GTA V has gone gold.

No. No it wasn't.

Compelling argument. Like it or not, the PS2 GTAs, while amazing experiences, have pretty mediocre base mechanics. IV was a giant leap forward in that regard. Now V is taking that foundation and building on it, bringing back and adding stuff that they couldn't before due to entirely new technology.
 
If you're projecting scores...

I'm definitely going in the 90s.

But, there could be some reviews that lower that score to the low 90s, and that add a caveat saying something to the effect of, "Until GTA:Online is released on Oct 1, we have to look at this as an incomplete game without an online mode..." Personally, I could see Polygon doing that and then re-evaluating and updating the score to mid-90s once GTAOnline is released (unless it has a Sim City like bomb, but I kinda doubt that... after 1 o 2 days I bet the servers will be fine).

So, let's say, if reviewers revise their scores once GTA Online is out ... I think reviewers may drop a 96+, maybe even a 98 on it. Not only because I think it'll bea great game, but because I think it'll be the swan song of this generation and they'll want to do that.

That would be a terrible metacritic score for a main GTA.

I think that since R* is saying they are different games, they should be reviewed separately.
 
I do hope some of the open world stuff from San Andreas and Vice City/Stories comes back. Buying property (which I know is in) and getting cash from your businesses, stuff like that. For me, that feeling of "taking over the city" was awesome and was really lacking in GTA IV.
 
I expect similar reviews like The Last of Us. Lots and lots of 10s.
 
It was more about expectations with some people when GTA IV came out. Many just assumed Rockstar could make IV include all the content from SA, even though they explicitly said it would be different.

A perfect example is RDR. It lacked vehicles, there's very little music in the game, 95% of the map is barren and you couldn't even swim. Almost no one dings RDR for these faults because expectations were very low.
 
Review scores are going to be interesting. I think reviewers will say it's a better game than IV (by all accounts so far it will be), but most won't be able to give it a better score than they gave IV because they gave that game 100%.

So: I could see V coming in slightly lower, even though most reviews will say it's the better game.
 
So since vigilante missions are confirmed i think they won't be as unrealistic as in previews games. Find the target and kill it. I mean you are the goddamn police. I bet it will be similiar to RDR where you could just catch the wanted guys.

I hope you can arrest people and put them in your police car and bring them to the office to get the money and earn respect, maybe then we can unlock some police stuff. Would be really cool.

Agreed, expect for a few people who didn't like RDR because all the missions were "Shoot these guys!"

If Grand Theft Auto IV has 98...then just imagine..BOOM!!; 100. Nah. Realistically, I´d say 99.

Then GTA 6 will be 100 and GTA 7 will be so good metacritic will explode.

Metacritic predictions?
I'll start with a 95.

I'm not sure how the critics are going to handle the unavailable multiplayer on release. I mean, I get why they delay it, I'm just wondering if it's going to have an impact on the scores, one way or another

YES!!
 
How are the apartments going to work in multiplayer? Will everybody live in the same apartment building and when you enter "your" apartment the screen just cuts to the inside of the exact same apartment and view that everybody else has?

There will probably be a few different appartement styles and locations to chose from but yes, I don't see how they could possibly make your appartement unique.
 
This has been painful...each day worst than the last..

This has been me daily...http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x13e96t_cartman-wants-gta-v-recut-fan-video_videogames

The game comes out the day after my birthday, I have the next three days off of work, I have a calender on my desk where I'm Xing out the days like I'm serving a prison sentence. I have a countdown widget on my phone...ugh

I'm playing through SR4 trying to pass the time, but the whole time I'm like...I wish I had GTA5 already. I have a bunch of plans the weekend prior to release for my birthday and I'm like who cares...just fast forward...FAST FORWARD DAMN YOU....I went from not giving a crap about the hardcover strategy guide to...well I need to stop at gamestop this weekend and pre order that too...

I don't remember being this hyped about GTA 4 and I keep telling myself...man its three weeks...that is nothing! Don't you remember when the delay was announced and you were like "omg...September is forever...oh well" That final week and last few days will be brutal.

I need to just take Ambien and sleep through it non stop. I'm even hyped about Buckethead's OT in 2 weeks...this is so sad lol

When Buckethead posted that he'd made his decision about the OT title, I thought for a moment that it was worth making a new thread to announce what it was going to be. New news and all. lmao.

LOL, I wish someone would do that.
But it's not worth it unless you want your account banned for whatever reason.
 
So does this mean there is no possibility of a next-gen version of this before the end of 2013?

That would really suck if that was the case.

Never say never but I doubt they are even going to announce it this year.

Then again, I don't think I've ever said anything right on GAF so you might as well just expect it to come out this year.

Look at it this way: maybe the game will be so much titties, and the wait long enough, that a next-gen double-dip will be a no-brainer.
 
It would have been awesome if players had their unique place/house in the area, and then people could choose to rob each others houses online, and you could defend it and call buddies over and such.

I at least hope for text chatting while hanging out at apartments. Why else should one invite people to ones apartment.
 
Fucking army, fuck! I will miss this game just like I will miss everything interesting until July 2014. I won't experience the PS4 launch, GT6, none of them. Shit! At least I can watch videos...
