Rockstar generally does not show up at E3. Not saying they won’t make any announcements during but I would temper expectations.
Nothing makes gta money. They can’t set that bar for themselves, it’ll fail every time.
I doubt they think Red Dead is going to do GTAV numbers.
I’m all for another bully.
I want to laugh at this as its KI and Xbox, but honestly I can’t as I get just as hype for other game series.
I am curious but what are the changes that IG made to KI that ruined the game for your?
Think about it now, I am curious too.
For me personally I hated how in season 3 combo breakers were changed. Before when you landed a successful combo breakers you would get a knockdown with a nice advantage. Now the when you combo break the aggressor flips out and resets neutral. Felt it took my reward away for successfully landing a breaker.
They basically became patch happy like NRS changing characters too much and the new content and characters were lacking hard as far as polish/animation goes, and they went complete anime with some of the new characters and direction of the game. I saw a video recently of how the ultimates look and they look like a high school project.
I also didn’t like some mechanical changes, such as the combo breaker changes as mentioned up above. I also didn’t like how they changed the air breakers and what not, and I didn’t like how they changed how Glacius could break from far away risk free, and instead made him slide in close. I thought it was just something that made him unique and fun, and the way they changed it looked so bad. Like the animations in general, as I mentioned above, are amateur as shit once IG took over. The air combo breaker animations also look really stupid for a lot of characters.
They basically just tried to do too much to the core mechanices of the game and characters by getting patch happy, and I didn’t like the direction the game went. I’d take season 1 with the 8 characters over the crap that is out there now.
Unless MS has some real crazy shit planned (probably in regards to the Scorpio and its capabilities beyond just the Xbox titles) - I have no idea what the fuck are they trying to do this generation. It’s like they blew their load early when they realized they fucked up in a major way with the DRM bullshit and PS4 taking the lead, and now they don’t have anything to please the crowd with. MAYBE the backwards compatibility with the original Xbox, but that’s about it
They can hype the hardware inside the Scorpio all they want but they can’t nor will be able to ride on that, let alone bring the situation around and catch up with Sony (and there’s like a 30 million unit gap between the two now)
The only way I see MS actually making Scorpio useful is basically making it a glorified Steam Machine with Microsoft branding and making it cross-compatible with all PC games, since the thing will run Windows 10 out of the box anyway and Direct X is a big part of it, both software and hardware wise
Nothing Rockstar makes will ever pull GTA numbers, but they still have yet to release a flopped game(unless you count the initial blunders of GTAO). Since they actually don’t rush a game out the door, they’ve gotten a reputation for quality whether you like their games or not. If they drop a game, it’s a finished, playable product. Right now people will buy a game on the Rockstar logo alone.
I think maybe the closest thing to a flop they could release right now is another Manhunt installment. It would meet it’s sales requirements for sure, but I can’t say it would be a record breaker.
I miss midnight club
I also miss Midnight Club. It would be great to get another Smuggler’s Run
Midnight Club LA got left behind too early. Once the server was shut down - you basically lost half of game’s featurette, including buying tuned cars from other players
LA didn’t have the personality that 2 or 3 did imo. The city was great, driving was ok… But I never felt as vested in the race as those two made me.
Yeah it was as typically unforgiving, but I didn’t feel it was a personal or over the top as its predecessors. I had a very good time with it though.
That’s because, like you said, they don’t drop something super shitty.
They’re like what Bethesda could be if they tried harder. All the resources in the world due to the fact that their games print money (GTAV is still selling copies somehow), and a proven track record for quality.
Anyways, I respect the fact that Rockstar will still put out games other than GTA. The fact that we can actually think about shit like Red Dead Redemption 2 and see it become a thing is awesome. I almost believe that we could see a Bully 2 of some sort (either a different character in a different school, or continuation of the original story into college), but I won’t hold my breath.
Rockstar got so much fuck you money, they can pretty much do whatever they want in between GTA projects.
Fucking facts.
They are (still) making money from sales and chumps buying ingame currency.
The in game currency was the highest selling dlc last month.
That shark money is no joke.
Why do you think you deserve to have an advantage state after a Burst?
Combo breakers are nothing like bursts. It doesn’t use up any resources and you need to have a sharp eye to know which breaker to use. It’s easy to fuck up if you treat it like a guessing game and get a 5 second cool down for your failure. Season 3 made it easier to land manual links making it harder to land breakers successfully.
Doesn’t the fact that it’s free make it more appropriate that you don’t get an advantage state off of it?
You got hit; that’s your loss. You have the ability to escape and lessen the damage, but you shouldn’t be outright rewarded with an advantageous position for doing so. Especially if it uses no resources.
