Feedbackula - GTA V Review Revulsion

We reviewed Grand Theft Auto V recently, giving it a very impressive 9/10. This made a lot of our community furious, and Johnny has a thing or two to say about it.

This is a good as time as any to remind / notify people that GameSpot is working on implementing a 3 strikes policy for abuse.

@Synthia @Synthia @Synthia The gamespot audience, much like all internet audiences, is filled with children. If you really wanted a good community you'd require permissions like NeoGaf..Not saying you have to go full Gaf, but that 3 strikes policy is looking pretty good right about now..so thank you.


And no offense, but if Johnny wanted to have an affect on his fellow man, he would have left a long time ago..video games are a disproportionate representation of secular society yes, but they are still directly proportional in regards to their movement away from any traditional moral compass we SHOULD have been raised with. These points you raise, as moderators, and in your videos are good points; I commend you folks, and Carolyn especially. A firing brigade of upset teens may not cloud the scope of a proper editor, but you can't deny all of your words are carefully calculated to win over, ironically, a group of profoundly "muddled" youth. You've created this song, and now you're getting upset as to how people are dancing to it..it's not your fault entirely, certainly not your fault specifically DigitalDame..but one video on here, a post from a chief at IGN, a group speaking out at Kotaku...all of these things fall short and you know this; you also know words screamed through computer screens hold less water than a sieve.. they're all angel headed hipsters looking for an angry fix and in petty howls such as this, you've been found wanting much the same.

@Synthia If there solution is just banning all there members that disagree with them they won't have anybody left because it seems like the mass majority are against this BS feminent movement.

@Synthia Question, do those strikes come as warnings? I.e. a little orange message in the top right hand corner?

@EVOchamp2015 @RicanV @Synthia Actually no. I was defending the review. If you're going to say something, be factual about it. The comment I made was in reference to the placement of the words misogyny and politically muddled. If those were just touched on in the review instead of highlighted, the amount of freakouts would have been less.

I don't think that would be a good idea. Some mods delete comments for no reason and if you get a couple on a power trip then some people could be impacted wrongly. Just delete the comments but banishment is a little much.

It shames me to be a part of this community, and to be a gamer, after reading the comments made about Carolyn.

Let's face it, the people who went nuts over the score are just a bunch of antisocial people that don't have other things in life to worry about.

Great stuff Johnny. It's definitely the right time to make a stand and hopefully make people wake up to the fact they are getting all hysterical over a number that means nothing.

Gamespots review was good, all games have flaws even the best games of all time have flaws and its the duty of a critic to point out those flaws, I think its absolutely ridicolous how some reviews dont even mention single flaw and thats absolute bullsh*t. Atleast Gamespot managed to point out one flaw.

I agree with you on the personal attacks, etc. Johnny, good going. I do like this show though, it would be sad to see it end; maybe it just needs changing a little?

Hey Johnny, I just wanted to say that I couldn't agree with you more. I personally don't understand the need for people to attack the person just because they disagree with their opinion. This is not just what's wrong with gaming, but a big problem in the world in general. People need to learn that anonymity does not give you free reign to be a dick, and that basic human courtesy should be maintained by default. I actually find it funny that you thank the people that weren't being jerks, since that should be expected, and not something to be rewarded for. Anyways...I love this show and I would hate to see it go, but I understand that you gotta do what you gotta do. Good luck, and thanks for saying what most of us were thinking.

Couldn't have said it any better Johnny, the level of rage over a simple 9/10 score and Carolyn's opinion has been absolutely outrageous but will the negative feedback stop? No, probably never as there exists no efficient system built to counteract the entry of abusive and hateful comments poured into not just GS but the internet as a whole.

I'm not encouraging you to mention more deceitful comments but don't give up on this show! It's proper entertaining and perhaps if more constructive and positive comments were mentioned then perhaps people may stop and take note in the future.

@haze0986 It wasn't the review score it was her political opinion that set well this fiery inferno off.

Which their's nothing wrong with an political opinion and do please mention it in the review, but I wouldn't let that really factor in the score.

It would be like me ignoring any good things say that Dante Inferno does but say their's a few inaccuracies that personally offends me I give the game a 6/10. That's the stuff I disagree with in reviews.

@haze0986 @zerooo0 If you actually read the review instead of just the good/bad entries, you'll see that there were multiple reasons why the game wasn't awarded a 10. You should also know that games don't all start out as 10s and then lose points, they have to earn every point they get.

Gamespot, you can't claim 9 is a "great score" when you use it as the default rating for every single, beaten-to-death AAA game title. Every COD, Halo, Battlefield and Assassins Creed released every year gets rubber-stamped with a 8.5 - 9 without changing a damn thing. You guys made 9 average...don't blame us.

@tipsyfreelancer And maybe they give those games a good score because they are good games (though I don't like CoD but that's my opinion) compared to what other games get like in the 6 to 8 range....hence a number rating system.

@tipsyfreelancer I'd say Halo is the one that has changed the most out off all those games, The MP has changed a lot hence people always complaining about it and want the old Halo 2 MP back. If it was the same people would just complain that it's the same as 2.
