crazy waiting for a game that they already played a million times and here we are waiting for the final weeks to come by (I hope). it was a long and hard road with a lot of emotions here on the forum, but yeah I hope the wait will be worth it and that everybody will enjoy the game :colgate: but I understand that you are still sitting on the fence and maybe I should have done it too but hey I just couldn't resist the GTA magic, I'm just blinded by it everytime or something :p

Is there anyone else left that hasnt bought the PC version?

Let me just say this:

The weekend before release two friends are over and we really wanted to play it, because they said 24. March.

But if the local stores would get it in stock the Friday before release I still would not buy it without any good reviews online, because that is how much I mistrust R* that it is actually a decent PC version.

I jumped over the fence way back in January. ;)

Not buying the game until it is released (which I doubt would happen this year - the release date is a hoax) and the bugs are patched (which won't happen another half a year since Cockstar's gonna be busy with heists on consoles).

Not interested in the game right now, nor hyped. Rockstar made sure they slaughtered any possible amount of hype back in January.

 

It's seating in my Steam library until one day around 2025 they decide to f*cking release it.

I definitely will get it on release day. I just still am on the fence whether to preorder it (until 31st March) to get the 1.2M bonus and even then I still have to decide between Steam version, retail or Social Club (buying it from nuveem, a brazilian online game shop, would only cost like 25€).

 

Would it really be worth it to preoder soon just to have extra money? I am an existing player anyways (coming from PS3) and still can get a bonus.

How can you guys not be hyped and still come here everyday?

I'm as hyped as the first day back in 2013. I preordered the game in June, and not earlier simply because I couln't.

I will play it for the very first time when I get it (the 14, I hope...), so I'm really excited.

I feel like a little child hoping for this videogame, and I'm 30...

If you are going to get it on release... there's no good reason to not pre-order it right now and get the bonus stuff.

 

Also, I don't know what your financial situation is like but I would opt for the Steam version if possible.

I haven't- I need to save up first. Provided I have the cash by then, it's a day one buy.

I pre-ordered the physical version back in December. Ever since I saw it was coming to PC, there was really no question about it for me :D

I'm on the train where you pre order it back in January and have been waiting patiently freaking out waiting for it to release!

I don't understand the reasoning behind "I'm not pre-ordering it because they delayed it" mentality. They delayed it to make it better, shouldn't this give you more reason to buy it? Or are you people the ones who bought Assassins Creed: Unity and liked the awful bugs and unoptimised mess? I understand people that want to wait to see how it runs for other people before buying it, but outright not buying it because it was delayed. Why?

 

OT: I was never on the fence. I knew for sure that I would play it, whatever state it be in. I've bought this game 3 times now and I'll be playing it one day one, just like the previous versions.

I tried sitting on the fence, but it was made out of plywood and it broke.

I was going to buy it but then I saw they delayed it to the 14th of april (when they promised us they wouldn't delay it) so I decided that when it releases I will obtain it for free.

 

That's gangsta, bruh.

 

I hope you will encounter massive problems with the pirate version. Or that it will be so good optimized (the game that is) you'll reconsider and buy a legit copy afterwards. Probably doubtful though with that attitude of yours.

 

And did they really promised that they wouldn't delay it anymore? Even so, those promises are rubbish nowadays and especially in game development. It happens.
