You got about 4-6 months to remedy that situation

Yeeeah people you can feel ok about "pretending that review doesn't exist" as some of the other media people in here are saying. It's not getting up in arms about a lower review, it's about ignoring someone who doesn't know what the hell they're talking about in games. That dragon age 2 review was a fucking joke that, at the time, felt like it was being paid off.
Lol, not this time, it's realityThis hyperbole is just as bad as the 7.5s.
The does nothing new but thats ok thing 10 anyway kind of gets on my nerves. People hated on 4 so I can only imagine the same will happen in a few months with 5 if the reviews are anything to go by.
"solid 25fps"
Depressing... I understand the hardware limitations, but playing such a gimped version of this first time is a hard pill to swallow.
Yeah somehow I doubt giving Dragon Age II a 10 has anything to do with a person's standards. Unless we are talking about ethical standardsMixed messages. If his Dragon Age 2 reviews implies that his standards are low/that he was bought (Right..) than wouldn't that make his 3.5 look even worse in GTAV's case?
This is absolutely a valid criticism. The game is reviewed as a whole. So that means, yes, story and character development is just as important as gameplay mechanics, graphics, and audio design.
IGN said:It’s worth mentioning that when it comes to sex, drugs, and violence, GTA V pushes boundaries much further than ever before. If the morality police were worried about Hot Coffee, there’s a lot here that will provoke moral hysteria. It’s deliciously subversive, and firmly tongue in cheek... but once or twice, it pushes the boundaries of taste, too. There’s one particular scene, a torture scene in which you have no choice but to actively participate, that I found so troubling that I had difficulty playing it; even couched in obvious criticism of the US government’s recourse to torture post 9/11, it’s a shocking moment that will attract justified controversy. It brings to mind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s No Russian mission, except worse, and without the option to skip over it. Some other stuff, like the ever-present prostitution and extensive strip-club minigames, feels like it’s there just because it can be rather than because it has anything to say.

Escapist's review is a perfectly legitimate take on the game.
That has zero value to anyone even remotely considering buying the game. Which, is... I mean it's fair enough. We know some people won't like it for the reasons in that review. As critique it has value, but... very very little. Because that critique isn't any more particularly interesting now than it was when Grand Theft Auto original came out.
That's why I'm waiting for it on PC. I have zero interest in dealing with eight year old technical shackles anymore, especially with next-gen consoles just two months away. I want to experience the game under the best possible conditions.

Found this Xbox vs PS3 comparison
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Nam3uneIzE0
To me they both look just about the same, xbox looks maybe a little more bright. I am getting the PS3 version tonight though.
I do find this video a bit biased towards the 360 due to the day/night lighting.
i couldn't get past the opening paragraph of polygon's review. it's awful.
With Grand Theft Auto 5, developer Rockstar North aspires to re-establish GTA as the most important video game franchise in the world, to further raise the bar, the budget, the breadth of experience of the big games
the big games
Thats quite a difference in lighting. Dif times of the day?
The graphics do suck in GTA V
While its probably the least groundbreaking GTA yet

Adam Sessler's review spouts some hyperbole and more literary references.
I believe he compares the player playing GTA V to Gulliver. Ya. But I love The Sess. Good review.

People need to stop using this logic 'cause it does not apply to every developer. Rockstar is the valedictorian of the gaming industry and this generation, and scores like this definitely don't look well on their transcript. A 3.5 out of 5 might be good for C average developers, but not Rockstar.

Metascore just changed:

Take GTA SA, put a 3 person twist on it, nice story, funny and memorable characters, amazing graphics and big detailed world with polished gameplay. You are not gonna be disappointed. Nobody will, it's not GTA IV.Yea this game like GTAIV is going to be hailed as the greatest game ever. Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me. Not saying it won't be great but i know a lot of people are going to say this similarly with IV. Still picking it up day 1 for sure
