terrible decision on Rockstar's part. How many games live long beyond their times due to a thriving mod community? It's a way to keep people coming back to your game.

BiggerBoss3703d ago (Edited 3703d ago )

After 10's of millions of copies sold, and with people buying 3 copies of it, I doubt R* really cares about longevity at this point:p

I can understand not allowing Mods in GTA online, but they should at least leave them alone in SP. A huge open world like GTAs can inspire a lot of creativity. Just look at what people have accomplished with just skyrim and gta 4

Utalkin2me3703d ago

I'm sorry if you bought 3 copies of GTA5 then you're......errrr wait i have some beach front property to sell you in Kentucky.

bmf73643703d ago

Just Cause mods are fun too

Khajiit863703d ago

@utalkin

I bought 3 copies, sold the first 2 for $45 each and now im keeping the best version.

CyrusLemont3703d ago

The EULA is horsesh*t. It should NOT dictate or control what somebody does with their own purchased copy of a videogame in the privacy of their home.

That's disgusting and oppressive to our rights to imagination and creativity as a human being.

subtenko3702d ago

I laugh at the stuck up PC Master Race people :P If they had mods on PC I would have gotten it, I thought something like this would happen :/ wtf is going on with mainstream PC scene?

- PS4 & PC Master Race league.

Honestly, screw Rockstar.

So let me get this straight. After nearly 2 years of waiting for the PC version to hit. It finally comes out, with everyone excited to buy the game and start putting awesome mods on it like EVERY PC game on the planet. Rockstar knows this, they anticipate millions of sales for this reason. And after they get their millions of sales, they decide to make it illegal to mod the game because of whatever? What a bunch of assholes.

I don't even care for the game, I don't plan on getting it on PC or modding it. But millions who already bought the game to enjoy it, and play it years from now with mods DO CARE. And now Rockstar does this.

Their games have been getting worse ever since last generation. From this point on I no longer support them, i'm sick of them. Not buying a single thing with their name on it.

Anthotis3703d ago

This killed my interest in the PC version, too.

Much of the fun and replay value in PC games are because of mods.

Terrible, idiotic decision.

ginsunuva3703d ago

Not even that. Thousands of people, including me, bought the PC version in anticipation of mods.

Otherwise I would have just not bought it.

Khajiit863703d ago

It was definitely one of the main reasons for me, probably mods at the top followed by 1080p+/60fps

Raider693703d ago (Edited 3703d ago )

Give it another year and R* will most likely will not care for the mods,but right now they are trying to make the most they can,money related from the game,it was expected.Too bad for the people that jump straight or double dip this game expecting mod free from the start. In one year it will be cheaper to pick the game also.

whereswaldo9993703d ago

Totally agree with that after the main story is finished and over 190 hours in online the only thing left for the people who double dipped or even *gasp* tripple dipped is mods.

Poroz3703d ago

Rockstar is no different then any other company. They only care about there product and there profits. They asked for our opinions for Gta 5, Just to use it against us. They knew what we all wanted from the beginning. I am not surprised they turned on there fans.

They lied. I feel fooled to wait 2 years for this shit. No mods wtf ?

DharmaDan1083703d ago

Did you really buy this game just to use mods? Why don't you just play the game it was meant to be played.

SilverClock3703d ago

I take it you've never used mods before.

ginsunuva3703d ago

What if he already played it last-gen, and wanted the PC version for mods?

Saryk3703d ago

@ DharmaDan108 You must be playing a game to see how many disagrees you going to get.

King-u-mad3703d ago

"Why don't you just play the game it was meant to be played."

I lol'd.

because this

"Did you really buy this game just to use mods?"

is a hilariously stupid question.

Grant it there are some that did, but most people who buy games on pc want it for the optimization in accordance to their build and obviously for the option to mod it.

The better question is...

Why wouldn't you want the option to experience cool user generated content in a game you enjoy playing?

Because last time i checked its the users that actually play the game... not the developers.

Dasteru3703d ago (Edited 3703d ago )

Are you really naive enough to believe there is any such thing as "was meant to be played"?

Rockstar can only do so much with the time and money they have available for development. Adding more content to the game through mods is perfectly legit. A game is meant to be played however the player wants to play it and if i'm paying $60+ for a game, i damn well will play it how I want to. NOT how Rockstar wants me to. They can ban me from multiplayer if they want but an EULA cannot legally apply to the offline portion of the game. They ban you from single player for any reason, you can sue the ever living hell out of them for bait and switch fraud. I use Peerblock anyway so they can't even tell that i'm using mods in single player unless i let them.

Yeah, I'm shocked for previous GTA games had mod support. I hope is not done to prevent the console version of GTA V to look bad.

DxTrixterz3703d ago (Edited 3703d ago )

Well they didn't have mod support directly from Rockstar but they didn't mind them and certainly they weren't banning anyone. It seems is all about their loan shark cards microtransactions. If people can hack money in GTA Online their loan shark cards sales would go down to hell and they would lose load of $$$. Still I do not see how mods affect them and anyone else when you used them in singleplayer. Only Rockstar and God knows.

KryptoniteTail3703d ago

I will never get companies. Power trip?

Servbot413703d ago

And then they wonder why people pirate and avoid all this EULA and update nonsense.

hellothere19773703d ago

And then pirates wonder why they get thrown in jail or heavily fined for stealing other people's property.

PurpHerbison3703d ago (Edited 3703d ago )

After they made millions upon millions and still fail to deliver... I don't mind at all.

steve30x3703d ago (Edited 3703d ago )

I bought GTA V on PC and if they actually ban me for using mods in single player then I will download a crack for the game so that I can play the game I actually paid them for. I am all for banning people for using mods in multiplayer but I don't like the fact that they won't allow mods in single player mode. Don't get me wrong I bought the game on PC for keyboard and mouse gaming not for mods but using mods is a big bonus.

@hellothere1977:

Even though technically it is not theft.

Theft = Taking something without permission of the owner, to which the owner then no longer has access to.

Piracy is just your system reading content stored on a server and then creating its own copy of the content. No removal of anything occurs. The only way they even know piracy has occured is by spying on the activity of IPs connected to P2P clients, leeching part of the file back from your IP, then comparing the hash value of the data to whatever content they think you are copying. Without that, they would never even know anything has been pirated.

kung-fu-grip3703d ago (Edited 3703d ago )

@ Cuzzo63
And ^^THIS^^is a prime example of what the #pcmasterrace calls a "peasant". He's even bringing up 4K loooooool!!!!

Anyway, Rockstar apparently has a few peasants in their studio as well, if this news is true. If so; FYI, this isn't going to the modding community.

Can you guys just.... you know block online traffic when you're using a mod. Some of you people are becoming a bunch of babies. You guys have a simple problem with a simple solution.

Eiffel3703d ago (Edited 3703d ago )

Grand Theft Auto V > Properties > Set launch options > -scOfflineOnly

And if I want to play online I just drag the files into another folder for later and remove the launch option command.

Been working well thus far.

rainslacker3703d ago

Might consider writing a batch file to do it automatically for you. Then just use two separate shortcuts to start which one you want.

Cuzzo633703d ago

@Tonykid
Hit the nail right on the head. I know the majority of the pc crowd is not like this. But I guess it's safe to say we got spoiled brats on all side of the spectrum

generationjeu3703d ago

R*: we love making fun of videogames, but we hate you having fun with our own.

Mr_Writer853703d ago

GTA5 is fun tho?

If you can't enjoy a game without mods then I pitty you.

Mr-Zex3703d ago

I believe you're confusing mods with hacks, sir.

kinda feels like it just makes the image have less contrast, removing shadows somewhat.
Even if it's "more realistic" I think the standard looks better. Not in every situation but the standard likely runs better so I'll side with that more than likely.

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese39d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde39d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast39d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake38d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow138d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown46d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8546d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown46d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8546d ago (Edited 46d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole45d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name46d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast46d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj46d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!
