Gta iv was doing the same shyt and hyped the same way. Years later people don't look back fondly on the game and got more honest about its shortcomings.


Me personally I never liked gta iv and since gta 3 came out, iv is the only one i never beat. Vice and liberty city stories included. I may be in the minority but gtav is my favorite besides san andreas I've beat 5 about 3 times now.

But they aren't funding new games and that's the problem.

How is at their most successful they're releasing no games.

They should be at least 2 games deep into this gen.


Instead all they've done is remaster gta v for more money.

How do you know this is true?:dwillhuh: Do you have insider knowledge about Take Two? :jbhmm:
Did you factor in that they now have to develop for the Scorpio and Pro alongside base consoles?

They could have several games planned, just one or none at all, no one knows. You have a odd sense of entitlement because they haven't dropped a game in a generation that's still young. Rockstar is known to have multiple studios working on one project while working on their other titles in secrecy.

Their output is at an all time low while their income is at an all time high.


So rockstar is the only studio that has to do that? Other studios do the same shyt and actually release games.

But hey keep defending a studio that clearly doesn't give a fukk anymore.

Why do you keep speaking as if you have to insider knowledge?:mindblown: Like you check into their office daily when they clock in. They've been putting out steady content for GTAV because it's their current cash cow. Would you leave free money on the ground after dropping the one of the biggest games?

The industry has changed, it's why we have remasters,season pass and yearly sequels. No one wants to spend money on new IPs that will tank. Name three AAA third party developers that can drop quality games like Rockstar in this era? They don't have the comfort of a first party studio if their game flops. They have to take their time to make games like this because their a big studio with a large amount of overhead to cover.

Real ytalk, anyone that says San Andreas was the best GTA, I assume is a white person or a cornball

It takes insider knowledge to see they suddenly stopped releasing games :mindblown:

They haven't announced a game in 5 years,they used to release 5 games in 5 years. :mindblown:

Studios a 1/4 the size are releasing games just as good of quality.

Name 3 studios? Do you even play games other Than gta or something?:wtf:


These guys are literally swimming in money and you're talking about them like their some small indie studio

So yall would rather them pump out 2 to 3 mediocre games a year instead of taking their time with 1. This aint ubisoft


Mediocre games on this list were few and far between...had no problem then, what's the problem now?

The output is low because they don't have the amount of studios they had before. They downsized and they don't publish games for others developers like LA Noire and Max Payne anymore. They make their own in house game engine which requires money. They can't afford to make more games because they have to keep people employed and investors happy which means bringing money in.

Midnight Club isn't doing One Direction numbers. Look at Need for Speed series, no one is checking for racing games like that anymore. Max Payne 3 didn't even sell units how they wanted to.
