Why? Just WHY!?

[I Punch Pensioners]

 

After following gtaforums for a few months now I can no longer bite my tongue so felt compelled to create an account while I wait on the Online issue resolving. Can somebody please explain to me why almost every single topic on this site is a direct critisism of this amazing game? Seriously, you waited years for GTA V and it MORE than delievered. Its a technical masterpiece and one of the best games ever made. And yet this site is absolutely riddled with 12 year old mentally ill children literally rolling on the ground in tears over the most minor of issues. Grow up and get a life. If youre not happy with the game, go and play saints row. Ungrateful, spoiled little idiots.

 

There's some mature threads, and there's some troll threads, but not everyone criticizing the game is a 12 year old whiny brat. Sometimes the criticism is needed to improve on something. Like for example: The sensitive cops, and AI, that's something that needs looked at. We are fans too, just because we have a different opinion on things, doesn't make us any less than fans.

 

Now to the part about you calling them mentally ill, how can you say that when your spelling is atrocious? You seem like the mentally ill one here.

 

And what does Saints Row have to do with the complaints?

 

It's almost impossible for a game of such beautifully vast scope and detail to be completely free of bugs/minor issues. The overall package of GTAV is an incredible achievement and bitching about minor trivial issues in the grand scheme of things is just utterly pathetic and childish. It's fair enough to bring up some of the more serious issues so they can eventually be ironed out by patches, but my original point was the unneccessary overwhelming amount of negative topics on this site, like literally 9/10 posts are criticizing an amazing game.

 

I wasn't aware of typo's and irrelevant spelling mistakes equating to mental illness. Although I suppose technically dyslexia is considered a form of mental illness in some form. I can't be bothered debating anyway I just had to get this off my chest earlier when I had nothing better to do. Peace!

The fanboys gotta be trolls. this game is great but far from perfect of course there's gonna be criticism

[QuietSundayLibrary]

I'll just blame Call of Duty, I will give no reasons whatsoever. The answer is COD

 

I blame the gross sense of entitlement within the 15-30 year-old contingent enabled by a society more content with immediate appeasement than hard work, patience and humility.

And you create an account just to bitch like the ones you mention because oh boo hoo you like the game and no one should disagree with your opinion? Great.

"You waited years for GTA V and it MORE than delivered" - don't you think this is kind of subjective, as in people have different opinions and points of view about what they were expecting? And let me add that I friggin' hate what Saints Row became. It's a joke, just like most things that have/had "THQ" slapped on them.

OP is another velvet panties wearing crybaby ass fanboy taking criticism personal. People criticize GTA V because they can because they are CONSUMERS. I know it's hard for anti-consumer pro-developer fanboys who are loyal to Rockstar but disloyal to the consumer fanbase to understand, but when people buy something they get to say whatever they want. And you same dickhead fanboys crying about what other fans say about GTA probably have complained about other products within the last year. Am I lying? In your entire life, you mean to tell me you've never criticized any product or service you've ever received? Yeah I thought so motherf*cker, so let the same rules of consumer criticism apply to GTA.

 

Dudes always getting upset as if they have some financial stake in the game, man sit your ass down on the couch like everybody else. You're not special, you're not a Rockstar employee, you're just another guy. Dude, you don't even make money off GTA, let other people say whatever the f*ck they want, what's it to you? And then he mentions Saints Row, typical fanboy sh*t to rag on another game for no reason as if people cant play both GTA and SR. Motherf*cking fanboys remind me of cult members with their exclusive mentality. SMH at broke ass dudes not making money of GTA but defend it more than Rockstar employees do. I like GTA 5, but unless or until Rockstar start sending me checks in the mail or start paying my bills, it aint my f*cking job to go to war with other GTA fans for them.

They delivered. In spades. What they didn't "deliver", however, was the ability to facilitate and placate the grandiose expectations many erroneously placed upon a current-gen title. It's akin to expecting to produce actual gold from pyrite.

It took me like literally 30 seconds to set up an account and maybe 2 or 3 minutes to type out my original post. I did think afterwards about the irony of me complaining about complainers but it had to be said. Being gtaforums one would be safe in asuming that the vast majority of site members are fans, and yet all I've observed is overwhelming criticism towards the game. I just don't quite comprehend it that's all. I may be dwelling on it too deeply but it reflects how petty and pendantic society is nowadays, nobody is ever content...With anything. Such spoiled wee brats.

I started out on a C64. Gaming has been in my blood for 25+ years.

 

Games of this scope and quality are pretty rare.

 

Most of the critics are of an unmature age. A lot of the humor is completely wasted on them and they don't understand why Trevor (for example) really does the things he does, or why Michael needs to settle the score internally, and not just for everyone else. It's a deep game. Lots of people miss that. But then again..........they are underage.

 

Other critics, as a whole, are minor. The game has more praise than hate. Overall GTAV is a blooming success.

 

As an overall experience the game is fantastic because it shadows and parodies real life events, all with the Rockstar twist.

 

GTA V is not all about fast cars, blowing stuff up, and going to strip clubs........

 

it's the long drives, listening to old songs, hanging out with the protagonists and maybe stirring up a little trouble (nothing too serious - good times).

 

Technical issues will gradually be resolved. Online is hit and miss but Rockstar have time to get things right.

This is true, the vast majority of the people who are so called "complaining" about the game really aren't complaining per se, they are criticizing and analyzing the game, which is different. Consumer criticism is when you are trying to improve the condition of a product, complaining is when you whine without a purpose. Fanboys fall under the description of whining without purpose because they whine and attack other fans for criticizing the game which benefits no one. These clowns go around starting civil wars with the rest of the fanbases just because other people dont believe in their cult of GTA Perfection. At the end of the day, their complaints really serves no purpose because they aren't improving the product. Infact, they are anti-consumer and a non-asset to the rest of the fanbase, they stand in the way of improvement and advancement. GTAForums needs to make these fanboys their own forum, called the "PERFECTION CULT" so that their useless asses can stop harassing the "regular" fans.

[Smith John]

This forum has been completely ruined by these little kiddies.

 

I remember the days of the Vice City + San Andreas releases. Back then there was nowhere near this level of pathetic whining, as not as much spoiled little brats had access to the internet back then. Those peaceful and civil days are long gone sadly.

 

I'll just blame Call of Duty, I will give no reasons whatsoever. The answer is COD

 

 

That absolutely terrible, boring, repetitive franchise has turned this new generation of little kids into mindless, un-appreciative little brats. How can you expect them to have the attention span to appreciate a game like GTA when all they do is spend hour upon hour doing nothing but running around shooting each other.

 

Rockstars parody of 'coll of dooty' was perfect.

The truth lies somewhere in the middle.

 

Not everything is perfect with the game, there are minor niggles and bugs that have pissed people off. Yes you are entitled to complain about a product that you paid good money for, and you don't feel it met your expectations, and if you feel that strongly, you can always ask R* to refund it (forget about standard disc media law, if you can prove the product isn't fit for purpose or was falsely advertised, you're on to a winner).

On the other hand, no other developer has taken on such a challenge, given so many hours of great gameplay or delivered so much content for the current gen that you have to make some allowances. There is nothing on the market to compare it to. I'm sure a lot of the people complaining about the game bought one of EA's annual releases with minor improvements, for the same cost as GTA V last year, this year and will again next year.

The saving grace about it all, is that it was released by a dev team that not only listens to its users, but implements changes the community wants. There is no way R* will walk away from this, even though they already took enough cash to develop GTA VI just for themselves if they so chose, and still be in profit - and you have to be thankful for that.

[crisissasix]

So we buy the game, pay US$60 or more, but we are not entitled to criticize it. Nice logic.

Christ, dude, chill out a wee bit? Let me just say I pretty much agree with everything you've just wrote, although it could have definately been worded nicer haha. No need for a personal beatdown, I'm a nice guy honest. I'm not even remotely "fanboy" , I was just venting off some steam earlier at how spoiled and pathetic a lot of people on here sound. For the record, I have never engaged in any sexual activity with my mother. Peace.

[Dirty_White_Boy]

If they had allowed us to buy every mansion on the Avery website and had more interiors in the world then alot of these complaints would go down, every since San Andreas they have just stripped away all the fun side activities

Just gonna leave this here:

It would help if the criticism was constructive and articulate, rather than a string of non-sequitur ramblings, written in the style of a dog with Down's Syndrome.

 

It's OK to be disappointed, and it's OK to be upset, but just screaming nonsense is going to attract a negative response. If people can actually form a reasonable post that amounts to more than shouting "I ARE UPZET ABOT DIZ STUFFS" then those of us that are enjoying the game are more likely to take them seriously and try to engage in an actual discussion.

 

Sadly, as the OP points out, it's just incredibly negative rants that don't articulate the problems well.

[TaCtiCaLTommy]

Dude, people will complain about anything they possibly can. And yes, a lot are children, but some are grown ass men, just sad. It doesn't matter how good a game is, someone will always always always always complain about something.

 

 

 

 

Always

[Azrealzim]

Wow you have a different opinion to me Ill assume your a child then to prove I am more mature and intelligent then you I will resort to calling you things like bitch douche or belittle your age to well lets make it 12 this behaviour by far confuses me more then anything on this site.

There will always be kids who speak "baloney" and my job is to get rid of them, one at a time.

I only bought gta v for online

story,characters were better on gta iv

Name one character from IV that was better than Trevor.

"Its another day here in the forums.."

[Matta G]

No doubt, there is a lot to love, and a lot to find fault with. As far as the latter is concerned, though, find me a game that doesn't have its issues.

 

Just a bit about me personally - I do part-time tutoring for various high school and college admissions tests. For reading comprehension sections, one tip I give my students: on inference/drawing conclusion type questions, ALWAYS eliminate the "extreme" answers, as they are incorrect 99.99999% of the time.

 

I find the same to be true with video game opinions. Anyone who says the game is totally, completely awesome, the greatest game of all time, yada yada yada is full of it. Anyone who says the game is broken, R* only cares about money, it sucks because you can't enter many buildings, yada yada yada is full of it as well.

[Bomberlegend]

technical masterpiece? lol that's why it doesn't even work.and we haven't been given a finished product, that's a perfectly valid complaint. they promised we would get multiplayer TODAY. have we been given multiplayer? no. false advertising from R* there.

False advertising for a free product.

 

sh*t, better return it!!!

[Big_L91]

if its not people whining about the game its people whining about people whining about the game.

and we haven't been given a finished product, that's a perfectly valid complaint. they promised we would get multiplayer TODAY. have we been given multiplayer? no. false advertising from R* there.

They also said that there would be problems with servers. funny how noone reads that part and is all up in arms over it. but the goverment keeps f*cking you and you dont care.

[Jimmy Darmody]

If you can't take an opinion don't join the site. Criticism is good and well intentioned (sometimes just well intentioned lol). The fact that there's criticism just means that lots of people are playing the game. Besides, doesn't matter who you are or what it is, there's always be hate.
