but those franchises that you named, they died because they made shitty new games and didn't added nothing new or interesting to those franchises to keep gamers interested... sort of like Call of duty does nowadays with every game they release except there are still idiots who buy that crap(sorry if this goes for you)..
but Gta is different, the improvement Rstar make with every GTA is HUGE, not to mention the large budget they invest to ensure the game fulfill our and their expectations ..
from what I know GTA 5 cost 137 Millions to make...so why the hell u say rockstar went cheap on development because fans would it buy it anyway no matter whether the game is bad or good?
btw i stiill need to practice my english, sorry if i didnt made myself clear
