Which begs the question; is the "But I played [insert ultra-violent title] when I was 10 and I'm fine argument" still hold up? Games have become much more visceral then their 64 bit counterparts.

agreed! a child too guarded from the real world, end up not being able to handle it.
I first played gta games when I was waaaaay under 18, and I'm as nerdy as they come. our media always look to blame video games for everything.
When it comes to visceral violence, games don't hold a candle to your average summer blockbuster film, yet nobody bats an eyelid at kids seeing those.
I know that feeling preordered back in January and still nothing

This is how you know that GTAV gets nothing but a ten from IGN.

Every time I have had release date delivery it ships on Monday. Amazon is very careful to prevent people getting it a day early.
Back then it was really easy separating games with the truth. Real life wasn't top-down...
I watched Robocop (as did so many kids) when I was 8. I highly doubt anything in GTA V comes even close to the levels of gore and violence in that film.

Can you drive in bonnet/hood cam view?
IGN will give GTA V multiple 10s, from their different offices, which count as different sites on Metacritic.
This video is cringe worthy.
"A gamer's wet dream"
Sounds about right, if those streams are anything to go by.
I expect a lot of tens, and not just from IGN.
It'll be 10's that it doesn't deserve...
Lol age ratings, I bet all of you were playing violent games when you were kids. I played resident evil 4 and san andreas when i was 10 (19 now) I mean come on you were not going to wait another 8 years or so to play the game you want and it did not turn me into some mass murderer.
Oh the real world is a world in which you become some insane criminal and murder people for fun? Sorry mate, but I don't think there are good arguments in favour of letting 11-year olds play a game like GTA V. It has nothing to do with the real world.
I feel like the box says the age and that is the only acceptable age, obviously kids are going to see GTA V somehow or another through the internet or whatever but I don't think the parents should allow it until they are of the right age.
96, I guarantee it
I think DukeBobby is keeping a running tally. 97 was my guess, too.
I think Fezzan has the right idea, it has to be 99 to keep the streak going on.
I don't see it getting a lower metacritic average then GTA IV. I'll say it'll break even. (98%)
Don't forget the 1 by a site who thinks they can single handedly kill a hype and try to gain buttloads of views with it. Which will probably succeed and then no one takes them seriously anymore. As if they already did.
Yeah, I'd be leaning that direction as well. Seems more likely.
No way we see a repeat of GTA IV, though.
omg spoilers i think i saw the box art for a second before i closed it
Which age exactly? M-Rated, which is 17, or 18 as it is in the UK? Are American children a year more advanced than English kids?
The ratings are a very loose suggestion, and nothing more. If a parent believes their child is mature enough to play GTA5, they shouldn't be shat on for that decision.
Guess I'll have to wait til Tuesday to know!
I 100% agree with this. No kid or teenager should be playing GTA IV or V.
Oh, you mean Tom Chick.
99. This game is 1 point short of perfect
There is also bound to be a heavily weighted sight that will go 8 or something.
... 19 is a teenager.
No of course not, but it is only a year and it won't hurt the kid to wait a year.
If parents want to let their 11 year old or 15 year old or whatever play M games I'm ok with that but they shouldn't really, it's got the number on the box and I think it should be stuck too.
Maybe I be added to the list? I think it's going to average a 96

Man I'm so pumped to read all of these reviews. It will make Monday go by much faster.
