I'm enjoying the remaster, but that's because the foundation was built so well with the originals. Glad some people get to experience the trilogy like they originally were, but yeah not much effort put into it.
Maybe everyone's reading the situation with the definitive editions as a sign of things to come? They're clearly not the same company they were even 10 years ago. It's all about the money for R* now, and it seems they'll put out any old shyte to make a quick buck now.
I remember not constantly feeling I had to bash Rockstar on most of the information that comes back at them on a regular basis.
Re-re-reselling GTA5. Half assed remasters that make the game worse in just as many ways as it does better, sold at a premium. Providing no extra single player content to GTA, most likely due to printing money on whales via shark cards. Can't seem to go one year without their mandatory servers going to s**t.
I'm not giving them kudos for being so successful that they almost can't fail. If I can name several things that make them a worse company than they ever have been, and the best thing to combat that is they're successful, it still just means they sucks. It also means the general population also sucks.
True, but it has already been more than 8 years and if the rumours of them recently restarting development on GTA6 are true, it will launch more than 10 years after GTA5.
Look, your whining about this... but we are in the golden times of James Bond Films. The films have not always been as good as they are now. GTA has never had a terrible game, as a matter of fact, GTA5 is still untouched in terms of quality. When there is no competition, it doesn't get better.
I find it astonishing that you got as many disagrees, but thats par for the course for this website. You are indeed correct that GTA has never had a bad game. In fact, it can be argued that Rockstar has never produced a bad game, and sitting right at the top is GTAV. How this can be argued with is beyond me. There is a reason why it has stayed the course of the better part of a decade. When Rockstar know they can top it, they'll release the next one. I'd rather they did that than become the next Ubishite.

You're seriously moaning about the very first game that came out in 1997 and were limited by hardware? I distinctly remember those games being fucking ace BTW. Then again, you were probably in Pampers. Body Harvest is the true precursor to GTA, and that game was brilliant, yet flawed.
Exactly. I'll admit that I enjoyed Driver and Driver 2 vs GTA and GTA2. That was because of the perspective, but these franchises went in two entirely different paths
Well yes, as long as they keep milking GTA Online forever and keep up the same empty release schedule in the times ahead...I'm sure they kan keep dragging on.
Meh. The stories were never good. Unlikable characters, 5th grade racist humor and excessive swearing. Other open world games have surpassed it in every way especially in gameplay. I'd much rather play a new Watch Dogs than a new GTA. The AI world they created in that game is so much more advanced and the gameplay offers so many more choices and freedoms to approach missions.
Definitely not. The gameplay in GTA absolutely sucks. There is no freedom to the mission structure and the open world while pretty is lifeless and boring. The thousands of NPCs in Watch Dogs Legion have names, occupations, lives, schedules, perks, quirks, friends, family and enemies. It's generations above GTA in simulating a world. The gameplay also offers stealth hacking, assault, melee and more as options in combat and mission structure. There is so much more fun to be had. The writing is also genuinely funny unlike the sad 5th grade humor of GTA.
Eventually gamers need to stop giving Rockstar immunity and call them out for what they are. With the release of the remaster Rockstar like CDPR can no longer hold onto the "All about the quality" label. They are not about the quality but anti comsumer behavior.
CDPR may have lied but they are not anti consumer. They do not threaten legal action against modders nor do they remove older editions from stores in order to sell newer remastered versions.
This isnt the humble Rockstar from the early 2000s that was still hungry and all about the grind. Then they released a VARIETY of games/series. Today they are just GTA/RDR.
GTA 6 would have been a new Bond film, GTA 5 is the over milked James Bond film, And the Trilogy from what I am reading is the screwed up James Bond films.
Not with half assed remasters it won't
Do James Bond take over 10 years between releases?
If it was like Bond we'd have got to Diamonds are Forever and not bothered making any more.
Does he mean gtav can last that long cause he is pretty much right.
Make a new game already.
Yea but here’s the difference, they don’t freaking release the same fu**ing bond movie every time! They actually make sequels.
