How come Rockstar is way ahead of any AAA game-making company?

[LordWallDeMart]

They make one game every 5-7 years, but when they make it, dear lord, it becomes a benchmark for other games.

They know,

• the elements on making a good game (engaging gameplay, best plot, fluid game mechanics, alive environment etc.)
  
• the implementation to make a game as realistic as possible.
  
• how to cover a target audience
  
• how to consistently be really good

I cant stop wondering.

Yes way ahead

As in following Activision’s dumbass decade long mistake of not using dedicated servers, but when they finally return to using dedis they can still be exploited

But other than that, I guess they’re good

I think we should wait until GTA:VI being released before praising Rockstar again.
They lost a lot of respect with me for not releasing singleplayer add-ons for GTA:V and RDR2 whilst simultaneously screwing the modding community multiple times and making their respective Online modes cheater-infested IP-leaking grindfests.
Their history with (self-)censorship isn't speaking for them either.

Now that the original creative leads have left, I don't think there's much good but luke-warm raked up garbage coming from that company.

Also who the actual ♥♥♥♥ buys Shark Cards?!

I have a friend who loves to make fun of peoples that buy shark cards when you have random cheaters buying really cheap mod menus just cheating infinite money when they need it.

The fact alone that GTA:V made the term "mod" synonymous with "cheat" and "hack" is an unforgivable sin.

I agree of this reasoning i was immensely confused as to why this denomination was this way.

Rockstar can take their forced extra account and launcher and rammit.

Anticonsumer ♥♥♥♥♥.

none of that is true for GTAV.. Engaging? it's really not.. it's a fun game, but it doesn't hold you, and they left single player to rot when the Zentorno turned up. it's never had any updates since. You don't even get to roll a lowrider as franklin, or have any of the new radio's (even though the events of Online take place -before- the main game.. or used to, i haven't even got the game installed anymore)
And, where's the option to modify my Albany Emperor? it's LD's own car, and you don't even get to put hydraulics or a big speaker system in it.....


10/10 would get killed in passive mode by dumbass in tank running you over every time you respawn.
How about the "get blown up in your safehouse while your still in the loading screen" thing?

Fluid mechanics.. sure there is

Good joke...
Realistic? Crop duster vs 4 engined military jet? Military units can't hit a crop duster? what are they trained with, lego?

ZR lähetti viestin:

• how to cover a target audience

Which is what? 12 year olds when the game is rated 18+? or just cheaters, because that's all the playerbase is....

ZR lähetti viestin:

They haven't made a game in 7 years, what they have made is just cheaters cheating, and all they do is slap the same old "Updates" in the games "oh look, another race track for online where people just cheat to the end. what fun that'll be... /s"

Really good? even EA and Ubisoft do better than this hot garbage...



Yes, and before anyone says it, my profile pic is highly ironic...

[Fire Angel]

Because my amazing uncle works for them.

[Tiberius]

They dont knw how to make interesting combat, but they're really good at making an immersive world. I'd argue rdr2 still has the best open world design til this day.

They're also one of very very very few devs that knw how to make npc dialogue feels natural

I never understood shark cards when you could just glitch the cayo heist in like 8 minutes per run. I played for a weekend and bought everything.

I find GTA 4 pretty boring, but maybe someday I will try GTA 5, and I'm still thinking about maybe even finally buying Red Dead Redemption 2

4 is gorgeous, but I can't stand Nico's accent. I really hate it. Same reason I can't play the Metro games for longer than 15 minutes. That accent is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

GTA4 gets pretty good about the time you finish the Brucie missions. My big issue with that game is that the driving is trying to reach for realism, which makes all vehicles drive like bricks.

GTA5 is a very different animal. I enjoyed it all the way through. And RDR 1+2 are so very good.

I do wish they would do more stuff with their games like Undead Nightmare. The best dlc/stand alone game mode ever.

Kulturbanause, the driving and ragdoll physics as well as the damage models were part of the fun, and were quite a feat at the time!
Driving in GTA:V is just boring.

Rockstar shill spotted.
