I look at it as I'm going to get my money's worth out of it and they did a good enough job IMO to deserve the price tag. The online is where the fun is thickest so if I wait until it's on sale and my friends don't play it much anymore then the value will have dropped more than the price.

Admittedly I didn't know all of that for sure in advance. But there were hints it was so.

I rarely buy games full price, though.

FINALLY it's on sale. 33% off dropping the price to $40.

Might be time to pull the trigger.

Do I buy GTA within the next 22 hours while it's still 33% off knowing that I'm playing Wasteland 2 currently, but rewarding Rockstar for dropping the price to an appropriate level?

OR

Do I wait and see if it's 33% off again during the Steam Christmas sale since I won't be playing it until then even if I buy it now and earn whatever trinkets are given out during that sale?

The in game video editor has spawned a ton of entertaining and weird videos, like a 15 minute nature documentary.

That's both awesome and disturbing.

What am I missing in GTA V Online? My game looks a million times lamer than everyone I see streaming it.

I don't mean in terms of graphics.

I've watched Ash get medivaced to a hospital, walked in by a player medic, and get greeted by a player doctor who cured her wounds from a cougar attack. Another guy owns a casino and other players come in to gamble.

When I got online, it was mostly just me running missions, but encountering very few other players?
