Brother I am simply saying who cares about metacritic on a game you know you will buy and enjoy

Not possible in this day and age. This site has proven that for a WHILE.

You cause second the score is out you will post 17 paragraphs and nitpick every review to find the negatives and post obscure s*** like "this was the kinda thing i was worried about" despite never saying those worries in 2302 pages

Dear Allah let this get 89 on MC it would be so f***ing funny

It's more annoying on Steam lol. At least on here you can find a hive and nerd out.

I am playing the game more than talking about it . I could care less what score it gets on metacritic . Will be fun to point out cool easter eggs but discussion of design on the internet? I dont know if thats really worth while on an property this hyped. Same as when I have discussed V mechanics, mission design and story. People get emotional even when you directly know people who work on the game who can hear what you are saying that dont get emotional respect it take the feedback and understand. They literally potentially missed out on key moments of family life making the game and can discuss games as we do at game conference, at school, at game jobs.

Someone I worked with at Netherrealm was a producer on Last of Us 2 man. A studio is filled with people from various game companies who can shoot the s***. Its genuinely not that serious people be happy to be making games, making a salary and know what they accomplished

Astaghfirullah

"Dear Allah" for the dumbest s*** ever

Yeah like let's be fr. I don't think everybody is a yes man, and ppl like to hear genuine takes on what they created. Its art

It's a gta so it's getting a 98 minimum from critics

Wolverine i talked about mechanics. Here I have not seen enough gameplay to talk about mechanics. As long as they learn from constrained way to complete missions I am happy.

I have already said that and that has been addressed in previews as well as most of my concerns. If my concerns from V were not addressed in previews I wouldnt care to play this game at launch.

I'm definitely not going to be in this thread when this game is out. Bunch of f***ing idiots itt

I miss @ThaGTA2fan

Critics this critics that if they gave it a 0 all of you would still buy the game

Critic reviews only matter for s*** like wolverine not a gta game

Pointing out something about an overcritical industry and needing everyone to feel like me arent the same.

Im not gonna cancel my pre-order because the game got a 92 instead of a 98. But it's obvious the gaming industry is hypercritical of games. It's similar to how music reviews dont really matter anymore.

It's a part of a larger negative economy in the circle where hating on things is your job. It doesnt affect me, but i just think its odd that you're going to have this technical marvel thats going to get shredded to pieces online over the smallest minute things

This will be the first game to have only 10/10 reviews...trust...

But do you see how if its someones livelihood and they can hear varying opinions its crazy that someone who spends 60$ on something which is max 10 hours of minimum wage work is insecure ?

10 hours of someones life vs countless hours of a devs life and multiple years. If the sales are well especially . If the sales are trash , the reviews trash even if no layoffs do you realize how low morale is?

A working a game for mutliple years even 5 years of your life and even if no layoffs you keep your job you are in the credits of an absolute stinker and used your free will to make a game that the public hates

Imagine the staff of bethesda working on Starfield for 8 years of your life including pandemic years. Excited to drop it to get solid reviews. Low over sales have people trash it and immediately want the next game form you which you know is another 6 to 7 years out.

there arent many jobs where you can drop a 40-100 hour product for the consumer and they immediately say "yo this s*** trash try again " . Not even buy your product .

I can tell you the staff at netherrealm even with good reviews , record sales, some awards for accessiblity still entirely bummed by upper management handling of the live service part of the game, movelist being wrong in the game at launch, lack of scope

hearing management say "our competition isnt street fighter its Madden"

only to have street fighter be the better fighting game even if they lost in sales. Sales isnt all people care about . Review scores arent all people care about and take pride in.

Stop the count!

will be here to say its dope its really out but have always played a GTA in isolation of people in real life even when I was on gamespot forums

3, san andreas, iv, V

never really been one to stay in the loop of the conversation on the internet for a GTA game.

IV at launch people had many faults with some questioning if it was truly better than San Andreas it was a shock to many .

I genuinely do he was a good parody that helped liven the thread and was only hated by people who took clear jokes as seroius.
