Grand Theft Auto Megathread - OP 3.0
NML Cygni:
pls may i b addd 2 da list
McJobless:
I figured out what made me shiver most. This release has pointing out the blatant corruption in AAA gaming.
This isn't any level of illuminati stuff, this is all obvious, but it's ridiculous we just let it go ahead. Microsoft and Sony are freely able to pay their way, and get any game:
A) Exclusively advertised for their system (Sony with Destiny and GTA V)
B) Have another platform's copy delayed (twice now)
I think that's disgusting. Say what you will, but clearly the problem is less Rockstar/Take Two being greedy, and more that the console manufacturers are so hard pressed to find any reason why customers should buy their consoles, they have to steal games in order to make their hardware look good.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's even more to this story.
I don't get why people are so preoccupied with #GamerGate and journalistic transparency, when the developers/publishers/manufacturers are being just as, if not more, sneaky.
Foxscotch:
I think you should be concentrating on more serious issues than the release dates and advertising for games...

What else affects me personally?
* Australia's threat level raised to high? Oh wait, John Howard did the same thing in his stretch, and nothing happened then.
* The whole CIA conflict? I don't live in the Middle East, and I have no money, knowledge or anything to contribute to it.
* The Ebola Virus (which could be in Australia)? Well, they said it's highly unlikely the guy in Australia has it. Otherwise, I don't have the cash to contribute to the charities.
* My assessments? Already planned out the specific times I'm working on them. Scheduling helps a lot.
* Employment? I've already got two jobs which I need to continue waiting for the paperwork to be finalised.
There is absolutely nothing else I have to think about at the current moment.
Swat 3:
Jobless, you are talking about a thing called companies.
Sony got the Destiny deal and Microsoft didn't. Xbox gets all of the CoD deals and Sony doesn't.
Sony simply got the "show my system in your videos and screenshots" deal. It is all about money, Job.
Besides, Rockstar is probably working hard to do something for PC, like implement the ability to mod stuff and a better port.
