Wow, nice attack that had nothing to do with what I said, not to mention you missed the light hearted tone. You do single me out in threads, but I don't really care.

Oh now we're moving onto the victimization complex phase? And I love the whole, "I guess you couldn't tell I wasn't being serious when I said that, lol" cop-out. Face it windbane, you wouldn't be this upset if I wasn't right . You're really just trying too hard to be convincing.

Next time try leaving out the "Hahaha OH WOW!" expressions, it just reeks of bad acting and is a dead give a way.

This is a cute little game you are trying to play, but usually smileys and the sarastic tone of you being interested in my personal life should have been clues I'm not upset. In fact, you really amuse me. This new little trick of deflecting everything I say with this condescending gibberish, however, isn't so amusing.

I thnk the biggest giveaway was the comparison to Galaxy...that being a Nintendo game last I checked...

He's also apparently ignoring the plethora of other threads about THIS EXACT SAME TOPIC.

 I'll give it's likely he's a Nintendo fanboy, as I stated, but who is leading this backlash is irrelevant. It was coming anyway, and the Sony and Xbox fanboys will join in once the luster wears off. It's just the nature of whiners.


I suppose you are right that there will always be whiners, Doesn't mean it has to involve repeat threads, though.

Oh great, now we're onto the, "Fooled you! This has all just been a game to me so you lose for taking this seriously." defense.

Because you know, everything leading up to this post of yours doesn't suggest over-defensive desperation in the least bit, oh no, clearly you've been the one in control all along... Grow up Windbane.

Indeed, continue to provoke me rather than responding to the points I'm making, This is no "fooled you," it's a "you don't understand what sarcasm and smileys mean." I'll be sure to grow up like you.

Actually, I don't think there is a thread like this yet. There are some complaining about the scores. Some saying the scores are biased, an some discussing the differences between the versions. But one outright stating this game doesn't deserve it's scores? I think this is the first.  



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

I dunno, I guess if you want to get technical and say this thread was supposed to single out GTA, but it seems like the comment could have gone into the threads talking about review scores in general. If this game is overscored then it would seem to agree with the backlash that the reviewers don't know what they are doing.

How about I just start an official thread for bashing this game? I not only don't have the game, but I don't even have a 7th gen system, even portables. As we all know from fanboys, that makes me the most qualified to knock on the game.

Wow, enough complaints about GTA IV and how it was rated. Maybe, just maybe, every reviewer actually enjoyed the game so much, it deserved a 10. I've never seen so many people bitch about a game's review scores.
