GTA 3DS is a given!

Nah, 1 million on a 130 mill install base is terrible for GTA. It's done better in the past on PSP, which has a much smaller install base and worse piracy.

This was the highest rated handheld GTA and one of the highest rated handheld games this gen, so you can't blame the game itself .. it's obviously pretty good.

Reviews don't make a game good or give it mass appeal. I'm going to repeat what I've written elsewhere. It insults all gamers to claim reviews mean we should buy a game. It says that our own opinions are subordinate to reviews.

We didn't make the 3D GTA games huge hits just because they were called GTA, and ESPECIALLY NOT because they got good reviews.

So we CAN blame the game itself, as it's not the game that gives us the thrill of the other games.

No it doesnt. When will people learn the crutch of most reviews isn't "opinion".

Except most of them are. The problem is when the opinions really get away from what makes games appealing. GTA IV wasn't appealing for the immersive world that reviews touted. It was appealing for the same mayhem simulation that worked for the other games (CW was not the same kind of simulation, as the art style made it look like an indie flash game).

Plus reviewers docked points from NSMBWii for stupid reasons. How is that doing their job in the way you claim?

Plus this reveiwer outright admits most reviews are biased, and cannot reasonably be otherwise.
