What has happened to Rockstar?

[mr.africa]

they have ONE game people care about,that's it.
might as well go ahead and release it as a yearly installment a la fifa

I'm still eating with my dead hooker car glitch dough.

And spent a lot on useless shyt when the free money glitch happened.

fukka paying for virtual money.

Exactly. That 8 million shark card costs $100. Rockstar has the payouts low for everything so you basically have to cheat the system or buy shark cards to buy anything.

people here fail to realize that Rockstar has been going through a huge change as a company since GTA V dropped...

1. Leslie Benzies got fired (responsible for making things work since the early GTA days. without him there would have been delays to RDR aswell as numerous other games due to shyt not working properly until he fixed it)

2. Numerous other devs (whose names I cant rememebr for some reason) were fired for being loyal to Leslie Benzies. including a number of Majorly important and influential senior staff from the 2D/3D era of GTA. (also documented in Benzies lawsuit papers)

3. Last year they had a large job posting with numerous positions open ranging from lead graphics developer all the way to management positions... even now, some key positions have yet to be filled. such as Enviromental Artists, Senior Graphics Programmer, Procedural Animation programmer, Pre Visualisation Artist, Mission Scripter, numerous Animation related positions including Animator itself.

at this point, I think Rockstar Leeds is the only stable studio in the whole of Rockstar. Leeds is a porting studio that did a number of mobile/PSP games including the GTA Stories series and GTA CTW. Rockstar San Diego has been in a downward spiral since its studio was in the news for having really shyt working conditions. I mean seriously, just read through the reviews... shyts garbage

I honestly have no faith in Rockstar anymore. not after the houser brothers literally cleaned house. All they have now is new untested talent, while key positions arent even being filled.

even they Costumer Service team is all fukked up

"Situation Dirty"

Liberty City was going to be added to GTA V. this is fact, a legitimate artist on Rockstar had some pictures of LC in GTA V's engine on his portfolio for some stupid reason. which im pretty sure got him fired...

heres an IGN report about it with some of the pictures still on there
http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/06/01/new-screenshot-seems-to-show-liberty-city-in-gta-5

this is a comparison done of one of the pictures in the portfolio and the same location in GTA IV

if I remember correctly, the original date of upload for the picture was dated at being around November 2015. which makes me think it got axed cus of the whole benzies situation

Gta V was underwhelming. The campaign was filled with terrible mission design.

Other studios not even half the size have released great games in 2-4 year cycles.

Speak for yourself...it was one of the best games in the history of gaming

GTA V was the least fun in the series. They are going in the wrong direction.

 

[ORDER_66]

The world felt so Hallow and empty to me, Also something else that pissed me off is you have tons of money in the solo/mp campaign and yet there's nothing to do with it. They should have added more recreational stuff to do, eating, gym, working out, Also you should have gotten an option to customize your house in single player, or have trevor buy new property too...

 

[TransJenner]

Before GTA V came out there was so much rumors going on


I don't think any of them came true

My only problem with GTA V was how lifeless the game felt

 

[Joe Sixpack]

A deeper hole?

Live in denial all you want. Gta V is not even a top 3 gta game. The campaign was awful. Filled with terrible characters and some of the worst missions I've ever experienced in an open world game.

The world wasn't even that interesting.

Game was just more of the same but not even as good.

Other studios seem to have no problem creating big open world games in less time.

You're a miserable person.. People like you will never be happy with games.. You nitpick and complain about every little thing..

Just give up playing video games and grow up. You will never be satisfied with what they do..

Move on with your life.

use ad hominems because you can't defend a sub par game.

Secondly you're a Goddamn level 4 on PSN I play more games in 1 month then you play in a year clown.

All you play is sports games and gta.

You're the definition of a casual gamer. Telling me to move on when you barely even play

You simply don't know any better because you're not a gamer and you're simply a sheep that plays whatever your friends tells you to play. You aren't capable of critical thought.
