Read it on a website written by some guy, cause R* has ZERO community communication. https://t.co/WkwlYuc95QIn his most recent video, DarkViperAU considers the Rockstar Launcher to be an abyssmal failure. For starters, there wasn't even a countdown for the remastered GTA trilogy. For a billion dollar company, they didn't bother to put much resources into their launcher.He also criticized the user interface of their website, stating that it's overly simplistic and lacks detailed information. DarkViperAU unfavorably compares it to Ubisoft Connect, which has multiple tabs relevant to their games. The Rockstar Launcher is not as helpful as their direct competitors.DarkViperAU@DarkViperAUWait. The definitive edition still isn't out on PC yet? Rockstar exists to annoy and dissapoint me. I have to wait until 2 am apparently. If they &quot;accidentally&quot; released it early on Playstation they should just have released it at the same time on other platforms.1:24 AM · Nov 11, 2021206143Wait.

Due to server issues, it's still not available for PC players. Meanwhile, Rockstar accidentally released the PlayStation version before the Xbox ones.DarkViperAu complains about their lack of consistency. It's not fair for PC players to rely on the Rockstar Launcher and be punished for it. They couldn't even play a $60 game on its release date.DarkViperAU also takes issue with GTA OnlineDarkViperAU@DarkViperAUGoing to have to battle the DDoSers, Mod Menus, The naked guys yelling the N-Word for a bit longer in GTA Online. @RockstarSupport, from what I gather, also doesn't track the progress for the Numero Uno achievement.

What dumb company makes a mystery achievement they don't track? https://t.co/Ewh7lW6xPbGTA Online recently had a few bugs in regards to the following achievement:Numero Uno: Obtain first place in all competitive game types.Some players are reporting issues with unlocking this achievement. Rockstar said they are continuing to work on it, but DarkViperAU is not impressed. He finds it laughable that a billion dollar company doesn't keep track of these results.What doesn't help is that GTA Online was also down because of server issues. Some players don't even get the chance to collect their achievements.He thinks Rockstar should hold themselves to a higher standardDarkViperAU@DarkViperAUThe amount of people saying of the #GTADefinitiveedition &quot;its a remaster, not a remake, your expectations were too high&quot; is kinda nuts.Imagine defending Rockstar for choosing less effort for a worse product for max priceYou shouldnt get credit or forgiveness for rushed laziness4:04 AM · Nov 12, 20211877118The amount of people saying of the #GTADefinitiveedition &quot;its a remaster, not a remake, your expectations were too high&quot; is kinda nuts.Imagine defending Rockstar for choosing less effort for a worse product for max priceYou shouldnt get credit or forgiveness for rushed lazinessOverall, DarkViperAU thinks Rockstar no longer cares about their product.
