Grand Theft Auto V - Released on PC

[toroid]

And now it looks like this:

edit: Disregard. The user reviews are back now. Dunno what's going on over there. Panic, I guess.

 

[Big No]

Apparently Gunrunning introduced explosive ammo for the Heavy Sniper. The more updates they release the more unbalanced the game becomes.

Valve just had a momentary outage for around 10 minutes when you happened to glance at the store, so no games had reviews and you couldn't view community crap.

Aaaand it brought down the overall score to Mixed:

With this and the Paradox price increasing thing (and the Chinese invasion of Football Manager last year), I guess big publishers really beginning to hate Steam's review system.

It is still a top seller though

Steam forums are full of corporate shills defending Take-Two for "protecting its property" from evil hackers.

Chinese invasion of Football manager? Please elaborate!

 

[LESS T_T]

In short, Chinese gamers bombed FM2017 reviews and sent death threat to Sports Interactive boss and his family, because the game doesn't have Chinese language support that the developer "promised": http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-10-31-football-manager-trashed-on-steam-by-angry-chinese-fans

SEGA surrendered, and then actually promised Chinese support. Though it was delivered six months later, the overall review score recovered only about 10 percent. (At least it turned to Mixed from Mostly Negative.)

Moral of this story: It's better than nothing.

Like Paradox, they folded:

Take-Two announced in its investments call today that GTA5 has sold over 130 million units.

They say GTA6 will be less brave but it looks like 5th game is getting new treatment.

The trailer was filled with glitches like NPCs sitting on each other in cars while clipping and every number plate being yellow.

Take-Two announced back in November 2021 that GTA5 has sold over 155 million units.
