Sonnenberg Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 How did it get a higher score on this website than Skyrim? I admit this game is fun but is it a perfect score? No. My cars won't stay in any garage. Besides the heist missions every other mission is cookie cutter from the old games. I would give it an 85/100. It is a great game, but doesn't hold a candle to titles like Skyrim. I think the hype got to the game reviewers. Big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDragon Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 My cars won't stay in any garage. Don't forget how buggy Skyrim was when it first came out... it's the way it works with open-world sandboxes in general. I certainly agree that GTAV isn't perfect, but then again, neither was Skyrim. This, at least, has good pacing (at least 'till you reach the postgame and knuckle down for the 'collectibles') while Skyrim was... well, not particularly fast-paced, to put it bluntly. And besides, this game DIDN'T get 10's across the board. It only got a 6/10 for Achievements, seeing as they're mostly generic, annoying, or a combination of those, with a large bucket of them not even available yet because they're connected to the (probably unplayable for the first month) GTA Online component.

WalterWhite Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'll take disappearing cars over the laundry list of problems I had with Skyrim. My favorite of which being constant freezing issues. If you want to compare faults of a game and you're bringing up Skyrim, the only thing you can compare it to fairly would be another Bethesda game. They're in a league of their own when it comes to broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it's an excellent game, and i also agree that Skyrim is better, but you have to remember that reviews (most of the time...) are the opinion of the reviewer and maybe the person who reviewed it on this site liked it more than Skyrim.

You could survey ten different people about their experience with those games and get ten different responses. Which is a problem in itself.

I also waited 6 months for the glitches to be corrected before I started Skyrim. I had ZERO problems and only one glitched item in my inventory (that stupid amulet of talos) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where I think the reviewer let the hype get to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doktor Wilhelm Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Compared to games like Dead Space, Skyrim, Mass Effect ect the graphics are sub par. I believe that none of these games graphics are even on par with GTA IV, never mind V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmcgregor Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Opinion. Plain and simple. For instance two of my friends LOVE gta5. I on the other hand probably wont touch it again after I beat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're in a league of their own when it comes to broken. Man. Fuck Skyrim. The Dragonborn DLC was the most problematic for me. Those black book things that shifted you to different places or whatever...three different times I opened one, three times my 360 freezes up and crashes. I nearly threw my controller. I never even think about throwing controllers. I consider myself to be a very patient person. At least that game is out of my house. Not looking back. No regrets.

Dante XBA Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Skyrim>GTA V in graphics? No. Just no. As for the rest... opinion. Be fair and give GTA V 6 months to sort itself out like you did Skyrim and see how it's doing then. Double standards are a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LickableLemons7 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I doubt they'll have another review on Tuesday. If they do though...I'm sure Rich will write it. Yeah. "Online" is out this week, right? I wonder if this is a trend we'll see continue with major releases like GTA, or even Assassin's Creed/ Halo. I doubt Activision/IW/Treyarch would have that done with Call of Duty, or EA/DICE with Battlefield though. Nobody touches the singleplayer in those games, heh. Having a good estimate of what to expect in terms of clutter on Rockstar's servers with all these people getting hyped up for GTA V...smart move to push back the online portion so the launch won't be so screwed up and problematic (I think Max Payne 3 had some trouble if I recall). I think it'd be even cooler if Rockstar adopted a model where you could pay $30 just for singleplayer (and you'd only activate the singleplayer achievements and you wouldn't have to worry about multiplayer achievements if you wanted to go for the completion) or $30 just for the multiplayer.

Yupp, Tuesday October 1st. On my birthday I like this approach they took with SP/MP. I don't think other companies will follow this method, but since Rockstar produces Single Player heavy games with decent-to-fun MP, releasing the Online a few weeks or months later is a good idea so they can polish it and allow gamers to enjoy the story and game controls before jumping in on the hectic online play. Paying for each half would actually be a pretty sweet idea. Doubt it'll ever happen, but it's still a solid idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x JPeeper x Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Skyrimjob 2/10 GTAV 10/10 O-Pinion. Come on, Skyrim is at least a 6. Skyrim was the Diablo 3 of consoles, extremely disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenberg Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 People really think GTA V's graphics are good. That made me lulz Has anyone gotten to the monkey hallucination part yet? Ya, those graphics were real good..... right. Graphics in this game = 6/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya man but the graphics in CoD (any one of them) blow away GTA. Just look how the characters run in GTA. Looks like a sac of potatoes with legs.
