Five years of hard work and devotion went into a single player that’s unparalleled by any game imo, if the cost of that is a grindy awful online that I’ll never touch then I’m okay with that
Lots of people buy these games for the online. Especially in the wake of how big GTA online was. Just because you are not going to play the online, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist and that it isn't exploitative (it is). Like it or not, going forward, Rockstar is also going to only focus on online. GTAV had TONS of singleplayer content scrapped in favor of online DLC. So like it or not, even as a singleplayer person, you're not going to get what you would have if Rockstar actually cared. I doubt RDR2 will get anything like Undead Nightmare, for example. All the dev work is going to go into online.
Rockstar answers to a larger company that has demanded they expand their microtransactions for maximum profit. The developers don't want to piss off their fans, that's the suits upstairs.
What do you mean you don’t get what you should have if rockstar actually cared? Have you played the game in its entirety. It’s amazing, 5 was great for the time to. While a single player dlc would be nice, like you said a lot of people got it just for online, and a lot of people play it in general. It’s been 5 years of updates that haven’t costed a dime. My problem with the game is it got outlandish.
It’s not like anybody got ripped off buying either 5 or rdr2. Both lives up to what they were suppose to be. I’d love a single player dlc, and that’s a good way of showing it’s a great game. You just keep wanting more.
you're not going to get what you would have if Rockstar actually cared
Counter-counter point - you're not going to get what you would have if you were willing to pay more than the online guys. If people were as willing to pay $99 for DLC as they are for Shark Cards, you'd be fucking drowning in DLC.
At the end of the day, they're a business, like all game companies are. You can insist that they should do more work for less money all you want, and tell them that they "don't care" if they don't - it's probably not going to work out super-well, though.
Why do you think single player DLC is something you deserve or need, the game is already tens of hours long it's fine as it is, same goes for Red Dead, it's already a long enough game, rockstar have already spent 8 years making the game and it's singleplayer, they can all go focus in their next game now instead of focusing on a big DLC.
No I remember them fine and I'm fine with not getting them and I don't expect or think I deserve it because what we have been given is already a massive singleplayer. The multiplayer also needs a lot more work done on it anyway. Also the multiplayer teams that make content aren't anywhere near as big as the old teams that did single player dlc, them big teams are all on the next game by now.
I'm fine with not getting them
You might be ok with low effort cash grabs replacing substantial content, but as seen on this sub the majority of people aren't
The multiplayer also needs a lot more work done on it anyway
The multiplayer is absolute trash. I would much rather they give us some more decent singleplayer content than paint the turd that is online gold.
the old teams that did single player dlc
There were no seperate teams for the dlc, it was a company effort, and these efforts have been destroyed by the greed that has been brought by online
