Should also be pointed out that Rockstar hasn't stated they will never release physical copies. Just that there won't be any at release. Again, almost entirely because they are worried about leaks. If we are still here a year from now and Rockstar still hasn't released physical copies then yea, that is terrible. But feel like people are putting the cart before the horse here

Oh sure that's obviously the #1 concern

This is all true, but if you have a physical copy usually you are still able to download those patches later if those games are removed from your platform's digital store. At least, that's been my experience.

You may not always be able to still download the game if you purchased digitally and later lost your hard drive or had to remove the game to make room for a different game.

GTA 6 isn't going to be removed from the digital store :lol:

Usually, the only games that are are those that are tied to some kind of licensing deal that is about to expire. Usually racing games or those that are tied some third party property the publisher no longer has the license for (ie. Spiderman, Transformers). Even then, you can still download the game provided that you purchased it previously.

No one should buy this game until it is on sale, but Rockstar knows the gaming public can't help themselves

As someone who doesn’t know anything about Steam, why would anyone buy this over a XBOX or PlayStation?

There is no reason whatsoever

Marvel didn't start with Guardians of the Galaxy or Shang-Chi. if they did, those movies would've been a massive flop. I'm not sure why they are going with Supergirl immediately after Superman as the second film in the new DC cinematic universe.

I wouldn't call Iron Man, Captain America, or Thor Marvel's most popular characters by any means, but they were probably the best Marvel had that weren't contracted out to other studios at the time plus Robert Downey Jr.

4 is easily the worst GTA game.

Worst story, worst characters, worst mechanics, worst driving controls.

I wouldn't go that far. Is it worse than GTA 1 and 2 and the PS2 trilogy? You can have a lot of nostalgia for the PS2 era GTA games, but objectively, I don't think you can argue that 4 isn't an improvement on those games.

Given when it was released, it does occupy this weird space before developers started copying Gears of War for third person cover shooter mechanics, thus the on foot sections feel like they have one foot in next gen and one foot stuck in the PS2 era.

I actually like the driving and the attention to detail more than 5 though.

5 overall is still my favorite GTA.

The AAA industry will be extinct within the next 10-15 years. Bookmark it.

I don't know about that, but the gaming industry has certainly flown too close to the sun. Once it became a major industry and the suits got involved, it's all been downhill.

There are a couple potential issues at this point, not knowing really any detail s about the story or gameplay.

The founders left Rockstar during this game's development. That doesn't necessarily bode well.

Secondly, the emphasis on immersion and realism works for a game like RDR2 where you can get immersed in the time period. When I play GTA, I don't really want to have to stop by fast food to eat or to get gas for my car.

Starkville has had a bad reputation through the years but it’s not 2003 Starkville anymore. Last decade plus has been really good and it’s a fine little college town nowadays

I moved out in 2017, and thought it had been going downhill. Columbus has too though fwiw, probably at a faster rate than Starkville.
