If GTA 5 got a 7.5 or a 8....would you call it a flop?

topic

Yes. Close thread.

Would be the flop of the gen, everyone's hyping it to be a 10/10.

in system wars, assuming it's hyped 9 or more

If it didn't meet the hype, then yes.

Absolutely a flop if it gets a 7.5 or an 8.  Lets be realistic the last couple GTA's were 8.0's anyway but they always get at least a 9 if not greater.  If GS came out and actually gave it a 7.5 that's more like a 5, it'd be a total flop

GTA5 being an 8 would be a flop, but a very good game

tbh, even a 9 would make it a flop with all the hype its been getting.

also, carolyn petit is probably going to review gta5 as she usually reviews rockstar games and open world sandbox games.

I would say yeah cos the hype will be about a 9

unless a certain reviewer on gamespot reviews it

the score would indicate so. its not going to deter me from buying it

7.5-8.0 is a great score.

However, for games like GTA, huged hyped up games, it doesn't work like that. I've heard reviewers talk around it etc, but for a game with the level of hype that GTA has, it has to be straight up garbage to get that kind of score. Or at least, MASSIVELY disappointing, compared to what people were expecting.There have been so many games this past generation that where hyped up, or sequels in long running successful franchises that got scores around there, and were absolutely terrible and I completely regret wasting money on them. Like how bad was Dragon Age 2? that is a 5.0-6.0 type game if it was a new ip made by some random developer. But because its made by bioware, and is called Dragon Age 2, sequel to a good game, its given the benefit of the doubt and given a good score. I could name a lot of other examples this generation but w/e

Franchises like GTA are reviewed differently than other games. Thats just how it is.

I think itll be a pretty good game, which means around 9.5 with the level of hype it has.

It won't, it'll get a 6.5.

Assassins Creed 4 will get a 10/10 though.

No shit!  What a stupid question.

It won't. 10/10 GOTYTheDidact

im 90% sure that gta 5 will get a 9.0 - 10. even gta 4 got a 10 which it only deserves 8.5 - 9.0

I imagine alot of people are going to bitch and cry about the score like they did with the last of us review.

Which is about why I don't buy my games based off of someone else's opinion I already preordered GTAV off of Amazon, so not going to matter what score it will get.

All that matters is if it meets the official SW hype. Speaking of which, is there an official hype thread? With score poll?

It would be a flop but no one would really care since it's not exclusive.

I thought games are flops if they don't sell well?blangenakker

This.

Also dat sig

Nope, SW would but personally I never thought highly of GTA games, always thought they were wildly overrated.Spartan070

This a thousend times. Specially GTA IV, what terrible game.

This thing will be a flop if it gets a 10.sammyjenkis898

GTA V is hyped AAA, though people wouldn't be too surprised if it scored AAAA.

Rockstar North has yet to score below a 9.6 on a GTA game when it first launches - GTA V could score 9.0 or 9.5 but it wouldn't be a flop.

AA or A, and yeah it would be a flop. Big one, lowest scoring GTA ever.

I think with GTA5 being such a huge title that anything less than 9/10 would be considered a flop! Alot of people on this forum from what I've read are expecting this game to be the best of the year, or even the best of the generation, and anything less than a 9 would prove that the game hasnt really lived up to that hype.

It would absolutely be a flop as its very clearly being hyped AAA.

Will still be an epic game though.

No, but if it scored a 75 or 80 on Metacritic then yes

7.5?  Not a chance in hell.
