Also, are you stoked? Seems like two of the biggest/most anticipated releases in years.

My copy of Zelda shipped. First time I have bought a game on release date in several years. Not too interested in GTA 6, but I will probably get it in a year or two.

    Nope. Over a decade of anti-consumer practices or churning out broken and unfinished cash grabs vaguely disguised as games have convinced me that pretty much every AAA dev studio and major publisher don’t deserve my money. I’ve been more than happy lately sticking to indie titles and playing games from the late 2000s or older

      Exactly my take.
      I’m vicariously happy for anyone from the generations after mine getting into Ocarina of Time for their first playthrough, but I’m personally more interested in getting the decomps to work and reliving my favorite Christmas present on my own terms

      i thought GTA V had a solid single-player campaign without any cash grabs.

      I don’t mind a company soaking the rubes if it also has a good non-rapist-mentality mode.

        Rockstar canceled the three single player dlcs to shove all that content into GTAO behind prices so inflated that you pretty much needed to pay real money for the vehicles

          I played it on Steam with a VR Mod and had a good time. I woudn’t pay full price for any AAA game, but I don’t see a problem with a buying a game if it offers you a good experience separate from the cash grabbing.
