GTA V review score is now Overwhelmingly Negative - briefly
(hx) 11:35 PM CEST - Jun,19 2017 - Post a comment / read (3)
The backlash from Take-Two's overnight decision to shutter the popular Grand Theft Auto modding tool OpenIV continues, as GTA 5's overall Steam review rating hits 'Mixed'â€”an all-time low for Rockstar's popular open world sim. At the time of writing, 'Recent' reviews stand at 'Overwhelmingly Negative' and Change.org petition lobbying against the publisher's intervention (details of which are outlined below) has now passed its first 50,000 goal. The petition is expected to be delivered to both Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive.

In the wake of Take-Two Interactive's shutdown of popular GTA modding tool OpenIV, fans of GTA mods (and really, who isn't a fan of GTA mods, except for Take-Two, apparently) are doing what they can to make their voices heard. Visiting Steam's store page for Grand Theft Auto 5, the fallout is immediately evident. Rockstar's widely-acclaimed action sandbox has enjoyed cool-blue 'Mostly Positive' Steam reviews since its release, but 'recent' review scores now rate the game with the angry-red 'Mostly Negative'.

Currently, only 21% of the 23,000 reviews in the past 30 days are listed as positive, and scrolling down the 'most helpful' list of reviews, there are more thumbs-downs than a theater packed with Roger Ebert clones sitting through a Rob Schneider film festival.

Too bad the bad reviews are coming in about 60 million copies too late. This is ultimately not going to hurt them at all, and if the PC community pushes this issue too hard you can say goodbye to any chance of Read Dead 2 coming to PC.

instead of having a story of a guy, that you connect to during the time, you have 3 unconnectable guys, with no strong story and focus on multi player. I'd rather play GTA 3 again that this POS. I don't really care if there are more mini games in it.

I would much rather play Super Mario Brothers, Minesweeper or some equally boring shit. Take 2 has not released any titles worth playing in the last couple of years. They're just skinning the cat - much like Microsoft with their fuck-all efforts for another decent Windows.

Sorry it can't all be Sims for you.
