Introducing the Rockstar Games Launcher, a new way to play all the latest Rockstar Games titles on PC.
Throws in all the DLC for free. It's a steal.
Would love a remaster of MP3. The load times were so long, it became a chore to play...
I’d love a remaster of the whole series but I really do miss Max Payne 3 multiplayer. That shit really slapped
I agree! After the story, the speedruns and trails were fun. Again, brought down by the loading.
Runs in 4K 60fps on PC with quick load times. Not sure how much more of a remaster they could do here.
At this point, might as well just do a remake.
They can fix that by just adding the game to the Xbox back compat, 4K enhanced list.
Max Payne 3, the good stuff. Played it on PC. Shooting and attention to detail was astounding.
Still looks pretty good to this day.
Would really love a sequel with better story-pacing and bit less psychedelic brooding.
Always felt it should have had a branching story depending on which cases were solved.
I figured it was supposed to be disappointing, like how no matter how much good you do, some bad people are just going to get away with it. And that despite Cole being a good cop, he still had issues kinda shows that not everything has happy ending. Not saying it was good, but kinda fitting.
I felt that too but had hoped the endings would be different depending on performance or even key decisions.
Two endings that are considered "bad" would have worked for me.
Man, it is as if they ran out of budget during development or something when they came up with that ending. A really disappointing ending to an otherwise great game.
Wouldn't surprise me considering Rockstar was pumping out phenomenal games at that time but the budget for LA Noire was astronomical.
Played through both games recently and they both hold up better than most games released to date. Have not aged badly at all.
Meanwhile, Atlus is preparing to make content of a game older than these 2 into DLC on the upcoming remaster for SMT Nocturne

I sure as hell don't, i went too hard on "simulation" aspect. Killed a lot of the fun IMO.
Shitty fast travel system, barely able to swim 10ft, having to re-equip your long guns everytime you get off your horse, the long LOOOOOOOONG rides between objectives, etc, i don't get how that's fun. Some of the simulation aspects are fun/cool, but some are literally nothing more than cumbersome.
I know this is unpopular opinion, but I thought RDR2 was mostly boring. I loved the first one. I hope GTA6 is just plain old fun.
What you're stating as a unpopular opinion is actually a very popular opinion. Although It's not my opinion as I loved rdr2 and thought it successfully did something different than other games in aspects of immersion when it comes to; simulation, animations, npcs and world building. But I fully get that the game was way to slow for many.
Totally agree, I wanted to like it so much, but it just wasn't "fun" to play at all. If GTA6 is like that I'll not be a happy chappy.
100% in agreement with you.
They can keep their slow motion realism/simulation and moody story for red dead. Gta is meant to be super fun and fast.
It’s such an enormous earner for them I can’t image they’ll look to alter the formula too much
Having a San Fierro and Las Venturas dlc would have been awesome. An almost 8 year old game getting new campaign dlc though? Doubt it
that's terrible imo we can get mp dlc all day everyday but not any sp dlc even though they continue to make money and would still make money with sp dlc.
I can't find the article but I remember the company saying if we continue to support them in future products more sp dlc will be made and here we are.
He’s right. GTA4 had a lot of things that GTA5 didn’t have. Tons of YouTube videos showcasing how GTA4 was more advanced in a lot of ways. Hopefully 6 just has a good story, fully featured and is lots of fun
Story is subjective I thought it was better than v however. But cars no chance the handling in 4 felt way more realistic car suspension shifted the weight of the car on each turn plus it takes ok skill to master high speed evasions.
V felt like an arcade driving game which required no skill imo it was a huge step back.
Prof and this this the issue. GTA is never about realism. Yes GTA4 went down a more serious toned route but GTA has generally always been outrageous over the top fun. Real life can be dull enough, I don't want games to be to by focusing to heavily on realism. GTAVs car handling was perfect for the game it is.
I enjoyed the wackiness of GTA3, San Andreas and Vice City so much, wish they would go back to that direction. I don’t need a super realistic city/crime simulator
You don't think that GTA5 was wacky as well? None of those games have a protagonist anywhere near as crazy as Trevor.

GTA5 was a great game, but a DRASTICALLY different feel from the games I listed. It was far more grounded in reality just with a crazy story line.
GTA3/VC/SA weren't about realistic animations or being bound by "somewhat real-world" physics. They were decidedly more cartoony with everything. I just preferred them for gameplay, but GTA5 of course had the better overall package when you talk about story and character development.
Yeah I felt after those 3, 3 and vice being my favs* that 4 went too grounded simulatory? And just a bit bland niko was great character story was cool soundtrack was pretty decent not a patch on the 3 before tho I struggle to think of a tune off top of my head not one I’m desperate to go back to but I did 100% and some 😂😂 felt the handling was too stiff just lost a lot of the fun for me. Don’t get me wrong don’t wanna be surfing cars smashing people Up with giant dildo’s (thanks saints row 😏😂) saints row was alright mainly while I waited for GTA4 but protect the pimp was cool the whole game was a poor mans GTA tho even animations were cut and paste for some parts. However GTA5 just needs to be bigger? Better and just keep doing what they do. They are obviously taking their time with it I just hope it’s not rushed and is half a good as the last one.
*san Andreas was good great even but didn’t like the sim go to gym aspects stats etc learned to love them tho it makes sense type of game it is but wasn’t a fan and yeah soundtrack was brilliant I love hip hop but just preferred first 2 felt they had better settings soundtracks and smaller tighter games compared to SA went a bit just cause massive open game bit empty In places 😂 unless you like collecting any old 💩 😜 waaay too many collectibles on SA.
Safe to say i cannot wait. Also the DLC for GTA4 was some of the best ever shame online was such a beast and GTA5 never got the same but sure GTA6 will make up for it hopefully by end of next year
Sorry last edit just thought this is the first new GTA For 3 generations this is gonna be incredible give them a few months to get best out of Ps5 tho ey 😜🙌🏻 28514; or the other one 🤷🏻♂️🥴 😂 12-18 months I cannot wait let’s have it 🤞🏻🤞 27995;
You do realize those games were cutting edge for their time, correct? What you're likely experiencing is the fascinating phenomenon wherein the games created to work within the limits of hardware of the time are regarded as being uniquely enjoyable in a way that only games from that time can be. Sure, modern games are enjoyable in their own right, but they of course have a different flavour to them.
It's no mystery why many indie studios have attempted to recreate games of the past. The 16-bit era has gotten a lot of love, so perhaps it's high time for some AA studios to try and bring back the charm of the 6th gen.
Note though that Rockstar has always been about pushing the boundaries of what can be done with a city/crime simulator, and I doubt that is going to change anytime soon. Also, have you played GTA Online? Clearly even modern GTA isn't all serious business. Heck, there are parts of GTA 5 you should revisit too if wackiness is your thing.
No. Let GTA remain GTA. That’s what made it so successful in the first place.
Agreed. If the author wants to play a RDR game...that's why that series exists. There's more to what makes each respective series tick than the setting. RDR is not an Old Western GTA, and GTA is not and shouldn't be RDR in a modern city.
Daily Video Game writes: "Amazon is offering up to 67% off on three of the best titles from Rockstar Games for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One for a limited time. If you still haven’t owned any of these games from the legendary Rockstar Games, it’s time for you to do now!"
GREAT, YET ANOTHER GAME LAUNCHER!!!! I guess this is why Red Dead 2 hasn’t come out yet on pc. They want you to download this crap first and Red Dead 2 will be exclusive to the Rockstar Games store. Looks like a big fat NO from me.
I hope every game gets its own launcher! My PC definitely needs more bloatware and proprietary software platforms/DRM that constantly need updating and serve as a vessel for pumping ads and gathering my personal data!
YES! More launchers!
Red Dead Redemption 2 PC announcement incoming! :)
