Then it became one great Rockstar game a year.

Now we might not even get a great game every five years.

But yeah, gaming is the best it has ever been.

If you define the quality of the entire gaming industry by the output of a single developer with a couple studios, then youre probably going to be disappointed no matter which dev you pick.

I'd rather wait and have non-rushed games and R* always took their time and had release push backs. Still, R* is going down the drain since Take Two are more plan on finding more ways to rip off their customers. Their CEO outright admitted it.

Rockstar have proven they dont really deserve major success as they keep their established franchises hostage in favour of a steady micro transactions machine rolling.

Pretty sad for a major studio.

Yet no one complains when smaller companies use the same business models, especially those from Japan.

maybe because they're "smaller" companies without many established franchises built over the years?

They published the port, they did not publish the original. And them "being great" isn't really the same as them developing the game is it?

Lets just stick to the real point here, there was never a time R* released 3 great games in a year and it was few and far between when they would release 2 great or even decent games in a year.

I'm willing to concede it even though it isn't great the way red dead redemption was

it still isn't enough to save the topic if you allow it

I misread, but it is still bullshit either way.

Rockstars games were fun as hell and great for the generation they came out in. I'll never understand the weird thing CE does where Rockstars old games are held up to the standards of modern gaming but literally every other game is held up to the standards of their time.

I like rockstar, I just don't see any year where they had a lot of great games even by the standards of the time

it doesnt make them a bad company. I like treasure and they've never been putting out 2-3 great games a year, even at their most productive
