How Rockstar Killed the Gaming Industry (Including Themselves)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 ноя 2024
- Rockstar is great at what they do. They've created genre-defining games; open worlds that set new standards in the industry; and every release is marked by a big box office success and another masterpiece. But along with all that, they've done something else... that has irrevocably killed the entire gaming industry, and will soon destroy Rockstar themselves...

I'm 30 the younger kids have no idea how ground breaking gta 3 and san Andrea's was at the time when it came out no social media no RUclips just a tv ad
Real talk, my guy. I used to play Driver 2 back on the PS1 before playing GTA 3 and Vice City for the first time in 2003. My mind was blown on how those games were a huge upgrade from Driver 2, but the latter still had one advantage ober the former: cities. Driver 2 had multiple cities, while GTA 3 and VC had only one each.
But then San Andreas came along. Three cities, huge map, huge story, so many vehicles, so many customization options. Even after 3 and VC raised my standards, my mind got blown once again.
Half Life was much more ground breaking
My first game is vice city 😭
It was so good !!!! I still love it
@@BRNardy Driver 1 was my jam, 2 was great but I always go back to replay 1 every few years
I still consider GTA SA the most complete open world game set in modern age
Nah Fortnite destroyed the gaming industry but yall not ready for that talk
Yeah it was more Fortnite than GTA Online.
I honestly agree
It hasn’t.
they ain't ready for that fortnite battle pass convo frl
Yeaa..
I have never heard someone call it an A A A game
It's a ai talking that's why
@@untaint Bruh its not AI yall mfs be thinking everything is AI nowadays. If an AI voiceover got this good it would be talked about everywhere
The only people destroying the gaming industry are people who keep buying crappy games and their crappy microtransactions.
But people don't like to blame themselves for their own issues.
I don't blame the customers (except those who pre order - thats a recipe for disaster) i blame venture capitalists for turning a creative industry into a shareholder worshipping one.
That's why pirating is overpowered (though i never play shitty games lol)
Exactly. If we wouldn't buy trash they wouldn't make it anymore. And the shareholders wouldn't ask for the crap if it didn't work. I haven't watched the video but rockstar is not to blame for our consumerism.
Brother spitting facts 🔥
consumers are always dumb, the people taking advantage of dumnb people are still liable
im sorry but this is a brain dead take. when will people understand that people vote for what they want with their wallets? rockstar, or any other studio, didn't kill the industry. gamers did. if we stopped buying garbage, studios would stop making garbage.
yes, its actually that simple.
I 100% agree with you. Maybe if companies stopped trying to push a political agenda I might actually buy their games
@@maximusdiaz736 political agendas are not the main reason why video games lose quality, even tho it can affect, you are missing the real point that us, gamers in general, are not doing the right thing.

Rockstar's fault?
Consumer's fault
Bingo if people were not willing to pay them over a billion dollars every year just from the fake money you can spend in the game. There would have been a bigger focus on them doing what they did before where they made a numbered title, made titles expanding upon what they had learned, before going back to the drawing board and making an evolution, doing the whole process over again. It didn't help that the numbers for GTA online was bigger than the numbers for the GTA4 DLC also.
You can’t blame the consumer for just wanting something over nothing, some people will take that! Eventually, everyone learns the folly in their thinking. Not everyone reaches the same wisdom at the same pace or at the same time.
If you wanna see it in practice, go look at Madden people keep buying that piece of shit because there’s nothing else there’s no other NFL game!! it’s something over nothing!

I first thought that RDR2 story being an allegory for the discourse going on a R* was far fetched but it makes more sense when you remember that GTA IV's story is likely also an allegory of how the Houser brothers (Niko & Roman) felt and experience in America after immigrating there from Europe.
You mean immigrating from England
@@rickfruitygrimes england is unfortunately in europe
Zelnick has given Dan and Sam Houser unlimited time and compared to other devs unlimited budget since he took over in 2007 and his first decision as CEO was allowing them to push the original release date to make sure GTA4 was a quality game. He's allowed Ken Levine, if you include pre-production, to work on Judas for 11 years. We have no real indication that is going to ship for sure next year either.
I am not happy about the decision to strip the singleplayer DLC for parts to add into GTA Online. I wanted us to get story content like GTA4 did. Barring that, they could have structured GTA Online in a way where you could have used your cellphone and played through the story missions by yourself if you wanted to. I'd miss not being able to play as a character with personality but it would be better than how its currently structured.
But I'm not going to blame him for everything bad. Then not give him credit for the good things that he does. Especially when there is no evidence he forced them to switch tactics. Rather that it would require a lot of work and would have delayed developement of RDR2, at a time when the team felt ready to move on.
This is a cold hard fact, no other CEO in the industry would have allowed them to not meet the original 2023 fiscal year they agreed to. Any other company would have said "too bad, take what you have, polish it best you can and ship it." The only other time a CEO allows for that sort of thing is if they have full faith in their creatives, or if they are also the one who is making the product with a perfectionist mindset.
It's also ironic that Take-Two's CEO's first name is Strauss, whose last name belongs to a character from RDR2 known for loansharking and being spineless.
@@dcworld4349 yeah Strauss is definitely not to blame I think this video just uses him as a scapegoat cause we basically have 0 information about this supposed Rockstar devs and Take Two beef so this video just used the president of T2 as a scapegoat.
So.. the entire point is that since GTA Online was so successful, it's the reason other studios pivoted to live service? Brother it could have been any other game. This model was bound to be successful, whether that's a good thing or not. You can't really blame one company for realising it earlier than the other.
This video feels like it's made by AI. Why tf would you pronounce AAA like ''ay ay ay''? Also the script does not make sense.
How does this channel only have 100 subs?!?! This quality overpasses channels with millions. Earned my sub.
It's probably new? But this ain't a new RUclipsr
Brother , having more subs doesn't change a person's skill😭🙏
His voice sounds at least 300k ngl

if Arthur is Rockstars & Take 2 is Strauss, then GTA VI is John Marston
Ubisoft is Micah
@albertnewtonify Then Edgar Ross is EA
so gta 6 will live just long enough for things to seem like they're all going to be ok only to be absolutely shredded into bits by corporate greed?
you know, this analogy might just work
@@oyblech8671 GTA 6 will probably be milked for 15 years

I literally cannot watch this video. The 5x speed gameplays and videos is just literally too much. Use slower ones, more meaningful clips, and if it's really necessary just cut some parts if you can't fit everything you wanted to show (not that you could understand anything while everything goes at Mach-10 speed).
fast paced editing ≠ good editing
Brainrot editing
Rockstar killed itself -> GTA6 will be probably the most succesfull game ever created. I'm not even a fan it's just that clear.
GTA 6 might also be a wet noodle and the biggest disappointment in video game history. Nothing is infallible.
@@space.raider.2271 I think at least in term of public perception with the current track record, and how rockstar and parent company has been lately. I think GTA6 will receive mixed reviews
@@space.raider.2271 you see, when you put 2 billion dollars on something there is little to not chance for it to flop. too big to fail to put it simply
@@サイバー狼 Yeah the first trailer with it's 220 million views, small amount of dislike ratio really showed the world how mixed the reception will be. Their last game Red Dead Redemption 2 was just as big of a dissapointment right?
@@detto1998 I never said rdr2 was a disappointment.. its a great game..
And yes the trailer was well received, but it absolutely doesn't show anything. Or tell us anything about the game besides 2 protagonists, and where the game will take place.
If I remember correctly borderlands 3 was the same way. Hyped up til launch where people realize the story is garbage. Or at least it's how I remember it. Though I would be glad if you prove me wrong.
Look at ubisoft, EA, Rocksteady. They used to make peak games, but now make only slop.
Rockstar isn't safe from having the same thing happen to them.
Though only part I would think be lacking in GTA6 is the story. Other than that I could see it be excellent in comparison. But the story can drag something with amazing gameplay to unplayable. Like how I feel for borderlands 3.
Though the online part might fare better.
At least for singleplayer I still say it's going to be mixed.
I don't think that people necessarily are tired of games because Rockstar spins years nearly decades on working on their games. I think the biggest issue that Gamers have with games nowadays is the fact that they all get pushed out what seems like under yearly Cycles and come out absolutely buggy. I think the biggest example of this being Cyberpunk 2077 or even Battlefield 2042. And and I personally believe the reason why games are pushed to release so quickly too is so there's less money being spent on the development process and more money being earned through microtransactions through the game which we see that Rockstar had so much success with with Sharkcards.
100% correct. I do believe yearly releases for popular games just cannibalizes the industry, the developers sales of the next game and even beyond. I'm an adult with a job and it's kind of taxing to try and "PAY" (who, me? not happening) for a "season pass" and try to experience it all within IDK, 2 months? And then the whole game is out of support (updates/season/drought of content) because either the next game is in development or we're close to release date, and I'm supposed to be happy about all my progress and "cosmetics" going down the drain? It's just a huge FOMO money making machine imho. Should Activision change game every 2 years, there would be less crunch for the developers, quality would soar and the market wouldn't be so saturated with COD. Should Ubisoft lift their foot out of the pedal, and release a new Assassin's Creed game every two years as well, the games wouldn't be so buggy, the content would be much better and I might had purchased at full price, instead of waiting for a sale, which is what most people do, as I did last time (Valhalla). What I mean is, there is such thing as a backlog, and plenty of people like to do things in order. But then, time constraints, and life gets in the way. You miss one, and just never go back to it.
The way you say 'ey ey ey ' makes my brain hurt. 'Triple ey' rolls off the tongue a lot better.
You are the most underrated person I have EVER seen. Keep it up man. You earned a sub. (pls remember me when you get big)
Thanks, man, I'll definitely remember you.
Seems like Chat GPT shat his channel and persona after being forcefed hours of the "phucking pwonouns" pink balding Starfield guy, the basement pisser, Mr. No Bullshit and other pathetic right wing gamer grifters who talk the same.
4:56 You had me panicking there. ahahahaha 😂🤣
1:00 We need the Gif of Bryan Cranston angrily going "Are you actually THIS stupid!?"
You are SERIOUSLY underestimating how hard companies will try to do as little as possible for profit. Starfield and Star Wars Outlaws weren't released that long ago.
Well, I disagree. Larian did it; they created a Rockstar-level game. This shows that it is possible, but companies don't want to work hard; they want easy money, and this is the real problem because there is no easy money. The reason Rockstar earned so much is because of hard work and vision. Laziness and greed are the things that are killing the gaming industry, alongside the woke mind virus.
Not sure if it was consistently say "Ay, Ay, Ay game" instead of "Triple A" or "Hooser" instead of "Houser" but I cringed and gave this a dislike.
The industry is bigger and stronger than ever and also keeps growing, it might not be the best for the player, but Rockstar ain't killing nothing. Also Dan houser left in 2020, with the production of GTA6 starting in 2013 and the full production starting atleast in 2015. I'd assume most of the writing and game direction was done by 2020. Drawing parallels between Dutch and Sam is also wild to me, since Dan and Sam still have a great relationship and Dan also said he would be there to take an advisory role for important decisions. It's not like he left the company because of the environment, he just made his money, lost his passion and thought it might be a good time to call it (probably even because his job with gta 6 was pretty much done)
Right? There click bait bs seems to completely overlook the fact that videogames are one of the biggest forms of media consumed across the planet raising unbelievable amounts of money, with new games being released weekly. Evidently they have no concept of “death” 😂
@ajburt1998 it's not even click bait, they really mean it and talk about it in the video aswell, but they're just wrong
I'm not saying you are wrong about the other things, but where do you have this idea that full production started in 2015? The team was split between stripping the planned content for the singleplayer into GTA Online and the other half working on RDR2. Its possible that Dan wrote the core story before he left and then they just have to rewrite it for things that will no longer make sense.
But one of the reasons GTA6 took so long was at one point Dan said that it was hard to write satire because of how reality had become satire. In 2018 Dan said in an interview: "It’s really unclear what we would even do with it (talking about GTA6), let alone how upset people would get with whatever we did."
@dcworld4349 I looked it up real quick and I was assuming the studios working on rdr2 were independent from those working on GTA6, but apparently all Rockstar studios worked on rdr2 at the time.
Though I would guess that didn't affect Dan and other writers too much. Also I did not really dig into interviews, but from what you said I would rather say Dan was unhappy because of cultural and political change limiting him and not because of strauss zelnick and Sam
@@dcworld4349 in the same interview he said he's glad that GTA VI won't launch in a Trump presidency and well... 😭😭😭😭
3:10 I dont expect games to have the same level of rockstar, I expect triple A games to have at least the same level/ if not more compared to their older games, but with at least slightly better graphics.
Literally when growing up, each console generation would bring games that push graphics, and have more gameplay/content available for the player. But ever since the PS4/Xbox one it seems that only graphics are getting push while the amount of content/gameplay from triple A studios have either stay the same compared to xbox 360/ps3 era or had less to offer.
Just a waste of time and clickbait
i used to love me some ay ay ay games til they turned into corporate greed
Its an interesting theory
Honestly huge respects to dan if thats true
There is a term, which I keep repeating, yet no one seems willing to seriously discuss in relation to video games. Yet it goes a long way toward explaining why there is such a dissonance between how games, “publishers,” and games studios prioritise things and the priorities of games consumers. That term I keep using? “ART FORM.”
That is what’s being lost here. It is always the games with unique worlds, interesting stories, compelling characters, plots that make sense and don’t break the internal logic of the world and which are valid pieces of ARTISTIC EXPRESSION that succeed!
Not games that hijack a franchise to lecture its audience on what to think, how to behave or what is important in life. And not games that are insultingly transparent in their attempts to establish an ongoing financial, “relationship,” with the player (I can’t think of anything worse) which they call, “engagement,” but which merely means data mining, data scraping and constant attempts to get more of your time and MONEY out of you, while they turn YOU into the, “product,” by selling all of your personal information, far beyond your playing habits, but including your employment status, bank records, criminal history, etc. to the highest bidder!
The irony is that companies can actually do all of that, with the tacit blessing of the customer IF they sell them a product that registers with audiences as ART! And GTA5 is an illustrative example of just that.
People love the GTA characters, that world, the freedoms they have to do what they like in it, the chaos and the order, because it, “feels,” real to them. The stakes are high, the characters are compelling, the bonuses, “feel,” worth it, because they CARE about what happens to them in that world and what they can achieve in it. That is ART. In the same way that movies are an art form that achieves its aims by collaborating with a range of art forms toward one final, diegetic experience: background music, lighting effects, acting, script writing, sound technicians, you name it. It’s all there in a video game.
And you can do that well, or you can screw it up, but in the end, like with movies and TV, it is either, “good,” or, “bad,” art. And if the makers of games would just try to remember that one, simple fact, they would make banger after banger.
What Take Two showed us was that you have to make the art FIRST. And if you have people flocking to playing your game because it is a great work of art, you are THEN and ONLY THEN in a position to parley that successful work of art into an ongoing revenue stream. You really DON’T NEED to start out with player, “engagement,” and a, “monetisation,” model as the design of your game. In fact, if you really want to get richer than GOD, you should eschew anything that looks or even smells a bit exploitative from the outset.
Make ART and then you can easily get your ongoing revenue stream going. Start out with a live service model (especially if you’re converting what people are used to playing as a single player experience) and you’re destined to fail.
And, if you want to make art, you have to hire ARTISTS. The writers, graphical artists, sculptors and painters who are trained and committed to telling great STORIES with compelling characters in a world that is exciting to inhabit. Publishers, because they are investment firms first, always miss this and put the cart before the horse. That doesn’t bother them because they can recoup any losses by killing the studios they forced to make some live service slop against their will in the first place. Which is why the pattern repeats.
Until it hurts the publishers, we will never see this change.
More gamers than ever. Rockstar hasn’t destroyed gaming. They couldn’t. Theres a whole world out there that doesn’t involve open world rockstar games
Indeed, Ubisoft is and was killing ubisoft due to uber use the Far Cry 3 formula
If the kids would stop blowing mommy's credit card on Rockstar's horrendous online modes, we would be getting games much quicker.

6:50 woah woah woah hold up the phone hold up the phone boy, leslie benzies didnt leave because he wanted to leave no he was on sabbatical and when he came back they didnt wanna give him his cut of the profits the cut he deserved so he was fired not by jis own hand but because they gave him no choice when he also said that they needed to focus on gta online more, the houser brothers disagreed and fired him, technically it was announced that "he left" butt the story behind closed doors is a bit darker then that, rockstar cut him out of the picture and focused on online mode anyway, in which shortly there after a few more employees left due to the hipocritical nature of take2 and rockstar as a whole do not get that mixed up
came from the short and watched the whole vid. Great video you easily gained a new sub :)
The gaming industry is doing just fine and it has definitely not been killed.
I saw this problem coming all the way in 2011 with BF3. As much as I loved playing it online, I knew that it wasn't going to capture that charm forever. I originally bought the game because I thought that everything you're able to do online would be in single-player. And how fucking disappointed I was when I saw that it wasn't at all. I turned out to be more right than I thought today.
So damn disappointing.
Rockstar hasn't "turned" into a company motivated by green instead of creativity by pushing content for GTA online instead of V's campaign, they obviously need funding for their games. When you plan on funneling millions to develop a game for over a decade, you need to support your current cash cows. The singleplayer DLC post-release content business model just doesn't work anymore
Gamers did. We buy garbage, we empower these people. I broke the cycle for myself, i refuse to be a part of this anti consumer cycle
Its not Rockstars fault the other companies cant keep up and keep putting out 2 or 3 "AAA" games per year. quality takes time and love and should not be rushed i.e. Cyberpunk at launch.
i am your 245 subscriber remember me when you become millionaire youtube
actually astonished, that was such a well put together and concise breakdown, i honestly thought i was on channel with thousands of subscribers, you're gonna hit 10k in like a month or two, i'd almost guarantee
This guy is going to rise up, the video was great
GTA Online is a creativity dead-end and Rockstar knew it but it's so lucrative that they simply can't stop even tho they must've realized it drastically changed their game development . It's the greed. If only this absurd amount of money would be used to produce better games, hire good devs and writers, give them time... but no, we know most of that money is to make sure millionaires get richer. GTA6 might be the exception, it won't disappoint. The sad part is at what cost, they completely sacrificed other games such as RDR2/online, so must potential wasted. Rockstar bet all their money on their next milking cow (gta6 online)
So uhhh I love the gaming community, they hate microtransaction so much but they still addicted to play the said game😂. Anyway, maybe Dan Houser write RDR2 as his last game in Rockstar because he write it to recap his work from the start of the company to the end of his career at R* so that when the company falls he can say to all of us "that's what I'm trying to f*ckn say, there's no Rockstar without me" or something like that😂
I thought this channel would have alot of subscribers based on video quality, but imagine my suprise when i saw you only had 256 subscribers. instant sub
Funny, Upper Echelon Gaming once predicted Genshin would ruin video gaming...
But Chinese games exist in their own ecosystem and making profits while Western games repeatedly shooting themselves on the foot with nothing but themselves to blame...
The fact that GTA VI is arriving next year, one questions why this video was made at all.
So apparently it’s Rockstars fault for killing the industry and making consumers have high standards of modern AAA gaming because studios can’t top their previous titles from over a decade ago…
as of lately, rockstar have gone back to the trilogy edition and fixed some things that the remaster should have had
*Rockstar better knock it out the park with GTA6 or it's gonna be Trouble trouble* 💀
imagine the awesome single players expansions we could've seen for RDR2 had Rockstar not become greedy...
Clearly, the suits won and the creatives have to take a backseat or leave! Sounds like a recipe for stagnation and self implosion
Gaming industry seems to be doing quite fine. The death of some of the companies is not the same thing as the death of the entire industry. So you might wanna consider a better title.
Dude , you're so underrated , u deserve more subs
Video essay slop just hit a new low. Pointless video filled with brainrotted edits.
Glad to be your 70th sub!
So whenever someone says games were better back then, it's more than just nostalgia lol.
rockstar surprises me how they, even after 10 years, still find assets they havent reused yet. The result is stupid shit like a chicken factory raid
Rockstar doesn't have the final say in GTA now T2 does.
Moreover, the only way to let the studio know about the need for a new game is when people start moving away from the game which isn't the case with GTA 5.
Heck it has about 200k players everyday on GTA and FiveM combined on PC alone with at least the same number of players on console.
Stop playing and see the magic!
still waiting for chess 2
I don't think it's necessary for games to be as expansive as GTA V, just make them polished. Preferably, fun and providing something new. I think a great example of a game that's just purely fun is Doom Eternal and I suspect Doom Dark Ages will be the same way.
Absolutely correct, shit has got so bad am replaying old games. You earned a subscriber form India 🤝🏼🙏🏼

It's been 7 years since it's release, that's 100% your problem. Complaining about spoilers for a 7 year old game is peak entitlement
It sucks that people assume that because the game is 6 years old everyone on earth already played it. The same happened to me and even tho the story is fantastic and you should still play it if you can, having the ending spoiled ruins most of the emotional weight. I feel you man

Seriously, Spoilers are a good thing, especially if you playing and experience the story for the first time!
@@Young_Barkley spoilers are spoilers, there are a lot of things that can happen for someone to not be able to play an old game or watch an old movie... for example: the immense amount of entertainment content that the world has, to the point that one can't watch/play everything because it's just too much. No need to be rude about that.

Also knowing it may be the last new GTA many of us play is....very sad.
You earned a sub buddy! Never compromise on this quality content!
Well made! would have liked it to be a little longer video
Nah, I have to disagree here. Greed and the stupidity of trying to force the customer to become a endless ATM machine with live services, instead of accepting that a variety of customers with different tastes exist and if you want money from all of them you have to segment and offer different products to different audiences, there is a clear problem with management in AAA games. And it's not because people are expecting everyone to deliver Rockstar level scope or polish, hell the majority of the biggest success of the last 2 years were not even close to those standards. Players are not stupid, if you show us a 50 million dollars game we will not treat it as a 250 million dollar game. I and most people I know do not want Ubisoft for example to compete with Rockstar, but can they at least maintain the quality of past releases and just update the graphics? We are not comparing everyone with Rockstar we are comparing the current company output with those own company previous output and they are regressing. They are spending much more money and their games keep getting worse. Even smaller scales project like AC Mirage, that isn't trying to be a bloated endless game, can't compare to a PS3 game in deep.
There is clearly a problem with mismanagement, micromanaging (bureaucracy) and a lack of talent (they probably are firing or pushing for retirement the old guard that have higher salaries and hiring young inexperienced and cheaper, besides being activists more interested in virtue signaling instead of doing a good game) on most company today. Which is making those companies very inefficient and wasteful, and outside of graphics because of the prevalence of unreal (or they have in-house engines and computer graphics is something so complicated that is really hard to hire someone that is completely inept at yet) everything has become worst in most studios. And even graphics either because of lack of art direction or not enough engine engineers to optimize games the last 5+ years have either stagnated in graphics or look worst than previous installments, of if look better is marginally better but run 10x worst.
The budgets and time frame of development don't make any sense when you see smaller studios doing comparable games with a fraction of the budget and/or development time. How the hell a game like Lies of Pi or Space Marine II sells a million or two of copies and the studio is happy and promising dlc, sequel, etc, so it means that with 60 to 120 million in revenue they already broke even or made a profit. While with 400 million dollars Sony makes Concord 12 little maps and 16 ugly characters.
This mess was not cause by us. AAA companies need to reevaluate their entire pipelines to cut inefficiency. They need to stop letting go senior experienced talent to cut cost in the short term. They need to foster talent, specially technical talent. Ubisoft executive said recently that half of the staff working in AC Shadows are new hires that never shipped a game before. That is insane for a project of that scope. They need to cultivate creative leads with strong and passionate views and let them cook without needing to second guest every single decision with committee. So you don't get 8-10 year project like Veilguard that are rebooted multiple times. At the very least they can reach a situation that they still do take 5 years to develop a title, and hundreds of million dollars, but them their games will not be absolute crap and will be polished at launch (something Sony was being able to maintain until recently, but their games are being killed by ideological activists) and probably sell.
Dan left with pride his stories will forever remain in our hearts
They recently put out an update for the trilogy disaster that fixes a good amount of issues, but not all. Looks a lot more like the originals. I swear to $DEITY if GTA VI & Elder Scrolls VI is screwed up I'm quitting gaming for good. And I started with the ColecoVision.

I think GTA Vice City was just a little bit too good (like 1-2% Better than San Andreas) and this is what cost rockstar the most. Everygame after it has been a let down in a way. the opening theme was damn near perfect and the city although small, was full of stuff to do.
im ur 18th sub remember me when u big
Thx dude. Now you're part of the story.
Indie games are where its at
When I heard the name Strauss 6 years ago on the first playthrough
I got exactly this idea that this was Dan's mention to Strauss zelnick of him being greedy
Things come to an end which opens up for new beginnings.
Amazing vid!! this needs to blow up
im pretty sure gamers are killing the gaming industry already. they dont need rockstar's help
This guy is a ubisoft secret agent
Maybe if studios stop hiring "woke" people for once and start hiring based on merit.
Dan Houser’s work is done years before games release 🤷🏼♂️ so you are wrong about gta 6 not being good because he isn’t with the company anymore. What comes after GTA6, now those products will most likely be very different. Rockstar started gta6 development back in 2013-2014
Obligatory, we got downfall of Rockstar before GTA6
I find this funny because there are videos that show just how much GTA 5 is a Downgrade from GTA 4. I to this day will listen to the Radio stations from GTA San Andrea just to get good music and a laugh. I can't even remember a Song in GTA 5. I do not and can not understand why GTA 5 is so popular. Its story is boring, its characters are obnoxious, its Satire is childlike, its online still so somehow less fun than RDR Undead nightmare. It literally is Modern LA. I do not watch Jimmy Kimmel, why the hell would I want to watch a Rockstar satire of it. Its impressive I can do that but why would I want too.
man has 33 subs , give him some more .
That's what the world needs, another fucking grifter for incel gamers, to contribute to their echo chamber and say the same shit to them over and over again
that metal slug Bg score......😂🤣😂🤣😂😅
Rockstar makes game for gamers. And I'm glad that CD Projekt has done the same. ❤️
Rest of them are too busy cooking their agenda. UBISOFT, EA are on the top😜
SAY IT WITH ME.
