this is the 12/10

the citizen kane, the godfather and the schindler's list of gaming

I pity games which are only the citizen kanes of gaming, GTAV has it all, its so glorious

No pulp fiction

No idea what im talking about

Game of the generation..

 

[FACE]

This thread is surprisingly tame. Keep it up guys, we may finally have a good review thread.

Wait until the first 7 or 8 drops.

 

[PureGone]

No 11/10, preorder canceled

Spanish website Meristation; 10

A masterpiece. If I had to choose one single game of this generation, this would be GTA V. It gets to be the most complete, deep, varied, comprehensive and fun of the entire series

[cleveridea]

weird, fave review sites in terms of fairness are eurogamer.net and games TM, hit and a miss (relative to IV reviews, ie a miss is a 9/10)

 

[schwabdizzle]

Polygon 9.5................they got it right.

 

[ironcreed]

So any game with online can be released as two different games? COD, the latest Battlefields, RDR, etc.?

There is an online world here with it's own story, most of the activities from the single player, plus your usual online modes. Quite a different animal than COD, and they even said as much. Saying that is it's own thing that will continue to grow.

Well, I've only had 5 minutes to begin trying to take it all in. I have to read this shit. I'm watching IGN's video review right now.

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Wouldn't bet against a lot of these 9/10s coming due to IV getting 10s.

Sadly, it looks like it. Proves that reviewers don't have the balls to stand by their words.

 

[TheContact]

Gametrailers gave it a 9.8. Not bad lol

 

[pharmboy044]

Wait, is t that tied highest score ever given by GT? Tied with GRAW 1?

Tied with The Last of Us.

 

[RPGamer92]

Gametrailers gave it a 9.8. Not bad lol

Same as TLOU

 

[codhand]

ok, so i finally read them all: 9, 9.5, 9, 10/10, 5/5, not sure what the words said but...

Is this the pinnacle of pinnacles?

 

[Interfectum]

Tame thread. Sterling didn't get the meltdown he was hoping for.

 

[Gammacide]

Destructoid: 9/10

 

[Jonboy]

Seriously can't wait for the GOTY videos and discussions. GTA v.s. The Last of Us

 

[Hot Coldman]

Metro - 10/10

http://metro.co.uk/2013/09/16/grand-theft-auto-v-review-the-ultimate-gta-4027404/

Oh SHIT. Last 10 I saw from these guys was Super Mario Galaxy 2.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

IGN Error in praising GTAV.

No other world in video games comes close to this in size or scope

 

[Fjordson]

I'm actually a little shocked. Some of these scores are higher than I expected.

 

[Nozem]

So, it's a pretty good game. Who'd have guessed?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

GTAIV 98 metacritic never in any danger

better luck next time, Rockstar

[oti]

Are you happy now, internet?

 

[Karak]

huh

Jezuz man. I edited that like 1 second later ha.

This is a shame.

it was. Some insanely frustrating moments. Genuinely angry at times. You could foresee a scripting moment coming a mile away at times which is sad because the sandbox stuff was insane.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Several 9/10's???????

OMG!

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

The Naughty Gods might have beaten Rockstar this time around??

I want to get GTA5 BUT knowing there is a PS4 version coming and having a backlog already as big as my 750GB PS3 can contain makes me wonder should I just wait it out?

 

[northead]

10/10 by EDGE? Whoa.

 

[AOC83]

Eurogamer : 9/10
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-09-16-grand-theft-auto-5-review

So GTA V is about as good as Lego City Undercover?

 

[Mt Heart Attack]

Jesus GTA does it again, only game to get a 10 from Edge and Games TM

On top of my mind, Super Mario Galaxy 2 did it too.

Just read Edge's review by the way, it sounds like all I wanted this game to be. Hype.

 

[SexyFish]

Most of the reviews seem to say that the narrative isn't perfect, but the gameplay is great. Looking forward to Tuesday.

One of the few I care about! Good to hear, gonna be fun to watch their QL.

[PK Gaming]

Missions are graded depending on completion time, and the fulfilling of optional objectives, and each one may be replayed at any time for a better score. If you fail a part of a mission three times, you also get the option to skip at in exchange for a lowered mission grade. While some may lament this "casualization" of the series, I consider it one of the best things to come to GTA. Open world games regularly suffer from "that one mission" syndrome, that one thing that hamstrings and gets in the way, or a mission type that drives them wild. Being able to sidestep that one infuriating helicopter sequence or hated street race is a nice security option -- and nobody's forcing you to take it.

Best GTA game

 

[ironcreed]

Tied with The Last of Us.

Obligatory:

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

Wait, is t that tied highest score ever given by GT? Tied with GRAW 1?

The highest score they have given in the last 4-5 years. Their GOTY has been confirmed.

 

[FullMetaltech]

How is satire of our own society not satire? wat

I dont get that either. Its done on sketch comedy bits all the time but for a videogame its a bad thing.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

It kind of does make me laugh when reviewers jump on hype trains and score something like GTA4 higher so far than this one when this clearly looks much better so you would think that by that virtue alone we would be seeing a slightly higher average.

I'm pretty excited to play this and can't wait for the online to go up and will enjoy the SP for a couple of weeks.

 

[Ostinatto]

IGN Error in praising GTAV.

what about wow?

 

[jschreier]

Sadly, it looks like it. Proves that reviewers don't have the balls to stand by their words.

Or maybe it proves nothing, because review scores mean nothing, and you should really stop caring about them.

Eurogamer.de : 10/10

[Derrick01]

So we have that one place mentioned here that said the missions are too scripted and I'm reading Kotaku's review now where Totillo mentions it's probably the least linear game of the series. (Also ~75 story missions)

I guess I'm just going to have to wait to play it to find this stuff out.

 

[heliconsoul]

So GTA V is about as good as Lego City Undercover?

Why would you do this. Lawd.

Excellent reviews, hyped now.

Wait for PS4 version, I was disappointed by graphics those trailers were deceiving

 

[Gangxxter]

Most of the reviews seem to say that the narrative isn't perfect, but the gameplay is great. Looking forward to Tuesday.

This worries me a little bit :/ I play GTA mainly because of the story.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

The GB review does surprise me a little.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

That's too sensible.

 

[Jibbed]

"As we stand on the brink of a new generation, GTAV sends an intimidating message to the rest of the industry. Beat that."

Woah.
