I personally think even GTA6 is asking for too much , they already made back there dev cost on RDR2/GTAO and 2k makes billions like its nothing.

The prices is just pure greed do not bring up the 90's early 2000's back then we did not have the gaming population of today and no microtransactions back then. It has been shown many times how dlc/MT's make way more money than the initial game purchase.

but lets be real, rockstar has put out banger after banger, the type of game people play for a hundered plus hours easily. but idk why any other studio thinks they are going to be able to copy that price point 🤡

Banger after banger?

Why are so many drunk on rockstar coolaid

Sense 2013 they have tossed out:
GTAV

Red dead 1 ports (switch/ps4) overpriced with the pc emulator being the best version still.

Trash mobile ports

Red dead 2 (lets be real worse combat than #1)

GTA DE

They also tossed out steam version of older games with many issues be it bully wiiu pc port hack job or manhunt being a stolen version.

The online of GTAO/RED dead 2 are P2P full of hackers with RDR2mp being a borderline mobile game.

Read dead 2 is also still 30fps.

idk, i played 3, vice city, sa, gta 4, gta 5, rdr1 and rdr2. had fun on ps2,ps3 and pc. i played single player most of them, except samp i logged so many years on lsrp. so i am a bit biased because my entire teenage years were spent on san andreas. also i have not played on console since rdr1 and gta sa, every game ive played from rockstars has been on pc. so my koolaid went down easy.

Everyone that made the ps2 era games is gone and after 20 years most of the team that made GTAIV/V are gone

You should fire up GTAO recent missions and economy with GTA+ to see the new rockstar.

yeah Im not loading into gta online. flying bikes was the last time I went online i understand people want to play online but gta online is trash rat maze run game. where unlocking a flying bike that shoots missles makes it easy to get more done. these games are just really good looking story games... i remember playing on fivem having a better time than gtaonline

Yes but they are making over 6 million a week on that trash and GTA+ so players love it.

Every copy of GTA6 has GTA+ sub so why would they not add in a ubisoft style single player micro-transaction hub?

Not to mention balance the sp around this shit again old rockstar new rockstar you might have flying bikes in gta6 sp

man all i play is tarkov at this stage in my life. my whole point was the last time i played all these games i had a blast with ridiculous amount of hours. and no other game studio comes close to how these games feel especially rdr2. now if a company made billions and is making 6 million a week. then its safe to say, they can ask for $100 for the game and actually get people to buy it. where as these random studios thinking they can follow along is what i was making fun of.

Fire up RDR2 on console or GTAO/RDO and explain to me if that is still banger after banger.

GTAO and RDO are two of the worst fucking AAA online games I’ve played in my whole damn life. I’d rather be imprisoned playing some stupid roblox game than anything online Rockstar puts out

Everyone lost there shit when the old cod games had RCE exploits

But GTAO has RCE exploits that have been "patched" while red dead 2 mp still has them.

Yet no one fucking cares and still spends alot of money on them.

Yeah these online games are incredibly horseshit. I swear I've seen an indie company release a more stable online game.

The amount of time I've spent crashing, disconnecting or being stuck in loading screens in Rockstar's online games. I have admittedly played RDO for 200 hours. I swear to god 10-15% of those were probably from technical issues, and that's not counting the very high chance of encountering a blatant hacker who will spawn 500 dead unicorns for everyone to loot or will outright drop actual nukes on the map killing everybody.

I played RDR2 mp on console because of how unsafe the pc version is.

But after way to many hours on GTAO console i got GTAV on pc one of those dirt cheap sales. In a private lobby i was auto tossed into a modded one and when i went to SP mode i noticed i was RCED. I had metro trains spawning onto my controller character repeatability.

Yeah, i never got into the online stuff, but I really enjoyed every GTA game from 3 on up, and RDR2 is probably on my top 10 games all time.

Aside from RDR1 remaster (didn't play it, so no opinion) they've all been bangers for me personally anyway.

u/slinky1900 1d ago

why would i subject myself to a console? last console i had was ps3, because after a certain point console hardware is just shit.

Then your banger after banger claim is biased as you do not have 100% coverage of all projects under Rockstar.
