While Take-Two is riding high on their announcement that a GTA 6 trailer is coming, its CEO has some…interesting ideas on how much video games could cost, part of a contingent of executives that believe games are underpriced, given their cost, length or some combination of the two.

Sounds like someone wants me to not buy their overpriced game.

[-] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

Rockstar's games are the rare few I'd say are worth a full $60

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 41 points 2 years ago

That was before they started diarrhea shitting themselves since the founders left. GTA Trilogy, GTA+, and removing cars people paid for in Online is just a taste of things to come.

[-] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

I specifically mean their in-house single player games, so only GTA V and RDR2 for the last decade.

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

That's what I mean, Rockstar was a brand you could trust until after RDR2. Founders left right after and you can see how things changed right after.

[-] iheartneopets@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, they left and the change was IMMEDIATE. Holy moly the shit show that was RDO. If you were playing that game back then, you could see the crumbling of the company happening in real time, it was wild. RDO being left to rot is my Roman empire, and I wonder if the founders feel regret at all with how their creation was treated by the company they left. Or if they just dry their tears with hundos these days?

Heck, I don't even feel like RDR2 lived up to it's full potential before they left, what with post-game being the most buggy and unfinished-feeling part of the whole game. It felt like it was just waiting for DLC content to be added, since it was a huge patch of map with hardly anything going on. Sigh, who knows.

Too bad it will be at a minimum $70, and i bet with the hype, even $80, while also being chockful of microtransactions.

[-] SocialMediaSettler@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

It's Rockstar Games, they love microtransactions and Sharkcards and will more than likely implement more greed tactics into their next big game (GTA 6). I'm still pissed off over the bilking they did with the bunker series in GTA 5. They're a ruthless, greedy company. And don't forget those times they went after those fanboys/talented game designers who were revamping their old games like GTA 4. Those kids were super talented and Rockstar busted their asses like the mobsters they are. Fuck Rockstar and their next GTA greed fest.

[-] Guntrigger@feddit.ch 6 points 2 years ago

Don't call them mobsters, they probably think that sounds cool. More like corporate sell outs.

[-] vivadanang@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Yup. For every idiot like this, there's an indie game or even a Larian Studios offering MUCH better bang for your bucks.
