Overall, Carolyn, your review was really well-done, as was your Arkham Origins review. I liked your AO review particularly because you called out the lack of innovation, which I think is something not enough reviewers do when it comes to big-budget titles with a hype train behind them.

That said, you state in your GTAV review that you don't think the misogyny in the game is a satire.

In my opinion, this is where you make a misstep. GTA's heart and soul has always been satire. The radio ads, the characters, even tiny details. "AmmuNation" for instance is a satire of American gun culture.

GTA is not nor will ever be a series made for the faint-hearted. If you easily take offense, then the humor and spirit of GTA just isn't for you.

Complaining about the portrayal of women and feminists in the game makes you seem humorless and unable to relax and enjoy a video game due to your real world political leanings, which is unfortunate.

I honestly don't think that this is why you detracted a point from the final score of the game. But, as it was essentially the only criticism you leveled at the game, it leads many of your readers to believe that this was in fact the case.

Regards.
