rockstars silence

[DjMiikkii]

No I'm happily living my life day by day, awaiting the release of GTA V. I don't really want ANY more information.

[Mat8ix]

yep perfectly happy here.. If you're personally affected by Rockstar not giving you the info you want, maybe you need to check your priorities, ya know? why is it okay for gamers to act like spoiled children all the time.

spoiled children? rockstar have acted like the spoiled child not the fans, you only have to look at AC3 newsfeed no demanding like rockstar posts ubisoft have gave plenty of info,trailers,game play, everyone is just patiently waiting with a smile anyone who says there not let down when a unrelated GTAV post pops up is chatting sh*te in my view

you don't get it. Your point is exactly what I'm talking about with 'spoiled children'.

 

Here is some news for you. Rockstar doesn't make games for you so called hardcore gaming types (more like whining pussies, if you ask me) who get mad when their wants are not catered to at every turn, and that's PRECISELY why they've gotten so succesful and PRECISELY why I (and many, many others) will always like GTA (or anything r* produces) over any other game. Hate to break your bubble, but that is the audience rockstar EXPRESSLY aims for, not the WoW/LoTR/Sci-Fi geek-crowd, with their games, their advertising, everything. So really, they don't give a sh*t about some whiny geeks not buying a game cause they have an overblown sense of entitlement when it comes to their games.

Im sure they do care about that whiny geek crowd, especially after that last ''incident'' where Diablo 3 did more then 3 times the numbers of Max Payne 3 ( PC EXCLUSIVE vs multiplatfrom anybody?) And im sorry to burst your bubble but last time i checked these ''geeks/whiners/kiddies'' pumped more money into this industry then ANYBODY else so its only natural that a big company (that always look for opportunities to expand) like R'' will always keep an eye on us.

[Acehilm]

Yeah, very affected. The effects that have been following after this silence has been terrible.

 

I've been sh*ting purple bananas. Don't worry though, I've checked in for a doctors appointment.

[JaggySnake]

No I'm happily living my life day by day, awaiting the release of GTA V. I don't really want ANY more information.

All I really want is the release date. Won't say no to a new trailer/more screens but if I were to choose one thing it'd be the release date.

[MARKUS.]

It ruined my marriage...

 

 

Tha f*ck man? It doesn't affected me on nothing!

[Kifflom112]

me personally im a bit annoyed at rockstars silence over this game as much as i do want it to be a surprise and not no every bit of information i would like to hear a bit more. has the silence affected your view of future games or current games like max payne i personally did not buy max payne basically because of the ignorance shown by rockstar over GTAV, could rockstars ignorance caused max payne to not sell as well?

 

what are your views?

I agree. I tried to express that, but someone went ape sh*t when I said it, name shall not be revealed.

[dansgas1000]

Remmeber when we thought the next trailer would be released in January?

[The Wereodile]

I cry myself to sleep at night and save my tears in a jar to throw at R*. Serves them right for not giving away much info on a game that I'll be playing (at most) 8 months from now.

You are a brave person.

 

I like what you said because it is true. People need to grow up and take their minds off GTA GTA GTA GTA GTA GTA for a little while

No I'm not.. i'm just not normally a hardcore gamer and I don't hang with a lot of gamer friends and I am really, honestly, staggered by some of the attitudes some of these kids have... it's something you can only develop by not going out, not socializing and just staying in your proverbial mom's basement and play games with strangers over the internet. I know it's a cliche gamer insult, but it's true, in the real world you would get smacked for acting like that. Seriously.. I think in the near future those people are gonna cause problems for society when they bring that attitude to other things.

 

I always say there's fans and then there's fanboys. Fanboys are the male equivalent of 12 yr old girls with a Bieber obsession. Difference is.. most girls get over that when they turn 14, real fanboyism starts at 14 and can last decades. You know what's really sad? Guys my age that still act like that, and somehow that's cool today, they're adults but still obsessed with reading Harry Potter books and watching Transformers movies.. they haven't replaced any of their childhood fancies with more adult interests that are, granted, harder to get into but ultimately much more satisfying. It also makes your gaming more enjoyable because you no longer get pissed off when they change the protagonists haircut or fingerless gloves don't make it in the game and enjoy the game for what is there..

I don't mean to start something, but can I just say, you have a very twisted view on gamers. I game a lot, but I also go to the gym, work late and go for a drink with my friends and I'm one the people a bit pissed of at R*.

There's no doubt that V will be a awesome game but with them releasing the first trailer to get people to look at max Payne was a sly. I would rather they just not announce it until the marketing begins.

 

I also have a friend who doesn't game much, mainly because GTA is the only game that he wants to play, now because of how the marketing has gone he thinks R* are getting way to big for there boots.

[i am a girl on the internet]

Of course it has affected me; I'm on here speculating about possible features that might be implemented in the game, simply because R*'s silence has left me with very little "concrete" information. Anyone who comes here to discuss personal ideas/features that may or may not be used in GTA:V is being affected by R*'s silence.

 

Bottom line: If you're here speculating about GTA:V, R*'s silence has affected you. Anyone who has done so, and claims that they haven't been affected by the information drought, is flat-out lying.

ive been playing gta since it came out yes im a old f*cker ive never seen "marketing" like this in my view its pretty disrespectfull to the fans as i mentioned i wouldn't like to no everything i want to be shocked and surprised but the information they have gave in the time period is a joke!

How have R* been acting like children? I'm not sure why anyone would let it affect them on a personal level unless they're physchotic in desperate need of help.

 

Here's an idea. Walk outside and get some fresh air instead of stressing about it. R* haven't done anything wrong as far as I'm concerned.

as i said the fans are not acting like children they have been made to act like it i enjoy a good social life thanks but the wait is nearly a year since any footage, the release date im not to bothered about the longer it takes the better it will be but the silence is just stupid

Nope. That's where Ubisoft is making the fatal flaw. They're releasing too much info. When you go to play AC3, you already know what to expect. With GTA V. No-one will know what the game will be like. This element of surprise makes GTA V appear more entising than AC3!

'Nuff Said!

Most definitely, the more I see of ACIII the less interested I get. Not because it looks crap but because it is taking away the surprise of discovering things for myself.

 

People say it's different with games, because they're an interactive medium & most of the enjoyment comes from playing the thing. Maybe that's true but all I know is, I got a lot more enjoyment from playing a new game back before the internet existed. When it's a game you know is going to be amazing 'like GTA V', how is showing you stuff from said game before release, going to increase your enjoyment of it?

 

 

[Phem]

Some more news on the subject of GTA V would be nice,

It does not have to be screen shots or a video,

 

maybe just a few words on the multi-player or some thing.

 

As for the comments about fanboy's sure they suck arse, but so do the people that are on the other end of the spectrum fanatical behaviour, Both sides are bad.

 

I really dislike terms "entitled" or "privileged".

People are entitled to a decent game that meets most if not all their expectation's.

Those same people put there idea's forward in a hope that they will be heard and improve upon the game

to make it even more enjoyable for every one.

 

It is not entitlement, it is not privilege, it is opinion and hope nothing more.

 

As for telling people to get lives or go out side, Teach your self to treat other's with respect even if they do not deserve it, It is because of attitudes like that that ruin our real societies, not the opinionated rantings of a man-child on the internet.

 

In closing, I just want to say I think guild wars 2 is the worst MMOrpg I have ever played.

And I hope I am entitled to a decent game this year or next when GTA V is released.

 

BTW GW2 is sh*t.

[Gtaman_92]

Im a little bit annoyed at R* threatment to the marketing of gta v and the over marketing of max payne 3 and thats one of the reasons im not looking into max payne 3 because i feel as though R* is shoving it into my face and i hate that because it shows me that they are desperate to make max payne 3 into the same level as gta.

Well I guess it's not as bad as some games that go YEARs with little to no info from their original announcement. The problem is most developers reveal too much about theit games these days IMO and it makes people demand more and more.

 

Then it's these people who have the nerve to whine when they finally get the game that they already know too much. R* being labelled "disrespectful" is an elementary level of critque or simply it's childish.

 

Other developers choose to saturate their fans and R* adopt a more discrete kind of approach. Whatever works I say.

[Durden]

No, I'm very happy.

Idk if this is sarcasm or not, but this is how I feel, actually. A small part of me wants a sh*tload of info about the game, while a bigger part of me doesn't want to hear anything else until I'm playing it.

 

I guess its similar to if you like a girl, and your friend offers to talk to her for you because you're too shy. You immediately don't want to, but deep inside you do want him to confront her for you because otherwise you'll live the rest of your life wondering what could've happened...

 

The feeling is pretty much the same with my desire of GTAV info. Although I do have phases where I get really upset about no info, but usually I keep my cool. Like right now, I'm distracted by Borderlands 2 and on their forum, so I don't feel impatient for GTAV. With this year's lineup of games, I should have GTAV in no time

[Australia]

No, I'm not a loser.

[Cyfa]

Na, I'm just a little bit irritated that we had to wait 8 months to get 2 screens.

[RED_]

Yes it has affected me; I come to this forum less.

[rampage08]

i'm happy, call me crazy but i actually like the silence, it means we will get plenty of surprises from R* when the game comes. Not many game developers does this today.

[lll-H-I-M-lll]

Im a little bit annoyed at R* threatment to the marketing of gta v and the over marketing of max payne 3 and thats one of the reasons im not looking into max payne 3 because i feel as though R* is shoving it into my face and i hate that because it shows me that they are desperate to make max payne 3 into the same level as gta.

bang on right with this comment

[AtomicPunk]

@Zmouse:

You never get too old for games or grow up and quit playing them. Once a gamer, always a gamer. I'm 40 and come here to check info or whatever like I have since day 1 and will probably continue to do so for the next GTA.

 

 

 

OT:

In all truth, the only thing that annoys me is that R* hasn't given out a release date after all this time. I could care less about screens and trailers if I knew when the hell it was coming out. I wanna discover all this stuff for myself, really. However, an interactive map, like R* did with San An, would be cool. Lets stop playing games, give us the release date. I know R* has an idea or date that they're shooting for.

Edited September 14, 2012 by AtomicPunk

[CookPassBabtridge]

The silence, coupled with the fact that my general gaming days have been and gone, means Im more willing to sit back and see what the reality of V will be. E.g. Is it IV.5 or less, or is it a groundbreaker etc.

Ill wait for a price drop if it turns out this weird 8 month drought was some display of complacency.

 

As for the forum, it brought things like the Genesis thread, the 2012/13 debate, and other sh*t less fun than actually discussing real info.

[Smith John]

@Miamivicecity

 

Simply getting another trailer and release date is not what I'd constitute being "saturated" with info. Look at the marketing of San Andreas. We got tons of info, screens and 3 trailers. Did that spoil the game for you? It sure as sh*t didn't for me.

 

I'm pretty pissed with the silence tbh. Up untill around May/June I was fine with it, and would be on R*'s defence, but this really is taking the piss. I can't believe how many people started sucking their cocks just because they released a few screens. Releasing a few screens was the very LEAST they could do. Call me "whiney" and "spoiled" and "blah blah blah". It's nothing new nor original.

 

I just wish R* would get the f*ck off their high horse and start treating the fans who gave them their success with the respect they deserve.
