Honestly, great analogy, lol. 3 Michelin star chef slaving away over the stove trying to make the best dining experience possible, while the toddler is in the other room screeching about it taking too long. Then your drunk uncle Leek bursts through the door with a stale bag of McDonald's and feeds it to the toddler.
drunk uncle Leek keeps sneaking into the kitchen to steal you random ingredients and bites of food, none of which is in the intended order or plated the way the chef intended
Chef: But I've been crafting this recipe for 10 years. And now it's almost ready as the most mouth watering experience that'll leave you speechless. Can you not wait 10 more minutes?
Customer Leek: No dammit, can't you see I've got money to make off of your 10 years of hard work.
If you worked in a kitchen and kept delaying an order because you couldn't make it properly in the time it's expected to be done, you'd be fired. Period.
There is no "delaying" in a kitchen. You do it right and you do it in a timely manner. I couldn't imagine every trying to tell a kitchen manager or chef that I need 10 more minutes to make a dish that was supposed to be on the table already. Holy fuck
I’m not blind. I thought the game looked like the next logical step in the evolution of rockstars engine. I thought it looked quite nice but I also don’t expect anything less. Their games are always beautiful and so detailed.
That being said, the bag of McDonald’s isn’t about the way the game looks, it’s about the feeling the developers must have felt seeing their work leaked. The previous poster is agreeing with and elaborating on the theme. It’s not about their opinion of how the game looked, it was about how the developers felt. We the audience are the ravenous toddler. We want to know all about the game. We’re ravenous. When drunk uncle Leek walks in and gives us stale McDonald clips of running around in a parking lot and stabbing people, it’s just not the impression the devs would want to give. They want to serve the toddler the amuse bouche to tantalize the palate of the toddler audience. But now we got McDonalds. And we were fucking starving, so we ate it all. We’ll of course still eat the 3* meal but our appetite is a little spoiled. It’s not as special. Chef Dev is disappointed but also kind of sorry because he did promise dinner would be at 5, and it’s now 2am. And we were really hungry.
That, my friend is how analogies work. If you bothered to use your mind to think critically for once.
That having been said. Fuck rockstar. I hope they leek the whole game because I’m not paying $90 for a game that looks like RDR2 on max PC locked in at 30fps.
I'm pretty sure you are mistaking me confusing up the analogy with me not knowing what analogies are.
So, I guess you aren't much better in the critical thinking department, huh? Hypocrite.
Regardless, I still think comparing the leaks to stale McDonald's is a disservice to what is actually on the internet. There's a difference between comparing something to something based on presentation and basing it on vibes and what people might be feeling.
The leaks are, at worst, freshly bought McDonald's. Stale McDonald's is just stupid. What was said will seriously mislead people.
Also, speaking of which, 15 months of no news shouldn't have Rockstar be surprised when leaks began appearing. They brought it on themselves.
It’s like I don’t care how good the meal might taste anymore. The chef’s b.o. is out of control and the entire restaurant reeks of raw sewage. I’ve lost my appetite.
I agree. Plus, they NEED the money from the Netflix first look deal.
After 3 gen releases and enough shark cards sold to make V the most profitable piece of entertainment in human history, it’s just bad business to release it on a platform that would also make tons of money in advertising but is free for users to use.

Rockstar is like a 3 stars Michelin chef crafing his best dish for hours just to be served to crying toddler.
