Anyone with even a cursory understanding of gaming will tell you that prices only ever seem to increase. The release of a new console generation has only hiked the price up even further; the cost of the new hardware and all the fancy next generation games making the barrier to enjoyment even less surmountable. Unless you’re a PC gamer of course, in which case the prevalence of digital distribution across a variety of sales platforms mean that savings are regular and significant. However PC gaming comes with an even higher cost for initial hardware, which makes it even less appealing. But it’s expensive for the publishers and developers too, as the so called AAA video game market insists on graphical quality and set piece bombast, development budgets skyrocket and marketing budgets quickly follow."
A Former Rockstar dev has revealed that they were making a GTA 5 DLC, but it was scrapped since GTA Online was such a "cash cow," though it wasn't a total waste as parts of it made its way to GTA Online.
What a damn shame. Sinfmgle player dlc could've been so dope but nope fk you single player guys.
Perfect reason why I'm against single player games having multiplayer attached. Eat up more resources
Honestly sucks they couldnt do something for SP dlc. It wouldnt hurt their bottom line at all to do.
GTA 5's story mode deserves more attention.
Sure the story mode which got a 97 metacritic isn't as bad as people think. Stupid ass article.
Who actually thought it was bad? Personally, I think they should have finished the Story DLC to at least gauge sales and if it was worth it vs GTO.
I think I did not see even one thought out piece by this site named tech4gamers yet. Nope..no approvals for this nonsense from me.
Just some people who didn't like that the story was split between 3 protagonists and kinda had weird pacing because of it.
I didnt like how the heists consisted of 3 preparation/fetch quests which were dull as. Also there should’ve been more heists and more assassination missions.
It was pretty good apart from that.
But yeah some folks didnt like the character switch on release.
The only bad about it is that there isn't any more! Cancelled story dlc to make online stuff... But hopefully gta 6 will be a great adventure again.
A major story DLC for GTA V was canceled as a result of its online component, GTA Online, becoming a "cash cow", based on the latest report.
GTA 4 had stellar extra content. Kind of annoys me they really only pay mind to online elements with their games anymore. They have the money and manpower to offer both to players.
It still gets me pissed off to see the lost in gta5 because they are just a punching bag that tlad dlc was awesome.
We could have had Trevor be replaced with someone that over time with your help made the lost a huge gang in gta 5. but na we just get Trevor that had 0 character growth and the worst mission's in the game.
Yeah, they didn't make enough money to make a story DLC...CEO's had to get those bonuses...
Destiny is a huge bet for Bungie, I agree. And it's not guaranteed that they win.
Really want to see what happenes with Activision and Destiny.
