Rockstar Games Makes Me Quiver

I'm not afraid to say it: I love Rockstar Games. They have to be my favorite videogame development house. Not only do they release titles I love (the GTA franchise and Manhunt, for example), they are excellent developers who care about their product.

Perfect example, the XBOX port of GTA: San Andreas... Sure, it is pretty much a straight port of the PS2 version, but they FIXED things. Most importantly, they fixed the stupid Zero RC missions to actually be PLAYABLE! On the PS2 version, it took DOZENS of tries to finish ZRC 1. ZRC 2 was COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE for the majority of gamers out there. Which prevented them from even seeing the much easier ZRC 3 and thus completing the ZRC missions and getting up to $5000 recurring revenue from the ZRC store.

Last night I decided to give the RC missions a try on the XBOX. It took only two attempts each to beat all three. That's INFINTELY better than the PS2 version, and my skills are not that drastically different on the XBOX version. They must've tweaked the controls to make it more reasonable. Now the ZRC missions are like all the other GTA:SA missions, moderately to very challenging but still defeatable.

I love you Rockstar...
