Has the Gaming Experience Really Improved?

Take-Two CEO, Strauss Zelnick, said the price hike “reflects the quality of the experience.” Well if I’m going to be honest, the experience with NBA 2K and other Take-Two titles have been lacking in recent years. I’m not saying they are not successful because from a monetization standpoint, they absolutely have been, but from a gamer satisfaction standpoint, I would argue they have been unsuccessful.

Kobe64 was the last basketball game I played or will play. Doesn’t really matter if NBA games have improved or not since the companies that make them are nothing more than scavengers that shouldn’t be supported.

If you havent played in 20 years how would you know if its bad or not? or how bad it is? I enjoy 2k20 and havent spent a penny outside of buying the game.. But keep thinking that you have to pay extra to enjoy it if it makes you feel better.

Dirk is my favorite player of all time. MFFL!

ThereGoThatManQ2093d ago

2K has had one of the worst downfalls I can remember. Nothing will beat 2k8!

Also maybe if they didn’t put everything behind a paywall, like tattoos, then you guys would be ok

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit12h ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing12h ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9210h ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

Take-Two CEO Once Again Side Steps Grand Theft Auto 6 Price Point

Strauss Zelnick says price of GTA 6 is being carefully considered and that Rockstar is focused on "making the most spectacular piece of entertainment on Earth."

Kuma1d 3h ago

If GTA 6 abandons everything that made GTA 5 great, it will crash and burn right out of the gate. GTA 5 was funny and not at all PC. My worry is that they will cave to the PC crowd and ruin the vibes.

Eonjay23h ago

They got freaking BBLs twerking on the top of trucks for the gram, the freaking Flordia joker, and dude running down the stree in their undies and you are worried about it being 'too PC'? The internet has runied gamers. It doesn't matter how non-PC they make the game, you will all listen to the grifters telling you not to believe your lying eyes lol.

"Rockstar Games’ co-founder and former VP of Development Jamie King said he envisions GTA 6 as a game that’s “maybe not quite as edgy or quite as funny” as its satirical predecessors."

oh yeah, totally internet grifters spreading rumors...

blacktiger20h ago

That's part of the plan, they destroyed you but they need to destroy the shareholders? Only 1 shre holder is the true elite that don't care

Meh.., if it’s above £55 I ain’t buying it.

Rockstar are genuinely not half the company they used to be. I was a die hard GTA fan I’ve purchased every game and expansion and spin off day 1.

My opinion of GTA6 is that I can take it or leave it. Not bothered. They burnt too many bridges.

DaReapa22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

So they're actually leaving the door open for an L.A. Noire sequel? Nice!

VaNdAl21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

He should just come out and say it already it's getting stupid it's going to be a 100 bucks $200 for the special edition🤡🤡; 29315;🤣♿

Storm2320h ago

I won't be getting this game until I can get it for $70. SHoot, I could wait for it to be even lower. I don't need the game that badly as my backlog is still huge and I am enjoying playing other things.
