So... overrated a bit much? Would wanting to have someone fired for giving the game a nine out of ten rating a sign that something's overrated?

Overrated. Having yet to play it I am at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to that debate.
Nine of out of ten... personally I take it as my daily confirmation that there are cretins in the world.
it's pretty useless trying to pick a "game of the generation," but I imagine people are looking for a game they could call highly influential throughout the generation, or a culmination of all of this gen's greatest innovations. it's still all pretty dumb because video games is such a young medium, and gaming culture/journalism is total shit. some of the most widely critically acclaimed games of this generation are god awful mountain-dew promotional material (mass effect/assassin's creed/cod)
if I had to pick something, I'd probably say dark souls or demon's souls when considering both originality and impact.
if it's a popularity contest, probably TF2, CoD or League of Legends.
I dont even like half these games. man I dont even like video games. fuck video games

obviously, I didn't mean they were literally mountain-dew promotional material, rather that these franchises have become nothing more than cash-cows for their respective publishers
Yeah, god forbid the company keeps giving the fans what they want and making money. How dare they! Those greedy bastards!
yes
that's not what I said. I was implying that whatever originality or actual value originally seen in these series' has been diluted in following titles in order to gain mass market appeal. granted, ME1 was by no means a masterpiece, and neither was the original Assassin's Creed.
To define a console generation with a single game could only be done imo by looking at sales and the number of people that have played a game.
The game has sold over a billion dollars in it's first week and has been played by over 16 million people. Surely that puts it into 'game of the generation' if we are measuring the gotg by success and exposure. The only other factor I could see being used for gotg is innovation, other games have innovated more than GTAV.
The only thing that comes close is GTAIV or some of the CODS.
What you could summerize is people who play COD play GTA, but GTA players don't all play COD lol!
Personally I'm just about to hit 50% after 20hrs or so playtime so I guess the 40hrs thing is accurate.

I've played 45 hours. (Roughly about 15 on each character). I've finished the main story as well as a fair bit of side quests. Only at 80 something percent. Percentage is hard to gauge in the game as alot of the side missions aren't needed for 100%.
It's been the fastest selling entertainment product (not just in video games, more than movies, books, etc), it's gorgeous, there's a ridiculous amount of stuff packed in, and it's a huge technological achievement. GTAV is the game of the generation.
