Feedbackula - GTA V Review Revulsion

@Hypocorism Too bad you are racist.

@Hypocorism @philMcCrevis You're not supporting the review if your spamming it with meaningless insults that has nothing to do with the review itself. Its nothing more than cleaning up spam on a page. I can't tell you how many thirsty trolls would pull up "freedom of speech" to shield their idiotic acts from backlash or punishment.

Well said Jonny. Keep up the good work mate.

I'm log in just to say this, "thumb up" Johnny & Feedbackula,

The only way you're going to get rid of hateful comments on GameSpot is to remove user feedback entirely. Unfortunately, that also leads to silencing the awesome contributors to the site. Whether eliminating the former is worth that sacrifice is up to GameSpot to decide internally, but it's never going to stop otherwise.

That was cool. I think the internet is in a juvenile state where people shoot first and ask questions later. Maybe a facility where a timer is placed on a comment where a user can decide to submit or not after a certain cooling off period, as to remove the instant gratification of posting comments instantly. How many things I say and then regret an hour later is... alot!

Nicely said, Johnny.

well said jonny ... alltho i came here to c something funny .... i still agree wid u .... HOW THE FUK CAN A 9/10 NOT B GUD ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh fk off

Hosting a show where people are personally ridiculed in front of their peers (Including stupid insulting voiceovers) doesn't give you much credibility in complaining about personal attacks.

Yes personal attacks are bad and it's shocking what people post and yes the low crass level of this "show" does not condone such comments. Someone may take serious offence to being ridiculed on your show.. do you ask permission first to ensure they are OK with it?

Look at all this whining and bitching

If a single person at Gamespot read her shit review they would have known that this backlash would happen. Which they did. This was done purposefully for the traffic. Dude even admits it in whats the point.

The score makes no difference, it's her obviously feminist agenda polluting her review that is the problem.

Really starting to wonder if these guys are actually gamers at all.

Thank you johnny for another great show!
I personally think it's unfortunate that comments escalated to this point.
The internet is an amazing place, but unfortunately gives some people the opportunity to say whatever they wish to say just because they couldn't do it in the real world.

Best Feedbackula ever.

Sadly the vast majority of people who post comments on this site are morons. Just look at any PS3 and XBox story and witness the rampant stupidity of people dolling out abuse on the basis of one person preferring one massive corporations product over anothers practically identical product as proof of how dumb alot of people are.

Nicely done Jonny, its nice to see someone stand up to these morons and of course you are right in every aspect. If people just want to see the score they want then why do they even bother reading the review? They've made their minds up already! Anyone who can't see the lunacy in that alone doesn't warrant acknowledgement.

@Feedbackula:

EXCELLENT!!!

Nice job mate, well said!!!

come to think of it, whatever issues personal or not, the reviewer had with the game, the comments she received. i mean what the hell. johnneh didnt say **** you to everyone here, he just said **** u to those specific people.

we might takeoffense because we didnt make those comments but when u actually think about it for a minute, SOME PEOPLE did, so johnneh has a reason to react the way he did

Would someone kindly point me in the direction of any GTA characters that should be considered role models? I find picking misogyny out of a piece of work filled with stereo-types, drug deals, homicide, and outlandish story lines to be highly biased. No one gets respect for being a gender or color, you earn respect by your actions, not what you are born with. Some men are pigs, some women are weak, generalizing either sex or color by what you hear from the vocal minority makes you ignorant and presumptuous.

Carolyn gets upset about any game where the protagonist isn't Gloria Steinem.

@Hypocorism @philMcCrevis No, you are allowed to say anything you want. Hate-filled or otherwise. You are NOT allowed to post anything you want on a privately owned website, the owners decide what is and is not appropriate. Speak it to the people in your vicinity and you can stretch your freedom of speech as far as you want, you do NOT have the right to force people to listen or post that shit to their private anything.

@Hypocorism I imagine the person or peoples who coined the term "Misogyny" knew what it meant...

@Hypocorism @philMcCrevis I agree that people have the right to say what they like, however, verbal assaults, threats and hate speech are not exactly tolerated. As far as it goes in the united states, some of the community comments could very easily end up in a civil or even criminal suit and besides, Freedom of speech also comes with responsibilities, If one feels like expressing their feelings regardless of how biased or hateful they may be/seem, complaining when their is backlash is not allowing for freedom of expression to work both ways.

P.S. As far as the site goes...We don't own Gamespot, its parent company does. As far as policies go, we are guests and the policies enacted by our hosts reflect our behavior specifically in this current situation.

@NaNoSQDX Your going to be biased against a professional reviewer for the personal choices that person has made? One that doesn't remotely impact your own life or the review itself? Why is that?

Johnny reminded me about Vaas in this video when he says "**** you" xD

Omg a 9.0 How dare you give an honest opinion about a game. Dang you Gamespot if you were standing in front of me I would kick you in the shins. Omg Omg Omg AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! hehe. Ill never grow up.This makes me want to slap a hooker.

Anonymous asked: Hey Jeff Gerstmann, how come people have problems with female representation in GTA V but at the same time speak nothing of the lengthy interactive torture scene?

Jeff responds: Because one of those arguments requires people to actually play the game.

Dang. That was serious. I just came to get a few giggles and now I'm all sad 'n junk.

GTA IV received a perfect 10/10. GTA V world is larger has more personality more weapons more just about everything and it get a 9/10. The justification for the score being the way women are represented seems unfair when you consider that women are treated the same way in GTA IV. Also the black characters don't represent blacks well either. all black characters in the game are drug dealers gangbangers and or recently released from prison. The review did not mention this at all why is that? I it because the reviewer is female? Makes me wonder about how much that influenced the review. To be fair every character in the game is effing nuts not just the females.

It's just fvckin video games, people.

Something very positive could come from all this if GameSpot are willing to undergo a painful process of examining their editorial policy and conduct. The should hold up their hands and take responsibility for running a show (Feedbackula) which encourages negativity and misrepresents the gaming community as being a stereotypical cliche of angry kids just looking for the excuse to offend. Cancel the show and give the viewing public the show they deserve filled with the real interesting observations and opinions that are posted in response to reviews, instead of cherry picking the views that sit most comfortably with editorial staffs opinions/beliefs.
