After Take-Two shutting down the OpenIV mod for Grand Theft Auto V, a lot of PC gamers decided to flood both GTA V and GTA IV with negative reviews on Steam. As such, the overall rating for both of these titles has dropped to “Mixed” from “Overwhelming Possitive” and “Mostly Possitive”, respectively.
Of course this does not surprise us. Currently, GTA V is rated with Overwhelming Negative reviews on Steam (recent rating) and GTA IV is rated with Mostle Negative reviews.
It remains to be seen whether the Steam ratings of these two titles will fall even further.
Still, Steam’s recent overall rating is a great tool that gamers can use in order to express their dissatisfaction with the way a company is treating their beloved games, so GG Steam users.

rockstar don’t give a f**k about steam reviews,they hate pc gaming because pc gamers are all pirates and cheaters,look red dead 2 not coming to pc
Thanks for pitching in, Captain Clueless. Red Dead 2 not being announced for the PC yet doesn’t mean it isn’t coming. Just like GTA V, it’ll be announced eventually.
keep dreaming you all said same for the first one two didn’t happen then same for rdr didn’t happen
like red dead 1 and midnight club los angeles
lol
No, like all GTA’s, Max Payne and others. Thanks for trying, though.
go create a petition at changedotorg
they need to accept this: console gaming is better and the community is better!
they don’t accept anything even if rockstar did released it for pc 5 years later they will whine like virgin bad port oh no it is using denuvo etc lol
“the community is better!”
ahahahahhahaa ok, as for better. then why is it that most gaming youtubers play on pc? A few years ago theuy played on consoles, now on pc. BECAUSE PC IS BETTER.
or like nioh,final fantasy xv,injustice 2,kingdom hearts 3,persona,yakuza ,uncharted,god of war and bloodborne 😉
Is it weird that the number of exclusives keeps diminishing? How does it feel to play in the weak, closed platforms at peasant standards? And with less and less exclusives (If you consider what playstation now is trying to do with playstation now).
Because a lot of what you said can be played on a PC right now. Persona and Yakuza are being considered for PC right now. Uncharted series and God of War are there already. Over 450 “exclusives” and counting are no longer exclusives to Playstation.
Your “walled garden” is becoming smaller and smaller, and there’s a world of people just having fun without those limitations.
PC is growing faster and faster, and you’re lonelier and lonelier. Welcome to the future, losers.
We getting final fantasy injustice which is not even good, kingdoms heats persona and yakuza. No need for another uncharter or another dark souls clone….god of war? You mean daddy of war?
rdr not made by rockstar but capcom midnight club studio has never made a pc game, where di you dig up that dead series?
He’s an admitted troll. Just block him and move on.
yes lol these whining virgin race what happened to rdr lol they hate drm they hate uwp they hate everything they want everything for free
look denuvo, i was a great idea for the pc market,but they don’t accept,they want all games for free!
yes denuvo + uwp = no piracy = more games on pc
who the hell uses uwp?
Making fake profiles, so you can support yourself? You’re scraping the bottom of a barrel definitely. You should work on your self-esteem as soon as possible because you’re drowning yourself in insecurities. Grow the f**k up, educate yourself, learn how things function in real life then you’ll be able to form a strong opinion backed by irrefutable facts. Just scram already, you and all your fake accounts.
The dude is a seriously pathetic lowlife. Well, he has no life, but still.
Hey clown, have you seen the GTA 5 sales numbers on Steam? :
yeah very VERY VERY LOW
7 milion on pc
21 milion on ps3…now repeat with me…PC GAMING IS DYING!
LOL
Steam is only ONE platform on the PC, genius.
We’ve been over this already, you dumb f*ck;
Your VGChartz number is bullsh*t & your Steam number doesn’t take into account physical sales that DON’T GO THROUGH STEAM.
But no, yeah, please, keep trolling.
He should have been well and truly banned by now. that last part is basically him admitting that he hates the site, the people, the platform etc. Why the hell is he here besides wasting his time trying to troll people?.
Mods ban that thot.
How is 7 million bad? Most games dont sell that on all systems combined and you call that pc gaming dying?
Mods ruin the games
then don’t use it
He only owns a PS4 so his options for using mods are severely limited by his chosen corporate overlord. Hence for why he’s so bitter about PC gamers having so much more choice and freedom than what Sony provides him.
Do you like modding??Do you game on PC??
only few % of people mod games so it is basically irrelevant to rockstar
I’m not looking for stats and neither did I ask if it’s relevent to rockstar.
then why the bad reviews”
Only a few people buy Ferrari’s to, Your point is?
If there is some defect in that Ferrari I sure hope other people will inform others before making a purchase!
@Walikor
Your silence tells everything. I’m guessing you don’t even own a PC let alone play on it.
Now here’s the thing MODS are a general feature of PC gaming, PC gamers care about modding. If a general feature is taken away over an ABSURD and PATHETIC reason then yes, we are going to get angry.
Finally it’s not what Rockstar wants it’s about what PC gamers want. Rockstar or 2k are not doing charity by releasing on PC they want money and we as a consumer give them money by buying their games.
I don’t know whether you corporate slaves understand but we don’t buy a $60 game just to get locked out of the feature that WE specifically paid for.
Mods ruin the games
For who??You? Fine you don’t seem to care but others do. So stop with your pathetic trolling. You neither represent nor speak for PC gamers. Your opinion on this matter is void.
Spoken like the bitter Sony peasant that you are. gg
lol what ? Mods are awesome.
and I really hope you weren’t talking about games in general because you’d be even more wrong. Mods completely transform games like Skyrim, for example. The experience is completely different.
Warning, you’ll get banned if you continue posting in order to spark flame wars and nothing more
“Mods ruin the games”
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAA
You mean consoles?
And pcbros are wondering why rockstars hates them
So Take Two drops mod support, with Rockstar sucking their c 0cks and we PC gamers are supposed to do nothing about it?
All publishers are scumb @gs. And Rockstar doesn’t give me pity in the slightest: they’re a two-faced snake.
and pcgamers keeps pirating rockstar is supposed to nothing with that?
this why no good game is released on pc along with console it comes later enjoy LoL that is what pc gaming is about and that is where money is for developers
You must have Stage 3 Autism.
I’m against piracy, and it has nothing to do with cheating.
Learn the difference between both, console r €tard.
“this why no good game is released on pc along with console i”
They all come out on the same day only rockstar apparently “cant do it” How does it feel rockstar that you are on par with indie devs? You and indie devs cant release on the same day on pc.
So the best course of action is to bomb reviews for their games ? Games which, on their own merit, are actually fantastic games with fantastic reviews, are now rated as ‘mixed’.
It’s just an example of Steam’s review system being abused like crazy, and it’s sad. Rockstar made an great game, and they made a fantastic PC version. What Take Two does regarding mods doesn’t change that fact.
Sure, this will get their attention, but it’s still sad either way. Guess the situation just sucks.
“So the best course of action is to bomb reviews for their games ?”
Yeah, that’s what ‘protesting’ is about. Any other ideas, genius?
“It’s just an example of Steam’s review system being abused like crazy,”
MF rockstar abused the law to blacmail modders. screw off shill.
As long as they keep doing these shtty games…
what shtty both are excellent games stfu
Disappear, troll
youre a troll moron what is shtty about those games
Disappear you console troll
stfu you pc peasant enjoy rdr,rdr2,ffxv, injustic2 lol
ROFL
yeah i will but not on the PS4 even though i own one yeah i feel filthy now just thinking about it oh god that cinematic stable 24 frames
who cares? when this publisher and developer try to restrict things in the name of protecting their games most often they hurt legit buyer more.
Rockstar does the unthikable, threating modders and yet rockstar is the good guy and we are the bad guys?
Please jump on a cactus, no one can be this stupid.
no wonder why rdr2 is not coming to pc just like the first and second one
Will you say that to playstation? Because they put RDR on PC. And the second one? Keep praying, loser. Keep praying.
Account banned as it was created today just to spam in this particular topic: https://i.imgur.com/6JAmkbd.jpg
This Walikor dude has been spamming for a while now without any constructive arguments. He keeps repeating himself inciting console vs. PC war.
Ditto Sp4ctr0.
Yes, ban him as well. It’s become over over the many months that he is just a console gamer who wastes his time coming to a PC centric site and crapping all over the site, it’s readers and anything PC related.
So long, loser.
Reported him for his clearly offensive name that also happens to break Disq rules.
We don’t need trash muddying up this site.
Most of the comments in this article are from 2 trolls sucking each other off. :))
Birds of a feather embrace together.
One of them i already blocked, the other one is soon to…
I just finished typing and already got one reply and 2 are already typing. Holy hell that was fast. 0_0
Yeah of course, they’re just retrded whan can you do…
yeah now go to play nioh..ops you cant ROFL!
With drops to 15 fps, you can barely play it. The irony of it all is, if you (the peasants) had any standards, we all would be able to play it well. But it turns out that vitriolic trolls would prefer to have a bad experience, than to advocate for us all to enjoy it. Sad, really. It detracts from the game. 13 years in the making to sell 1 million units. And for what? To have Sony release on Playstation Now? Removing your precious “exclusive” to deliver a substandard product. Who wins here? Anyone? You? Are you that despicable? I wonder.
It seems to escape poor young Walikor that,
– some, perhaps many, PC gamers are multi-platform gamers
– many PC gamers could easily play the tiny number of worthwhile PS4 exclusive games if we chose to because the price of a console is no barrier to us. We don’t play such games because we can’t; we don’t play them because we choose not to.
I cant express this in better way… he will not read anyway. He us just a troll
Thanks. I suppose it just amuses me that the worst of the console brand fanboys seem to consider themselves part of a special club when base PS4 and Xbone are such widely available mainstream products priced so very cheaply.
For people like him it’s not so much about the enjoyment of video gaming because they care more about defending the supposed honour of global corporations and thus trash-talking the competition as they perceive it. Either that or they genuinely believe their toy to be the most special so they spit the dummy when anything to the contrary is voiced.
Most of them are likely youngsters still dependent on the bank of mummy and daddy for their video games. Tragically, some of them are in their 20s and above and it’s those individuals who are seemingly lost causes. Still, their moronic conduct at least provides a laugh for the rest of us.
They do this every gen. Each gen we have one winner, that winner acts arrogant and so do the fans and it plays the same way over and over again.
Sony fans were so bitter that their winning streak was cut short with the PS3 reveal/launch, they held such bitter feelings towards Wii for skyrocketing with the casual crowd and Xbox with the mainstream/dedicated. Come PS4 launch they released all that bitterness like a salt mine opening for business.
it’s honestly depressing because it shows that they’ll never change, well the only changing they’ll ever do is the side to another console at some stage but that’s as far as that goes. Some will manage to grow more wise over the years and move onto PC (some already are in number these days), there they can learn that tying oneself to a corp isn’t healthy and makes you look stupid.
100% true. From Atari through to Sony by way of Nintendo, Sega and Microsoft that pattern has held true at every step. Not that the likes of Intel and Nvidia are much better but that’s a different conversation and is not an apples to apples comparison.
Haven’t seen a post this good in a long time.
#Respect
oh noes another dark souls game, wow hor orginal next up you gonna tell me last of us and uncharted are getting sequels…. oops they do.
I could use the go play argument but pc has more exlusives than all consoles combined.

TopKek
Yeah, just did the same. Too much trolling stupidity gives me a headache, and there’s quite the amount from those two.
rest of them is from pc peasant or pc pirates whing and creating petition at changedotorg
Get a life, buddy.
tell that to pc pirates
thank god for user blocking
You’re telling me, man. So many sad trolls.
Best feature on disqus.
Sorry it took me 3 days to drop the hammer, but it has been dropped.
If he gets a life then perhaps he’ll explain what a “whing” is! Perhaps it’s the name of another third-person action adventure game for his Sony console with excruciatingly long loading times, pared back texture resolution, checkerboard rendering and running at a gloriously cinematic 25-30fps.
Whing Dings is my favorite font.
He’s more sans brain than sans serif.
You better have cocked a shotgun after typing that.
“PC peasants”? Lol, dude. The whole term “console peasant” originated from the low price tag and walled garden serfdom the userbase is part of.

#cucks in arms
This is actually one and the same person.
What’s more absurd to me is the fact that after so many negative reviews GTA V still sits among top selling charts.It’s baffling to me.
Thanks, Prof. Protest. I think all these people who already owned the game and flipped the game’s rating by making a single mouse click which generated news stories on every gaming site could really learn a lot about effective protests and what will or will not change anything. God bless you. Without your wisdom, customers of a company might think that their opinion matters to that company.
if you get tilted and genuinely upset over some comment on the internet your life must be really good
Its better to do nothing, right? They already bought the game and they cant refund, so…
you don’t make sense..
The game was perfectly fine when we all bought it. Too late now but might as well do something.
Yes but at the very least they gave us a good port. I may have been slightly disappointed by the game overall but i didn’t regret my purchase.
Tanking the review score is going to achieve nothing. The best way to fight back is to distribute OpenIV everywhere since that’s what take-two wants to stop.
Its actually doing something, but you can take sit and do nothing if you want. If you are looking for a pretext to do nothing because you are lazy, it not necessary for you to come here and tell us that nothing its gonna happen, let others to make the changes to happen. Good luck.
Lol? The moment the news broke I managed to nab a copy of the most up to date version of OpenIV and provided it to anyone asking for a copy on the gtaforums and on reddit. I made sure the exe was spread far.
That achieves more than writing a dumb review.
So be quiet.
The bad review is very important believe it or not. When you have console user on a pc oriented site defending R* that means you achieved something XD
open iv is everywhere. Nothing in the internet gets deleted. But by your logic we should all massively pirate gta v. Using hacks and piracy to send a message isnt working. consumers saying we dont like what you are doing, does.
it’s not. but some people simply want to give “middle finger” signal to Take Two and this is one way to do it. at least this really show that the displeasure is real and publisher can’t brush it aside as “some very very small minor group on PC gaming community” and think what they do is appreciated by majority of their customer.
I’ll eat your wife out
Update, now its extremely negative. Good job.
Changes nothing.
agree rockstar games don’t give a s**t about pc gaming
Keep repeating that as the corporate drone you are. By the way your nick name is stupid.
My 1600+ dollar liquid cooled beauty of a beast PC doesn’t care about your feelings or your poor quality GTA 5 mods.
“After Take-Two shutting down the OpenIV mod for Grand Theft Auto V” You mean a mod for Grand Theft Auto IV
I believe the mod is for IV, V, and Max Payne 3.
Those PC gamers that going around bashing BOTH ROCKSTAR and TAKE 2 and posting negative reviews on Steam like there’s no tommorow are an bunch immature spoiled BRATS who are apparently EXTREMELY PISSED OFF at what TAKE 2 decided to do.
Rockstar still has their money, negative reviews will hurt the companies revenue in the long but
they can release “remastered” editions with clean reviews
i sure hope valve won’t be cucked into canning steam reviews
Bad reviews aren’t going to hurt T2 or R*’s fee fees, instead both are still to this day laughing their way to the bank.
They managed to swindle last and current gen console owners so good that they made more than enough bank than what to do with. The quite late PC port and shark cards are just whip cream to them.
With R* announcing RDR2 for two consoles and nada for PC, it’s safe to assume that between the lack of respect and care towards PC gaming from either of those two and no PC port for either RDR1-2 mentioned, that R* and T2 don’t really see themselves investing any further with PC gaming, but after what’s been done I’d say “jog on and never come back”.
I can’t stand how a PC centric dev would grow so arrogant and full of themselves, that they would ignore the platform that got them to where they are today, it’s a shame really and it’s the same old story with other PC centric devs that sold out for console short term profits, rather than PC long term and undying loyalty (because one console player can easily switch to another console and ignore the other, on PC it’s just PC and the games).
I honestly have very little respect for devs that turn their backs on PC, only for them to come back and think they own the place and that they think they can control everything.
Amen to that, brother.
“and no PC port for either RDR1-2 mentioned, that R* and T2 don’t really see themselves investing any further with PC gaming,”
Nonsense RDR 1 is not even made by rockstar nor is the same game. RDR 2 runs on the pre gta iv version of the rage engine, its a mess. GTA V pc runs on the latest version even higher than max payne 3.
sup Take#2 shill. We know the fawk us pc players, just as we’ll fawk them back when anything worth our attention is pirated including other franchises Take#2 has it’s d!ck dipped in.
They won’t be laughing when every Take#2 and rockstar game I play this day forward is played for free. I know red dead will never make it to pc anyways though, so they don’t have much to fear from me. But if it does make it to pc, rest assured I will pirate the fawk out of it and feel good about doing it. I’m more than just a sales figure to scrooge mcjewnose. I know my 60$ plus 20$ to 40$ in dlc doesn’t matter to them individually, but hopefully others make the same decision and it piles up game after game pirate after pirate until they die as a company or own up and learn their fawking lesson.
Guess since on their games listed for pc on the site they have Prey , and I’m PO’d at zeni/bethesda I’ll go ahead and pirate that for good measure later today. I was planning to buy the xcom 2 expansion in august, I think is when it was coming. I’ll go ahead and pirate that one now as well, or if I cannot make it manage to work with my legit version I’ll get it cheap on g2a since that PO’s game devs and some claim it’s “worse than davy jones locker yohoho”. I’ll then procede to pirate th enext xcom entirely if they are involved with it in any way whatsoever. I’ll be pirating civ 6 after posting this for good measure. I don’t intend to actualyl play prey since it looks like a pile of ds, but it was listed so oh well. Civ 6 I may play around with for a few days though, just to build a big board then nuke the frak out of it. None of those I will pay them for. Nor anything else they are ever attached to fromt his day forward, including future borderlands games (even the telltale ones) since I rarely did multiplayer with borderlands games ever anyways. People always fraking rushed through everything and PO me. So no sweat off my back pirating the future borderlands games either since i didn’t usually enjoy the rushed multiplayer experiences. if I ever am interested in a multiplayer enough, I’ll wait for it to be at least half price on G2A and only get it there. Not on keys officially licensed either. if they’d ever received money for it, it wouldn’t have been from me.
bethesda has already said fawk the pc playerbase that it would not exist without. I’m pirating all future bethesda/zyngamax stuff too. Let the mindless consumer zombies on the consoles enjoy paying for their 500$ or 600$ games with all the outsourced dlc paid mod bs. I’ll play it all for free and be sure to thank them for paying for my copies of the games and all of the outsourced dlc. Since they fawked up the industry by not being able to have any sort of self-control witht heir spending, let them waste their money. I won’t play anything that i didn’t get for free any more outside of the rare mmo or multiplayer. denuvo just delays the release date by days or maybe weeks. I’ll just put it off in my mind until things are cracked, no big deal. le tthem waste money on it for the lulz
You’re not special dude, you’ll die without anyone giving a damn.
When people say “I am X gamer” it doesn’t give you higher authority or clarity over everyone else. Also in most cases that person claiming what they think they are isn’t entirely true. I’ve dealt with many a “PC gamer” before who just so happens to spout on how bad PC games are, yet praising console games and just so happens to own a crummy laptop and 5 consoles, which in turn tells us a lot more on where their preferences lie.
😀
Even more path €tic when you’ve in mind that we’re talking about billionaire companies here. It’s not like they’re defending the poor precisely.
Shows how much self-esteem they have.
You’re drunk go home
Hard to boycott one game every 5 years
which makes it even harder. You dont boycott rockstar you buy one game every 5 years, if you even like it.
We are not salty someone is throwing the salt on us.
“Enjoy the damn game because this game doesnt need mods to be great”
We decide that not blackmailers at rockstar and take two.
” i thought i would never had to say this but you guys took this too damn serious.”
A company threatens modders with lawsuits for making their gmaes more fun. Its not us who took this too seriously its the idiots at rockstar and take two, the ceo should step down he has no idea what he is doing. This is not bringing any money to their bank acounts, its removing them.
Says the person who keeps coming to a pc gaming site with the most exlusives than all consoles combined.
“These ‘sh**ty’ games are what CD Project RED look up to.”
I sincerely doubt it. I wont speak about gta v but gta iv was garbage.
rip my two good friends walikor and mister nick gur
One troll remains
watching sensitive teens on the internet cry over a comment amuses me, i can’t help it
and yet gta 5 is in the top sellers all the time :/
just shows how many hackers there were in this game, good riddance
Take#2 shill ^, report, block it, move on
nah just someone played enough to get tired of script kiddies
APPARENTLY millions
That’s the spirit guys and girls!
SCREW YOU! SCREW THE MODDING COMMUNITY! AND SCREW THOSE NEGATIVE REVIEWS! WHAT R U GOING TO DO IF EVERY AAA DEVELOPER, INDIE DEVELOPER, AND EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD ALL DECIDE TO PERMANENTLY BAN MODDING IN VIDEO GAMES AND RAMP UP THEIR ANTI-PIRACY MEASURES TO AN UNEXPECTEDLY UNHEALTHY LEVEL? WHAT WILL YOU DO THEN?! IDIOT!
Good thing I never decided to buy this title. Certainly won’t now. Thanks for making my decision easy c:
That’s nice and all, but I think we would send them a stronger message if everyone gather around and flat out refuse to buy Take-Two’s next big game.
You’re a moron
You know what, you’re right. It’s moronic to expect gamers to show some discipline and force themselfs to not grab that shiny new toy publishers put before their faces avaiable right now just for 59.99 (DLC not included), right after getting screwed over by the very same publisher just minutes ago. After all, does everybody remember how that Modern Warfare 2 protest went?
Hopefully the PC modding community learned their lesson to NOT MESS WITH ROCKSTAR AND TAKE 2
Grow some balls, your mods are gone for a good reason.
Pfff lol. A shark card buyer is mad because hackers ruin his P2W experience. Hillarious!!
Shhh, before EVERYONE here realizes you’re an idiot!
You cry more
Negative ratings or not, they already have millions of people’s moneys at this point lol
