Check out the GTA VI trailer below!
Over the years, other than selling like hotcakes, theGrand Theft Autohas received high critical acclaim from reviewers and fans alike. Take for example the two most recent entries,GTA IVandGTA V, withboth scoring in the high 90son aggregate websites such as Metacritic. So it stands to reason thatGrand Theft Auto VIwill also score highly, right?

Of course, we can never know 100% ifGTA VIwill reach the pinnacle of perfection. After all, to the surprise of just about everyone, developers ofRockstar Gamescould releaseGTA VIin an absolute buggy mess. It’s unlikely, but most certainly not impossible. Either way, the review scores from critics and fans will hopefully be a fair reflection at launch.
However, if any game is released in an unacceptable state, it won’t be exempt from review bombing. I’m not always a fan of review bombing culture, but other than voting with their wallets, it’s often the best way for customers to let developers and publishers know that they’re not happy with a product and hopefully, any reported issues will be fixed as a result. Unfortunately, games can fall victim to review bombing for a multitude of seemingly unjust reasons that might not be a reflection of quality.
That being said, despite being years away from release, some believe thatGrand Theft Auto VIis doomed to fail, as spoken about in a recent Reddit thread. “How do people thinkGTA VIis gonna flop?”askedIAmGolfMan.

KingAltair2255 replied: “To each their own and all but I genuinely can’t fathom how some people buy a Rockstar Games title almost solely for the online. I saw it happen a lot withRed Dead Redemption 2where people were ignoring the story, playing online and promptly review bombing the game because the online was crap.”
“People who say it’s gonna flop are the same people who complained about how bad it looked in the leaks,” claimed TheGamingMacV. “It’ll flop in a lot of people’s eyes not because it’s bad, but because it didn’t live up to their unrealistic expectations,” exclaimed Kn1ghtV1sta.
