  1. No, no, no. Cost is everything. Videogames are a business. If costs aren't controlled, then that's a horrible thing. And I don't think Rockstar tried to control costs that much. It's fiscally irresponsible and it's setting a bad precedent. But talk more about this lazy developer thing, because that could be an interesting topic but you need to talk more about it.
  2. It makes it more difficult for start-ups and especially mid-sized companies. GTA V cost more to make than Capcom has in the bank. They can't compete with that. Obviously Take-Two would have all that money anyway. If you want jobs, not spending it all in one place would be better.
  3. So, I represent the videogame blog KoopaTV. It's a videogame industry-based blog that is facetious at many times but takes a critical view at a diverse range of topics. It currently has two Grand Theft Auto V articles, both of which are quite critical of the game and what it represents. One is that the power fantasy idea of game design is inherently flawed because there is no risk involved. Without risk, there is no thrill. No fun! Without the gravity of risk, one would rather do fantastical things outside of the realm of imagination. The other is that due to Rockstar's TREMENDOUS investment into this game ($266 million), the bar is raised for what an AAA-level game should be, and this makes getting into game development much harder. This would hurt the game industry in the long-run (and even the short-run). I'd love to have genuine discussion on both those topics, either in KoopaTV's comments section or here.
  4. Okay, hi iGTA5.com. I've had... quite a bit of problems registering here (your send validation e-mail system is AWFUL), but now that I'm finally here, I got some concerns. I've been reading some criticism of Grand Theft Auto V. So what are your thoughts on these criticisms?
