Davkaus Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I still can't decide whether to buy a ps4 pro or wait until the PC release comes out in a year or two. A game like this deserves better than the poverty spec of the base ps4, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see how any of the DLC stuff in the special and ultimate represents £15 or £30 worth of content, so I've gone for the standard. I dare say it's quite good, but I'm sure the mission and hideout (basically the only things I would be interested in) will be available individually at some point down the line. Just gone for the standard version. If they make any story dlc I’ll wait for a sale on the season pass. After promising story dlc for gta v and then not delivering it I was pissed off last time so I’m waiting this time. 57 minutes ago, Davkaus said: I still can't decide whether to buy a ps4 pro or wait until the PC release comes out in a year or two.

villa4europe Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 im sure i had seen somewhere the pro is dropping to the same price as the normal one, not sure when though and unless you have both is anyone buying an xbone over the PS4? multiplat might be slightly better but the ps4 is smashing exclusives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halo & Forza Horizon > God of War for me personally. Be boring if everyone bought the same console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS4 is an expensive ornament bar yakuza games for me. I have only ever played 2 halo & Gears of war games too so not like i am mad for the exclusives other than Forza Edited October 16, 2018 by LakotaDakota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted October 17, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 17, 2018 Just now, LakotaDakota said: I'm kidding. I haven't played a Forza for years. Actually, I'm half kidding. I do think the general consensus is that GT Sport is better. But I can't have an opinion as I've only played one side of the argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted October 17, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 17, 2018 Rockstar have caught some flack for boasting some of their team had been doing 100hr weeks to get this done. Their response hasn't helped either - people aren't forced to work such crazy hours and it's a privilege to work for them. Hmm. Rockstar have previous for working teams to the bone - Red Dead Redemption 1 supposedly had a horrendous development period with many of the team kinda hating it by the end (see also the fact RDR1 is apparently a complete mess underneath that barely hangs together, which is why it never got a PC port and also why it has so many bizarre bugs), L.A. Noire's development was a nightmare. I'm not sure they treat their staff that well, and can only assume there's a pay premium to work there (or that they have terrible staff turnover). It's a shame they make such good stuff as it rewards the shitty practices. Of course 'crunch' isn't something unique to Rockstar and it's plagued the games industry for years (with stories of staff basically living in their offices to get things finished, right down to sleeping bags on the floor, being all too common), but Rockstar seem to particularly have stories of how bad things get as deadlines loom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even for shit game industry salaries, Rockstar pay poorly, they get in a bunch of mugs who would love to work for Rockstar and work them to the bone. some of those guys putting in ridiculous hours will be on less than 30k in central Edinburgh.

Ingram85 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Join the queue. It’s not just the gaming industry. It’s pretty much every sector these days plus the gig economy. Shit jobs, shit conditions and shit pay is the status quo for this country now. I work in the NHS and it’s no different. Over worked, unsafe conditions and shit pay. Doesn’t make it less important to sort it out but yeah. I can only dream of earning close to 30k. I’m still getting the game. Crack on and make my swinging horse bollocks animations realistic you coding slaves! This isn’t a ‘it’s crap for me so lump it’ kind of post. I genuinely acknowledge there’s an issue but there are issues in every job sector that need sorting. Under a Tory government what do you expect for workers rights? It’ll be worse soon as May et al go extra evil with no EU stuff to hold them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) I've surprised myself and have gone down the digital preorder route. It seems it's the best chance I'm going to have to get out of bed at 7am and be able to play it straight away. Is that worth the extra £10? Not sure. But I'm happy to pay it in this instance.
