Only way I buy this:
If they try pull 100 dollar bullshit or fill it with micro transactions then I am out. Also I will not pre order this game (I didn't with 5) I will wait until its out and I hear good things from the players.
Just like I did with 5. Had coworker who was bragging about the game every day. Finally and picked up a copy at Vintage Stock. This is the original PS3 version only one I have.
Point 2 is the biggest for me. I haven’t played more than 30 minutes of gta5 online. Single player story is where it’s at. Wish we got more DLC.
Same only tried it once was no fun. Yes they game was built to have multiple DLCs or hell lot more story could of been told.
I only recently started playing again specifically because I found out that all the missions in online mode that required you to be in a public lobby are now able to be ran in a private lobby. Playing in a solo lobby is basically like getting more SP story (there are story missions in GTAO; it's not all races and DM). Don't have to deal with cheaters or asshats.
Does it work on PS3?
Genuine question, why is $100 too much for a quality game? Completely agreed on the micro transactions though
Hm.. how much is too much, then? If 70% higher than the industry standard isn't too nuch
Wow people really didn't like my question!
To respond to yours though, I'd say it depends on how much content there is! If a game can easily take 1000 hours with no degradation of enjoyment, I would pay $100 for it
Edit to add: I realize this didnt exactly address your question, but I'm not sure what percentage since it heavily depends on the quality and quantity of content
For me personally, I find it really easy to add "hours" to a game's runtime, and I'd sooner pay more for a higher quality experience and a shorter runtime. I've spent about a fifth of that 1000 mark in both Baldur's Gate 3 and Elden Ring, and they'd have been worth $100 to me. Indiana Jones was worth every bit of the $70 I paid, and it took me under 20 hours.
Exactly. $100 is a lot of money, however games are cheaper than ever these days (adjusted for inflation) and $100 for no micro transactions sounds fair.
On the other hand, I wouldn’t buy it at that price either. I‘d wait for a sale…
