I still love their games and what they do, however, i think they're moving in the wrong direction.

i agree with stee_vo. I love the company and the GTA games but i am worried that they are targeting the game too much towards the general population. Sure it sells, but Rockstars "innovation and experimentation" has left me nostalgic for games like GTASA and GTAVC

Yes. Rockstar seems to be going down the road every other developer does after a time.

Since R* made so much money, they can care less what happens to V now.

These fake updates are a sign of that. These updates do absolutely nothing they say they do.

 

I also should bring up how R* is introducing micro transitions but I wont bother.

Yep. They're more talented (SP wise) than I though they were. Multiplayer wise?...yeeeahhhhh nooooooooooo.

Tbh I'm never buying a GTA or r* game on launch again. I'll hold back to see if it works before parting with cash

I saw them as Gods and now I see them as even bigger Gods. Rockstar is amazing. They just topped all their classics with whats being considered by EXPERTS (not forum trolls) as the BEST GAME OF ALL TIME. $1 BILLION sales. Greatest game of all time, without question.

You're not even funny anymore tbh. Do you even do anything else apart from being on these forums pretending to suck rockstars dick every thread?

No, why would we? It's their job to make the game and it's our job to give them feedback.

Jimmy Darmody

Before:
jimi-hendrix-200349-small.jpg

Was like Jimmy hendrix. Considered innovative and a legend in what he does, but died too young, hated by conservative people with different tastes, just like GTA IV concept died too young and hated by people who didn't like it's "too serious style".

Now:

Clapton1MOS_468x590.jpg

Like Eric Clapton. Still considered amazingly good, but not as good as Jimmy Hendrix. Does music for the masses and it's quite good at what he does, but the magic is not there as it used to be.

It's not whining, it's just us telling them what we think is wrong/bad.

 

Stop kissing their ass and realize that this isn't a perfect game.

 

Good? Yes.

As good as you people say it is? No.

It is a perfect game. 10/10 across the board, 1 billion in sales. DEAL WITH IT.

My view on them is largely unchanged. They are a company. They are out to make money. They make games. They are some of the best world builders in games and Los Santos and the surrounding area far exceeded my expectations. They are some of the best storytellers in gaming, GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, and GTA V are definitely ranked up there in my favorite game stories of all time. They are not perfect, never have been, and never will be, so the game having flaws did not surprise me.

 

Overall: They are Rockstar and they're doing what they want to do.

Just cause they sell a lot doesn't make it a good game. Call of Duty isn't close to being a good game yet they sell a lot. The reason both GTA and COD sell a lot is cause they target the casual crowd.

This

 

Gta v is still an amazing game ofcourse but I dont like how they are complicating everything especially online!

 

I miss san andreas and after playing gta v for 2 weeks ive restarted gta san andreas. Gta san andreas can never be topped with the map, story, charecters, music EVERYTHING

 

Gta v has lost some of that gta feel, it doesnt have any feel tbh.

 

Red Dead only came out 3 years ago but that has an amazing feel to it and is now nostalgic like gta sa and gta vc.

 

Gta iv even has bigger gta feel to it (but gta v is better)

 

Gta v however has great charecters and amazing storyline.

 

 

I also had more fun in red dead multiplayer then gta v online which leaves me more excited for a new red dead instead of a new gta :(

 

Rockstar north need to take a step back

Holy sh*t... you suck Rockstar's dicks so much, that even Rockstar are tired of it. Just hop off their dick

I love R* and their games, but you're just too much. Jesus...

 

 

OT: My image hasnt changed. Why would it? GTA V was what i expected it to be and im enjoying it so far and im surely gonna enjoy it even more when the GTA Online servers are stable.

And to the guy above me... how can you ''rate'' GTA V's online mode when it has only worked for about 2 days?

Dude, that is just your opinion. But this game is far from best game ever. Its not terrible, and it is certainly better than GTA IV, but its is not the best game ever.

There were set to get 1B because of their reputation of making good games. The fact that they made 1B doesn't mean that they made a god game at all or that their marketing was perfect. With GTA being a best seller with almost every release and the rapidly growing console fanbase it was made impossible for them to not break records.

 

On Topic: My view of R* is that the areas like R* San Diego and most other non-European divisions are doing exceedingly well, but I also feel that Euro divisions like R* North can do much better. When they make a GTA game they are trying to replicate and mock something that you can't understand with a few visits and a few hundred of thousands of pictures. One thing I feel they did bad with was how red-neck sandy shores was. Do they not realize that California isn't a southern state that race bashes people all the time? The people were incredibly over aggressive in the game and for the most part they just stitched a few good games together to make one better one. the 3-character story lacked originality and the endings were predictable.

VC is still the greatest game of all time.

I still consider them the greatest, most talented, most creative, and most innovative developers in gaming.

 

 

That said, there are certain trends that have popped up dating back to GTA IV that have resurfaced with GTA V.

 

The first is obfuscating what is actually in the games (i.e. implying that things that aren't in the final version of the game will be in the final version of the game, without explicitly stating that such a thing will actually be in the game) and overhyping the games. GTA games certainly deserve a lot of hype, but these subtle implications and the excessive hyping of an already mega-hyped product is the reason so many people end up disappointed, as they were subtly led to believe that something that is not in the game will be in the game. I suffered from this a little bit after GTA IV came out, but expected certain aspects of the game I expected to be in there to be left out this time, and therefore did not deal with disappointment. R* sets themselves up for this.

 

 

The second is their poor organizational skills. Always with the delays (the upside to this, of course, is that R* goes the extra mile in terms of releasing a finished product with as few bugs as fiscally possible [GTA Online being the lone exception], unlike the guys who make the Skyrim and Fallout series. We all know that this is not the only reason for delays, however). Case in point is the information drought that occurred after the game was announced. That is some barely competent sh*t right there. Additionally, lower level R* employees have been known to complain about significant mismanagement and poor working conditions.

 

 

Still my favorite games studio, but let's not pretend they are free of significant issues and do not participate in somewhat unethical behavior from time to time.

Yes, my initial image of Rockstar has changed, a lot. I see all Rockstar Studios to be a team of experienced developers who pour nothing but hard work and dedication into all their games, each game becomes more ambitious, which is what I expect to see from a games developer. And with GTA V and GTA Online, they've done that, and more.
