Game Spot downgraded the game for being misogynistic. Meh.

On a less positive note, it’s deeply frustrating that, while its central and supporting male characters are flawed and complex characters, with a few extremely minor exceptions (such as the aforementioned optional getaway driver), GTA V has little room for women except to portray them as strippers, prostitutes, long-suffering wives, humorless girlfriends and goofy, new-age feminists we’re meant to laugh at.

Characters constantly spout lines that glorify male sexuality while demeaning women, and the billboards and radio stations of the world reinforce this misogyny, with ads that equate manhood with sleek sports cars while encouraging women to purchase a fragrance that will make them “smell like a bitch.” Yes, these are exaggerations of misogynistic undercurrents in our own society, but not satirical ones. With nothing in the narrative to underscore how insane and wrong this is, all the game does is reinforce and celebrate sexism. The beauty of cruising in the sun-kissed Los Santos hills while listening to “Higher Love” by Steve Winwood turns sour really quick when a voice comes on the radio that talks about using a woman as a urinal.

There is no reason to show up at Gamestop at 10. They say that every time and I always just go right before midnight. Believe me you don't want to be standing around with the majority of the people who show up at 10 any longer than you have to.

Any mentions of differences between the 2 versions? I mean, besides being on 2 discs for the 360, etc.

Do you still need to go in the store before midnight if you already have it paid in full? The gamefaqs guys still say I need to get my receipt stamped or some kind of bullshit.

His one complaint is one I seem to have with all these games. When I'm driving I never get to enjoy the world because I'm too busy following my GPS. I wish they could integrate it better into the driving.
