Grand Theft Auto V Could Topple Call of Duty: Black Ops Record

Grand Theft Auto V has the potential to be the biggest launch of the generation, GfK Chart-Track says.

i hope so, it's a sad state of the gaming generation with have when such a stale, un-imaginative game breaks records and the true masterpiece games don't.

TheGrimOfDeath3932d ago

Don't be too sad, at least some great games were achievements such as The Last Of Us.

Definitely buying GTAV on launch day.

In my opinion, sales don't really matter. it doesn't change the game or the consumer. as long as I like the game, I'm not going to worry about how many people have similar tastes. gtav will not be a disappointment no matter if the figures surpass or not. I don't like comparing games on whats better. you cant really give a grade on a vision a group of people have as if there's a template.I'm planning on getting gtav though.However I'm not concerned with thinking a game is going to be better than another by sales.

It actually does matter on how many sales go to which game. For example; Cod gets massive amounts of sales, copies and pastes the same game every year BECAUSE they keep selling, with little to no motivation to change their formula.

On the other hand, games like The Last of Us need (and deserve) as much recognition as possible to continue doing what they love (which is bringing in innovative minds/ideas to make gaming better, and to SET THE BAR higher so that in the future gamers like us will be able to play amazing things. This is our investment into the future of gaming. I know you feel like a single opinion or boycotted sale won't matter, but it does.

Soupaman663931d ago

I'm not saying its something that should be disregarded all the time, but its not something we as consumer should focus on. There are already people with jobs for that. There is managing money, marketing, etc. Its not our responsibility or place to get all worked up over how many sales are made. Look at what happens before, cod fans would give the excuse "our game is better because it sells more". a good game doesn't mean it has to sell well. Sure it deserves it, but this is life. Things happen. Having us complaining and talking about sales is imitation and thinking its doing anything is insanity. Honestly the only thing we as consumers make a difference is with our wallet and our voice, but we need to redirect our voice to the companies instead of ourselves.

Cost of realistic looking movement.

Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…

Profchaos35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

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

MetalGearsofWar35d ago

They already learned they dont have to actually make a great game

sagapo35d ago

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.

Zhipp34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

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

jznrpg35d ago

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

Profchaos35d ago

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.
