bluesboyjr Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 If anything R* are acting like teenagers deleting dissenting comments off their page like an angsty teen deleting myspace messages they dont like. Sorry to break it to you, but every company does that. On the official Saints Row forums, topics pointing out how SR3's DLC was already on the disc get instantly deleted. A company's webpage is supposed to be like a big advertisement - you wouldn't let your advert be covered in "YOU SUCK" messages, would you?

bobgtafan Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Rockstar definitely has their own strategy of releasing information and keep the hype alive, so a bunch of teens whining about GTA V info on their social hubs won't get ANY further... Please don't speak for me. I am certainly not going to give R* one dime. Will I get the game? Yes, but it will be second-hand so that R* doesn't receive anything from me. good luck waiting after it releases Trust me go to Gamestop, they have it used within 24 hours. Besides that I never buy a game right when it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeeebuuus Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I think R* could wait until a couple of weeks before releasing the game and then finally advertise it and everyone on this forum will still buy it. Of course some will be crying the whole time but in the end they will get their bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotusRIP Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) They don't have to give us everything right now. All we need is one word - "OCTOBER" - and we would all settle down. It's not much to ask for when they have boxes on display in shops expecting us to pay $110 or whatever for a preorder for a game that at this stage doesn't even exist. Yep, one word, "OCTOBER". Which would soon be changed to "MARCH", then "SORRY, WE MEANT JULY", then "NOPE, IT WAS OCTOBER, OCTOBER 2013", then "WE REALLY DIDN'T THINK THIS THROUGH". Lol. Spot-on impression. So true, like I've said before on here... the release date will be the "release date" + 6 months. All these people saying "oh cut it out you impatient spoilt brats, it's going to come out in October like I always thought" will be delighted to know that their guesstimate of October is also wrong and they should brace themselves for a 2013 release. It's always later than expected/initially announced, so an October release date means it'll probably hit shelves March-April 2013.

LotusRIP Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Don't forget they'll want to use the rest of the 7 months of the year still promoting Max Payne 3, hosting multiplayer events, releasing DLC's. If they release GTAV or any more info that would steer the attention away too. So 2012 is basically out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallis Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Exactly. New IPs are welcomed, but not in the place of GTA. First priority comes first. That's exactly right. V isn't taking so long because R* are flat out working on it putting as much detail in as possible. It's taking so long because they shelved it. They should have been working hard on it instead of Red Dead, LA Noire and MP3 over the last few years. It would have been released by now with all those hours spent on it. Sure, if GTA V is finished and there's spare time, work on the other games then. But don't neglect the main fanbase, A bird in the hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokesminus Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Because GTA practically sells itself, as everyone already knows all about it. Rockstar could throw the game on shelves tomorrow unannounced and it would still sell like petrol. Their other games, on the other hand, need more marketing shenanigans to build up their hype. People don't buy games unless they know what to expect. I would have to agree with you on that one but despite it being able to sell itself there are a lot of people that just wouldn't know much about GTA and wouldn't think twice about it. But there is still the fact that this keeps secret marketing strategy sucks and there is too many questions about this game that need to be answered all they have done is raise loads of questions. They need to at least let the basics out and stop trying to think keeping it secret would make it better. Cause that leads to more questions and angry fans they are acting like they are kings and fans can shut up and keep waiting. They don't care one bit that whole statement was rude and aggressive we will release more info when we are ready to talk and shut up till then oh and it might be a while before you hear anymore info from us. it's just very childish and a bit like we do what we wanna do and you shut up and wait like good little children. Teasing us with a location that we all loved announcing a game that is one of the best free roam games around then making us wait like lemmings. There getting too big for there own boots now.

bluesboyjr Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Well if it was up to me Id make sure there wouldnt be any reason for fans to say I suck. And how would you do that, Zee? The GTA fanbase does not have one shared hivemind, where we can all agree on what is good and what is bad. Whatever Rockstar would say, halve the fanbase disagrees with it, and half laps it up. You can never please everyone. And then you get the fact that Rockstar does not lay all their plans around appeasing this fanbase. They aim their games at Mr. Average Joe Gamer, not you and I.

Your acting like spoiled brats, ranting at R*, and for what? If you don't like it, either start your own game company and make a game yourself, shut up and be more patient, or just get the f*ck out, i understand that your mad that we barley have any info, and you have the right to complain, but stop f*cking complaining about it in every thread and stop harassing R*, its not gonna make them work any faster.

But they could have atleast one department with enough resources to produce a GTA every 3 years. This should be the main focus. Seperate departments should handle new titles, and the delays shouldn't have an impact on the main game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gtaman_92 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 As much as max payne 3 looks interesting i think the game will fail to even make it pass 2 million copies. I wish R* will realize nobody gives a f*ck about max payne 3. Its sad but its the truth. Gta and even red dead is R* top money maker. I find it hard to understand why will they ignore 2 great franchise for a franchise that the majority of people dont like, is like chosing to make cabbage instead of cake. Im not bashing R* like some people have done. I just find it stupid that their ignoring their money generators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeebuuus Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Some people are not grateful for anything. R* puts alot of time, effort, and resources into creating their games that we enjoy and that isn't good enough for some. They want instant gratification and if their "needs" arn't met then they complain to anyone they think will listen. I think they are sitting on something special and don't want to reveal too much too soon. Some can live with that who are mature and others can't who are slaves to their id.

Now THAT would blow "why did i move here again" out of the water. You lose. Firstly, Tommy would never let himself get arrested. He's Tommy motherf*cking Vercetti. Secondly, Toreno would never do such a thing, if anything he'd do the opposite. Toreno is only interested in siding with people he can control, and you can't control Tommy Vercetti. Thirdly, I doubt CJ would be willing to work with "that snake without a tongue". Fourthly, the only incentive CJ had for working with Toreno was getting Sweet out of jail. Fifthly, no one cares about Joey Leone. He was a mechanic who would probably be uninterested in running his father's empire. If anything, he would have handed it over to someone more capable like Toni (or Luigi, after Toni gets a heart attack after eating too much of his Momma's cooking). Sixthly, you spelt Toreno wrong. And you call yourself a GTA fan... Well done, Zee. You just killed the franchise. Coming next: Rockstar Game Presents Water Polo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
