The way Tommy's shirt flew in the wind always made me feel the wind blowing through my body while playing it. It was pretty awesome.
Ubi often uses the open world only as a backdrop, not the core of the gameplay. They just make an environment and then throw in a bunch of interchangeable activities and tasks, they don't think about how that environment can work by itself. When Rockstar makes a world, they nail every detail, every street, shop and interactive building, they think about the geography and atmosphere of the place.
Spent a long period of my life living in one place, with nothing but that game. The pause music now triggers some strange emotion when i hear it. Cant decide if it's a good feeling or not.
RDR2's weather system and sky boxes are just memorizing. I can literally just spend hours looking at the sky in the game, they are just that breath taking. It feels like every sky box is like those rare beautiful sun rises and sun sets every once and awhile.
Damn you're really missing out not having played Bully. Such a great game with incredible atmosphere. Hands down one of the best games at instantly pulling the player out of the real world and right into theirs. Definitely one of my favorite Rockstar games (that DEFINITELY deserves a sequel) and a favorite just in general gaming. HIGHLY recommend picking it up, even now it's still great.
I've played bully at least 6 times now and it has become one of the greatest games ever. I think one of the best things about it is that you can somewhat relate to it, like yeah, I've had clique in my school, I've been a complete ass to some people, yeah I've gotten into trouble with the school for doing something really stupid, but that's what made the game so intriguing, the story was even better to, and with the way rockstar excectuted it, or the way that the entire city of bullworth feels alive thanks to the fact that rockstar made story characters (students, teachers, adult, etc.) Appear in the open world so often that you say "hey there goes (character) beating up (different character). All in all hands down my favorite rockstar game ever
I played Bully just before high school and now playing it again after. I remember looking up to Jimmy, hoping that id get as much tail in a school year as him. Going back has been a very unique nostalgic experience of old video game and high school memories.
Dab Council it was really good but it was so limited due to the teen rating and I mean it was gta for younger peeps which was a dream for me. I just wish billy had been more hardcore and the main character sucked lol
Grand theft auto is one of the few games where I can leave the lore untouched the whole time and still get entertained by just interacting with the world
For me, one of the best music choices from Rockstar is Electro Choc in GTA IV: TBoGT, because they paid Crookers (that they were pretty famous at the time) to literally do a DJ-set and putting it into the game pretending that they were playing in Gay Tony's disco. They could have paid a generic DJ to create a playlist (sorry not sorry François K from GTA:IV) but no, they wanted some professionals to do a realistic DJ set in a disco. That's what I call quality.
@@notsaab I honestly don't remember, but that's a fair criticism. For some clarity on my part, he was one of the main remixers for Prelude and some of his tracks from the 80s were featured in-game as early as VC.
I hope this guy is getting some REAL A** AD money from TH-cam.. This content is damn good!! (There were no ads when playing his videos, and I felt bad...)
atmosphere atmosphere atmoshphere. I get into heated debates with my friend because he doesnt understand why GTA is so much more popular than Saints Row despite SR being more "Fun" by being faster paced and more chaotic overall. You explained it best. Rockstar knows how to layout open worlds so that players feel the urge to explore every nook and cranny while most other games, the worlds just feel like avessel for players to get from point A to point B. Also the radio stations. The music, commercials, talk shows are all so insanely accurate that it really adds to that immersion that other games just cant ever fully get down
I would absolutely love it if rockstar made a pirate game. Similar to gta and red dead but with a foundation like sea of thieves. That would be so cool
@@mohamedabdelfatah7297 Exactly. I've always wanted a non-Ubisoft Black flag (basically just a really good pirate game similar to Black flag), and I think Rockstar might be the perfect company for that.
Max Payne 3 & Red Dead Redemption has the best gun mechanics in games. Imagine that gun mechanic in GTA V though, GTA V would've been ten times better if it had that.
John Marston what I loved about Max Payne 3 was the fact that people would still attempt to crawl away after being shot, ye they're technically "dead" but just seeing them cling on to life is what really makes the game feel alive and believable, it happens in GTA V too where cops will sometimes drag their buddies off to cover or pulling out a pistol on you but it just didn't feel the same
@@bloodybehelit5356 tbh rockstar have been making linear missions in an open world game since the 3d gta games, in those games due to lesser developers and lesser polish and quality standards, there were some possibilities of having a different approach for missions, but it was only for some missions, most of them are still linear, especially since gta sa and newer
It had a lot of songs from Scarface's soundtrack, it's awesome, my favourite gta's are 3 and vice city, my childhood was spent in roaming those streets and I know the maps like the back of my hand
GTA IV created the best open world experience. Each “borough” has its own vibe, and the landmarks make it soooo easy to navigate but it really is a massive map when you think about it. Such an ill game
Another detail that I love in Rockstar games is the NPC dialogue from place to place. Different people saying random things, being eccentric, having conversations, speaking with different accents- that all adds character to their games.
The fact that jakey called gta v super crime 5 because his buddy told his parents in middle school that they were playing super crime not gta makes me so happy
That's why I love GTA IV so much, Rockstar built a tangible world that felt alive and real, bill boards and and signs shone at night, pedestrians moved realistically and looked different from each other, the lighting was on point with it orange hues near the park, and greenish blue near the coast. You had a phone that you could use at anytime, you could enter buildings just by pushing the door with no load screens. At night, city lights reflected on the water. Yes the map is smaller than GTA SA but it feels bigger and denser than it's predecessors. There's just something about Liberty City, maybe it's the weather, or possibly the tall skyscrapers.
Man he barely mentioned San Andreas! The radio stations in that game were phenomenal. Radio Los Santos played a huge part in shaping my music taste as a kid, I still listen to many of the tracks from that game.
I never really thought about how unique Rockstar's open worlds are until I saw this. Really thinking about picking up Vice city to get lost in the 80's. Seriously great job man! Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
UPDATE: I changed the title of this video from "Master of the Open World" to "Making an Open World", because I talk more about the setting/atmosphere of the games more than the actual gameplay/mechanics/etc. While Rockstar is the "Master" at creating a world, they aren't the master of creating an open world GAME. Just letting ya'll know. Also Breath of the Wild is a brilliant example of what a truly open world game is capable of, and I'm excited to share my thoughts on that. But these two things aren't related at all. Nope. Not a bit. Love you.
Not to mention that the entirety of the Scarface soundtrack is in GTA 3. I also love how Rockstar open worlds open up as you play through the story creating variety in the locale
Bruh, the video just explained how detailed these games are. Do you think making a game like GTA VI takes 3-4 years (considering RDR2 was finished in 2018)?
I figured it out. You remind me of a really smart version Chris Pratt's character from Parks and Rec when you're doing your essay points, and then just Andy Dwyer when you're goofing it up.
The silver lining of the epic fail that is Cyberpunk 2077 is that it's given us a chance to really appreciate Rockstar's brilliance when it comes to world building. I will never take it for granted especially after getting caught in the CP hype train. Thank you for highlighting the immense amount of thought and work that goes into making a world feel immersive and seemless.
Thanks for making this video. I have always been a big fan of Rockstar's open-world games, and I have found great appreciation for how they nail their atmospheric settings using these intricate details you have mentioned. I also found that they often use the colour palettes, soundtracks, and city locations to reflect the protagonist's goals, characteristics, and lifestyles. They often try to give the player a perspective on how the character might feel about being in this environment. (For example, Niko's perspective of Liberty City seems dull, dangerous, and alien, but it also reflects this sense of hope and opportunity. Luis Lopez, on the other hand, seems to have a very different outlook on the same city; it looks much more vibrant, welcoming, and colourful.) It's great to see that there are other fans who also appreciate that there is more to these universes than just the average open-world trademarks.
I am disappointed with gta v for some reason i am not connected with that world yes the characters and story is good but short even gta iv which for me is the worst gta ever did better job than gta v
Not to shit on IV, V, and the ps2 era classics but I always felt like the Red Dead Redemption world was way more alive than the rest. I wouldn't say it's my favorite, but when you were just roaming around you ran into a lot of different situations like bandits baiting you with a lady and setting you up in the middle of a road, sheriffs chasing criminals, public hangings of criminals, people getting attacked by animals, and huge etcetera, that weren't even sidequests (don't get me started on the bounties, hunting legendary animals, pumas, bears...) and even though I loved GTA V, I felt disappointed that they reduced all these encounters to ''hey you! some dude robbed me! go chase him!'' that didn't even happen that often.
@@matheussousa4392 ive 100% san andreas 5 times already. Best game for me since it had so many stuff to do, and the cheat codes extended its replay value by like 50 hours more lol
Watching this after your rdr2 video and I must say, while you made alot of very good and true points about rdr2, you made your best argument here. Its just fun to exist in the world. And rdr2 does that to perfection. It has flaws but its the most beautiful landscape ever created for any game. Rain, fog, shadows, night and morning light. Its amazing. Man I really want a video where you just talk about the things you love about rdr2

To Niko, let us play a fun activity such as a sport or game known as bowling, we shall roll a heavy circular item in to a particular amount of wooden pillars with a circular top, as the ball rolls towards the wooden pillars with circular tops who ever shall knock over the most amount shall get more points, if you knock over all the wooden pillars with circular tops, that we will refer to as, “pins” you shall score a, “strike” this shall score you the most points, if you fail to knock over all pins you will be allowed to throw the heavy circular item that we will refer to as a, “bowling balll” again To do this a machine resembling mini train tracks to bowling ball back to you, you may now throw again but it will not score as much as a, “strike”, so Niko shall we participate in, “bowling?”
I ve played gta cw, gta vcs and gta lcs. I loved all of them, but something in the vcs made me replay it a thousand times. The music, the sounds, the story, the map...
I watched this video a while back, with a newfound curiosity for Rockstar Games. It led me to buying Red Dead Redemption. It also didn't occur to me that L.A Noire, my 1# game on my wishlist, was made by this genius developer. It's safe to say I'm hooked.
this comment is not specific to this particular video but since it was the latest i figured to put it here- man, Jakey, i watch A LOT of gaming channels and videos- i work in an office with 2 screens that on one of them there's always some youtube in the background so like 9 hours a day of youtube gaming shit- and i just wanted to tell u that you're definitely one of the best if not the best i've seen in a long long time, man u crack me the fuck up with every "godamn" and "hotboyz" thrown in there and it is shown through your content how connected and care about videogames and certain aspects of it i didn't see a lot of people talk about (box art, and music the kinda way u do it) you're channle deserve to be BIG AF with shitload of millions of subscribers and the fact that ur doing it for only a year just assures that u can get like biggdy- big keep jizzing does rap reviews they're the best, can watch them all day and DOG BLESS
It was on GTA IV's The Journey radio station and often played when you went to internet cafes. Absolutely perfect placing. GTA V had some Windowlicker and IZ US.
Ya but I mean he mentioned other Rockstar games that have even less of an open world, things like Bully, and he even mentioned Mafia as an example of a bad open world game. Idk, I think he may have completely forgot about L.A Noir
What was said in this video that isn't true about their later games? This video is about how rich feeling the worlds of Rockstar games are. Red Dead Redemption 2's mission structure is incredibly flawed and restrictive. But the world of that game, the music, the overall hud layout are still some of the best in triple A gaming.
@@Solarstar10 dude, go start a beef somewhere else . I'm just deeply disappointed that I have to look at what's new in GTA or RDR2, because it gets prompted right into my face when I boot it up. RDR Online Content sure lacks a polish in some corners and GTAs Economy is completely busted. Just a weird choice for them when you look back and see that they once relied on bringing a virtual World to life to now just bump out random online DLCs.
@@Solarstar10 couldn't just let it go? You heard about the patents rockstar has filed? Get ready for some forced GTA 6 online connectivity my friend. I agree that they had some great world and story building, but when it comes to online they are just beating a dead horse cuz it's easier than improving.
It's not filled with micro-transactions. Shark cards are are there for idiots that are too lazy to play the game to earn what they want. There isn't anything in the game that you can't buy with in-game money. Free DLC's for a game that's over 3 years old #Justrockstarthings
oxyKILLdone And then there's your type, who has all the time in the world to grind the game. Most of us just play online for a fun experience with our friends. Grinding takes away the fun most of the time.
I don't have all the time in the world for grindfest games, in fact, I barely even play GTAO, I just play smart when I do. R* consistently holds events where you can earn double money or have sales on things, also certain missions have good payouts. If everyone could get everything they wanted right away, we'd have nothing but assholes running around in tanks, making the game pointless (It's already bad enough most of the time). I understand where you're you're coming from about the grinding, but you don't have to grind to have fun in GTAO, just play the game and the money'll add up faster than you think. My main point is that for a company as big as R*, releasing free DLC's is rarity that they should be commended for, especially releasing new content for a game of this age. They shouldn't be looked down on because they know some people are impatient and will pay real cash for in-game currency, R*'s a business after all. It's also not their fault that some people simply don't have time to play it.
Remember getting one of the best houses in vice city and when i had 5 stars i'd went to the balcony and for some reason every police officer, car or even helicopter wouldn't get me.

Man he barely mentioned San Andreas! The radio stations in that game were phenomenal. Radio Los Santos played a huge part in shaping my music taste as a kid, I still listen to many of the tracks from that game.
Some songs I hear on the radio, I litterly only know cause San Andrea's, such cool radio
8:11 That song hit me with nostalgia like no other. Man, I love GTA4
Casssin!!!!
It was Aphex Twin!
Track name?
I have to add to the music factor. GTA 5s soundtrack is alright, but they are still updating it 4 years later. They just added a new station.
Preston Taylor didn’t they add more songs to ?
"Still updating it 4 years later" its been 5 years but also all they did was add one station. One time.
I swear If I hear in the life of a Mack one more time
@@timfields2446 I swear if I hear Ambitionz as a rider another time I'm gonna explode.
I want it that way
Almost cried at 5:39 ... God I love and miss that music.. the nostalgia is real with gta 4
Bob Dabuilder what's the name of the song?
Don Master TH-cam: "ballad of gay tony pause music"
Don Master self control- laura branigan
Just realized I've been trying to land on horses in games for a decade to see if it'll work because of Red Dead.
4:26 really shows off how well GTA 3 stacks up against Rockstars other games. So much effort early on. Great video.
I never really thought about how unique Rockstar's open worlds are until I saw this. Really thinking about picking up Vice city to get lost in the 80's. Seriously great job man! Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
Yeah, I would still play that over other modern games. I remember parking my car just before doing mission objectives so I could hear the full song.
BuzzerBee fuck parking I would just cruise around slowly and then after song finish then I go handle my business
i love your videos
Artzie Music I love your music
Ayyyy
What! You are here? Damn dude love dat music.
lol hi artzie
You any familiar with this, Artzie?
holy shit, you can feel the passion coming through from the monitor
Uh oh, looks like jakey is gonna get a surprise audit from the IRS
GTA IV is also my fav, amazing story!

Looks like I’m gonna go unsub from superbunnyhop.
I've played GTAs so much that if you leave me alone in those cities, I'll visit anywhere without asking anyone
4:33 That San Andreas orange glow makes me immeasurably happy
UPDATE: I changed the title of this video from "Master of the Open World" to "Making an Open World", because I talk more about the setting/atmosphere of the games more than the actual gameplay/mechanics/etc. While Rockstar is the "Master" at creating a world, they aren't the master of creating an open world GAME. Just letting ya'll know. Also Breath of the Wild is a brilliant example of what a truly open world game is capable of, and I'm excited to share my thoughts on that. But these two things aren't related at all. Nope. Not a bit. Love you.
love ya
Nakey Jizz please make vidya on San Andreas 🥺🙏
Not to mention that the entirety of the Scarface soundtrack is in GTA 3. I also love how Rockstar open worlds open up as you play through the story creating variety in the locale
Also Rockstar: releases GTA V for PS5...
Bruh, the video just explained how detailed these games are. Do you think making a game like GTA VI takes 3-4 years (considering RDR2 was finished in 2018)?
Anyone always feels nostalgic whenever GTA Vice city arrives.
I figured it out. You remind me of a really smart version Chris Pratt's character from Parks and Rec when you're doing your essay points, and then just Andy Dwyer when you're goofing it up.
You're name is now Timmy vermicelli in my books
lemur sven yes
lemur sven Tammy Mostecolli
lemur sven driver Easter egg
Driv3r!!
can't help but notice that Rockstar used the song Jakey used at the begining of the video for the Trilogy Remaster trailer
Haha yeah
they had already used it in previous trailers when the game originally came out
The silver lining of the epic fail that is Cyberpunk 2077 is that it's given us a chance to really appreciate Rockstar's brilliance when it comes to world building. I will never take it for granted especially after getting caught in the CP hype train. Thank you for highlighting the immense amount of thought and work that goes into making a world feel immersive and seemless.
Thanks for making this video. I have always been a big fan of Rockstar's open-world games, and I have found great appreciation for how they nail their atmospheric settings using these intricate details you have mentioned. I also found that they often use the colour palettes, soundtracks, and city locations to reflect the protagonist's goals, characteristics, and lifestyles. They often try to give the player a perspective on how the character might feel about being in this environment. (For example, Niko's perspective of Liberty City seems dull, dangerous, and alien, but it also reflects this sense of hope and opportunity. Luis Lopez, on the other hand, seems to have a very different outlook on the same city; it looks much more vibrant, welcoming, and colourful.)
It's great to see that there are other fans who also appreciate that there is more to these universes than just the average open-world trademarks.
I am disappointed with gta v for some reason i am not connected with that world yes the characters and story is good but short even gta iv which for me is the worst gta ever did better job than gta v
Not to shit on IV, V, and the ps2 era classics but I always felt like the Red Dead Redemption world was way more alive than the rest. I wouldn't say it's my favorite, but when you were just roaming around you ran into a lot of different situations like bandits baiting you with a lady and setting you up in the middle of a road, sheriffs chasing criminals, public hangings of criminals, people getting attacked by animals, and huge etcetera, that weren't even sidequests (don't get me started on the bounties, hunting legendary animals, pumas, bears...) and even though I loved GTA V, I felt disappointed that they reduced all these encounters to ''hey you! some dude robbed me! go chase him!'' that didn't even happen that often.
In Grand auto theft V i saved a barber from being robbed
@@matheussousa4392 ive 100% san andreas 5 times already. Best game for me since it had so many stuff to do, and the cheat codes extended its replay value by like 50 hours more lol
actually, GTA V has a lot of that too, it's just more scarce, kinda like it would be in real world.
Well one of the ways rockstar pulled off the realism was turning down the events. Unlike the wild West where everything is crime
Also let's not forget the Yakuza series as well they're a MASTAPIECE! 👌😩
Watching this after your rdr2 video and I must say, while you made alot of very good and true points about rdr2, you made your best argument here. Its just fun to exist in the world. And rdr2 does that to perfection. It has flaws but its the most beautiful landscape ever created for any game. Rain, fog, shadows, night and morning light. Its amazing. Man I really want a video where you just talk about the things you love about rdr2
Anybody noticed that on GTAV if you leave your Car door Open and Nobody is in it the Car starts Beeping to indicate that the car door is open, One of the reasons why i love GTAV
The intro brings tears to my eyes.
To Niko, let us play a fun activity such as a sport or game known as bowling, we shall roll a heavy circular item in to a particular amount of wooden pillars with a circular top, as the ball rolls towards the wooden pillars with circular tops who ever shall knock over the most amount shall get more points, if you knock over all the wooden pillars with circular tops, that we will refer to as, “pins” you shall score a, “strike” this shall score you the most points, if you fail to knock over all pins you will be allowed to throw the heavy circular item that we will refer to as a, “bowling balll” again To do this a machine resembling mini train tracks to bowling ball back to you, you may now throw again but it will not score as much as a, “strike”, so Niko shall we participate in, “bowling?”
Yas I know what bowling is Roman you fat fuck!!!
**immediatly hangs up phone**
Or just playing swingset
Then we have definitive edition that throw everything out of window.
I ve played gta cw, gta vcs and gta lcs. I loved all of them, but something in the vcs made me replay it a thousand times. The music, the sounds, the story, the map...
LCS is good too
Johnny commits tax fraud
Fuck the taxes

it was banned in few countries right... GTA deserves to be all over this video
@SpyWhale lmfao i love bully but no it is fucking not
GenericWhiteMale yes it is moron
@@amarson2322 no it isn't
Were yall listening or?
I watched this video a while back, with a newfound curiosity for Rockstar Games. It led me to buying Red Dead Redemption. It also didn't occur to me that L.A Noire, my 1# game on my wishlist, was made by this genius developer. It's safe to say I'm hooked.
You a little late kid
@@curiousmind_ better late than ever :))))
@@deburrito6882 better ever than late :))))
You forgot to include music credits on this one.
Yeah, I’m pretty disappointed. I wanted to find out who sang O Mio Babbino Caro
Or thumbnail credits because I want to see the uncensored version
Just look up the menu music for gta IV: the ballad of gay tony. That shit bangs
Aphex Twin's on here!
this comment is not specific to this particular video but since it was the latest i figured to put it here-
man, Jakey, i watch A LOT of gaming channels and videos- i work in an office with 2 screens that on one of them there's always some youtube in the background so like 9 hours a day of youtube gaming shit- and i just wanted to tell u that you're definitely one of the best if not the best i've seen in a long long time, man u crack me the fuck up with every "godamn" and "hotboyz" thrown in there and it is shown through your content how connected and care about videogames and certain aspects of it i didn't see a lot of people talk about (box art, and music the kinda way u do it)
you're channle deserve to be BIG AF with shitload of millions of subscribers and the fact that ur doing it for only a year just assures that u can get like biggdy- big
keep jizzing does rap reviews they're the best, can watch them all day and DOG BLESS
thanks chicken you're too sweet
thanks man!
this guy is tight as shit tho
John Tanner lol this comment was cringy
SackOfGypsies 2018 and still using autistic as a insult? 🤔
green bleach 2018 and still thinking bleach jokes are funny? 🤔
SackOfGypsies lol nah ive had this account for a while when bleach jokes were a thing but ive had it so long i dont want to change it
SackOfGypsies lol you getting mad is funny
10:09 oh he certainly did…
8:13 IS THAT APHEX TWIN PLAYING ON THE BACKGROUND OMG
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING! I FLIPPED OUT
It was on GTA IV's The Journey radio station and often played when you went to internet cafes. Absolutely perfect placing.
GTA V had some Windowlicker and IZ US.
#justrockstarthings
Don't forget about the euphoria physics in the newer titles. That's almost a sell point by itself, great video! #justrockstarthings
The atmosphere of rainy Chicago from Watch Dogs. As good as GTA
He predicted GTA The Defective Edition's trailer music 4 years ago.
"mom get the camera, video games are tight as fuck!" had me in tears
Still waiting for that Red Dead Redemption video.

It has been granted

San Andreas was wayyyy more realistic than GTA5
I miss the Workout Gym
Off-topic, but damn your choice of music is great.
Play bully, its probably the most alive feeling Rockstar game.
Hey man! No love for L.A Noir?!
Mah mans gotta point Jakey
Ya but I mean he mentioned other Rockstar games that have even less of an open world, things like Bully, and he even mentioned Mafia as an example of a bad open world game. Idk, I think he may have completely forgot about L.A Noir
Team Bondi developed that game - not Rockstar.
I wouldn't consider Bully less of an open world game, just a different style...
Lazer Man hunt not open world dumbass.
Rockstar should watch this video to remind themselves of who they once were
What was said in this video that isn't true about their later games? This video is about how rich feeling the worlds of Rockstar games are. Red Dead Redemption 2's mission structure is incredibly flawed and restrictive. But the world of that game, the music, the overall hud layout are still some of the best in triple A gaming.
@@Solarstar10 dude, go start a beef somewhere else . I'm just deeply disappointed that I have to look at what's new in GTA or RDR2, because it gets prompted right into my face when I boot it up. RDR Online Content sure lacks a polish in some corners and GTAs Economy is completely busted. Just a weird choice for them when you look back and see that they once relied on bringing a virtual World to life to now just bump out random online DLCs.
@@s0r480 If you don't want people replying to you, maybe don't make a comment on a public platform.
@@Solarstar10 couldn't just let it go? You heard about the patents rockstar has filed? Get ready for some forced GTA 6 online connectivity my friend.
I agree that they had some great world and story building, but when it comes to online they are just beating a dead horse cuz it's easier than improving.
@@Solarstar10 he was talking about rockstar "open world" not mission design 🤦♂️
It's funny how gta online throws more than half of this shit straight outta the window lmao
Im pretty damn arroused by the level of quality in this video
Gta 5 HAS ROUNDABOUT ON THE ROCK RADIO DUDEEEEE
In rdr2 when here is fog it makes everything a lot more creepy and I love it
I used to play San Andreas for hours without killing anyone lol. I would steal a bike and work on manuals and grinds. Grove St represent.

*Filling gta online with microtransactions* #Justrockstarthings
It's not filled with micro-transactions. Shark cards are are there for idiots that are too lazy to play the game to earn what they want. There isn't anything in the game that you can't buy with in-game money. Free DLC's for a game that's over 3 years old #Justrockstarthings
oxyKILLdone And then there's your type, who has all the time in the world to grind the game. Most of us just play online for a fun experience with our friends. Grinding takes away the fun most of the time.
I don't have all the time in the world for grindfest games, in fact, I barely even play GTAO, I just play smart when I do. R* consistently holds events where you can earn double money or have sales on things, also certain missions have good payouts. If everyone could get everything they wanted right away, we'd have nothing but assholes running around in tanks, making the game pointless (It's already bad enough most of the time). I understand where you're you're coming from about the grinding, but you don't have to grind to have fun in GTAO, just play the game and the money'll add up faster than you think. My main point is that for a company as big as R*, releasing free DLC's is rarity that they should be commended for, especially releasing new content for a game of this age. They shouldn't be looked down on because they know some people are impatient and will pay real cash for in-game currency, R*'s a business after all. It's also not their fault that some people simply don't have time to play it.
TiNyBiRd it's not even hard to make money
You know that's why we get new content right?
Remember getting one of the best houses in vice city and when i had 5 stars i'd went to the balcony and for some reason every police officer, car or even helicopter wouldn't get me.
Take a shot every time Jake says the word "perfectly"
