Did Rockstar Hold GTAO Back For The Sake Of GTAV Reviews?

Exactly why did the multiplayer segment come out two weeks after the single-player adventure? Lack of time? Or was it a calculated move on Rockstar's part?

Possible. I doubt they did though. Reviewers were going to give the game high scores regardless of the online. For a game like GTA being such a highly anticipated game they would have excused the online saying the game is still great even without it.

I agree. The online (despite its sloppy start) is a massive bonus to a solid single player game. Most games these days with such a large online component usually have a 4hr campaign.

WeAreLegion3847d ago

I say yes. Then again, based on the current state of things, they didn't hold it back far enough.

Soldierone3847d ago

It's an obvious yes. There wasn't enough time between release, and then online to say they did anything worthwhile to it. If they released online a few months down the road or maybe even next year, then I'd say otherwise.

There are plenty of games that get amazing reviews then get knocked down because of online features, even though the online was clearly just tacked on.

No I think it was held back because of server load. Just too many people online at once and they had to iron out all the bugs.

More interested in money than giving fans what they want. Such a shame

With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.

I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.

Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder

Ikr mfs that greedy it's ridiculous

andy852d ago

This makes me sad. Trevor was one of my favourite characters in gaming

Demetrius2d ago

One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
