So after jumping on the proverbial band wagon late, I picked up and finished Red Dead Redemption. My lasting impression was: Has Rockstar lost their mojo?
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
The second part of GTA BOOM's interview with Obbe Vermeij where they turn from origin stories to craft. Specifically, how early GTA games created the illusion of life, and why that illusion still matters more than brute-force simulation.
Rockstar North = GTA
Rockstar San Diego = RDR.
They are two different developers. Article fail.
Rockstar lost their mojo after GTA 4, then got it back after Red Dead Redemtion. (At least in my eyes)
Lame article! R* lost their coolness because John is faithful? You can't sleep around in RDR so the game isn't as good as GTA? What's wrong with a man trying to change his life around and do the right thing? Does that make John lame?
"If any adult plays this game and then goes out and ties a woman to a rail road, I’ll kiss Jack Thompson’s shoe." -article
You better go kiss some shoe then, cause I'm pretty sure a shit ton of people have that achievement/trophy for doing so. Article=FAIL
Also, RDR kicked ass. This sounds like the opinion of someone who hasn't played the game in its entirety.
