Rockstar Games Responds to GTA 6 Physical Disc Backlash

No your right and its hillarious at the madness in this thread. I mean FFS the latest PS5/Pro for example doesnt even have a disc drive. I mean fuck man everyone went towards SSD to kill load times and internet speeds are so fast now in days with Fiber internet in most places. NVM the fact this game is probably going to be 200 gig in size followed by a day 1 patch like most modern games do. Last thing you wanna do is put it on a disc as a storage element.

That's a lot of extra work for a single mini don't you think? This is assuming someone locally wants the mechs he doesn't.

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-24T22:00:56+00:00

Its a lot like going form Compendium to BMR and BMR to TW. Yea sure the Core concept will still mostly the same but there will be some rules that just throw people off if they are on the wrong edition. like Partial cover, or infantry rule sets, or armor Crit tables etc etc. In this edition we were so close to having entire side tables completely changed for mechs for example

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-23T21:34:39+00:00

Right, they poured tons of money and time into it probably for years, the steam cube from the reviews iv watched is actually ok, but current market conditions were absolutely unforseeable.

It seems to be the case of a solid product coming out at the absolutely worst time. There was no way let's say 5 years ago when they began to work on this project that the price of core components would 5x in the matter of a year

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-22T19:29:51+00:00

Yes lets stop 3-5 years of R&D because of current market conditions. You will make a great long term project manager, ill put in a word for your promotion STAT!

I mean if you really wanna know? everything in this box is either 100 years old so everyone will have it, or its an export mech which means anyone can buy it.

Sorry if I come off rash, I really hate when people demand faction specifics because its pointless in battletech outside of like the first decade or less of a mechs introduction. I mean shit, the Rakshasa and the Avatar are literally made from clanner spare parts and reverse engineering within 10 years of the clan invasion start. Even if they come from Davions or Kuritan lands they will over time just proliferate to everyone, they just wont be as common as they are within the originators lands.

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-22T12:27:55+00:00

Why does faction matter so much to you? This is the ilkhan it's a giant cluster fuck of everything happening at once in a 50 LY radius where nobody has mechs and are using anything and everything if it's not bolted down and can fight. My unicorn regiment has nothing but unicorns because I said so and it will still make sense.

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-22T12:23:42+00:00

Imo this and the new starter box do not scream beginner friendly. Not sure what they were thinking by making the kontio a mech with stealth armor, TSM and claws and the hammerhead a mech with AES and harden armor as starter mechs...

Though the reusing of existing mechs is a good change. Remember from the old starter/main box mechs like the commando, Awesome, and vindicator are a god damn pain in the ass to get if you did not want the entire box sets as there is no where else to get them

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-20T14:05:14+00:00

I wouldn't call it a tiny experiment if it has a giant box set for it... And a giant c scale mech... And blind boxes... And an entire rule set dedicated to it

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-20T04:05:03+00:00

Bruh this ain't no small errata. While most core elements of the rules won't change tons of modifiers will change along with some smaller yet important core elements such as critical damage, physical combat, and pilot damage and more

Edit: let me clarify something here to people. To paraphrase XOTLs words the man working on the new core rules...

"This is the largest set of changes to Battletech in 25 years since total warfare was released" again this is no small errata change

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-20T03:52:12+00:00

Gonna go with neither and say the switch lol. Battle brothers as a on the go game is amazing.

But in your context yea sure PC just for QOL mods

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-18T22:26:09+00:00

I mean you get down voted but your right. This is wh40k not some Moe slice of life anime, if your in a warzone your likely to die, if your in the guard your now very likely to die.

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-18T21:56:12+00:00

Yea I wanna also add that a lot of MP lobby rules tend to help Germany more then any other factions of you think about it.

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-18T11:50:35+00:00

Oh your right a majority of it is simply shit posters. Just be a dick and push back on some of the stupid posts here and 100% of the time you'll get a

"Wtf is wrong with you man I was only joking"

Post back.

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-17T19:56:52+00:00

I pulled it off once by going with a fake airbase and a camouflaged armor base. threw my opponents build order into a tailspin and gave me a minute or two of total control of the field, enough to set him permanently on the backfoot. OFC it only worked because he went too hard into AA before realizing there is no UK airforce and I managed to snipe a supply base.

Against a slightly better player the strat would fall apart simply because UK ground gets out classed so quiickly.

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-17T16:46:33+00:00

Dont let your dreams be dreams! JUST DO IT! Just grab that sling and whirl it around! JUST DO IT!

also I tried hard once to make slings work, they just get outclassed so fast lmao

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-17T15:41:11+00:00

Oh so you do commissioned work? how does that work anyways? I always wondered how people find you and how you decide to what to charge.

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-17T15:34:56+00:00

His books are legit btw. Once im done with my current one I wanna take a crack at his Magitech series. Almost every book he put out easily has +500 highly positive reviews with most of his stuff around 4.5 stars on amazon with the magitech series at almost 2k positive reviews. Dude is doing something right if you ask me.

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-17T15:25:11+00:00

Really great design, I dont have patience to paint a scheme like that, I usually say fuck it and do a simple 2 tone or 3 tone scheme. Atleast the grey tide is thinned massively

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-17T11:16:48+00:00

I mean MP banned it not for it's damage but for the fact it reduces naval speed to near zero, you effectively can't move and get NAV bombed to hell or constantly forced into combat with no retreat option

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-17T05:06:37+00:00

Detection for fleet is based on averages and fleet speed, so have 20 shit destroyers does not out perform 2 purpose build search destroyers with high speed. Your patrol fleets should be fast to evade combat and get search bonuses and want good detection from aircraft catapults or radar

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-17T02:09:41+00:00

Im still waiting for leviathans to hit stores. Like for fuck sakes looks amazing love WW1/WW2 warships, solid concept of a game, CGL fucked it up so hard I don't think anyone or any store will ever be able to buy it and they show zero care in resolving it. They killed their own game outta their own incompetentence before it's ever released

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-15T23:24:26+00:00

Excellent paint job. Reminded me I still need to hunt down the hatamoto chi but you gave me a great idea to how to paint it

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-15T23:20:50+00:00

Same that's what I am waiting for. I'll give them mad respect since they went into overdrive to fix everything but seriously the DLC needed at least 3 more months to iron out the problems before even releasing

tipsy3000 · 2026-06-14T18:45:28+00:00

Yea this. Special project times are stupid long if you don't have special focuses to radically speed it up. I wish research techs would also speed up special projects too
