How Rockstar Ruined Their Reputation

How Rockstar Ruined Their Reputation / Why No One Respects Rockstar (Anymore)
Once upon a time Rockstar used to be the most respected and admired developer. However through the last few years, their actions have turned them into one of the industry's most despised. So the
question has to be asked. Why Does Everyone Hate Rockstar Games?
A deep dive into Rockstar's shady practices, from their lack of communication with players, to their inability to protect them from modders. As well as their embarrassing remake of The GTA Trilogy and ruination of GTA Online, with abandonment of Red Dead Online. Finishing off with their greedy new subscription service GTA Plus and what it means for the future of GTA 6 and it's online mode.

Of course. GTA is like COD. Its the basic game that everyone likes Even if is bad people will still play and buy it. People are still playing gta online despite it being a incompetently designed grind fest of a slog designed to make you spend as much money as possible. I Will stick to my guns. Cause I already know how gta 6 is gonna go when it comes out next year. I don't care how detailed or good it is. Most gamers may forget everything rockstar has done for the past decade. but I wont and I hope you guys can too. They have alot to do, to amend everything they have done and they have shown zero sign of doing that.

[@nobodyfamousX]

@@gimmeyourrights8292 maybe, but it would have to be a pretty big fumble before that happens. Every game rockstar has directly worked on themselves so far has been fun as hell. The definitive edition doesn't really count because either rockstar or take two gave that to another studio so they didn't actually do the work. I like their strategy of taking several years to develop one great game, instead of being like Ubisoft or most of the other big studios who try to shit out a half baked game every year. If every big name studio used the rockstar strategy they would have more time to actually fill the massive open worlds they keep trying to make and it would make people more likely to spend time in their game because it has more to do, and we know it won't just be replaced next year. Either way I'm still not preordering because that's a foolish move. I'll wait until I can see some real gameplay.

I'm glad I'm finally seeing someone being realistic about this.

I probably will pass up GTA 6 because I don't really enjoy GTA 5 as is, story mode and online included. Hopefully it'll be good, the gaming community and Rockstar themselves need it. It's also infuriating how everyone keeps defending them saying it's Take Two not Rockstar, both need to be held accountable Rockstar are just as complacent.

[@jurassicarkjordanisgreat1778]

I am not gonna bother with gta 6. I don't care how advanced it is. Most of gta online is just cut single player DLCs content. All of it was. Doomsday heist was supposed to be a Trevor agency DLC, Arena wars was a zombie DLC at one point. The hunter attack helicopter was in the games files since launch and it took them till 2017 to finally add it. They have been playing us all like a fiddle. they take a few months to work on a DLC and than arbitrarily drip feed to milk as much money as possible from people. Everything about gta online is designed to make you want to buy shark cards. Everything is designed to be bad on purpose and doesn't get fixed till years later. They have made so many updates to make gta online completely unfun to play and they have constantly treated the player base poorly. Lets not forget how poorly they treated Red dead online or the countless of franchises they left to rot. The last decade of rockstar games has been so disrespectful to the fans and proven they are shells of their former selves. They used to be the awesome company that cared about making well crafted games and sticking to their guns about the content in their games and telling political activists to screw off when they complained about the games. Now they bend the knee those those people. Jack Thompson won in the end and I hate to admit that. I doubt gta 6 is gonna have the same love or care put in as past games and it pains me to say that. I am gonna bet they will find some way to put shark cards in the single player or some way to do it in gta online. Because modern rockstar have proven all they care about is milking as much cash as possible from their players and treating us all like they we don't know any better.

[@lm9029]

Agree but look on the bright side. At least RDR2 players werent forced with 20gb updates that added lore breaking, flying horses with missiles. For me the killing blow to my respect for R* was how they disrespected their legacy. How they didn't just allow the Defective Edition but decided to replace some of their best games with it. If they cant be bothered to preserve and care about the games and fans that made them the giant they are today then why should we expect GTA 6 to be a masterpiece? Even in that case i doubt they still have the edge, talent, passion and humour with how many OG's that has been fired or quitted.

@@lm9029 Yeah I completely agree with everything you said, you took the words right out of my mouth. I am glad you pointed out the lore breaking gta online does. That's another reason I forgot to mention. Online screwed up so much of the lore from gta 4 to 5. How can you expect anyone to be invested in gta 6s story when there are flying broomsticks and futuristic doomsdays in the story. Gta san Andera's at least was subtle about those things and made them work within the universe. Also I did forget to mention the nerfs rockstar put onto gta onlines fun and well paying activity.

The game SOOOO BORING! Then when there is action? It's just a VERY basic 3rd person shooter with a slow mo feature that's been around since Max Payne one came out in early 2000's. If I wanted to watch a cowboy movie I'd throw on Westworld, I want to play a game.

An important thing to add to the cayo perico heist nerfs. It was the first heist that was doable as a solo player. A lot of players asked for such a way to earn money, because everyone knows how horrible the experience is with random players that just always mess up a mission/heist. So the nerfs were just a punch in the face of players, who took the time and effort to grind this heist solo. I played this heist a lot. And the comparison between release and the nowadays state is shocking. And that's not even it. They also included a new system for the guards. After you steal the main target, a bunch of new guards spawn in. And they are able to see dead bodies, even if they respawn. So you can't just eliminate all guards in hitman-style, you actively have to avoid them which is horrible given the clunky movement of gta. Not to mention the keycards you need to open El Rubios hidden stashes, which only drop randomly after you take out a certain guard. The heist is probably still the most reliant way for a solo player to make money, but it's a shell of its former self.

When I say I'm excited for gta 6 I mean the story mode. After all the shit rockstar is pulling I can already tell gta 6 online is about to be a complete pay to win shit show.

[@FunniMafaka]

I hope they don't release any sort of VI online and they only add updates to their story mode

[@Ananonymousguy-nk9oj]

Also remember the dripfeed on GTAO, previously it was bearable as most of the content was released on day 1 and what was left on the dripfeed usually was around half of the vehicles wich they started releasing at a rate of 1 vehicle per week but a while ago they've changed that... Now only about half of the update was released on day 1 as they dripfed missions, random events, weapons, etc. as well as more than half of the vehicles, releasing them at a rate of about 1 vehicle per 2 weeks wich overall would extend the dripfeed for several months

[@MELODE_TH]

I'm still hot that they abandoned rdr2 most likely cause they couldn't think of more ways to milk the players of more money, and just to focus on gta5 which in my personal opinion was just plain boring.

[@racingraptor4758]

If they tried to milk rd2 online as much as GTA some random kids flying on rocket powered horses burping plasma and farting landmines would be a common sight on the plains of wild west...

The last game I gave Take2/Rockstar Money for was Max Payne 3....The year it released. I am very grateful for that experience, and that's that. GTA5 and RDR2 didn't get a single penny from me, so GTA6 is going to follow suit. It isn't even the same company that wowed me, when MP3 came out anymore. World is full of games to play, and I'm happy with GTA4 being my last GTA experience.

[@RandomHuman1103]

Funny,but i only gave 10$ for complete ed,rest was from the 7 seas(if you know what i mean) and everything thats "coming soon" will also come from mr.Jack Sparrow😂

[@ZombiAstral]

@@RandomHuman1103 LMAO I get where you're coming from. I have nothing against piracy tbh. Hell I'm in full support of the necessary evil. But out of sheer personal principle and spite; Fuck Take2. They're one of the few companies that won't see my time and money. I can't even be bothered to pirate their dogshit slop. Take2, EA, Ubisoft and possibly Square Enix are companies I despise with a passion.

Rockstar is the company that makes horse balls shrink on cold weather and pupils retract when facing a direct source of light but reuses Arthur Morgan's body and hair styles for John Marston.

[@ledzep1023]

I’ll never forget how Rockstar treated Red Dead Online. It had the potential to be a western GTA Online with really cool heists, fleshed out roles, etc. but they just completely dropped it after a couple of years even though RDRII was a smash hit for them. They truly never planned to upkeep and nurture Red Dead Online and go straight back to the GTA Online cash cow

[@bat4886]

whats the background music?

[@Alazytitan]

Did you delete the freelancer vid?

[@GreatFox42]

Honestly, I don't even have hype for GTA6. Most of the people responsible for making GTA what it is, the soul of the franchise, have long since exited. I mean the mere fact that we're going back to Vice City, after said soul personnel stated they saw no point in going back there without the 80s flair since it would not be that different from Los Santos, is proof enough for me that even the single player aspect will be undercooked.

[@kkgiiii]

Hey wildgold 1 question when is you're birthday

[@patrikmatousek5450]

In GTAO you still can buy the removed vehicles but only in the stores around the map where are few that change every week

Just to clarify the reset goes back to full price after 18hrs which most players don’t relaize

Just wait until GTA 6 comes out and everyone magically forgets everything wrong rockstar did so far..... Until they do it again with GTA 6 online.

[@RomanZ-zy1ef]

That's a fact COCKSTAR can deceive the new generation of Fucktwats but they can't deceive classic gamers like us.

[@pickelma]

Let's just ignore all the good games they have put out and just focus on one game and two online modes

[@08DJTUNING]

Ubisoft is even worse (they took away The Crew 1 and don't care about players)

[@TheAlyeid]

Either way; you’re right about everything 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@That_Honda_Civic]

8:33 the sell price effected nobody and was made to get rid of car dupe glitches, the first payphone nerf didn't make it horrible but more balanced considering 85K for an easy 5 mins or less mission with no cooldown is nuts and the second was a buff since they removed the cooldowns of it entirely. 9:17 it went from 48 mins to 2 hours not 10 to 2 hours the original 10 mins was crazy op, though i do think the nerf of giving you damn near no chance to get coke solo and main target nerf was very bad. also i constantly see R* adding community made outfits to rdo 11:04 the last 2 updates have been some of the best updates yet aswell as some insane new money making methods for noobs. and what you said about gta plus and 6 was perfect

[@buttons6812]

You are dead on accurate about one fact. I have played all rockstar games. I look forward to play gta 6. But I would only play the online mode for the trophies.

[@haarisajmeri9811]

especially their old titles they don't treat them respectfully the biggest example is GTA 4 and RDR 1

[@DigitalPand3mic]

They even find ways to fuck around on console, mod menu actions such as teleporting to ANY part of the map, permanent off radar, having the ability to locate anyone while in ghost, and lock onto vehicles using missile jammers isnt part of the game.....

[@user-vb1bs8le3g]

they also removed the old games and ditched them

[@RomanZ-zy1ef]

And now they made a Defective Shitty Tragedy and are milking the shitty gta online they forgot about their old games like they never existed but i still play the old games and will never EVER play new shitty games that have extreme graphics but lame storylines.

Those online lobbies are full of modders and hackers making the experience literally unplayable, but if you want to create a private modded server so you can actually play the game with friends without being messed with, or want to play on an RP server, you get you account banned for "modding" almost immediately.

[@economicalgamer8187]

I will never forgive them for removing the Classic triology just for them to publish an enferior version of them.

[@BritishRail60062]

This sadly happens with most companies that get too big. I have never been interested in online multiplayer. Too many idiots and trolls ruining the experience in my opinion. I prefer to play against the AI.

[@DylanBeaudry]

8:26. They simply removed these from purchase, not acquisition. Same problem though.

[@LittleNinjaXYBA]

How does a company that’s main focus is to sell GTA5 neglect it as well

[@commandervile394]

Diggin the whole super villain look, chief. But yeah, even the people that hate Rockstar will continue to eat their products up....most gamers are casual normies that don't really care about corporate greed, corruption and or microtransactions being prioritized. All they know how to do is consume product and ask for more.

[@Jivyachi]

Now? We have hated them for years

[@jpeckdraws3932]

Good video though 👍

[@YSL8704]

I don't think that people really GET what Rockstar is... They're a COMPANY, and companies will always do what's on their best interest, and I think the only thing I kinda hate them for was them just straight up abandoning my favorite game of all time because the Online doesn't make 10 million an hour. And also, I don't actually hate them, no, not at all, but I think that part of that reason is the definitive trilogy being developed by a subsidiary not even called Rockstar, and also because I don't play online games, and really, REALLY do not care about online games, even when I have the ability to play an online game, I don't.

[@itzlippy2967]

They fixed the stable glitch I’m pretty sure the other ones too

[@Gimbez]

Remember to bully everyone who buys rockstar games

[@Diamond-ji2gv]

Things Rockstar did wrong: - Nerfed the lazer for no reason - There is no an easy way out. Terrible since if you're stuck in the middle of nowhere, you have to walk a lot. - Removing cars - Car upgrades not being released in PC - Updating the policy of the game by saying no griefing anymore while the game encourages you to do it - Buying FiveM - Again, updating FiveM policy by saying no griefing anymore and changing things - GTA Definitive Edition being released - Ignoring the community - Adding an Oppressor so op - Payouts are not balanced with heists - Not updating old heists, plus 4 player being a requirement is still sad. Though, it's fine as it is - PS4 and Xbox one users not having further dlc or updates - Not updating GTA 4 and leaving it as a terrible game. Of course, our dear modders doing the hard work - Bully, really, Rockstar? That thing is way worse than DMC 3 Special Edition from the Ubisoft Port - Removing the original games from the store - RDR Online having no updates and if so, only cosmetics for cash grab - Again, terrible port for PC - Banning innocent people for no reason and cheaters still get away with it - GTA Online feels pay-to-fast - Removing DLCS FROM THE CAMPAIGN, SO THE ONLINE GETS THE CONTENT. If only both got the dlcs :( And there is still more, but I cannot think of more

[@RandomHuman1103]

Biggest and worst thing for me is that they are "working"(for 10+ years) on GTA 6(notice how i use " ") and only when someone leaked some test footage do they start really working and showing progress

[@Diamond-ji2gv]

@RandomHuman1103 i mean, they have been working on gta 6 since gta 5 got released. However, the full team didn't work on it until they finished rdr 2. Of course, as they update the engine, so do they with their games. The only thing that they do wrong is how they prioritise online services over games. I still think online games such as cod won't hold up for too long unless they remove cheaters. PVE is the way to go in all games IMO since you do not need people to play with, no online services unless playing with friends, you own a game, you can mod it, and most importantly no cheaters can interfere. However, money is money and its way better for them to sell online rather than PVE games

[@RandomHuman1103]

@@Diamond-ji2gv Ok you msinly focus on online(and thats ok).But lets do some math for a moment,from 2001 to 2005 much smaller R* made around 10 good/great games,than from 2006 to 2009 they made few games+2 big DLCs and 4 years later they made a massive and complex game(Gta5)...But since 2014 they are "working" on a complex game that still isn't finished and they only made one more game+trashy trilogy...Like come one,team is much bigger and so is the budget,but somehow gta 6 is "too big and complex"😆

[@Diamond-ji2gv]

@RandomHuman1103 leaning gta definitive edition aside, mainly because rockstar didn't do it, games are very complicated and the engineering behind it is top tier. Imagine creating animations for each character depending on the personality and feelings. That's tremendously complicated and doesn't take 1 month to finish it. I won't say GTA 6 was always the main target because RDR 2 was first and then the online, but I do believe 20% of the workers from Rockstar were developing gta 6 while also finishing RDR 2. Remember that nowadays games are very complicated and rockstars' standards are very high for single-player games. Lastly, I think they are making a over complicated game, so then, the industry has to adapt to gta 6's standards and on top of that, giving them some time to get more creative. I still miss old rockstar tho with their jokes and memes. Indie developers are the ones that will make the best games from year to year whereas rockstar will make timeless games.

You are right,but if those good sp games will take 10(or more) fucking years to release than screw that😂

[@nekipeh7373]

They should have released Definitive Editions separetly over the years instead of big project, which failed big time (like Anniversary editions). Back in the day, i bought GTA III 10th anniversary for PC because its my favorite GTA, and it was well done actually: better textures and models, HQ sound, shading, small detail were added or updated, some bugs removed, it was a true remaster for a decade old game; so i bought one for mobile too and have beed playing it every few often. Unfortunately, i cant run it on my new phone now, so i got Definitive Edition because it is avaliable: and man, it is something: ugly, laggy, vant change graphics except for few minor things (this could be because of phone), draw distance is pretty close; overall worse than anniversary edition, which is a shame. Im not angry, just fucking dissapointed... Simple and well done video. Cheers dude
