I haven't been a massive GTA fan since vice city. I think that franchise is really just their go to. I'd love for them to be more creative and work on new ip's like they were with the red dead series.

Red Dead is only one game atm really, can't remember the original being a bit hit. I agree GTAIV wasn't that good, but VC/SA and GTA5 are all brilliant games.
I don't think Rockstar should necessarily be held in the same high regard as Bethesda or Bioware. Maybe I'm just being biased however because I prefer their games.

I think you definitely are being biased there, many many people still consider games like Vice City and SA to be the greatest ever. Plus Red Dead will have a massive following when the next one comes around. Lets not forget pretty much every Bethesda game that has come out on console has had major technical issues, they're ambitious but tend to stumble across the finishing line and seemingly get rushed out. From my experience Rockstar nearly always release games that run flawlessly, apart from the first week or so of GTA:O on 5. Can't really comment on Bioware as I haven't played any of their games.
It does come down to what sort of games you like though, but the sales records GTA5 made speak volumes about the popularity of the game.
For me Rockstar and Bethesda have always been the best though, as developers and publishers. I'm looking forward to the next Red Dead/GTA/Elder Scrolls/Fallout
I'm not sure I can agree that popularity = quality but I see what you're saying. I guess I like a bit of thinking in gaming which, lets be honest, Rockstar games aren't known for. And honestly not even Bethesda are doing that well in that aspect. Bioware, aside from going very mainstream in Mass Effect 3 does this very well.
And why the hell haven't you played any Bioware games?!? Get on it man.

No it doesn't but at the same time a game wouldn't get THAT popular without having the quality behind it, that's what I mean. If you want a game where there's more strategy/logic needed then play an MMO.
And I'll probably get the Mass Effect games eventually.
Rockstar (specifically the GTA series) is possibly the only case where the popularity and quality are both so high.

FIFA?
its awful because its popular.
ea got lazy and started churning out the same garbage every season because they know people we buy it
If FIFA and PES were competing we'd be so much better off.
Not really getting any better is it. Titanfall and Second Son? Whats really going on here?
Titanfall is fúcking awesome, been playing the shít out of it the last few days.
The XB1 is still far harder to use than the 360, they should just port the UI over, would be much better.
Years in and nothing has changed.
