It's sad that a critic cannot give a game criticism without receiving hatred and personal attacks. We see people fight over games being art and wanting them to get the same recognition then they have to undertake the same criticism. If the game tackles political satire but doesn't do it perfectly, or missing the point at all as I've observed in the game, then it isn't perfect. Story is a feature of the game and it falls flat at times and is over the top for over the top's sake at times. That said, there are a minor issues in my mind that keep it from being a 10/10. Then again, that's my opinion.
GTAV is amazing. It is something that should not be missed. It is not perfect for a number of reasons but is amazing. A real 9/10 by my book. Would giving it a 10/10 have made the game better and covered up those issues and flaws? No. Just because it is an outstanding game in an outstanding series does not hold it above criticism or entitle it to a higher score. Everyone can have a different opinion over the game without them being wrong. Conflicting opinions does not necessitate that one is right and the other isn't.
It's sad to see our community explode into juvenile anger and hatred over something and not have a real discussion over it. The point of Gamespot and us as a community is to bond over our love of the gaming media not to give us a forum for who can be the biggest loudest hate monger.
@Ryan Matta No, see LAST week it was about increasing figurine sales but THIS week it's about creating the antithesis of females in gaming. It's a very versatile topic almost as if it's being made up on the spot.
