Rockstar Games Creates The Best Games

Seriously, I just bought an XBOX 360 a couple of months ago because I had to play Bully: Scholarship Edition and the amazing GTA IV. I'm a huge fan of videogames and wanted to play these 2 games and many others (Alan Wake for example) and I usually pick my videogames based on their storyline, graphics and gameplay. I've played hundreds of games on multiple consoles and I have to say that no one knows how to make games like Rockstar does. Of course, games like God of War, Call of Duty, Gears of War, Heavy Rain, Uncharted, Final Fantasy and many others are also considered to be awesome games but I consider Rockstar's games as being the best games ever created for the following reasons:

1) The Graphics: Maybe the graphics are not always as good as Heavy Rain's for example, but I still consider them to be more than decent. Let's not forget to mention that the games they make are full of small details, like how they focus on every single aspects without leaving any blank aspect of any object they design for their games. I also like how they design their characters. The characters they make are so unique and each and every one of them has a very different personality from the other. The way they dress, talk, and even act. Plus, I realised after watching more than one trailer of L.A NOIRE that their character's facial expressions are getting even more realistic!

2) The Gameplay: So easy, after playing for just a couple of hours any rockstar game, you quickly become used to the gameplay that I consider to be very simple. What I like the most about the gameplay is that the character you play moves around so easily and feels so flexible while doing multiple actions. Let's not forget to mention that you get to use many items like cellphones, payphones and the internet.

3) The Music: I love how every Rockstar game has its own music collection. The songs they feature in their games are classics and they put you in the mood for every single game. Rockstar also proves that it's not just about the songs in Bully, a game that only contains scores by Shawn Lee, and I have to say that he's an amazing composer. The atmosphere in Bully is breathtaking!

4) The Storyline: I may sound cheesy here, but since I'm a huge movie fan I usually pick my videogames based on their story and their atmosphere. A videogame has to have a decent and unique storyline. I'm not the kind of guy who enjoys decapitating his enemies for endless hours, it's just, not my cup of tea. I mean, I enjoy trying different styles of finishing moves in Mortal Kombat or Tekken 4 for example, but I usually feel like 'Then What?' and get bored very quickly. I only enjoy playing these kind of games when I'm in the mood to only have fun with my mates.

So I think these are the main different reasons I just love all the games made by Rockstar, from Max Payne to GTA to Bully. I forgot to mention that the games are also long which means that you'll be satisfied by the amount of missions every Rockstar game offers. Anyway, I'd also like to hear other fans' point of views and what they love the most about ROCKSTAR GAMES.

i agree.

i think out of all my games i re visit the r* games most.
one of my most memorable moments in vg's was driving a beater across broker bridge and marveling in the dynamic organic chaos.
similarly in rdr, my first ride into mexico as the sun was setting.

r* create beautiful games with intelligent [and moral] narratives.

Good god, is reading three paragraphs really too much to ask? Here, I'll paste the important bit to circumvent your ADD: "Developed by Team Bondi in conjunction with Rockstar Games"

Also, I never said it was anything like RDR. I haven't played it yet, so I wouldn't know.

That date it is asking for is your birthday, to verify you are old enough to see the content (which is something I am now questioning myself...). It says they co-developed the game with Team Bondi. This is from the official page for the game, I don't believe there is a more reliable source.

quote ; "Developed by Team Bondi in conjunction with Rockstar Games"

the other poster was right, you aren't even old enough to play the game.

Okay, so first of all, calling me a retarted for buying a 360 is just stupid and pointless. I'm gonna ignore your rude comments because I don't want to start a fight on here. I didn't buy the 360 to only play these two games. There are other games I wanted play like Gears of War, Alan Wake, Mafia 2, Portal 2, the 2 GTA4 extensions etc... but the two games I mentioned were on the top of my list. I don't really know what your problem is, I'm the one who's buying the console and it only cost me 250$, so chill. If you're really desperate to start a fight I suggest you look elsewhere. I mean, like you said, you didn't even bother reading more than one line.

I agree, and whoever makes Assassin's Creed is a close 2nd.

You know the escape.

[–] rmbrannan 14 years ago

regardless of who did the bulk of the work we can all agree that Rockstar attaches/associates itself with nothing but winners in terms of incredible games...amiright?perhaps?maybe?eh?

Bully was actually one of my least favorite "Rockstar" games though...meh

I was a very casual gamer until about 5th grade, and I started playing games like GTA III and GTA Vice City, froom then on I progressed into becoming a much more hardcore gamer. Rockstar became sort of a go-to company for me. If I don't know which new game to play, the answer is always a Rockstar game.
I firmly believe that the voice actors, the music, and the storyline are as important to a game as anything else, I just CANNOT get into a game if the acting is bad or if the story is lame. Rockstar always delivers on these fronts :)

Also, Bully, The Warriors, and Red Dead Redemption have to be my favorite Rockstar games so far. Still making up my mind about L.A. Noire.

Totally agree.

[–] hugh750 14 years ago

i 100% agree
rockstar has yet to make a bad game

[–] Littlebitsofgaming 14 years ago

Seening as TB and RS have had a HUGE falling out. So much so that RS refuse to publish the next TB game.

I guess we will see where the tallent of LA Noire lies.

Yeah, but guess what, Rockstar did not make this, Team Bondi created it, Rockstar published it. So hats off to Team Bondi.

I love Rockstar games. They really know how to craft cinematic games, with great stories and gameplay. I think R* are big film nuts, as their games always have loads of movie references. I think R* have done a lot to push games forward as an artistic medium.

My favourite Rockstar game so far is Red Dead Redemption. Simply stunning. LA Noire is good, very good. But RDR has more freedom to roam where you please, and a more tight narrative, so I will give that the prize.
