Gta v is basically wii sports status. It's the ultimate casual game. People that buy a console but don't really game like that. They play cod,gta and madden/2k. And that's it.
Probably seems like i hate rockstar but I'm just so frustrated at what they've become. Used to be one of my favorite companies. Always pushing the envelope,pumping out games regularly.
Now they've just become this stagnant company taking 0 risks. I don't see them being the same company ever again after gta v. They will release 1 game every 5-7 years and it will be a games as a service structure. I expect red dead to be heavily emphasized on online keeping people in the game play loop spending money on micro transactions.
I'd love them to surprise me and take some risks again. But I'm not holding my breath. The old rockstar is most likely dead and it's probably related to the Leslie Benz drama.
