People seem to think that Rockstar milked it, and still is. Lots of paid content and P2W, if I’m not mistaken?
Personally only played online for an hour or two, I much prefer the single player experience, especially the story lines.
GTA V was great.
RDR2 was brilliant, a masterpiece.
If you want to hold grievances over rockstar it shouldn’t be milking a success, it should be how they treat their developers and content creators.
But that’s an industry problem, not something specific to Rockstar.
Personally I’m happy that they take the time to make these great games instead of rushing out a title every year like some companies do, but on the other hand it was really awesome how GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas came out in rapid succession of each other and each game was bigger, better, and technically better than the previous one.
Then GTA IV and RDR came fairly quickly after that, then we got GTA V in 2013.
At some point the scope and ambition just got so big that these games now takes 8 or so years to make (RDR2).
I’m looking forward to GTA VI. And I would be surprised if it doesn’t break the $1 billion opening sale (3 first days) of GTA V.
People seem to think, because they did.
