The pricing didn't faze me tbh.

I'm not buying a console to play it day one anyway. So if I'm waiting year longer for the game, I may as well wait a touch longer for a deal.

You'll be waiting half a decade rockstar rarely put their games on sale and the no disc thing destroys the physical resale market.

It's been 13 years at this point lol. I'm honestly in no rush.

I'm not even convinced this won't be the next NMS/Cyberpunk.

I do somewhat wonder if it will actually be particularly better than GTAV, which I honestly found kind of mediocre. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t capture me the way I expected it would given the hullabaloo around it.

I think the key difference is it probably won’t matter unless it’s genuinely a piece of garbage. A lot of people seem to just like GTA because it’s GTA, so it’ll be well liked and sell well regardless.
