@SlowMotionKarma @kb8618 I always compare to the community score and at least read the good and bad points of the review, but i get what you are saying

i sure hope so, it is getting somewhat annoying having all that pop in, even fairly up close. It's probably because it takes a bit to scan a 750GB HDD, but I'm not spending $120 on a SSD

As times have changed, we felt that we no longer needed to be so granular with our review scores. With the old system, we had 20 different possible scores but only 10 score definitions, which led to some confusion. If an 8 is "great" and a 9 is "superb," what purpose does an 8.5 serve? To address this, we've decided to simplify and remove half-points all together."

Sounds oddly familiar, did you guys simply copy and paste this and only change a few words from the last time you changed this site. I didn't like it when you moved to .5s and i like it even less now that its just 1-10. an 8.5 means it's just about great, now its forcing you to decide if its good or great.

@zombieweekend based on preorders R* probably had a lot of discs pressed, hence why it didn't sell out

Them bringing this up and making it news is the only way it could destroy their reputation bwcause only a small % of people would of compared them to a char in a game, now a lot more people might

The only thing i'm not happy with is that every car is like an armored truck, based on that i give it a 9.5 They need to address the damage a vehicle takes when it slams full speed into another object.

@deadly_yank33 Maybe if you called the console by its real name people would take you a bit more seriously. Especially since the performance leap from PS3 to PS4 is greater than the 360 to the One. Spec wise the PS4 will have the advantage now. Whether it will have a significant impact on a multiplatform games look and performance remains to be seen.

Why is it that just about every time i check the news here since E3 or possibly earlier, a MS article is stickied to the top. Even worse there's already an article that says it will Not release on Nov 8th. In the past 3 months i think there was only one non MS article stickied, and that was only for like 2 days, and also there was one MS article stickied for like 2 weeks straight even with more interesting news coming out.

@Ian-Cognito They probably would pull it off if MS hadn't royally screwed up at their E3 press con and made PS4s preorders skyrocket to an impossible number to fulfill in time for a holiday release.

I hope that Oct release date is real. Gives them time to replenish stock for black Friday and the rest of the holiday shopping season after they fulfill the preorders.
