    Poll Are you sticking to old consoles or moving to the new ones? (114 votes)

    Yes, I'm buying GTAV for XBONE/PS4 68%
    No, I'm sticking to X360/PS3 version. 32%

    Hey guys.

    So GTAV's launch for new consoles is less than two months away, and I wanted to know how many of you (that still play the game) are actually buying the game a second time, or just sticking to the original ones that came last year.

    Cheers

    I didn't have fun with it the first time so I highly doubt I would at a slightly higher resolution (currently only have a 768p monitor).

    Might buy it when it's 5 bucks in a Steam sale like I did for GTA4.

    But you'd be missing out on enhanced features, like more dense traffic!

    Does it have more heists? That's the only part of the game I actually enjoyed.

    I am not paying them more money for the same game when they won't even offer a discount.

    @corruptedevil: This. while I loved the game it's not worth a rebuy unless there is meaningful additional content.

    If it had more heists they would be pimping that aspect of it and not the denser traffic.

    In six or seven years the game will be on sale for $5 or $10. My PS3 will be packed away by then and I might want to play it again. That's when I'll pick up the updated version.

    I borrowed it from my brother, and did just about everything in it. It has some disappointing aspect, especially how after I beat it, I felt I was done with it, but yeah, I'll be buying it on the PS4 probably.

    If gamestop or some other retailer does something similar to what was offered for The Last of Us (half off with a last gen trade in), I'll probably take the plunge. Even though I liked GTA V and would be interested in playing it again and giving GTA Online another chance (this time with people I know), I'm still not willing to spend $60 that could go towards a new game on one I've already put 100 hours into.

    I'm replaying it right now on PS3. No point in upgrading.

    Might pick it up again years from now on PC when it's 5 bucks.

    Unsure.

    I got 100% on the PS3 version and really enjoyed the world but, unlike other GTA games, I didn't have that emotional drive to just dick around in the world blowing stuff up. I completed the story but I never really care about 100% completion on stuff. I still wanted to play the game and there just wasn't anything to do besides collect stuff and get 100% so I did it anyway and that was the end of that game.

    If I do ever get into the mood to mess around in a GTA game though then I would want the updated version. Don't really care about PC version because whatever. PS4 version will probably be just as or nearly as good and I don't care about mods or anything. I'd rather have the ease of use of the console version.

    I don't know. Unsure. Additional heists and some sort of upgrade discount would be good motivators.

    I sold my ps3 copy on eBay. Maybe down the line when its cheaper I'll pick up the ps4 version. Wasn't really a fan of the story in V, but I did really love the world they created and would love to see it more properly realized on better hardware.

    Probably won't get it on a new console. For one, I don't own one yet, but also, I'd want to get it on PC for potential mods.

    I never played the story on PS3 because i knew a PS4/X1 and PC version would come 1-2 years down the road so yeah i am picking it up on PS4. The no-story thing was just an extra excuse to buy it since i buy GTA for the just madness of the open world.

    I debated about getting it on PC but my work computer is also my gaming computer in my home office and i have never been a fan of desk gaming. I like to keep it lazy for gaming sessions that last 1+ hours.

    Yep, I played through it myself twice and got about 50% of the way through a "follow traffic laws and try to socialize with all your friends as often as possible" run that revealed a ton of cool extra dialog and just things to notice about the world if you're traveling through it super slowly. I also watched my girlfriend play through the entire game over an 8 month period. A lot of the story's charm has worn off, it's a disturbingly angry game once all the jokes and surprises have worn off, but it's just so damn fun.

    The main reason I plan to get it for PS4 (and will be buying it on disc) is I bought the PSN version of the game, which has many if not all of the same pop-up and world density issues as the 360 version famously did if you installed both discs of the game. I'm still a little salty the media didn't make a big stink about that since it's really the only case I can think of where a digital download version of a game performed markedly worse than it's disc counterpart, and while I've loved living all digital on PS4 I just don't want to get burned again.

    But I think it's still one of the prettiest, coolest looking games I've ever played and I'll happily buy it again to have little to no pop in instead of the constant stuff I've been seeing on PS3. I'd been contemplating buying the game again on disc for months before they teased the current-gen version anyway.

    If I ever double dip on this game it will probably be on PC and with a 75% Steam sale or something. I don't know, I just have no desire to play GTA V again. Maybe that will change with time.

    Double dippin' like Scottie Pippen*. (at some point... not at full price)

    The extra stuff is cool and all, but my real reason for dippin' twice at half the price like Vanilla Ice* is that I always feel like it's going to eat my launch-era 360 alive, so I'd like to enjoy it without my fingers constantly crossed.

    *I apologize for both of those horrendous lines**

    **not really

    It's pretty mean-spirited the first time around, "Cunts of Suburbia" being an example that springs to mind.

    Haven't touched my PS3 copy since I beat it, if they ever release some singleplayer DLC I'll pick up a current-gen version when cheap. Or if super cheap on a eventual steam sale.

    I never finished it on 360 and ended up trading it in but I always kinda regretted it so I might grab it again on the Xbox One, although maybe not right away.

    I will likely get the PC version at some point, since I didn't play the last-gen version... but probably not right away, either.
    I'll likely wait for a Steam sale or something.

    I've never played it, so I'll get the PS4 version. I'll get the PC version later down the line after it goes on sale (late next year?), depending how the mods are.

    I'm not giving Rockstar another dime until the PC version is proven to be good and actually includes every feature promised. Here we are a year later and the console versions from 2013 still don't have online heists, which is one of the primary reasons I even bought GTA V for 360 in the first place.

    Since it appears RockStar will not be adding any substantive single player content I figure I will just stay with the PS3 version.

    I can appreciate that the graphical touches are nice, but I was really hoping the introduction of the game on PS4/XBONE would add new single player missions add more building you can enter and add more NPC characters to the single player game. I was really just hoping they would flesh out the main story a bit more and add more people to meet that has stories to tell. Cruising around a bit would be fun, but there really needs to be an incentive to jump back in the world.

    The version for next gen consoles are fine fore people who have not experienced the game yet. This just my opinion, but they really have not put enough in there for last gen players to care.

    I plaitnumed this game on PS3, but if I can transfer my character over to PC I might get it again on PC. Mostly for mods I guess.
