Gamespot’s review of Grand Theft Auto V went up yesterday and a tonne of gamers didn’t like it. Because of its “feminist” overtones. Written by Carolyn Petit, the review states the following: has an unnecessary strain of misogynistic nastiness running through it. The issue appears to be that because of her “feminine bias” Ms Petit may have given the game a lower score than it deserved. She gave the game a 9.0, but that doesn’t seem to have registered with the gamers who got all fired up about her talk of misogyny. One of these irate gamers even started a petition to get the young lady fired (it’s since been taken down). A few gems from the review’s comment section can be seen below: Clearly saying that Ms Petit looks like a man counts as an intellectual argument. Leigh Alexander, a legend in the video games industry and editor-at-large for Gamasutra had this to say about GTA V on her blog: "Instead of only playing as one gross man who commits crimes and swears a lot, you get to play as three different ones.
My press kit says this is a narrative innovation. You can’t be a woman. I could be lazy and say this is because women do not commit crimes or swear and nor should they want to, but instead I’m going to come right out and say it’s misogynistic. What, you want to leave me death threats? What can we learn from all this? To be honest, I don't think anything unless us internet folk can learn to behave in a more mature fashion. We know from many experiences that when there is a guy on the internet who is wrong, we get mad. This is a fact, it’s science. And we all know how opinions (regardless of their actual basis in fact) can be wrong too; especially when they don’t agree with what we think. Essentially, I believe that what happened here is that The Internet got mad over nothing; and because it’s fun to jump on the bandwagon, these gamers got involved in a smear campaign because lulz. And to give them the bennie of the d, maybe some of them were actually even angry about the things she said.

Batman Arkham Origins - Initiation Batman Arkham Origins Trailer, Video & Screenshots Why GameStop is excited for Batman: Arkham Origins You've hidden in the shadows and tied enemies to the ceiling beams in Batman: Arkham Asylum.
