BluJay said: Rockstar by far. Grand Theft Auto is the most overrated series ever. San Andreas sold about 15 million copies. There are a lot of better games out there that are fully made and deliver on all accounts and not just on open ended gameplay. |
They basically created an entirely new (and massively popular) genre just 6 years ago. Other developers are still playing catchup and by all acounts, GTA IV is going to set the bar even higher and make it harder for others to keep up.
Do they deserve 15m in sales for San Andreas? Maybe, maybe not. It didn't really push the envelope far enough past GTA III IMO. Are they overrated? Hell no.
BTW, I'll throw my hat in on a developer no one has mentioned in the thread:
id software. What have they done in the past decade?
