I'm really worried about the state of GTA 6 if and when it ever comes out. It's all about money and not the games for Rockstar now and it's been that way for some time.
-
Buying GTA 6 or not, for me, depends solely on one single factor. Is the singleplayer experience worth the price?
As far as I'm concerned, the multiplayer doesn't exist. But if the singleplayer game is great, I'm not going to deprive myself of it to make a point. Good AAA games are hard to come by nowadays.
-
I'm really not holding my breath for a great (or even good for that matter) single player experience. No way to make money there.

It's just going to be GTA:O2. Look at how they abandoned V.
-
Their game design has been pretty trash for a while now. They need to update their mission structure.
-
-
So, one thing: after being forced to stop playing RDR2 cos it wouldn’t connect to their social club I’ll never, ever buy a game from them. Ever.

[enshittification intensifies]

and this is why I'll likely never buy another game from any company that uses microtransctions, in-app purchases, pay-to-win, rich idiots yacht fund, or whatever bs they call it these days... especially when these days they aren't even 'micro'!
I really don't get it though. in-game purchases make every game just awful and yet people are spending 1000's on them and it's like how does anyone how that kinda money to waste when if I had that kinda money I sure as hell wouldn't be wasting it on shitty pay-to-win game!
So hopefully if it turns out to be as shitty as people are starting to expect, how many people are still going to buy it..
-
I think it is important to distinguish pay to win microtransactions from cosmetic microtransactions. The latter are a great way for rich players to support the game and get bragging rights, while not affecting other people's gameplay. Even 'pay to win more easily' can be fine if kept to a reasonable level.

This is the first time rockstar and their publisher have been scumbags...right?
-
First time this last 24 hours yes
-
I've quite honestly given up on them now that the Housers have gone. Very little excitement for GTA6.
-
-
I've got to hand it to them. Rockstar is really addept at squeezing the most money out of a person while doing the least amount of work.
-
They have fallen quite a bit. I remember when they were one of the most loved studios.
-
Have there been any studios that have been loved, gotten way bigger, and didn't become wicked greedy?
-
I wanted to say CDPR, but I guess they fell from grace with CP2077.
I'd still rate them as rather trustworthy though.Santa Monica Studio has also stuck to their guns with the GoW games and Cory Barlog seems to be a beacon of hope in this dirty industry.
Also Nintendo have been semi-decent. Yes the games are costly, but expansion packs are usually worth the dough if released. They probably fall outside the scope though...
-
My immediate thought would be Papyrus, who made the Nascar Racing games in the early 2000s, and has gone on to make Iracing. Though they technically don't exist anymore the Iracing crew is literally the Papyrus crew now.

Devolver Digital?

One thing I find intriguing is the total 180 in people's opinion on this compared to when skull girls removed content from a game people had already paid for.
Personally, I hate when games remove content, and think it should always be an option to roll back your version to any previous update as a built in feature
-
Yes! Give me Zelda Tears of the Kingdom 1.1.1 again. For... not item duping reasons
-
If you play on PC or have access to a jailbroken switch, that is doable.
