Not to say that there is no quality in GTA, but more that sometimes a little push in the right direction makes some people overlook the little problems ;- |
Reputable review sites do not accept bribery, despite what the general Gamefaqs' community would have you believe. IGN hadn't given a game a 10 in almost nine years, and most of the other well-known sites have reputations for being pretty greedy with their scores.
I know it's easy enough to believe this sort of nonsense when problems like these arise -- the game has some inherent bugs and therefore the journalists are all corrupt for giving it a perfect score -- but in actuality the number of people having these issues is rather small. It doesn't surprise me that some of these publications haven't happened across any problems.
And after playing GTAIV on a 60gb unit for the last 40 hours, I can attest to the game's quality.
