I'd say a perfect 10 would be a well-earned score. However, to not give it a perfect score because of the so-called female hating that takes place in the game is... well, pretty lame. Look at MGS4. Look at all the MGS games. There is a lot of racy content in those games, and yet MGS4 gets a 10/10. I love the MGS series. I have played them all, and have loved every one. But to give GTA V a lower score due to some minor issues and the female hating thing, is quite childish. Look at how many movies out there portray women as dirt-much more than video games. Maybe its because women are portrayed strong, sexy, and powerful in MGS4 that it didn't cause the score to go lower than 10? Women will always be portrayed that way... Maybe because they're women? And here there are articles about the sexiest cheerleaders of the NFL posted on Gamespot... I wonder why... What would be the point of that? Hmmm... Let's think for a minute... Maybe because they're all very hot, sexy, and good to look at? And yet GTA V's score dwindles because of a few minor issues with the characters, gameplay, and anti-female content.... Very sad and juvenile indeed.
Get used to all the killing, rape, thievery, portrayals, shootings, suicides, serial killings, bombings, hatred, and everything else crime-its not stopping anytime soon.
@FallenOneX I watched the Feedbackula episode on people being upset with the review score, and feel that the review was almost spot on, maybe a 9.5 would have been best, however, the reviewer saying that women are only showed as trash and dirt was a bad point. Every GTA game has portrayed women that way, and that point was never spoken about in all the past GTA games. The only thing that was controversial was the Hot Coffee Mod, which wasn't even officially playable in GTA: SA. And to think, there are a lot of movies out there that portray women badly, why is GTA any different? Maybe because you can interact more with them... Whatever.
I can't wait for the next game in the series; hopefully it'll be even worse.
Whatever people. Violence-mainly killing-has been happening since the dawn of time. Nothing has changed. Nothing if different. Maybe more killing, maybe less, but killing is killing. Guns, clubs, hammers, nails, video games, gasoline, toothpicks, tree branches, rocks... they are all things that are not alive nor do they kill. It is the human wielding them that kills, who has been killing other living things since the dawn of time. Get used to it already. A fu**ing bear kills a deer, nobody gives a bucket of warm sh**. An 8-year-old kills a granny, everybody freaks out. What's the difference? There is no difference. Killing is killing. We humans have just found over 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ways and reasons to do so, whereas the bear kills to protect or nourish itself.
Well, after following the lore of Diablo 3 for a while now, I can read into this and see that it has something to do with Malthael, the fallen angel from the Angiris Council. He's going to make a big return, I think...
We need more people out there killing with swords and battleaxes. Guns make it way too easy. Humans are nasty little creatures, and the killing will never stop. No amount of laws will stop violence or killing anywhere. This is just a waste of resources.
I'm on BF3's side in the FPS genre of video gaming. It's the most fun and exhilarating kind of FPS other than gems like Crysis and Crysis Warhead, and it's multiplayer has always dominated in those two aspects as well, making it a perfect contender for my collection of PC video games.
Yeah, this is pretty stupid and ignorant. If somebody has a problem with this game, don't play the freakin' thing. If you think it's gonna teach your kid how to treat women bad, then don't let THEM play it. Finally, if you think violent video games are too violent, then you haven't been in a real-life situation that's FUBAR, like having to clean out your father's trailer/toy hauler fifteen days after he died in it while smelling the rotten, putrid smell of a dead human body, all at age 21. I'm turning 23 this Friday at 7:42AM, and I can certainly tell you that nothing is worse than that smell, not even a fake Duke who treats everyone like crap nor a game filled with violence and nude women. Sure, my experience isn't that violent, but is still WAY MORE F**KED UP THAN THIS GAME. Grow up, people.
I remember the PS2 launch very well: My father bought me a system along with the first Grand theft Auto game I ever played: GTA: Vice City. And I STILL love the '80s and Vrock!
