With this game costing about 265m dollars I am not surprised of the moneyhats.
Also, why do I always have the feeling that this game always receives so much 10s across the board only because of the technical achievement and giant scope of the game?
Months later you always look back and shake your head about it because the story and narrative are cringe-worthy and the violent, conservative, macho, sometimes rascist and misogynic attitude of the game are despicable. Especially now the graphics this generation make it less cartoony (like last generation) and more realistic.
Although this is my personal opinion. I respect every other one's opinion.
So you're saying Wonderful 101 is a better game than GTAV?

Do NOT feel free to:
- Make drive-by posts complaining about low scores without and input on the review
Sessler writes amazing reviews. Period.
I think they mean games that have arrows appearing overlayed in the game world to show you where to go. But if you listen to the bombcast a lot, you can see it as Jeff reaching real hard because they like to joke constantly that Rockstar develops in a vacuum and does not take notice of any other games (which maybe true) so with this view firmly in his head he goes into the game reaching for that stuff.
Sure there are some good and quality games, but not one game comes close to the quality of gta 5. Not even near. It's like uncharted 2 of open world games.Every..single..time with GTA. I am depressed how this industry has come. Really there are also other good and quality's games but this is so mutch hyperbole and they don't get mutch attention then only GTA. I am not falling in that rockstar trap again. Escapist review is pretty honest but that's about it really.
Sessler says "it may not be the biggest map in a gta" or something like that. Is that true? Seems more massive than anyone I can remember.
What are the best subjective, technical reviews? I want to hear what people think about controls and image quality, not how they feel about playing as a psychopath.

The Escapist review makes me more interested to play the game. If anything I was tired of GTA main characters forced into subservient roles for most of the game because the developers couldn't think of how to make missions work without having the character run chores for other people. Niko was one of the worst because he spent the whole game claiming to want to get away from being a violent man while killing hundreds of people.
Hearing that the main characters are doing what they're doing because they want to instead of having some hokey narrative reason as to why they're forced to (I mean there's only so many times you can use revenge or familial obligations) makes it sound like they fixed one of my few nitpicks of the series.
I'm not a big fan of IGN, but I am a fan of Keza's reviews. This was another good one (referring to the content of the review, not the score).
Good scores. Not surprised though.
GTA IV also had great scores. And that game turned out to be pretty mediocre in my opinion. Had way more fun in RDR and SR3.
So I learned my lesson last time. I will not be buying this based on these reviews. I'll wait for impressions from other neogaf posters. I know with GTA IV there were many people on here that I agreed with regarding the game. In neogaf I trust.
From the GB Review:
"As other open-world games push forward in ways that make things like traversal more convenient, GTA forces you to look at the minimap for your turn-by-turn directions."
I need to know what this means in the context of a game with taxis, various methods of public transportation, a stronger plane focus than ever, and the greatest variety in vehicles (and raw numbers) thus far. Do they expect SRIV super powers? What is the solution here? Obscuring on-screen arrows and traffic direction?
Some games do kind of fade a while after you've finished them, though.When Sessler loves a game he REALLY loves a game.
Bioshock Infinite.. TLOU and now this. Somehow he manages to outdo his Sessler-ness each time.

No way is this a 10. I bought this and wonderful 101 and I can't wait to play 101 again yet look at the difference in reviews. I know reviews and my impressions are about opinions but In terms of what will be enjoyable to play in years to come there's no comparison.
I wish the game had a language filter, then I might actually pick it up, as it looks like it might be a good amount of fun, but as is I have to agree with the review that talked about only being able to handle #$!$ mother !#$% so many times.... That is just annoying.

If you're into out-of-control hyperbole. Sure.
I can tell you about hunting. There is a side mission for it where you need to hunt deer for money and completing challenges. You hunt using whistle, stealth and sniper rifle and need to snap photo of every kill.Could someone please point me to a review that touches on the outdoor activities in great detail? Preferably the hunting stuff. I don't have the time to go through all of those reviews while at work.
Good scores. Not surprised though.

Half of this game won't be unlocked for another two weeks.
Sure..if you believe that, i will wait for the impressions of gaffers and what not.
Are you referring to GTAV or W101? Details?
Just play it yourself, don't wait for impressions. Are reviews impressions any different from simple folk here? Not reallySure..if you believe that, i will wait for the impressions of gaffers and what not.
Sessler's review is hilarious. I get that you like the game man, but dial it down a notch. Comparing the housers mediocre as fuck writing to dickens is the new oscar worthy, i think.

I fully understand what Sessler was going for. I think people are confusing his statement with him comparing GTAV to classic literature and he's really not. He's saying GTAV could very well be used as a case study into what 20XX life was like in a similar way that classic literature can be used to do the same for that time period.
Makes sense to me. People in 2250 will see GTAV and be able to pick out the pop culture references and the things the game touches on (NSA spying, tech, etc) that was popular today.
I find it slightly funny that GTA IV got 10s from the same sites which have given GTA V a 10 even though GTA V is apparently better than IV in pretty much every conceivable way. Shows how ridiculous review scores have become.
There has already been plenty of impressions in the OT from people who got the game early. Every single one has been incredibly positive, including one from a notoriously critical poster.
