samfit Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Grand Theft Auto 5 is now the best-selling game of all time in the UK. Rockstar's open world was already close to the previous record holder, 2010's Call of Duty: Black Ops, which it finally overtook this week thanks to the arrival of its PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. GTA5 already held the record for the highest-grossing UK game in a week (£94m upon its original launch last year) and of all time. Unsurprisingly, it's also the UK's new all-format chart number one. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-11-24-grand-theft-auto-5-now-uks-best-selling-game-ever Well deserved. xTrendSs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the fact that they have made enough money and new fans to ensure development of at least one more game in the series? So they might get a chance to address some of your worries. So, in the long run, this is beneficial to ALL of us, whether we like the game or not. These threads are not just excuses for people to vent their spleens. We should be congratulating this company that has provided us all with endless hours of entertainment over 15+ years. Is there literally nothing in V that you like? If not, why are you here?

I didn't say that there's NOTHING i like about GTAV! If thats were the case i definitely wouldn't be here! Thats just the fact i don't find it necessary to create useless topics screaming everywhere in a joy how much i like "this and that", i find it much more necessary to express disappoints other than admit there's stuff you like...what is the point of telling how you like something, its like - "oh...ok so i like that...whatever"...that is how i see things and that is why you don't see me praising the game, like every easily impressionable and delighted fool does!...That is my way, so yeah! I like to complain, a lot actually! And there is nothing you can do about it... tom_p1980 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing but disappointment and constant let down, negatives outweighing positives 2:1... And your post history suggests you are incapable of being positive about this game. Be happy!

Zondar Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I'm surprised that it's not already the best selling game in the UK. well deserved though, if you count SP and GTAO as one game, no other game has given me so many hours of fun.

I'm guessing, but I reckon it's going to be comparable everywhere. It's a huge success, whether people like it or not. I can only see this success as positive for us all as it means they'll be making games for the foreseeable future. We may even get Agent one day!

I was asking myself the same question. This is great news for Rockstar, but how do huge sales records in anyway make V much better game than it should have been in the first place ? I can't see what good differences will be made as a result of this news. Maybe Rockstar can use the money made to hire much better staff to make the next GTA title.

They should definitely get you on board for feature design, so you can just point at III era games and squash any kind of innovation in a single hand gesture. Jphunter0 1 Signatures are dumb anyway.

tom_p1980 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 GTA has a massive fanbase who have a ton of disposable income so this is not that surprising really. Also huge sales don't equate to a great game, the game itself is average at best. So whilst it's good for R* that people are still buying this game, I sincerely hope they make a better effort with the next instalment than they did with "V".

I feel the same way. @ Fuzz Well if they offered to take my ideas on board, I can guarantee you now, the next GTA will be much better, Not just old ideas from the III-era, but new and innovative ones too.
