I've done this already with Blizzard, Supergiant Games and the Assassin's Creed games. I've decided to do this until i run out of interesting companies/series to gauge opinion on.
Rockstar Games, alongside arguably Valve and a few persistent console developers, are one of the few great 00s developers who haven't at least partially tarnished their legacy of high standards and consistently medium-busting titles.
They are fond of the third person, it's true, this seems to be by and large their favoured way of seeing a game world, but what they lack in wholesale innovation they make up for in innovative iteration. And money. In the 10s especially their games have been present in pluralities near the pointy end of Top Games of All Time lists.
You can't see votes before you vote, your can't change your vote, we all know what you voted for. For fun.
Note: For the sake of some kind of poll brevity, I've had to curate the list sightly. This is not a comprehensive list, and I've striped out expansions, handheld console releases set in mainline titles' worlds, etc. Believe me I'll believe YOU if you want to vote for a PSP title, but I can't open that can of poll options. I consider Max Payne 1 and 2 to be Remedy games, despite their presence on certain lists of Rockstar games. There are a few games I chose to omit - I actually love Monster Truck Madness for the PC, but I never played it on N64 and i rather think it wasn't better than Red Dead Redemption 2.
Red Dead Revolver was largely made by Capcom, though Rockstar did make it coherent (perhaps not the best word choice) and finished it.
i should probably have omitted Oni for the same reasons I omitted Max Payne 1+2, dammit.

GTA and RDR we all know. Midnight Club was an accessible arcade racing series with some great graphics and tight controls. LA Noire an innovative crime/detection sim with an engrossing story and impressive setting. The manhunt games were controversially violent.
