No single player DLC for V.

[Lester-The-Molester]

I hate everyone's thought process at the moment.

 

Yes, R* have been focusing on Online DLC. Does this spell the end of the R* we once knew?

NO.

 

It's been two years, a relatively short time. R* is focusing on a cheap and money making venture. It isn't difficult to see the positives and negatives.

 

Maybe the DLC was canned because it was too expensive? And don't give me any 'but it made so much money' bullsh*t. Do you think that the majority of that cash is going to game budgets? That's not how companies work. They source it to investors, wages, taxes and all this other corporate stuff or they save it for when this does the rounds again. They're not going to give that high of a budget to a DLC, but don't worry, they will with VI.

 

Rockstar isn't AIDs, or turning into Ubisoft/EA/Both on good days, or just a bad company know.

It's just focusing on cost effective ways to make cash now. At least we're getting free content now, stop being ungrateful.

Maybe ungrateful isn't the right way to phrase it, but it's probably the case. You guys keep bitching about expensive and unreliable sources of income. The IV DLCs weren't that successful, remember? So R* probably doesn't want a recap of this, which is why they're turning out Online packs.

 

Hell, even if there is a SP DLC, you guys will still moan about it.

f*cking stop.

GTA V—and likely the entire series—has obviously been murdered by GTA Online. The popularity of the multiplayer platform has made Rockstar realize how lucrative cashing in on disgruntled, ever-grinding and penniless players via piss-poor, unrewarding missions as a cause and tempting micro-transactions as an effect could be.

 

Yes, what I'm saying is that you, GTA community, have killed GTA V. You are the reason there will be no story DLC, because you have succumbed to Rockstar's temptation and contributed to the success of their new, greed-filled venture.

 

You, GTA community, have killed Grand Theft Auto.

Not really.

The GTA community didn't kill GTA

Rockstar killed GTA

The casuals, annoying kids and a part of the retarded CoD community were never really a part of the GTA community to begin with but with the casual game we call GTA V coming along GTA V quickly became infested with those disgusting parasites.

If Rockstar actually made a game that is challenging with good gameplay and an amazing story like previous GTA's then GTA would still be very much alive and the community would still be good.

 

GTA V was supposed to be an Organic living Soup Opera and thats what it turned out to be, also GTA is one of the games with the best gameplay, and mission variety ever created...

 

GTA V is not even living at all, all that the NPCs do is either attack you, walk around or insult and attack each other.

Not very alive if you ask me.

GTA used to be the series with amazing gameplay and good mission variety, in GTA V not so much.

This might be relevant to the discussion as it highlights how the executives at Rockstar are sensitive toward criticism even to silly things as trees!

 

This quote is taken from the book Jacked: The Outlaw Story of Grand Theft Auto.

 

Yet the hype and the marketing also jacked up the pressure around the office. Random outbursts became commonplace. One day, Foreman read on some online gamer discussion board how they said the trees in GTA III looked terrible. He saw Sam's face redden in anger and went over to console him. “Look at these people,” Foreman said, “if they're sitting around looking at the trees, think about how much they're actually missing. It's just not relevant. It's easy to take something in isolation and get beaten up about it. But the reality is that GTA is not about the trees. It's everything in there. Not one thing in there is that great. You have to take it as a whole.”

 

 

With all the criticism toward V, and especially Online, are those people at Rockstar, including Sam, still care about these discussions on internet boards?

Ok, sure. Rockstar have changed their ways.

But, not everyone hates it.

Sure I would like a Story DLC, but i'm one of those rare people that actually likes the game and GTA Online.

Dude nevermind you are not "one of those rare people" the majority of players enjoyed GTA V and GTA Online aswell(Source: Like/Dislike ratio on Rockstar videos, Amazon critics,Metacritic user scores)

Its just a vocal minority here.

 

No many people didn't like it. (see youtube comments, reddit, gat forums and many other sites) Most people that liked it much are newcomers. There have never been as much newcomers as in GTA as in GTAV.

My god, the things people delusionally convince themsemselves of.

Dude, the truth is right in front of you, also next time try not to use the word "fanboy" it simply devalues your argument, in GTA V many many peds interact do various things, police chases, strangers, the world of V is objectively way more alive than IVs world, and NPCs in V do way more things.

It did go that far, you can read Steve Hammonds article, BBC even wanted to make a movie about the book, but R* sued BBC for doing so.

It's not like Jacked is the only source that documents the tense atmosphere at Rockstar and Housers' insecurity when it comes to criticism. Rockstar is far from being a developer's heaven.

 

Whatever, I doubt they are up in arms about a bunch of IV fans on GTAForums. I'm not living in denial and ignoring the fact that we are minority. V has been a colossal mainstream success and Online was a key part of it and I don't have to be Nostradamus to predict that next GTA won't deviate from V's formula too much.

Would you care to provide a link to this article?

 

Until you provide that, I would like to make a note that Steve Hammond worked for DMA design before it was bought by Rockstar Games in 1999. He left the studio in 1997, so he didn't work on Grand Theft Auto beyond the first top-down view installment. This doesn't make him a verified witness of what happened during the development of Grand Theft Auto III.

Well Jacked is certainly not a relyable source but more of a work of fiction, however indeed yes Sam is not one of those "nice" guys, and working at R* is f*cking hard with unpaid after hours, working at weekends etc. during crunch(and crunch can take up to a year sometimes).

It is even rumoured Managers would advertise the game or pay for Reviews behind the back of Sam so he did no get upset about them.

[BlackSnow176]

Rockstar isn't AIDs, or turning into Ubisoft/EA/Both on good days, or just a bad company now.

 

EA used to be quite good once, and they still occasionally release something awesome (Mirror's Edge was a masterpiece). Don't think Ubisot is a bad company. They have brought us so many great games over the years, and still do. I haven't played AC past the second one, and am a little confused if the annual AC games suck, but titles like Watch_Dogs, Prince of Persia, Tomb Raider and Spilnter Cell among others, were all masterpieces

 

If anything, Activision are the worst, greediest company of all time, that should check the meaning of the worlds "innovation" and "modest" before they've spewed yet another garbage.

 

Activision is like the Apple of video games.

-AI = 0

-Stand just with them: call the cops/fight

-Smoke and phone, thats all

-Same walkstyle for 3/4 of all the NPC

 

Even MAFIA III look better for the NPC and all that stuff (still to me, this game look like a big sh*t)

Seriously. ..who wants a single player dlc? Gta online is fun. Single player story is done. Franklin is rich. Mike/Trevor too or dead.

[Gnocchi Flip Flops]

I'm not a big gamer so I barely care what people are on about when they bash Ubisoft or EA. To me they just make games and if they're appealing, I'll buy them. If not then guess what? I won't buy them. Rockstar, however, it's difficult in my case. III was my first GTA and I was too young to even know or care about who Rockstar was. All I know is that the game never really got old and neither did any of the III-era games. I played IV a month after launch and enjoyed it from then on. Again at the time I didn't know or care about the developers. All I knew is that they were the same developers who made Midnight Club. 2012, when boarding the hype train, was when I learned about Rockstar and started exploring their games from a different perspective. I was amazed and they gained my respect. I definitely grew an admiration for them and everything they did from their crazy attention to detail to their dry potty humor. However things just started to feel kind of different a few weeks after the launch of V and it really was the first GTA I got tired of playing only a few months after playing. I don't know, something just didn't spark between me and the game. There was a lot more to do than on paper than there was in IV but in the end I found myself doing the same stuff and eventually grew tired, even annoyed, by the game. Their focus on Online didn't bug me one bit and I loved the DLCs they gave us with the new cars. Online itself, I wasn't too into it, I missed the simplicity of IV, but the missions were fun with friends who I later found out to be a bit boring.

 

My taste for the company started souring - it was already kind of souring because of the pre-order exclusives, driving physics (which I've now gotten used to) and the lack of restaurants and just all of those old and small little details they no longer seemed to care about, however I wasn't that mad about it - after the Business Update. Yup. You guessed it. The Turismo, Alpha, and Jester returned. But not as what people bitched and moaned for. Pretty much they were some new and tacky looking cars with beloved old names slapped on them. At that point I was like "Are these bitches serious? They really don't care do they?" Needless to say, that update didn't reel me back in. I started playing V only around the DLCs and updates and it took a while to reel me back in. The High Life Update kind of wowed me with the Massacro and Huntley S but it wasn't enough. The Hipster Update was a surprise, at least for me, but eventually that got old. I didn't pick the game back up until August 2014 and as weird as it sounded, it was because of the Coquette. I hadn't really driven it but it felt like one of the few cars in the game that were fun to drive. It allowed me to get a better feel for the map and appreciate it more.

 

However, late 2014 was when I began to notice how SP was getting dry and how nothing was being done about it. All of those DLC claims never meant anything to me. But when current-gen platforms got their version of V, I was pretty much thrown off. They got their prettier graphics and smoother frames and stuff and I thought that was fair. But they also got the Dukes, the Blista, more stuff added to the story, and a few other exclusives that left me feeling like "What the f*ck, these could've been added on last-gen!" It hit me then that they didn't care about that. They wanted people to buy V again and this was their strategy to reel them in. Kind of left a bad taste in my mouth but I got over it. Then the Heists come out and several vehicles were added as well as features. None of which made it into SP. Luckily I had Save Editor and the guy updated his program the day of release which was awesome... but I still couldn't get chrome rims. Why chrome rims weren't an SP option was beyond me. Why the vehicles couldn't simply be carried over the SP was also weird. It didn't take a while to realize that SP was pretty much put on the back burner and that their focus was Online. I kind of got bored.

 

Ill-Gotten Gains was a surprise. It hit me how much work they threw into their new vehicles and I was so glad they were in SP. But other than the bare minimum, SP got nothing. Oh well, IGG held me over for the summer but I anticipated an SP DLC to be announced in the fall. Well here comes Thursday, last week. A new update entirely based around Online comes and I'm like "another cookie cutter update" but get massively bored when I find out that there are no new vehicles. What threw me off was how it wasn't coming to last-gen. Meh, no new vehicles? Who cares? Maybe next time. Nope. There wasn't going to be a "next time" they said that last-gen wasn't going to get anymore updates and the IGN article further confirmed this showing that after IGG their main focus was current-gen. Automatic disrespect. They couldn't just tell us right then and their that IGG was our last DLC? Instead of letting us build up inevitable excitement for the next update like everyone else who isn't a pretentious little asshole. That was a turnoff, but nothing compared to what they said about SP. Right now V was kind of getting boring and I was taking a break and had been for six weeks. I had hopes for SP DLC. A lot of people in the previous thread did. They knew this. But their response to the mentioning of it was basically "What? Hahaha- no, f*ck SP. We're focusing on Online." Pretty much why I'm saying this company is kind of nothing but another company to me now. They're no different. Their main focus is making money, not being as innovative, original, and caring as they were in the past. The way I saw V a few weeks after launch should've been a fair warning but I still had hope. But now? Not really. They're going where the money is which is Online and current-gen. Now on that last part, clearly the older consoles are on their last legs but if they continue to give us guns and vehicles from the next few updates then I won't mind. If not, then it just shows enforces my point.

 

I don't hate Rockstar, they're not Cockstar or Dumbasstar or any of that. But they're not the same magical company that reeled me in a few years back. They're just another developer in my book. Nothing special...

Yes, R* have been focusing on Online DLC. Does this spell the end of the R* we once knew?

NO.

 

It's been two years, a relatively short time. R* is focusing on a cheap and money making venture. It isn't difficult to see the positives and negatives.

 

Maybe the DLC was canned because it was too expensive? And don't give me any 'but it made so much money' bullsh*t. Do you think that the majority of that cash is going to game budgets? That's not how companies work. They source it to investors, wages, taxes and all this other corporate stuff or they save it for when this does the rounds again. They're not going to give that high of a budget to a DLC, but don't worry, they will with VI.

 

Rockstar isn't AIDs, or turning into Ubisoft/EA/Both on good days, or just a bad company now.

It's just focusing on cost effective ways to make cash now. At least we're getting free content now, stop being ungrateful.

Maybe ungrateful isn't the right way to phrase it, but it's probably the case. You guys keep bitching about expensive and unreliable sources of income. The IV DLCs weren't that successful, remember? So R* probably doesn't want a redo of this, which is why they're turning out Online packs.

 

Hell, even if there is a SP DLC, you guys will still moan about it.

f*cking stop.

Umm, ok. Interesting points you make.

 

But, as a consumer we have the right to complain or question every angle of a product. This is why 'sometimes' Companies / Corporations loose touch with the customers to a point where at some point most haves moved on & so the company sells out for the Presidents in the pockets.

People believed what Fonteno said on the interview?

 

Why, in the name of the holy f*ck, would he lie about a DLC?

Honestly, if you don't care about the game. Then don't play it.

Honestly, if you're going to spout the same overused crap over and over. Then don't post. Nobody in this threads hates the game. Many of the whiners actually like it they just want it to get better.

For f*ck's sake, it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. You guys are hard headed. How many times must I repeat myself?

Spot on Scaglietti. If we didn't care about GTA, we wouldn't be here criticising it. We are obviously big fans of the series based on what it achieved before V. I don't get why guys like him find this so hard to understand.

Seriously. ..who wants a single player dlc? Gta online is fun. Single player story is done. Franklin is rich. Mike/Trevor too or dead.

We can at least have a prequel story DLC. Edited September 13, 2015 by Xing of Virtue

Sorry, Rockstar's Policy doesn't allow that.
