From where I sit GTA5 is getting near universal adoration, GTA4 was not so universally praised.
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?

You realize you're comparing expansion packs to a main entry in the franchise, right? Kind of a huge difference.
Not to mention that GTA IV and its related content still has a nice chunk of people playing it, and there's a huge modding scene for the game. Not too shabby for a 5 year old game.
I didn't said everyone.
No, everyone's hyped about it but its basically just another GTA game people are gonna get tired of soon enough, same thing happened to GTA Episodes From Liberty City, same thing will happen as well.
games of this generation are god awful mountain-dew promotional material (mass effect/assassin's creed/cod)
So i assume that everyone who says yes to the poll has never heard of a game trilogy called Mass Effect.
Uh.... what? Get off this planet.
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, cuz you know, ME3 was just the drizzling shits.
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.Yeah, god forbid the company keeps giving the fans what they want and making money. How dare they! Those greedy bastards!

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%.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.
