The GTA V Story Mode DLC Speculation Thread

[XenoxX]

 

 

 

 

50 million people bought GTAV, and there's 8 million online players. Are 42 million players SP only? No, they just don't play it because it's a mediocre game and there's far better to play.

There aren't just 8 million Online players, there are 8 million Players a week Online, just a little correction.

 

And your conclusion is again a bit off, a LOT of people just completed the game enjoyed it for what it was and moved along, just because someone doesn't play a game even 2 years after release it doesn't mean its bad or "mediocore"(whatever that term means by definition).

People only bought the game because of the hype, but after they played it, they realized it was a stupid and mediocre game and moved on to far better games.

 

That point again, holds no factual bases its just a broken assumption without any proof to back it up.

Especialy since GTA V sold more than decent on Next Gen consoles, and it is STILL selling very well on Next Gen consoles.

I think its time for you to accept that GTA V is all over a very well perceived game.

 

That was a scam for the New Gens. a lot of people like myself and i have seen a lot post on here and other forums, bought GTA V for the new gen only because Rockstar said they were going to continue the story of the trio. And its still selling good on New Gens cause Rockstar gave up on the old gens. So all those people who most likely are GTAO fans but didnt want to give into the new system had to, because Rockstar stopped Supporting the old gens. It was a great Scam by Rockstar to double their profits. It was nothing less then pure greed by them.

 

Yeah abandoning a 10 year old console is definately not "greed" but common sense...

And they SLIGHTLY mentioned Story DLC and in NO WAY in the context of the Next Gen versions lol...

To quote this article:

 

"As we mentioned previously, we always knew there might be a point where we would reach the technical capacity of what the older generation of consoles can handle as each downloadable update requires additional memory both for assets and for additional scripting. We have continued to optimize the entire game over time in order to squeeze as much memory as we possibly could out of the last-generation hardware and at some point, continuing to add content for those systems could cause the risk of instability to the game overall."

 

So yeah, if you would have preferred to have stuck with an ancient, limited platform, be our guest. Those consoles could barely handle the game. Travel at top speed in a super and that soon becomes apparent when roads start disappearing due to extremely low texture streaming throughput.

I really wouldn't be surprised if the next GTA abandons single player and becomes online exclusive.

 

V's SP is rushed, and the online is broken, it's no wonder the DLC is free. Rockstar know that no one can be expected to pay for DLC to such a broken mode.

[Alec Skorpio]

 

It probably won't sell as much as V because so many people fell for the hype. I know I won't be jumping at GTA6, and i'm sure there's millions of others with the same opinion.

You seem pretty confident about that

 

I will actualy feel sorry for you when GTA 6s sales numbers will burst your bubble.

 

 

I remember when people said the same thing about GTA V because people "fell for the hype" of GTA IV.

I have a feeling that this was the case. Announce GTA V on LG only so people will buy it since it's LG only. Later, announce it for NG with new features for both new and old players. Then later, release PC version for PCMR-style people or people who want mods. Finally, catch the LG stragglers by cutting off support for LG forcing them to buy again. That's how I see it.

[eyman]

with every new GTA, its more bigger, improved and game changing than the last one. GTA 6 no doubt will be more bigger than GTA 5, and people will buy it in a heart beat just because of that. However whether they like it or not is all down to personal opinion.

At this point, I think it's safe to say your opinion can be immediately disregarded from now on. You are obviously incapable of forming an opinion that doesn't rely solely on personal justification.

I'd recommend to not take the bait and just to ignore him, best way of dealing with it, interacting with him will result in long lasting arguments which makes it worse.

I wish GTA V on PC took advantage of Nvidia PhysX.

You mean like Arma 3 took advantage of NVidia PhysX

(For refference: Arma 3 quite literally has little to no actual physics yet is advertised with NVidia PhysX).

 

PhysX has nothing to do with actual in-game Physics its just a framework.

Don't know about Arma, but Nvidia PhysX can be impressive in some games. In the Batman Arkham games, I saw a video of Batman fighting on a carpeted floor, and the carpet actually creases and curles with each step he takes. In Borderlands 2, water effects are rendered to look like actually 3D liquid rather than a flat 2D particle effect.

Yea but that is due to the immense work of the developers, it has realy almost nothing to do with PhysX from NVidia..

I understand that. but Rockstar knew damn f*cking well when they created and developed the game that the new systems were coming out, they couldve just delayed it one year and put it out on the new gens. but they wanted to maximize profits. by suckering all of us to buy it on Ps3/Xbox 360 then to re buy it on PS4/XB1/PC. Its not sticking with Ancient technology, its scamming their consumers. Edited February 2, 2016 by GTAKid667

I'm quite surprised that the majority of this forum seems to think SP DLC wouldn't be a hit. Not to say you guys are wrong by any means, I just honestly assumed that people would go nuts for any new content featuring the original V trio given the hype over the first few weeks of release.

 

I guess I just have a quite a cynical view on hype, and I can imagine 1 million kids buying the game and another million feeling left out and henceforth buying the game and so on and so on regardless of whether or not they had played or liked the original game.

 

I saw a similar thing happen with V, friends that I didn't even know were in to the series, or even games, were out the week or two after release buying multiple copies per household.

But you do realize that if R* would have neglected the last gen at THAT TIME ALLREADY millions of people would be outraged....I mean you can allready see how outraged people were when R* stopped stupport for last gen, if they wouldn't have released it at all on LG millions would have insulted R* etc.

And yea of course R* would have been missing out on sales, why? As a company would they disregard their main consumer base which at that time WAS ON LAST GEN...that makes logicly NO SENSE...

Yeah, LG not having the power for things like Lowriders isn't the issue. The issue is they stated it was LG only and then swept the carpet up from under us with "Surprise! It's for NG now." Heck, maybe LG could've handled DLC's like Lowriders if R* didn't fill LG with useless "car + clothes + gun combo" DLCs.

But people like you and Xenox see to be happy that Rockstar f*cked you in the ass. you guys laugh all the way home with rockstars dick in your ass. thats what i dont get.

 

I got f*cked in the ass? I don't even own a "next-gen" console. If you want to talk about getting f*cked in the ass, why don't you start asking Sony or MS why they released consoles that are already struggling to deliver?

 

Anyway, R* is a developer, publishers take care of financials. You can hate them all day. It doesn't change the fact that these matters are not dictated by them, their job is to give the publisher a product they can move - which they did. If you were as intelligent as you make out to be on these matters, you would have put 2+2 together and realised your claims that we'd all be f*cked by a new version.

 

And yes, it is sticking with ancient technology. Those damned consoles came out 10 years ago. Should they have released V on PS2 as well, just to make it fair? Because by your logic, hardware doesn't matter.

 

I played through it once on 360, re-bought it on PC and thoroughly enjoyed the improvements. I got my money's worth.

 

FYI - being able to form logical conclusions does not make one a recipient of ass f*cking.

I think it would be a huge success if they went back to LC and tied some of IV's people into the trios story, there were a lot of reasons why IV's DLC didn't sell very well too don't forget but it doesn't mean V's DLC would suffer the same fate.

It's exclusive to Nvidia GPU's though, sadly. But I'll digress before stacking an AMD Vs. Nvidia flamewar on what's already a cesspool here, lol.

Yeah, let's not do that here lol

 

But to agree with you, yeah, PhysX is part of the Gameworks libraries and isn't possible on other GPUs at the moment.

When I think GTA VI will sell well I really wonder if it's what I think or what I hope. GTA V received critical acclaim from every review I could find, and I never met anyone in person who didn't like the game. So, are the people who didn't like it the vocal majority or am I? I guess some complaints, like game length, are valid. But just like R* worked on IV's flaws to try and improve it (V's game length is because of trophy data that told R* not many people had cleared IV, NOT because they poured all their efforts into Online), I trust they'll work out what the majority thinks V's flaws are with VI. And c'mon, everybody here will buy GTA VI. Be honest.

 

Also, how is R* releasing V on LG consoles greedy? Releasing it on NG consoles only would have been terribly stupid. You have a huge userbase of LG consoles vs. a still fledging userbase of NG consoles, and you sell to the NG consoles? I mean, I guess selling the game for cash is also greedy when they could've put it out for free. It's not like the game was butchered for LG; it pushed the limits of LG to NOT get butchered.

It's more of how they did it. They outright stated it wouldn't come to NG. That means they made the conscious decision to say it would go to a console system they planned to discard after a while anyway. Besides, releasing it for NG would've been a good buy-booster for NG consoles similar how GTA IV was a buy-booster for LG consoles.

Do you have any links to articles where they say this? I'm not saying you're lying, I just keep seeing people say this with no actual proof.

 

(Edit: Never mind, found something.)

 

Anyway, do you find it impossible or improbable that the fans wanted a newer, cooler, flashier version to play on their new console? Or is that completely out of the question.

yeah, that's kinda what I always thought too. Like for a game that everyone here thinks is so sh*tty, it sure sold a lot of copies. I mean, for people to decide if a game is good or not they have to play/buy it right? GTA V and VI could be crap games based on any one person's opinion but I'm pretty sure no stand-alone GTA release will ever be a commercial 'failure' from now on

 

GTA VI will again smash sales records whether its a decent game or not because millions and millions will buy it on the first day or first week simply because it has the GTA name attached to it. And if it comes with a big online update, theres that fan base as well as the core SP fans.

 

Off topic example: The most recent Star Wars still would have been a box office success and a smash hit based on first week sales/pre-orders, whether or not fans and critics actually enjoyed it i.e You have to watch the film to form an opinion. The Phantom Menace obviously has been bashed to death, but it still was commercially successful and smashed records when it initially came out

[CaptainBicycle]

I don't think it would've been much of a buy-booster. When IV was released, the PS3 was two years old and the Xbox 360 three. In 2014, neither console amounted to even a year. It's now, 2016, when people are starting to change to the newer consoles. And I still don't know how saying it wouldn't come to NG consoles is greedy.

[eyman]

GTA Will always be a best selling series due to it attracting endless people with different styles or wants. You can almost do anything in GTA and that is what makes it record breaking when it comes down to consumers/sales. Whether you like FPS, Driving Games, Simulators, Free roam games or whatever your favorite game is other than GTA it probably can be done in GTA. Saying GTA 6 wont be as good in sales is very uncommon.

GTA attracts a lot of gamers no matter what.

They never said it wasn't coming to NG. I hate it when people jump to conclusions too easily and fail to comprehend relatively simple sentences. All they said back in 2013 was something along the lines of "we're currently focusing on the PS3/360 versions... the game already feels 'next gen' to us... " etc.

This is pretty much the same argument as the "we're focusing on Online at the moment"-does-not-equal-"we're not doing anything else ever".

 

You don't even have to read between the lines. Just read the goddamn lines, lol.

How come that funmw2/tezfunz' prediction regarding LC wasn't true after all? From my intel, he usually delivered good and true info.

My guess is, that R* will either announce a huge story mode DLC in the near to far future, which will make the fans happy, maybe even bring up the hype train again, or announce some completely new type of story mode DLC that nobody would've ever expected, which could eventually lead to even negative reactions...

 

I truly hope it's the first option, but you never know... R* changed a lot since GTA Online's launch...

DLC will be nice but the bad news is if there is DLC = GTA VI comes out in 2020 YEAR.

50 million people bought GTAV, and there's 8 million online players. Are 42 million players SP only? No, they just don't play it because it's a mediocre game and there's far better to play.

 

There aren't just 8 million Online players, there are 8 million Players a week Online, just a little correction.

 

And your conclusion is again a bit off, a LOT of people just completed the game enjoyed it for what it was and moved along, just because someone doesn't play a game even 2 years after release it doesn't mean its bad or "mediocore"(whatever that term means by definition).

People only bought the game because of the hype, but after they played it, they realized it was a stupid and mediocre game and moved on to far better games.

This, unfortunately, is the truth.

 

No, its just his opinion.... you have every right to agree or disagree but its not the "truth".

 

Nah, it's the truth.

I know I won't be jumping at GTA6, i've seen plenty of disappointment for V on the net elsewhere, and i'm sure there's millions of others with the same opinion.

Now I'm pretty much sure that you're a troll account. Some silly enough would say something like that.
