I am not a fan of it, however, the hard handling applies to NPCs too. Races in IV were much easier than in other games, as all you need is not to crash on the first corner, and now you are ahead of everyone as most cars NPC cars just crash.
That doesn't really surprise me. My understanding of RDO is that it's basically just GTAO in a less interesting sandbox that's trying even more to rip you off and hasn't really had much support. There is the question of "what can you actually put into RDO that people would be willing to spend money on", but I'm sure Rockstar could solve that if they wanted to. But why bother when 1) GTAO is so much more worthwhile to invest in 2) GTA6 is right around the corner 3) 25 million is still a good amount if you're not really putting any effort into it.
You're a low IQ tourist who doesn't even know what the GTA 4 beta has because you were too young to remember the GTA 4 previews. Also, you're still a brown ESL nigger that I can barely understand, so that checks out. I used to wonder how these big leaks just get memoryholed all the time, but I guess when your average gamer is an oblivious redditor retard and a casual like you, it starts making sense.
5, and especially 4, are big on "no fun allowed" in name of realism. Nothing will beat SA/VC styled rampages, they actually felt like those old GTA 1/2 arcade massacres.
They shot themselves in the foot with RDO. RDO isn't making money because there's nothing to buy with the premium currency. Rockstar did not add enough content to sustain RDO compared to GTA Online. Yet, there's still a dedicated fanbase in spite of Rockstar Games BECAUSE of that open world.
Closest thing to an orbital strike in RDO would be heading over to your two pack mules carrying your radio and its battery and calling in some artillery.
The link doesn't work for me.
Riding Wheel is much better
There’s the Max Payne remakes in collaboration with Remedy coming soon, but I see your point. I think Max Payne was a Remedy IP first.
The only near-release beta I’ve ever seen that was significant was for Sunsoft’s NES Batman game.
He's made a few videos reacting to GTA in the past that I watched. Tbh I always felt like something was up with the guy but could never put my finger on it.
San Andreas was the last game I remember having 'fun' cheats at all, other than maybe Saints Row. Evil cars, peds riot, moon gravity, flying cars, give all peds weapons, etc. Man that shit was fun, end up bricking your only good save because you accidentally saved over an old slot with the riot cheat on and gave everyone weapons so it's just an eternal fucking warzone and you can't do anything without getting blown up by a random ped with an RPG on the street corner. IIRC I kept a save like that to play co-op on with my cousin and we'd see if we could actually make it out of the city without dying first, usually trying to make a run for the airport, that was the only way to survive.
Granted, it is me being wishful, as that would explain the way tighter mission design now, where you can't leave the mission zone at all, while in the older games you could go really far, get a helicopter, and get through the mission without difficulty.
