Really? My prediction when the game was revealed to be a digital code only, I thought there will be a Collectors Edition later for maybe 180 maybe 199 Euros / Dollars with the game on disc included. And this would be a controversy for the high price. But they did it, they overshadowed my prediction. Wow... just wow.

That's because you're buying the tat, but only renting the game.

No, it doesn't come with everything. It comes with a bunch of cheap crap highly overpriced. And I suspect it will be soldout because that's what realgamers™ want right now.

How long until we get the “scalpers bought them all and are selling for $1000” article?

AFAIK, not the first game to sell a tat-collection without a game, and imo, not entirely unreasonable - but before my crucifixion, hear me out: The tat-box is platform agnostic, and can arrive whenever and the customer is playing their game on whatever platform they wish (or, can) when it's sold separately. If you absolutely need to have the collectible tat, no need to wait (as long).

But... 400 units of money for that tat? AbsofuckinglutelyNOPE.

This is cursed.

I think a lot of people will be very angry with the game, I predict further outrageous gouging at every opportunity if this is any indication. Like having-to pay-to-reload-your-gun-kinda gouging.

Well, as usual I will wait for the game of the year diamond edition to see.

Yall remember the master chief helmet with halo 3?

This shit ain't it lmao

Fair enough, there will be people buying it regardless.

But does the stuff HAVE to look so tacky and cheap? All artwork looks extremely uninspiring. The sun and the manatee look like some lame AI art.

Lol so they made a blade and a spoon and mirror that's supposed to signify cocaine use.

Dude. If you chop up shit on that mirror its going to scrape off that picture and get whatever paint material they used everywhere including in your nose.

They couldn't have made a design on the edges of the mirror that isn't glass?

Dumb.

But buying this shit with no game included? Somehow, even more dumb.

And no I'm not glorifying cocaine use, in fact this collectors edition is the one doing that, but I am simply saying that this is reality. Anyone who has ever done cocaine will be able to tell you this is a bad idea.

Vice City and San Andreas are the only two titles of the series I regularly return to.

I should be hyped as fuck, but I'm not. The more I see and read this feels just soulless.

The first GTA in around 30 years I'll probably never play.

I wonder how they'll run ads in the game.

Not defending it, in any way shape or form - but the regular versions of the included Oakley Frogskin sunglasses retail for almost half the price of this “CE”.

Not sure exactly why they decided to do this - but I can imagine this (in conjunction with the ludicrously overpriced vinyl set) is intended to milk as much money out of the most die-hard fans as quickly as possible to appease shareholders and recoup the supposed $2b budget.

People are stupid. They will buy it.

Hmm what's that spoon for?

😂

"Swizzle Spoon" 😉
