R* is the company that infuriates me the most. They do the p2w micro transactions shit but get away with it unlike everyone else. There was outrage a few years back when Battlefront 2 game out and people saw how much of a cash grab it was and people were all pissed off about it. People were calling out companies for doing this shit yet somehow the only company that was barley mentioned was R*. The reason I think this is is because their single player components were actually pretty fucking good and people overlook their shady business practices because single player RDR2 and GTAV was fun to play at one point.
Everything they make is gold, but when you see the legendary 2000-2010 run they had and compare it to this last decade its trash. We got 7 classics from 2000-2010. We got an okay game, two great games and a mediocre game from 2010-2020, and were starting off this decade with another fucking GTAV.

And I get that it’s harder and takes more time to develop these games as they become bigger and more ambitious, but their output has clearly been affected by making more bullshit by GTAO and RDRO in order to sell gay cards and brokeback mountain bucks.
Were not getting a new title for at least another three years.
Fuck GTAO and fuck all the kids who use their moms credit card to buy shark cards.

We knew that at launch

Yet it still exist to this day and have received more praise, more players, more game time and more money than any of the game before it and you contrarians know it, no amount of cope, shitposting, name calling is gonna change the fact that gta V is the one of the biggest symbol of modern gaming

Why the fuck do people spend so fucking much on GTA:Online? Because of this Rockstar can slow everything down.

>no liberty city/vice city stories

Because the base game is so good it remains fun to plug away at even after a bunch of hours

Aren't left all the same apart from IV?

>took weeks for it to stablize
>months for actual content
>a year for it all to go to shit with powercreep

>contrarians
Not even. Go to the any GTAO community, most people are constantly complaining about the game, be it the stupid cash grab paywalls, retarded overpricing for recent DLC add-ons, or gamebreaking additions. Everyone except pea brained 8 year olds and microdicked oppressor spammers hate rockstar and their business practices. If you play on voicechat, most people think RS is a shit company.

It's literally on Take 2 not Rockstar.

>received more praise,
Irrelevant because it because it implies I'm supposed to care about game journos.
>more players
Zoomers, therefore irrelevant.
>more game time
Because it's online and based around DLC.
>and more money
Based around DLC.
>gta V is the one of the biggest symbol of modern gaming
And perfectly shows everything wrong with it.

Or admit creating games takes way longer now.

it takes a special kind of person to sit online all day complaining about video games he doesn't like

What? No. GTA 3 and Vice City are similar but have a different story, different setting, different characters. Vice City originally was supposed to be a map pack for 3 and it come out a little over a year later.
San Andreas is wildly different than Vice City and 3.

While all those games released R* also came out with Manhunt 1+2, Max Payne 1+2, Bully, Midnight Club, the Warriors, Red Dead Revolver and finished off the decade with Read Dead Redemption.
Fuck GTAO and R*.

lousy devs adding content to their games the nerve

You’re not wrong about everything you said. I can imagine that’s why Dan left since Takepoo wants every R* game to have an online component they can milk.

>zoomer who was born in 2002 defends GTAO, R* and Takepoo

Every thread, everytime.

The next game is called Project America, it will have literally all the cities (and maybe huge highways connecting them, pure kino)

They are taking their time with GTA6 because it's huge

No. There is literally no reason to rush bringing out new content if your old content is making you mad passive income, in fact it's the opposite and it'd be counterproductive splitting your audiences.

More and more devs and publishers are realizing this and are moving to a 0-effort live service model where they make a base game and then just add pointless trivial items to buy with real money for years to come, and make more money than they would making actual full-fledged games that require hard work, passion, crunch, and also risk failure. We're going back to the good old arcade days but with a twist, and the standalone home console single player game is about to be a relic of the past.

it was cancer from the start and was never a good game, the community does things better than developers and SA:MP/MTA and it's legacy proves this

Your age needs to be eighteen or higher in order to post on this website.

face it, Online was the logical place to take GTA

If you are and are shilling for GTAO then hats even sadder.

>No criticism, only upvote hug boxes!
>No discourse on how the gaming industry can be improved, consume! Buy shark cards and Funko Pops!

>heh, sorry kid you can't just go against the hivemind like that

It's called finding another game to play lol

bro
pokemon has been selling the same game for 25 years now

Laziness pays in the videogame industry

Rockstar is cancer

It was, but it came at the expense of a prolific output and single player games. If online was what it was and single player DLC came out, or RDR2 came out sooner and we had info on their new upcoming releases, fine, whatever. At this point though they’re literally just sitting on their ass and watching the VBucks come in.

Even as lazy as pokemon is, they haven't literally re-sold the exact same game for three console generations in a row.
The worst game freak did in that respect was remaking the RBY gen for a second time.

I don’t give a fuck about Pokémon.

Why are people even waiting for GTA VI? Even if it does come out, it's going to be shit. The absolute worst game of the series. Rockstar were already losing their creativity with GTA V, and now that the main writers are gone there is zero chance the game will be good. GTA VI will be like listening to shitty cover songs of your favorite band. Or watching a movie from one of your favorite directors but they weren't actually involved in the process of making it at all. Whenever I need my GTA fix I'll just replay VC or SA. Those games are timeless.

It will be the best GTA ever

Is it not worthy of discussion that one of the best game companies is not living up to their potential in favor of quick cash? I do play other games, but it doesn't make it less of a shame that, for example, I have to buy cakes from an inferior baker because the former best baker in town decided to become an alcoholic and sprinkle shit on top of his formerly delicious cakes.

gta online is super fun, and was super fun before they started shitting out the businesses left and right. at its core, its very enjoyable, its just been mishandled in the past several years.

Didn't GTA V come out on the PS3 and Xbox 360?

I didnt play gtaV after 2 years but didnt they also add a bunch of free shit like new cars jetpacks heists and other free shit? Also was the mount chilliad mystery ever solved?

Yeah people are still playing GTAO because it's such a shitty game lol

All of which would take 7-14 hours to grind out and pay for with money you earned, or will cost whatever you want it too if you purchase shark cards with real money, which is where the issue lies.

Dan still had a part in writing VI so it should be good.
Whatever comes after is what we should worry about.

t. born 2003.

I just want Bully 2 bros. It’s all I’ll ever want

I believe that microtransactions should be made illegal.
Convince me otherwise.

Don't blame the game.

thats only true if youre starting from zero money right? surely they didnt nerf payouts to missions and heists

Is the Big Bang Theory a better show than the Sopranos?

Yes, thats why you see mods online that directly port features from 1 game to another. Each game is built with RenderWare and have the identical structure to them.
