GTA V sales 'not impressive', but mobile companies like Supercell are 'outstandingly impressive', says 22Cans boss.
Grand Theft Auto V was released on PC on the 14th of April 2015. That means the game will be nine years old in four days, and it’s still among the most-played titles on Steam. With a 24-hour peak of 145K players, it’s as popular as Baldur’s Gate 3, Apex: Legends, and Destiny 2.
The freedom to explore large areas, approach objectives in multiple ways, and stumble across amusing distractions will always be an excellent format for video games, but some do it better than others. To celebrate the formula and parse the best from the best, have a look at the best open-world games of all time so far.
Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5 are both classics, but movement and general interaction sometimes feels like you're possessed by a fridge.
Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…
Oh and hundreds of millions of dollars in revanue to boot.
Lots of complaints about gta ever since the hd era started and yet it's bugger than its ever been with gta vi up to 180 million trailer views alone. The next game is shaping it be be another genre defining game
The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.
I did accidentally beat someone to death a couple times. An unfortunate mistake but besides that I didn't have any problems with the controlls
Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games
I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.
i didnt know steve jobs mother wasnt married to his father when steve was born
"(GTA V) will achieve around $1 billion in revenue on consoles in just one month. Sounds impressive, doesn’t it? No. That’s not impressive."
Molyneux is an idiot. Whenever he makes a public statement you think he couldn’t say something more stupid the next time and yet here we are.
So let me get this straight. He doesn't like a game that made nearly a billion dollars in ONE DAY because he rather make a game that "lasts 5 minutes" and potentially makes 3 million dollars in a day some time down the road?
In other words, he rather make money than games and thats why the game industry will fail if people follow him.
Edit and lets also not forget something behind the scenes. How many jobs did Rockstar provide while making GTA? How many jobs will his 5 minute adventure provide? Yeah.... GTA is all around the better option.
I'm confused... He's not impressed with GTA sales? He would rather make a 5 minute game that last in someones mind for a life time? I don't understand his logic
