Pre-order GTA V?

Go to solution Solved by Fate,

Virtual money that can be made in a day of playing does not outweigh the risk of potentially spending $60 on a garbage game. 

I say don't give into the preorder bonuses or else it'll make the game industry more shit than it already is. The more people who preorder leads to more content being taken out of the game leading to less effort put into the game, making AAA games more garbage than they already are recently. Wait a few minutes/hours after release for the reviews, the servers will probably be too fucked up to play right away anyways.

I've been the longest still playing GTA San Andreas player in Latvia lol. Since I love that game, I didn't buy it, so for 60 euros would it be a good deal to get GTA V + 700k in GTA Online and 500k offline and a GTA:San Andreas? What would you do? thnx 4 answrs btw

 

Note: I will be getting rid of my cpu bootlenecking my gpu

Pre-order and future-proof are taboo here on the forum. :P

if you pre order a game u r gonna have a bad time. Sooner than later these days. I would wait few days after release, watch youtube videos with people similar specs playing it and then buy it or not. Rockstar is no different in shitty ports - looking at you GTA IV.
