( Avatar, the highest-grossing movie ever, earned only a measly $2.8 billion in theaters.) In April of this year, GTAV - made on a reported budget of $265 million - passed $6 billion in sales, making it the highest-grossing entertainment product in history. Rockstar’s last release, Grand Theft Auto V, the 2013 action game for which Dan was the lead writer, earned $1 billion in its first three days and has sold nearly 100 million copies. On the company’s website, they refer to themselves as “impressionable idiots on a mission to entertain.”īut the work sells itself. And in exchange for that, you give up your whole soul.” Rockstar hasn’t had a booth at E3, the nation’s biggest game convention - which Sam considers “a big sort of willy-waving exercise” - in over a decade.
With fame comes annoying obligations and, as Dan has observed by proximity to celebrities he’s worked with, “lots of girls who only want to speak to you or have sex with you because you’re famous. They hardly ever give interviews, and they’ve never taken a PR photo together. Dan and his brother, Sam, 47, who emigrated from London to New York to found Rockstar Games in the ’90s, prefer it that way. Along with the team he oversees, Dan Houser, 44, is in no small way responsible for a great portion of tens of billions of dollars in video-game sales, and unless you’re someone who pores over credits, you probably don’t know his name. Inside this highly secure enclave, one of the world’s most successful writers dwells. “You’re not supposed to be out here without someone watching you,” he says. Even in the bathroom, a placard jabs, “Lift the Seat Before You Leak: Offenders Will Be Sacrificed.” Outside it, a worker bee looks at me suspiciously and escorts me back to reception. Signs warn you not to post anything about your visit on social media. It’s quiet, save for a mix of Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality” and the sounds of a video game cowboy riding a horse on a nearby TV. After you’re buzzed inside, you’ll need to wear a laminated visitor’s pass to get beyond reception. If you make it past the downstairs lobby and up the elevator, a thick metal door blocks your way. You can’t simply stroll into the Manhattan offices of Rockstar Games. Unless you’re a big Geralt fan…Ĭan't wait for GTA 6? Here are some games like GTA to get you through it.Red Dead Redemption 2 will be available October 26.

Whether completing the incredibly paced Jewel Store job on a 720p, 32-inch screen on Xbox 360 back in the day, or being privileged enough to play Franklin and co’s criminal hijinx at 4K/120fps on a colossal OLED TV courtesy of a high-end PC, this is probably the best open world game of all time. An inventive, devilish and awesome open world that plays out like a tongue-in-cheek version of Michael Mann’s Heat, this is arguably the best game ever made.
And seeing this is not a best list of Mojang games/or Minecraft expansions, it’s pretty clear what the GOAT of this list is.
When you factor in sales and critical success, two outstanding contenders usually stand tall. In an incredibly subjective medium, there are so few games that deserve to be considered the greatest of all time.
