Feel bad for people passionate about GTA who paid good money for this. From the start, it reeked of a lazy, half-a**ed port in the worst way possible.
What surprised me however is given Rockstar's penchant for perfection about the smallest details, like we saw in RDR2, how they did a complete 180 and released his half-baked hot garbage.
@thecupidstunts: He means it's not your traditional race from point A to B stuff. There's fun off-beat modes online like a zombie mode where you have to infect the other teams, capture-the-flag, etc. Plus, you've got stunts and stuff. It's not your typical gearhead game, but it can be that too.
Just make another standalone single player Splinter Cell game FFS! How hard can it be? Ubi are hell bent on turning everything into either an online ecosystem or another huge open world game.
The game is honestly a mess. This was a current gen game, it wasn't even supposed to be on next gen consoles at the games release initially and only did because of the delays so it's not even an excuse of being a next gen game that was ported down to current gen consoles. Meanwhile there are plenty of games that both look and play better. Hopefully CDPR can improve things over time and I do think they will but as it stands right now the game really should have been delayed longer until it was actually ready to release.
It was but along the way, it became a next-gen game and they really should've been honest and not released the game on anything lower than PS4 Pro / Xbox One X where it at least runs acceptably (30 fps quality, 50-60 performance).
Could a company as big and rich as this have maybe created a safe bubble in some hotel or somewhere for those whose job was made most difficult by WFH? Like how they're doing for cricket teams...'bubbling' them for a few months during a tournament, away from all outside contact.
@Spartan_418: Yes, it took a pandemic to make it happen but definitely seems we're slowly approaching the day when theatres and streaming will compete side by side for day one release audiences, as it should be. I've always felt theatres should attract people on their own strengths instead of delaying a movie's release on streaming platforms.
