While all these fanboys crying is ridiculous and while 90 is a great score, the reviewer's argument for not giving it something higher is stupid.
She didn't complain about the gameplay or graphics or something else. She complained about the game picturing the life of gangsters who have little to no respect for women. For a game like GTA V to have characters who respect women would be contradictory, not to mention that I suspect the way the game depicts women is probably a way for the game itself to criticize society.
Probably, given her situation about her gender or whatever (it that's even true), she's a biased feminist and probably a close minded one, and probably missed the whole point of the game. When I watch a review I expect an unbiased opinion. So yeah, just my two cents.

I hear this a lot about GTA but I suspect it's people giving Rockstar WAYYYY too much credit as they shamelessly cash in on glorifying a criminal lifestyle. If they were that against the lifestyle they portray, it seems a bizarre choice employing ACTUAL criminals to voice their characters.

GTA merely uses characters who come up through crime and reflect on the world around them. It's a political and social satire on the world we live in. Well, at least after GTA 3 it started to do that. It an exaggerated mirror of society, through the eyes of vandals and thieves. Have you ever seen Pain and Gain? Kind of like that. It's meant to be ironic. If you grew up in the 90's Irony was the main focus of most of the shows. They were comedies satiring the world we lived in. The Simpsons, Family guy, South Park...they grew out of a dark reflection of the society we live live because as outrageous as they are there is a great truth.
If you missed out on the concept of what the last GTA was focusing on was the "American Dream" with Niko. This GTA's topic is supposed to be about the current day with the social downfall of America post economical collapse. I can't wait to play it but I have to wait until Friday.
