what if...WHAT. IF....

....GTA V gets McShea'd? What would system wars as an entity do in that situation? Would you grab your torches and pitchforks and march on GS and demand McShea's body? Or would you just kind of shrug it off and just say "Eh, it's just McShea."? 

tbh, i think both have an equal oppurtunity of happening. would love to see the first one happen though. would be quite hilarious

anyways, what say you System Wars?

I'd lol, heartily.

If it gets a bad review from anyone but McShea people will be annoyed but still go "eh, it'll still be amazing" But if McShea gives it an 8. Wow. Just...wow. The whole site will explode.bobbetybob

I would stalk McShea, find out where he lives, purchase $1000 worth of toilet paper and throw it all over his house.

Then spam his inbox with hatemail.

Then steal his car and license, drive around downtown GTA-style, and act like McShea did it.

DISCLAIMER:  I really don't care.

That said, I don't consider a lot of McShea's reviews to be honest especially not when hes reviewing hype loaded games.  He makes it a point to go against the grain.  Its as if he decides ahead of time how he feels about a game.  He goes to great lengths to ignore positive aspects while magnifying minor nitpicks.

"Likes what you hate, hates what you like!"... Hes trying to tread the line between writing legitimate reviews and being purposefully controversial/sensational.  And it really just doesn't work, hes no Yahtzee.

As for the topic, I hope it does.  The resulting meltdown will provide many lulz.

I think they are going to keep McShea away from this one. This site will burn down and his life may be in jeopardy. FoxbatAlpha

Someone has to 6.0 for terrible reasons right? may as well be mcshea...

Noone cares about gamespot reviews anymore, people can pretend they do all they want because we use this forum but noone does. Gamespot lost the large majority of their good reviewers now it's it's just random people and reviewers like McShea gamers don't even relate with. 

Noone cares really.

The identity of the reviewer doesn't matter. GTA fans are known for being insecure about the quality of the games these days, so whichever major outlet gives it the lowest score is going to be drowned in hot angry tears.

As everyone is getting their panties in a bunch, I would just not give a crap.

My first reaction to seeing GTAV getting "McShae'd" would pretty much just be "oh geez, SW will surely be a riot now..."

the way i see it is, yes there can be differing opinions but there can't be contrasting opinions. for example, if one reviewer calls a game easy, but the rest of the reviewers call the game hard, i'm gonna assume that one reviewer either a masochist or just flat out lying. of course i'd have to play the game myself to in order to confirm that judgement mrmusicman247

I never thought anything was off about his scores.  Its the contents of his reviews are lol worthy.

Gta V would be called a male power fantasy and one of the negatives would be -Disrespectul to women, you can even have sex with them and run them over!

I'll just laugh it off and enjoy the hell out of the game. I enjoy reading reviews, but not the numbers assosiated with them.

The content of his reviews are usualy spot on. AI was a big problem with TLOU and kept it from perfection. Caro on the other hand...darkspineslayer

The content of his inFamous 2 review was rubbish though. Literally all the things he complained about were present in the first game, which he gave a 9/10.

I think the main problem with Mcshea is that he's inconsistent and that's just about the worst quality a reviewer can have. If he gives a game I like a bad or good score it doesn't matter to me. His reviews seem to depend on the kind of mood he's in at the time.

In any case, I'm not invested in GTA to any degree, but, as always, system wars will overreact to whatever happens to the scoring of that game.
