The reviews on Steam for
Grand
Theft Auto IV and
Grand
Theft Auto V have taken a turn for the worse following the
recent
shutdown of the OpenIV modding tool for Grand Theft Auto V (thanks
DSOGaming). The overall rating for each game has dropped to "mixed" as the
recent reviews GTAIV are "mostly negative" and the recent reviews for GTAV are
now "overwhelmingly negative" as gamers express their anger at the mod shutdown.
In semi-related news,
PCGamesN notes the shutdown of Force Hax, a paid mod that allowed users to
cheat and mess with other players in Grand Theft Auto Online. The mod website
now has the following statement:
“After discussions with Take-Two
Interactive, effective immediately we are ceasing all maintenance, development
and distribution of the Force Hax cheat menu services. We will be donating our
proceeds to charity and we apologize for any and all problems Force Hax services
have caused to the Grand Theft Auto Online community.”
