Too much negativity on GTA V?

I just ignore all the little ungrateful kids.

 

I'm waay excited for this game and nothin anyone says will change that. GTA V is looking to be the best game that Rockstar ever releases. It will bring in millions and it will break records.

 

The preorder/launch DLC is nothing to get up in arms about. They are just incentives to get people to pre order. Theyve done it for other games so its nothing new. It doesn't actually take away from the game. Buying the standard edition is fine. It's just little bonuses for those who want a bit more than just the standard game. I wouldn't do it for many other companies but I'm seriously considering dropping £120 for the collector GTA V edition.

'Complaining' shows you like to express your opinion. Those who are too glued to Rockstar will tell any user who says something negative that they are 'complaining', but that's not what it is. I don't like how Rockstar is going down the EA path, but I'm expressing my opinion and that shows I can give some criticism. So if you think a user is complaining, they may simply be helping Rockstar or expressing to other users what they think of something. After all, a forum is dedicated to users sharing their opinions, right?

I dislike how everyone ks saying there taking the ea path when there not. You guys all now after 6 months of release all of the content will be available in one copy for a reduced fee at gamestop lol

Why should I pay extra for content that was cut? I will have the game for PC by then, and I don't want to put in more for cut content.

So youre really upset that they cut out 3 or 4 things of content out of 1000 thjngs to do in this game? The fact that I get to play as three different characters was enough for me, but their biggest map ever! come on bro, I know u not that mad at R*

No, I am not 'mad' at Rockstar, simply disappointed that they pulled this trick.

If they didn't over price their god damn CE so much, it would've been better, the only reason I want to get a CE is for the snapback, can anyone send it to me for the love of God? Along with the bag if NO ONE needs it?

Dont ask for hand outs on a forum, youre better than that guy biggrin.gif And I got one word for you, the word that will forver change your life! And that word isssssss......... EBAY

Riiight, because I will pay $50 shipment to my country or God knows how much. smile.gif And I wasn't asking, I was merely saying that if no one wants it, just send it in my way!

I get the dissapointment of not getting all content. It's a psychological trick. You're not getting a bad product by buying the normal version, but you have the feeling you miss something because of the extra's in the other editions. It's just a psychological marketing trick to get people to keep wanting more. You feel like you've missed something? The chance is bigger you buy the more expensive version or get the DLC later. But this isn't just Rockstar, it's all companies that do this, so it's pointless to whine about. It's nearly impossible to do something against, after all, we all buy the game anyway.

 

As for the map size and other complaints about the content: most of it is ill-informed or without any arguments. The map is bigger than ever, only the city problably isn't bigger than LC, which is fine. Rockstar has never disappointed with content in games (especially GTA), and they won't now. They make excelent design decisions. They might've been able to create a large city, but that wouldn't be fun, then the streets would just be endless houses with nothing to do and a long drive to every activity.

This is the same company that ALWAYS provide quality for their games and ensure you get a full experience (particularly with GTA games).

 

 

Idk about IV.

 

No one's doubting GTAV as a whole. The crisis just seems to be the mass lowering of standards as many people were expecting more square mileage in the early days of the V hype. If anything, 90% of all criticism of V seems to be limited to the map issues.

Oh please, stop complaining about GTA IV! I get so sick and tired of you folks. GTA IV is one of the best games Rockstar has ever created and one of the best games this gen, most critics and fans can agree on this. I'm so sick and tired of how some of you forum dwellers act like you're the majority while you in fact are a tiny minority who hates everything thats popular and you don't seem to be able to come with any reasonable arguments at all againts GTA IV.

 

Sure, IV is not a perfect game, no game is, it has its small flaws, just like any other game out there, but to say it's a bad game? I just don't get it.

 

So I agree with OP, Rockstar ALWAYS provide quality for their games. Hell, if theres any games that has quality, it's GTA IV, it might not have as much quantity as SA, but it sure has more quality and detail.

It's funny how people act like GTA IV doesn't exist. I loved that game, but there are a lot of GTA fans who didn't. I trust R*, but people have every right to be concerned about a developer that can quickly switch things up like R* does.

 

R* makes great games, but they also tend to piss off certain fans. Just look at MP3. I enjoyed it, but I had a bunch of problems with certain things R* chose to do with that game. Some people hated it. R* is a top developer, but far from perfect IMO.

I don't think it is that bad here. I like this community because it is not full of weirdos and crazy people (at least not all of us) and there are a lot of other communities and forums on the internet that are way worse. And the people who are whining are just concerned because it is their favorite franchise and hope it can live up to the potential and the hype.

not if they include microtransactions and constant stream of DLCs. rarely any game now has a GOTY edition and if it does its usually 2 years after release. also aren't you underaged?

After all we should remember that its just a video game. Possibly a damn good one. Sure I wait to play the game but its not the worlds end if it doesnt meet all the expectations. And im not really shocked about those pre order news. If people want to pay extra 60 for flying a blimp so be it.

What do people have to be "grateful" about? R* make a great game and in return they earn my money and my trust. That's it. It's not like R* are giving the game away for free now is it? I never understood this kind of mentality.

 

GTA V looks like it will be the best GTA game this generation to me. I doubt it'll surpass Vice City as my personal favorite GTA game and the best R* game to me save for Vice City is Manhunt. Still this is all opinion. Something everyone has.

 

It might not be a big deal to you about having in-game content been made as incentives to pre-order and/or buy these editions they have out rather than be in the game from the start but to others It is and I completely understand those who feel they are been mugged off.

There is ways around it though. Buy the complete edition down the road. Personally I'll be going with the normal edition and buying these in-game items once they are on PSN for everyone so I'm not that bothered about it.

 

Constructive criticism is healthy for any Business. This doesn't mean people hate R*, are not fans of the game, whine or all that sh*t. It simply means everyone has a opinion.

Do you really think Rockstar delayed the game by 4 months, added all that extra material because of forums like these?

Once V is a few months old most of the idiots and trolls will disappear trust me. Same thing happened with IV, forum filled up with trolls and idiots making stupid threads and complaining about idiotic stuff, then it calms down and your left with relatively sane people.

 

That is, until the next GTA.

No but I do think R* have improved over the years due to it's fans response good and bad.

I think they decide things on their own. They hear rumors about what fans want but in the end that is not the deciding factor.

Haha. The GTA IV forum was a warzone when it was released. Many trolls met their maker over the course of 2008. wink.gif

If customers(fans) don't like something it doesn't make great business sense to add said thing. If customers like something then that will be added. As I said constructive criticism helps business improve. If everyone went around kissing a business ass then a business can never improve as they wouldn't know what they are doing wrong.

I agree with that, I just think Rockstar figures things out for themselves eventually.

There is not much you can do about. Especially now that GTAV is on the horizon, you will meet a bunch of members that will complain about the most trivial things; and there is a lot of trolling and spamming going on too. It wasn't much different in the pre-release time of GTA IV. You will have to deal with it, however, I'm sure that everything will be back to normal some time after the release of GTAV. The whole cycle will repeat itself when the next GTA game is 'around the corner'.

I am way too pumped about this game to care if a bunch of guys cry about R* taking content out of the game, which I do not know if that has been confirmed.

Please dont take much of what is said on this forum, specially now, massive influx of kids who just love to complain for the sake of complaining. Let Rockstar do their thing.

 

Miss the older days here. Even people that have been here longer than me will agree
