All youtube is playing GTA V. Everybody I'm subscribed is playing it. Well, I'll stop watching videos for a couple of weeks.

By the way, I have the game and it's awesome.

Yeah. It's awesome. The reviews though....gaming journalism at it's finest. Incredibly overrated.
Looking forward to multiplayer though.

I know what you mean. I know that GTA is a really big thing and "everybody loves it" but why perfect scores all around? You're telling me that there is nothing wrong with the game? No bad controls, weak characters, lose camera, or useless missions? Wow, we do have a perfect game. Sorry everyone, we can't have any more games, this is clearly the best we are ever going to get.
GTA always gets the best scores and I really don't know why. Have I played the games? no. Will I play them? maybe someday.

Completely agree. GTA is in a no way a bad game and I mean that in the second definition. It's a game that's had years of production and it delivers. Whether people like or not is another topic, but it's not a rushed lazy game. It's good well made game, BUT...nah fuck.
Fuck IGN.
That's all. Gaming Journalist all being paid off to write positive reviews instead of focusing on the negatives. No I'm not joking either.

It's nearly insulting how obvious it is that IGN has been "paid off"(I can really say paid, but it's more of an under-the-table transaction):
(all you have to do is click on the link and quickly skim it to see the insane bullshit)
They had previews
Special interviews
Guides already up before the games release
Every single news about GTA has been reported on
The website is filled with their GTA V adverts
They advertised GTA V merchandise as the game launched.

Obvious PR advertising


That's professional gaming journalism these days. A massive circle jerk.
100/10/A+/5 etc
There's plenty of obvious problems with GTA V.
