The cynical side of me says they think "Well the last of us got away with it so why cant GTA 5?"SonCamKu said:It is really ridiculous how they expect you to pay for a game you already bought that came out a year ago for a new game price
Agreed and same here. I wish the OP had provided a Pastebin of the article in question so that people don't have to give them hits if they want to see what the OP is talking about.veloper said:There's a good reason to despise Gamespot, but this is not it.
Anyway, I'm not even going to click on the link, so to deprive them of at least one page hit.
So how is gamespot reporting on what a suit for Rockstar and/or Take-Two trying to explain why the new version of GTA 5 costs $60 and not taking a stand on way or the other on the issue it (unless that is your problem with gamespot's article) destroying the video game console industry?Gergar12 said:http://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-youll-buy-gta-5-again-on-xbox-one-ps4-pc-accor/1100-6422411/
So you want me to pay another sixty dollars after I already brought the full game at sixty dollars, while accepting more Micro Transactions that will make me pay even more for the game on top of the sixty dollars I already paid for a new version of a existing game. The more I kept reading it, the angrier I got.
Atleast in the regular media, it's republican vs democrat. In the video game industry, it's bascally 70-80 percent mainstream vs 20-30 percent critics.
This shit is what will kill atleast the video game console industry.

Anyway, joke's on them. I won't even buy GTA 5 once!
*shakes fist*
Am I doing it right?
Pretty much this. These are the same sort of people who go completely apeshit because some total stranger with no real authority assigned Game X an arbitrary number that was one-tenth less than the arbitrary number they thought it deserved. Seriously, who gives that much of a fuck? Just play the games you like and get on with your life, I say.Phasmal said:Those damn JOURNALISTS!Colour Scientist said:It doesn't matter.

Writing THINGS... about stuff!
How dare they...
OT: Seriously?
Seriously?
THIS is KILLING games journalism? Killing the console industry?
I think some gamers just need a lie down in a dark room to think about things.
I blame part of this on the greed of publishers, Microsoft, and Sony and the lack of backwards compatiblity on the Xbox One and the PS4 which why we're seeing this a lot of this shit.michael87cn said:yeah its pretty shady and seeming to become more popular.
tomb raider, diablo, you name it they're trying to re-release games to milk them for more money. Why should you pay full price for something that didn't take a full-price amount of work to make? you upgrade the graphics a little and make it run on a different machine. You didn't make a brand new game. Stop trying to rip us off.
Shhhh.... You'll convince the OP that Blue Ray reviews are what killed VHS and we'll get twenty posts like this a day in an effort to "take down the man".Spudgun Man said:You buy a film on VHS, then it comes out on blu ray with some extra shiny knobs and whistles, you pay the money again because it's another instance of the game, it's not like your buying another copy for the same console...
