Another delay?

 

$59.99 price for a game over a year old and just ported?

 

I think I'll wait for a sale with a significant markdown. I'd only pay $59.99 if it were released on PC simultaneously with the PS3/X360 release. Although I'd be a bit reluctant to pay that when new releases are typically $49.99, this should have been $40 since it's over a year old now. They're reaching a smaller audience now, there are not as many as they think that are going to re-buy on PS4, XBOne, PC. The PC port won't move that many sales and if they lower the price they'll get a lot more sales. Otherwise most will go pfft and wait for a sale. At least Capcom has the right idea porting their games and older titles, RE: Remake port here I come. It's funny cause Dead Rising 3 had a discount before it was released and I only paid $40 for it. 

 

Sorry if yammering here, I'm groggy so I hope I've made sense.

Not sure where you've been but pretty much all AAA games now release at $59.99, pc included. That's not a new thing at all.

^ What happened to PC gaming being cheaper? PC gamers already pay out the behind for hardware that publishers/developers don't want to utilize adequately. We are talking about a port of a game over a year old now seeing yet another delay. Capcom is considered a major publisher aren't they? Dead Rising 3 was an AAA title wasn't it? I was able to purchase that at $40 because oddly it had a discount before it was released. I'm hoping R* grows a brain and slashes the price down to something sane like $40 or even $50 would be better. As it is a lot of fans lost respect for R* and are reluctant to purchase R* games digitally after what they pulled with removing content from GTA:SA retroactively regardless of purchase date. They would get more sales and money if they lower the price otherwise most will wait for a sale or it to hit bargain bin prices.

 

If they had ported the game over a year back with the PS3/Xbox 360 release charging $59.99 would've made more sense.

for petes sake.  

i lost the will to care.    

 

all this gta online and heists..         they should have worked more on PC single player, and released that.    then slowly roll out gta online for PC and then add heists when they are ready.

by focusing on the online stuff, then basically gave PC gamers the finger.    and to pc players who preordered they gave a giant ###### with a cherry on top.

 

 

if the single player was out for PC, everyone would not mind waiting for online features for a while longer. they will have something to do, and catch up to console players in their skills and experience.

 

everyone would be much happier on PC side, and they can take all the time they want to work on heists and other online stuff.

 

 

 

 

 

definately not supporting them with my money, even if it means, they will have even less interest in PC afterwards.    it is hard to care anymore....   even though GTA came from PCs/

Rockstar isn't going to cut the price on it just because it's been a year. Have to remember they never planned on making the game for current gen systems and PC. I got it for PS4 and never regretted or looked back, was well worth it imo.

Rockstar doesn't want my USD 60 for some reason.

They didn't? Wasn't there that whole thing where people found code for windows on the GTA discs around the time it first came out? Or is that a different game I'm thinking of?

 

Also every other GTA game has made it's way to pc so it stands to reason this one would too, eventually.

I question the intelligence of their tech support,

One of my cars vanished, and after submitting a ticket, and 4 days of back and forth banter about which car, I'm STILL being asked which car,

IT HAS BEEN MENTIONED IN THE TICKET HEADER AND MESSAGES OVER 10 TIMES NOW!

Still, least they said they would refund me the cost of a replacement vehicle and mods, so it's not a total loss.

sad that they are delaying it yet again, but i suppose its better than the mess that was the release of gta iv on pc which wasn't playable for months after release.

Game looks amazing. No sense in pretending we arent going to buy it the second its released, regardless of the delays.

OMG, I need share this

I was waiting for a couple of guys to get caught up on their heist prep.

They had to drill the safe, and the guy instructing was telling the driller to 'ease it in'

And to make matters worse, he kept saying stuff like, 'you need to take it slow' and 'if it's turning red, you need to pull it out a little'

And, he couldn't figure out why I was laughing so hard......

I absolutely ###### myself I was laughing so hard

Why?

 

It's been a year and a half.  The online wasn't that good (in my opinion) the heists were the only thing I kind of was looking forward to.  But I've moved on.  And naturally there are launch issues, so I can't even be bothered.

They're released now. I've done them all and were fun. 5 in total and hoping they bring us more soon. Are some parts you'll rage on also getting the same people will be difficult as well. The only enemy still is unknown connection error please return to grand theft auto v lol

I've bought the armored Kuruma, new dirt bike currently at 7.5m. Waiting to get to 12m to buy the lectro, hydra and savage. What system are you on?

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.

      I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.

[Start menu] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Start menu reflecting newly installed or removed apps without requiring sign-out or restart. [Taskbar] Fixed an issue for Insiders using the new smaller taskbar option, where the system tray might get cut off or pushed off screen. [Settings] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Settings > Apps > Startup. [Virtualization] - Also available in Beta This update addresses an issue that could result in bugchecks citing HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) errors after installing the latest flights on some devices during system restarts, virtual machine operations, or while running some gaming applications. You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
