Flop is a harsh word and should only be reserved for the true flops like last of us.

People aren't compaining about the score. The problem is the reasons behind the score.

Personal biases like feminism shouldn't affect a professional review, especially when the reviewer isn't really a woman. If I don't like Japanese games, should I give FF7 a 1/10 or not review it at all?

So what is she then? I'm confused about this, I never asked because I wouldn't want to be hurtful towards her.

I'd be extremely careful about your choice of words. Moderators have been banning people specifically for saying that transexuals aren't women. They consider it ban-worthy in terms of offensiveness. I'm not sure why. Maybe the mods are pushing the agenda too? It's politically incorrect at best, but can be chalked up to ignorance - I mean, are people supposed to know that it's offensive to say that women and transexuals aren't identical?

If you don't like JRPG's you have the right to give it a 1/10.  

Get over it.

Thanks for the link, now I know the deal.

It doesnt invalidate the review in my opinion. I dont believe it to be inconceivable that a woman can be trapped in a male body. The simple fact that a person would go through the ordeal of physically altering their façade to better match their interior reality is enough proof for me not to doubt where that person is coming from. My opinion, dont shoot me :)

The map that comes with the game shows lots of detail in the city area, then the rest of Los Santos if full of empty mountain ranges and a lil desert. They got lazy with this one, San Andreas and even Vice City had more city.

Personal bias in reviews is unavoidable - ie they are the ones who should get over it because it's a battle they are going to lose. 

My concern may actually lead to change, thus my concern has the ability to be "got overed" for a given person.

GTA V looks a bit disappointing to me in some aspects after looking at GTA IV.

 

After looking at videos on youtube the physics seem arcadie which is one of the main reasons why GTA IV was so good, that and damage, collision damage in GTA V is like a 99.9% step back from GTA IV, its just so disappointing to see such great features be removed in the sake of graphics optimization. 

I really hope this game comes to PC, we all know even if some of the shortcomings don't make it in the final release, at least there will be mods that will fix them.

You HAVE to be joking! GTA4 was a massive letdown, boring and metallic. The collision system and controls sucked. But i guess every game needs a resident hater, you'll do for GTA5.
