GTA V fans want reviewer fired for 9/10 review
GTA V is undoubtedly one of the biggest games of the current generation, and it's almost here (some already for others). As expected with every AAA game there are going to be reviews. But one particular reviewer is being targeted by upset GTA fans because of how she felt about said game. Despite her feelings about the game, she still gave it an amazing score of 9/10. Which is great! But apparently that wasn't enough for the army of angry fans, and they had started a petition (which has now been removed) to get her fired.

This is ridiculous.
I knew that there are fanboys, but this is much worse than that. When people start getting offended because of an opinion that just slightly differs from their own, things need to start changing. She said that the game was amazing and gave it a 9/10 but the army of butthurt twelve year olds had to come storming the internet and calling for her head. What's wrong with people?

Didn't that game come out yesterday or something? So people that just bought it are still on a hype high and haven't absorbed as much details as, oh, say someone who gets handed these games early and gets paid to give a review. Just sayin'.

Relevant.

Freedom of speech.

Edited by Cheesy: 9/17/2013 7:54:08 PMFrom what I've seen on the comments section of the review page, it's not because of the actual score, but the reasoning behind it. Reviews on Gamespot are supposedly supposed to be as objective as possible and a lot of people are pissed because in most of Carolyn's reviews, there is a definite undertone of bias that seems to irritate a huge amount of users. Go look at Carolyn's Gone Home review for an example.

Yea you have to admit something like this was bound to happen.
-
To keep my rage in check I have to think that at some point in the future the toxic bullshit will be drowned out by sane people who are sick of it.
-
Well I say these "fans" should be fired from life! they are cancerous tumor and should be cut out quickly.
-
Someone gave it a 7. Haven't they seen?
-
Yeah, that's low. I've seen the power of the Internet do interesting things (Hold the Line) but this is just an atrocity.
-
She should be making sammich's instead of reviewing games.

3 RepliesEdited by DiPolarPilot: 9/17/2013 7:34:28 AMTruly a sad day for all mature gamers... Of course if you look at the comments on GS and YouTube it quickly becomes clear that it's not [i]just[/i] because she only gave it a 9 (which is pretty much the highest score GS gives these days - I certainly can't remember the last game they gave a 10 to, just 9s and 9.5s). It's far more the fact she dared to comment that she felt the game had a misogynist undertone - cue the insecure, intolerant, childish misogynists beating a path to the comments section to hurl abuse at her, and anyone who tries to defend her... Oh well at least I won't be playing with these intolerant bigots...

I remember when an 8 was good
-
9/10 is a pretty respectable score. Not sure why people are getting mad.
-
Its pretty pathetic.
-
Nothing screams fanboy more when they want their game to be perfect and for every reviewer to give it 10/10.
-
Why do people feel the need to validate their enjoyment of a game? It smacks of insecurity, and it's just plain sad. I wish the wider gaming community wasn't brought down by these childish people.
-
The Metascore is 98/100. It's going to sell a bajallion copies. It is a good game. Who gives a -blam!-?
-
That's just silly
-
If anything, the reviewer from The Escapist should be fired for giving it a 7/10, the only reason why this isn't the highest-rated game of all time (it's tied at 98/100 with GTA IV). What a knob jockey.
-
Wait it was just a 9? Like 9.0? Isn't that lower than the others? If that's the case its over.... >GTAV confirmed for shit
-
Wow what a punch of Plonkers!

Edited by OptimusPrime 15: 9/17/2013 7:27:00 AMOh for god's sake. She can't give her honest opinion about the game? I've seen the review. There's nothing wrong with it. Screw anyone else who says otherwise. Regardless a 9 is good enough for someone to want to go out and buy a game.
