Katana314, do gaming w Take-Two CEO Says Publisher Is in 'Growth Mode' in Wake of GTA 6 Announcement

Any chance of this being a flop? Years ago, we would have said no way, but we’ve seen some high-profile screwups before. It’s certainly at the time period where Rockstar might have brain drain on its better developers.

scottywh,

Zero chance at all in my opinion.

They could shit the bed completely on it and still sell millions of copies.

I’ve been a fan since the original late 90s top down version and there’s no way I’d miss it.

They won’t shit the bed though. It’s going to be fucking amazing.

I agree with you and coming from a different perspective. I’ve tried the games and they just don’t do it for me for whatever reason. I don’t see this flopping at all. I also think recent launches will make sure they have things ready to go. It will sell like crazy and the fans that love the games will love it I’m sure.

scottywh,

Right on.

I can appreciate that perspective.

There’s just no way on earth I could imagine it flopping at this point even if I personally didn’t think I’d like it so it makes sense to me.

Growth mode only to go into shrink mode some years from now at employee (and likely consumer) expense… Why can’t companies just go for stable mode?

Because maximum profit at all costs mode.

Murdoc,

It’s nothing personal, it’s only business. You understand.
:p

Booted up GTAO the other day and I’m straight up worried about GTA6.

I hear it. GTAO could still be the most played game on steamcharts if they hadn't tried to wring the players for every cent.

But man, that driving engine, and that flying engine.

I just hope they updated the gunplay.

DeskP1loti,

vehicle damage also on point

Fucking flaming gasoline trails, vehicles actually running out of gas after having their tanks punctured, it seems like the ejection was really toned down in GTAO but you could really get out of the windshield in single player.

I did get ejected through an incoming car in cyberpunk recently and was like "wow been a while."

Zahille7,

I haven’t played in a couple years. Are you still bombarded with texts and phone calls as soon as you load into the game? And is theininap barely visible because of all the mission/activity markers?

Because that’s how it was last time I got on there. And that was right after they added the demolition derby stuff.

PP_BOY_,

Reading this comment makes me give kudos for letting GTA V (singleplayer) exist as its own thing. I haven’t played GTAO since probably 2015 and have no idea what it’s like because of how little Rockstar pushes it on Singleplayer players.

Jakeroxs,

Just wish they released any SP content

Murdoc,

No, they’ve done a couple of really nice qol updates lately that got rid of most of those, or at least reduced the calls to texts. I mean there’s still some annoyances, but it is better than it was. At least, last time I was there. Only join in maybe once a month or so now.

scottywh,

I’ve never experienced being bombarded with texts and calls in GTAO on Xbox…

Those fucking flying motorcycle things and flying Deloreans are annoying as hell though.

The entire IGN article is just a copy paste of the original announcements from Valve:

WTF IGN

waterhouse, do gaming w Starfield Patch Adding Native DLSS Support and Other Improvements Is Coming Soon - IGN

are they finishing all the half-baked /game/ portions of the rest of the game? (outposts, space combat, fast travel, etc :) )

ursakhiin,

I get that things felt sparse but Starfield does have over 200 hours of content. That’s roughly how much went into my first playthrough and I never felt like it was repetitive. I also didn’t go for completion so there were likely another 100 hours I skipped.

So it sounds like the developers had a better bead on why D2 has been losing numbers and there’s no way for them to provide feedback. And as a result, they were probably tied into the layoffs. Talk about some obvious mismanagement. The wrong person was laid off.

The last thing workers want to hear is “the right people” when they see their friends and colleagues laid off. I was at a company that said that after a round of layoffs, the CEO got absolutely roasted for saying it.

Then stop pushing the player base away with predatory profiteering tactics.

This is on leadership, not the workers. It’s a shame they have to suffer for the mistakes of a profit greedy leadership team.

I’m that case, just wait until Marathon fails epicly.

kilodelta, do games w Bungie CEO Claims Layoffs Were Due to Destiny 2 Underperformance - IGN

Bungie milked their audience with a hard drive occupying piece of shit. The design of Neomuna was crap. The characters were crap. The story was awful. The level design was amateurish at best.

It makes me mad that I have an addictive itch that needs scratching.

Stop selling overpriced expansions that never go on sale with a new one coming every week.

Cmon at least Sims 4 does bundles and shit

Destiny 2 came out in 2017. Maybe make a new game, instead of trying to leech off of the old one for 6 years?

False,

You can’t even play the game from 2017 anymore

Crystal_Shards64, do games w Bungie CEO Claims Layoffs Were Due to Destiny 2 Underperformance - IGN

I stopped playing when the first dlc dropped. Honestly if they stuck with their original vision of destiny and kept the first game going I would have probably stuck with it.

I miss the halo era of bungie. Bring that bungie back lol

Layoffs were actually due to inept leadership.
