You will pay $100 for a video game

Not after gta5 I wont

journalists manufacturing consent

We don't hate them enough.

Sure for a good game, not gta6.

No video game is worth 100 USD.

I'd pay 100$ for a good game like GTA 6 and not fromslop or Nintendo's toddlerslop

Nah.
Gta 5 was boring ass dogshit, i might pirate this one.

Ranjesh, stop.

White boy summer 12 months a year baby

i have easily put at least 50 hours into each GTA game since GTA 1 (boomer here)

Game Cost = $100 (as an example)

Hours Played = 50 (at a minimum)

Cost per hour = Game Cost / Hours Played

$2 per hour

a fentanyl zombie could afford that

I will wait for the inevitable Steam sale or get it when it's given out for free on Epic and probably never touch it.

Dark Souls II

Good

Good for a masochist, which is what the average soulslike player is.

I spent $0 on GTAV, didn't even pirate it, didn't care enough.
It's easy to not spend too much money if you're not a retarded consumer.

a fentanyl zombie could afford that

I could afford to never cook again but that's just dumb.

comparing eating to entertainment

truly a mutt moment

2$ per hour

Calculating cost per hour is retarded and also I paid 0.05$ per hour for games I had way more fun than any gta game. Kys

cost should not equate to hours spent, you fucking nigger. you sound like an EA exec pimping out your game. i already spend $20 an hour fucking your mom behind a dumpster

It's going to BE $100.

dont worry, im sure mommy will buy it for you on christmas

There's not that many things I need to buy regularly. My hobbies consist of games, music, reading and cooking. The books I buy are 5-10€ so that's not working and for music I rarely need to buy anything since I play by ear the most.

t. moneylets

It's perfectly reasonable to evaluate whether or not something is worth the money based on the amount of hours of entertainment you get. I certainly wouldn't pay $50 for a game I'd only play for 1 hour, no matter how good. I could definitely pay $100 for a game I'd play 100 hours.

With your logic you'd be ok for games to cost even $200.
What's a measly $4 per hour? Are you poor?

Fucking retard.

my hobbies consist of sitting on my ass except for when i make food to stuff in my gullet

you know that people bragging about spending 100 bucks aren't the rich ones, right?
there's a lot of money to be made by tricking poorfags into buying overpriced crap by making them think they can pretend to be rich

$1/h entertainment is overpriced

Like I said: moneylet.

Sorry I don't pay games more than 20euros, and that's when I'm really interested in the game.
Just play it years later faggot

Well, you're actually right. What's your point? It's the only game I'd be willing to justify 100 dollars for.

you want to miss the hustle and bustle of the release? that's what you want?

100 dollars for 100+ hours of entertainment is bad

and yet people gladly pay 20 bucks for a 2 hour movie at the cinema

the same types who watch every marvel film, buy fumko pops and have LEDs all over their bedroom

Why do you see those absolute shit takes only in GTA threads? I feel I've stumbled into a real shill threads by accident holy fucking shit.

hmfph I'm not poor

Well, what's your limit? Where do we draw the line between "I'm rich" and "I'm retard that is basically a paypig"

he thinks the biggest entertainment product to ever exist needs to pay shills

zoomies have no idea, your first GTA release?

wouldnt play this slop for free.

ah yes, GTA, known for not having a marketing budget at all lmao

if he really was rich he would value his money and not actually see it as a mean to make himself look rich, aka absolute poors behaviours.

he thinks the biggest entertainment product to ever exist needs to pay shills

It does when they're trying to desperately push the narrative that it's ok for a game to cost $100.

ok marketing team, we are going need you guys on Anon Babble video game board, don't be afraid to say some off color stuff!

I really don't see it

chet is part greek and bulgarian... basically 50% balkans
not white

what is white

Then you're doing it for free, which makes it the more pathetic.

Goyslop

Nah, I'm good.

I work in marketing, no serious company is wasting ad spend on Anon Babble, the leaks already showed most posters here are underage jeets, browns and other mystery meat poors. you cant even track the roi. reddit, google, facebook, television, x and billboards yes

now indy slop / weg titles - yes those are shilled by eastern europoor bot farms to try get clicks to steam to trick the steam algo into pushing it to coomers.

Me
farther away from me, less white you are

He's an honorary white.

thats what I figured, seems almost too easy to just shitpost for an actual american wage

Even when you're a giant company like Rockstar, and hiring maybe 2 shills would cost you pennies with no possible way of repercussion? You're kidding yourself here, anon.

Since its not coming out on PC and I have to buy a ps5 pro to play it this game is going to coste $1000.

Does it? I guess you've never been excited about one thing in your life which explains a lot.

Are you comfortable doing that? You know PS6 is coming out a year after that and GTV6 will be on it and play much better.
I don't know if I am poor or right by your standards but that is about how much I save each month. I would not want to skip a month of saving just to play one game

If I'm going to wait a year for a ps6 I'd rather just wait for the pc release at the same time.

Reminder that journos are parasites who 69 the industry they're supposed to hold accountable as they have a profit incentive to do so. Doesn't matter how dogshit the industry gets, they will fellate, defend or try to excuse it because journos need people buying into the industry in order for those people to give a shit about the garbage articles they peddle.

It will inevitably come out on PC. Likely only a year later.

Why would they pay someone to stir up the conversation around one of the most anticipated games of all time? The trailer already has 60,000,000 views in less than a day and it's a trending topic around the world, this fucking board isn't as important as you think, the trailer is doing all of the work you stupid nigger

i haven't even watched the latest trailer

I'll just wait until uncle Tim gives it to me for free

Cheapest bait on the internet

It came out less than 24 hours ago so it's not like you missed anything big.

You should, almost every shot of Lucia is ass focused

there are retards who won't just download the torrent for free

embarassing

yes, because unlike saario shart the world, this one is actually worth the price tag

I really doubt people would pay a whole benjamin for GTA6, but we'll see. Personally i'll pirate it like 5 years later when dust settles down. (and when gpu pricing won't be as insane as of right now)

No, I don't think I will.

you'll survive, nintendrajeet

GPU pricing isn't going down, anon. It's only going up.

I suck dicks and I'm a professional liar, listen to me

This kind of feels like psychological conditioning from journalists. Why do they need to blog post telling us they're going to buy it? what was the point of this exercise?

So you are proving Nintendo right that you will pay $80+ games and it isn't too much for games. You are just making an excuse to justify it now.

just $100

I got some bad news for you

there's an industry wide push for more expensive games now its obvious that this is their goal.
everybody thought it was just nintendo being jewy, but clearly there were industry wide meetings behind the scenes to collude for higher game costs.
at first they will probably just try it for the most prestigious and expensive franchises. then it will trickle down that even pixel remaster slop will be $80+.

Watch it be free

Watch it be fucking free.

GTAO2 and Shark Cards will launch out the gate along with multiple layers of subscription for benefits and extra shit online. The shock, hype, and mass accessibility will compensate.

I mean in all actuality it'll probably be all that and still $100 because greedy fuckers, but I can't help but wonder if T2 would be ballsy enough to explore this route considering it would still generate endless money.

what happened to all the smug confidence when you were "owning" us by preordering nintendra shitch poo?

I wouldnt play it for free

If your game demands I make an account on top of my chosen platform just to access features or to play it at all, installs another launcher, or installs an invasive "anti-cheat", im not buying your game. Simple as. I wouldn't install gta 6 if they gave it away for free.

Trump fucks up Nintendo with tariffs

Sony and Xbox went full retard and increased their prices

Why can't Trump kill GTA6?

Watch it have easy-anticheat on top of Denuvo on top of Rockstar own anti-tamper software, kek.
I'll bet my balls they'll pull something like this.
It'll be even the more hilarious if a week later someone releases a pirated, working version.

Have to

You literally dont you fucking faggot.

I still haven't gotten GTA V and it regularly goes on sale for 15 and was free on EGS. Games are just not that good anymore. They feel like chores instead of the arcadey feel.

It will either be free or less than 1$ for offline activation

Its very good for the crumbling economy?

The fact that ONE (1) report from a faggot industry analytic have made this $100 narrative spin and will in the end be a self fulfilling prophecy because every single one of you fucking faggots keep talking about it like it's fact, is fucking staggering and retarded. I hate every single one of you fags

You're a fucking retard.

you are actually retarded. all of this has been decided a long time ago already. this is just easing the shiteaters into it.

Normies are going to pay $100 to watch 300 lbs black women twerk against the patriarchy and they're going to give it a 10/10

It's bad to be (you)

Anon, MS might be retarded but they definitely have wistblower, they launched Gamepass because they knew the storm is comming, and goyim couldn't buy new hardware and even games in near future

this was priced in before you had your first nut zoom zoom

buy an ad

I wouldn't even spend $50

I wouldn't play it for free
I am spending 100€ on earthion

I don’t get it, unless you really want a game, why would you buy a game for full price? That just reflects your bad impulse control

I will not buy it. I actually don’t like the GTA games outside of Red Dead Redemption and even that is heavily flawed and I would never pay full price for any of those. This game just doesn’t look good, especially not for 100 bucks or even 70. Maybe you should lower it to 20 bucks and I might be persuaded. 20 bucks seems a more fair price for this slop.

Fun fact: that mentality is what keeps you poor. Rich people that aren’t retards are choosy with money, no matter how much it little something costs.

Nyega I consider 70€$ highway robbery and 60€$ something I must truly need, not mere wants, the game to pay for.
I am not paying 80 or 100€$ for a game, fuck right off.

this

I Hate The Fact That I Would Pay $<amount I got bribed to mention> For GTA 6

also why the fuck are journalists obsessed with capitalization? it looks like fucking AIDS and they should KYS themselves for being human trash

Still yanking your crank to ponies and babies mlp pedo boy?

it's not unreasonable if you expect to get thousands of hours out of it. it's only unreasonable because the game is going to be a piece of shit

Fuck GTA, i would pay $200 for any game that is done, content complete, patched and optimized on release and as good as it would be after years of post-release updates. Seriously. A Starfield that is as good as it ever will be on release would absolutely be worth $200 or more. I just don't want to wait years to play the best version of a game and basically get punished for picking it up on release. Same goes for Early Access or any other live service faggotry.

Very cute elf picture, I will save it

relationship in the plotline of a videogame

main character is a woman

videogame released in 2026

It's a game clearly made for twitch thots and women since they took over gaming during COVID. Why do they always ruin our hobbies bros??

I will pay 0 for goy theft auto.
I would pay 50 bucks for a physical copy of blood, with a big fat manual, in colors, and artwork, a copy that's running on current systems same way the original did without having to jump through hoops or use the fresh supply version. And that's the maximum amount I'd put in a game.

I made myself clear.

Because you let them. Games exist outside of AAA, Anon. There's a shit load of good games out there.

Games exist outside of AAA, Anon.

WISHLIST NAO!!111

Indies are AT LEAST just as bad as AAAs.

Stop going on Twitch, retard. It's breaking your mind.
Try 9 Sols. Try Nova Drift. Try Hi-Fi Rush. Try Redout 2. Try Ghostwire: Tokyo. Try any of the effectively infinite other games out there. AAA gaming is dead and has been for years. The ONLY good games are AA and Indie.

This is what i like.

You haven't played a video game since April 28?
Check out Tainted Grail, might be the kind of jank that's up your alley.

this is what I like

INZOI

Ghost Recon Breakpoint

Diablo 4

why

I didn't think kSims would be as bare bones as it turned out to be.
Breakpoint is pretty much the best singleplayer PMC game on the market my only issue is that the world is deader than a dead mmo.
Picked up D4 because i was told they had integrated proper WASD movement, they didn't. Got to level 40ish and quit.

Tainted Grail

That "indie TES" right? I'll wait for the reviews but it's on my radar.

'll wait for the reviews

It's pretty much finished. 1.0 is in a few weeks and EA build has very positive on Steam

1.0 is in a few weeks

Sounds good but what is 1.0? Is there going to be a 2.0 in a year or two? What about huge systems and mechanics patches? Content updates? I don't need another ongoing game in my library.

It's in EA on build 0.9 with a free demo. The 1.0 release build is out on the 28th.

No I won't I have self control and gta is just a shark card pay to play game only faggots will buy it at all.

That was a rhetorical question. Of course you can't answer it. I don't think even the devs can because they don't know how it's going to sell and whether or not they can afford to keep working on it. I bet they have a list of dream features as long as my arm.

companies have to increase prices for the fact that at least half of you dicks just pirate everything

$100 is nothing these days
Get a fucking job poorscum

Regardless, there's a demo, just try it yourself.

Why are you ok with having more money taken away when it doesn’t have to be?
When games were $60 did you feel that they weren’t charging enough?

I got V for free, I'll wait for Timmy handing out this too

I will pay 0$ for it and never play it. On my third playtrough of baldur's gate 3. Still playing TF2. Got the arkham games to play through. The new slop can get shafted. I'll be shit and not worth any of the hype.

Most people rented games

RDR2 is still $100 by the way

I would waste my money.

Ok? Why are you telling me this?

money taken away

Who is taking it? Are Rockstar going to debit my account without my consent?

I genuinely do not get the GTA hype. If you've played one if these games you've played all of them.

Fuck why are you people like this
Ok, how does $200 a game sound? $300? All standard editions of course

tfw still using 1050ti

So should I upgrade my Graphics card just for this

They can charge literally whatever they like. I choose where my money goes. If I think a product is worth $300 I will spend $300 on it.
The key here is I CHOOSE. Nobody is taking money from me, I am giving it to them.
I simply choose not to buy them if I don't see the value.
Your comment read as if you believe they are taking money from your pocket, when you can simply choose not to buy it.

Corpo rat jewish shilling to condition people into buying hundred dollar vidya

lol. I'm not paying any money for a sub-30 FPS game in 2026. I'll pirate it for free on PC, screw Rockstar

Are you implying you want to “play” this slop? What’s your problem

This kind of feels like psychological conditioning from journalists

Because it is. Journos don't hold this industry accountable, they're in a symbiotic relationship with it. They need the industry to do well and suck off everything the industry tries to impose because otherwise nobody would partake in it and thus nobody would read their schlock articles. So they have to condition people to go along with it.

Anon it's not going to be on PC until 2028

there are instances where I would (VERY begrudgingly) spend $100 on a new game, like if my a new entry in one of my favorite series had denuvo and it was my only option
i wouldn't even play gta 6 for free though

try getting a job and some better taste instead

YOU KNOW WHAT!
Outside of gta4, I never beat a gta or red dead. They're just so fucking boring to play through and drag like there's no tomorrow with tons of fucking pacing issues

story builds up

hits a high point in momentum

see where next story mission is

random M in the city

never did a M see how this ties into the story

HEYA sir! Wanna do Drag races against evil drug dealers

no

I will pirate it
And I will be happy

Playing GTA games is glorifying crime. It's anti-society, anti-human and nihilist behaviour. You are even forced to shoot cops. No thanks.

nta, but this is a good mindset.
I've paid $10 for a game worth $60, and would pay full price for a good followup.
Based discerning customer.

I kind of love that it’s so expensive. Children think I’m fucking Donald Trump when they see my PlayStation

I haven't even bought V on discount after all these years.

i'll never understand why people like gta so much in general, i get it when you are 15 and playing gta where you can kill hookers and do illegal stuff is very cool and you feel like a badass adult or something, but honestly most of the gtav conversations are so cringe worthy is not even funny and the gameplay is clunky af

pay 100 dollarydoos for overrated open world sloppa

No, I don't think I will. GTA5 was shit

This.
And Jack Thompson was right. We were just edgy kids that couldn't see it at the time.

Jack Thompson right about anything

opinion disregarded

i mean, i don't really care about the violence or anything and i don't really see a problem with teens playing gta, it's just for me everything gta related feels actually cringy now

LONDON!

I have about 300 hours in GTA4. Never finished the story

just because I can get 50 hours out of a jump rope doesn't mean I should pay 100 bucks for it

only if it were a limited collectors edition with a physical copy with the entire game on the disk/cart with a ton of extra physical merchandise. but since it's nu gta I won't be buying this even if it were $1

you don't pay based on how many hours you can put in it you fucking retard. are you some retarded corporate jew?

nta but it's just a way to measure value. I have spent $30 on a movie ticket that I got significantly less enjoyment out of than a $20 game I put 400 hours into.

I got GTA 5 for free, it wasn't even worth the time it took to play it. I got GTA 4 for 5 bucks of a friend and didn't finish it, I remember picking up GTA London in Poundland. GTA my whole life has been a bargain bin series that was barely worth the price I paid. I cannot imagine paying 100 dollars for another GTA sloppa.

like if my a new entry in one of my favorite series had denuvo

it'll eventually get rid of it.

yet here you are, in yet another gta thread wasting your life. top kek

Games will probably be $150 by the time GTA VI comes out considering the current state of the economy.
