Would we all be owned? I personally didn't preorder for a number of reasons. 1. it's made for current gen consoles, so how much better can it get? 2. there's probably going to be a PC version. 3. No real pre-order incentives, might as wait and see.

It's GTA, it won't flop. Even if by some crazy twist, it ended up been the worst game ever made, critics will still give it godly praise, and it'll still be one of the highest selling games of the year, simply because of the name. It's one of those titles that's just immune, regardless of it's actual quality.

it wont, I can't see it with the kind of $$ invested and hype behind it.  Sad but those two things hold more weight behind it than even the actual quality of the game for most review sites that depend on endorsements.   

If the game somehow manages to flop on GS you better believe they only do it to follow trend if most every other site ends up flopping it was well.

So your goal was to make someone shake their head out of some mixture of confusion and pity? You should aim a bit higher in your trolling.

If it flops it'll be because of MS faulty hardware holding back Rockstar once again.

I doubt it will flop as Rockstar has pretty much just been doing the same games with different skins since GTA 3, and they have the formula down quite well. The only way it will flop (and by that I mean not get a 10/10 or some other absurdly high score) is if reviewers take points off for the game not taking any real risks or changing up the gameplay in any signficant manner.

From what we've seen, and what we know, it wont be bad. It wont be average. It'll be great. Whether it gets the score people think it will is only relevant if you're an idiot. Will it be enjoyable? Almost certainly yes. And if it isn't, don't panic, because it's not the last game in the world ever being released so don't worry about it. If you're a reasonable sort you will be pretty forgiving of certain things, such as minor bugs (consider the size) and mini games you don't like but can ignore.

Things I don't want to see:

Annoying texts and calls from people nagging you to play f*cking bowling.

In game girlfriends who go off you if you don't check in with them every five minutes.

Broken gameplay.

 

As long as I don't see the last one we will be okay, if we don't get the two others it's going to rate very highly with me.

Game could be honest to god broken, honest to god you'd have to be blind to not see a glaring game design failure, and it will still do 95+ on metacritic, and win the most Game of the Year awards this year. Shit is preordained.

It can score a 5/10 and still be the #1 selling video game of all time. It's flop-proof.

Oh, and since we have no hype polls, and most likely will not have one for this game, it can't flop.

It will not be that huge of deal becasue it is not exclusive. What will be bigger is if it gets a 10. That would be 3 AAAA's for ps3, AAAA for 360, 1 AAAA for wii, and  none for PC.

Unless Gamespot took one down, I am only seeing two for the PS3, one of which (GTA4) is a multiplat, and another (MGS4) which should never have gotten that score in the first place.

I'd chuckle and then proceed to play the absolute crap out of it.

I mean, we already know it's gonna be bounds better than GTAIV based off a lot of information thus far, and I loved GTAIV. At this stage I'd be amazed if I was disappointed.

If GTA V scores below 9.0 I'll leave SW forever.

 

But if it scores a 10 I literally will not shut up about it.

There are no girlfriends in V and Rockstar has explicitly said the cell phone won't have the same nagging role it had in IV. And the gameplay trailers have shown a game that has the gunplay of the best third-person shooter of the gen, so I think we're set for a 10. Maybe an 11/10.

Really the only ones who will be around to even discuss it would be the Nintendo fanboys and for a short time the PC fanboys. Everyone else will just be too busy playing it to even bother paying attention to anything else.

It won't. A lot of sites like IGN have probably written their reviews already. If it does, people will cry before even playing the game. Its a huge problem with game reviews. Most people just want to be told what they'd like to hear.

Implying Nintendo and PC fanboys won't be busy enjoying the game as well. Newsflash: People actually own more than one system.
