GTA IV scored higher than any Mario game with a 98 on Metacritic. As far as I'm aware, only Ocarina of Time has scored higher with a 99, but with far fewer reviews.
I wonder if we will finally see an end to the issue of repeating cars. It will be even worse with the increased traffic volume if 60% of said traffic is composed of the same SUV in varying colors.
Weekly sales down for every console except the Xbox One and Xbox 360. Interesting.
I really dig the art style.
I prefer games about not jumping.
Will have to consider trying this out.
Never would have guessed that!
This is a completely unfair comparison. Sleeping Dogs is not even in the same league. GTA V is ridiculously polished and has absurdly high production values that almost no game can match. I know everyone loves to root for the "underdog" but GTA V is far superior to Sleeping Dogs in virtually every way possible. Of course with the exception of the fighting mechanics, which are the main focus of SD.
Maybe he's trying to win this:

You need strong third party support, which Nintendo is severely lacking, to back up the exclusives. Last gen Nintendo got away with it because of the whole motion control fad. But when 90% of the big third party releases are not coming to your console, then it doesn't matter how many exclusives you have, because it won't be able to match the other consoles' lineups.
Why was the PS2 so successful? Third party. Why was the Xbox 360 so successful? Third party. No GTA...
Wouldn't this be sloppy thirds? Sloppy seconds would have been the PS4 version that came out months after the original PC release.
As much as the 360 and PS3 held back GTA V, it still looks pretty freakin' incredible on that old hardware and better than most current gen games, in my opinion.
And GTA V on the new consoles is nothing. Just imagine a GTA game built from the ground up to harness the power of the PS4/XB1. I can't even imagine how incredible that will look. Hopefully we don't have to wait until 2018!
Although, I imagine a new Red Dead will be Rockstar's true op...
GTA V already looks better on last gen consoles than Watch Dogs does on current gen, in my opinion.
Far Cry 4 was easily my favorite game at the Sony press conference. It looks incredible and I can't wait to get my hands on it. And ride a ******* elephant!
"Average at best" sounds pretty underwhelming to me.
There should be more footage at Sony's conference.
From the article: "If you have played with GTA V on PlayStation 3 or on Xbox 360 you already know that there are plenty of glitches, bugs and even texture problems in the game"
I could not possibly disagree more with this person. GTA V is the most bug-free open world game I have ever played. And it's one of the largest in scope and ambition. I'm actually astonished by how bug-free the game is. They clearly spent ages polishing and refining. I can't think...
More like a billion, but yeah!
It's taking the realistic approach and also has a course editor. Looks pretty cool:

Sounds very interesting.
