    This game looks like it would be great fun but sadly with so many loading screens that last 5+ minutes on a samsung SSD I've had to uninstall this game.

    Perhaps the most over rated game of all time. There's so much shallow things to do in this game that mostly feels repetitive and boring.

The ciy feels dead and i feel no attachment to any of its locations. Multiplayer could have been better but developer's money greed killed the game for the most gamers since the introduction of highly disappointing and controversial shark cards. Why waste our hard earned cash when already paid nearly 80 bucks for the full game ?? Rockstar should learn from CDPROJEKTRED what it takes to earn respect of the masses. 1 positive thing that was pretty unusual for a R* game was a good PC optimization to an otherwise disappointing entry.

    *Online is slow slow slow slow slow slow slow. Of the 10 hours I have spent in online mode, maybe 2 hours has actually been spent playing. The rest is disconnecting, reconnecting, being hacked, etc.
    *I can't play single player because the game crashes at the same point over and over again. I can't progress in it because it crashes.

    Glad I got a refund.

    Crash. Next time. Ou it crash again. And wait. Social club. It was so "wonderfull". Game crashed again. What? You must change nickname! What? Game crashed again..Two years old game for full prize. And if you get DVD version, you dont get digital copy of that. And the best in the end:) You must have DVD in mechanic, if you want play.

    Is it OK not to like the game? Will I be banished from the internets? I sure hope I won't, cause I've found this game incredibly dull. I was not able to connect to the character(s), and the novelty of running around the streets and punching people to death wears off pretty quickly.

    Game prevents you from playing single player game unless you log in. Which is annoying because it has rules that make it hard to create secure passwords. So, I get logged out, and have to spend time playing this game by entering Captchas.

    When captchas are a part of your game, you have a bad game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Problems with this game out rweigh the pro's big time.

    People were won over with nothing but spectacle, fancy graphics and shooting miniguns into police helicopters can be fun and all...but that novelty wears off extremely fast but before people already form their positions on this.

    From a single player perspective the biggest thing that the entire marketing revolved around, heists, are very dissapointing
    You only have 6 highly scripted heists to go from, some of which have little to no payout. The choice in them are also limited. How you approach is only two options.

    Picking your crew was also very half assed. It seemed like there was supposed to be more in this game to form an actual large pool of criminals to level and pick for your heists. So that you either choose some crappy crew early on and lose out on a larger score but build them up into a cheap but extremely proffesional crew by the end ( a long term play) or just have a pro crew straight away and suffer the score having hefty cuts.

    But there's so little heists and people to chose from the whole element is just ruined.

    Then comes online. This brings the game down big time.
    Delayed...but still comes out absolutely buggy and unplayable for a month (and still unbearably slow to this day!)
    Then comes the heists, which force people to require a four man crew....that is impossible to find thanks to terrible rockstar servers AND if you do find all four players, the game can be instantly disconnected and throw you out of that session/lobby if just one man decides to leave. Or get's disconnected by shoddy R* servers.

    Seriously, this game was absolutely atrocious from a technical perspective, awful. Onc
    e again style winning over substance and it's infuriating to watch gamers applaud and throw money at this tactic.

    The Main Story Mode is a 7.5/10.
    Elements of microtransactions have really ruined the game.
    If you go online there are so many people using cheats and modes that the game is unplayable. There will be a modders in EVERY online lobby and you cannot get away from it. Rockstar does nothing to stop it.

    Online is not really fun:
    -VERY long loading screens
    -Many have problems even starting the game
    -Sometimes it just freezes in loading screens
    -Many hackers
    -Very boring earning money
    -You always do the same
    -Rockstar really just wants your money in this game!

    Who designed the utterly horrid flight controls ? Absolutely the worst flight model of any game I have ever played. Game started out 9/10 and by the time Trevor is forced to fly that dog excrement plane it goes down to 4/10. Really ruined the game for me. If you have an excrement flight model don't force it into missions.

I skipped playing the fifth one just because I didn't have a gaming pc for a while. But when I came back to the gaming world recently, I have been consistently disappointed. The most prevailing issue: the ridiculous ease of modern games. There is so much hand-holding, so many resources, so little difficulty, games have become difficult to finish or keep playing because they quickly become dull and boring, lacking challenge. GTA V is a perfect example. Why was there no difficulty setting? The game is extremely easy. I didn't even use any special abilities, didn't bother buying any armor, weapons or ammo, and it was still too easy!

    Yes, the graphics are nice, the story was ok, and the content was plentiful. Although after a while, you begin to notice a predictable pattern: drive to do a mission, watch a cut-scene, drive to do another mission to watch a cut-scene, repeat. These transitions were done better in the previous games and were not so mind-dulling noticeable.

    I gave up on the game half-way through, catching myself yawning all the time and forcing myself to play something I was bored of.

    We could not expect a better PC port PC for Grand Theft Auto V. Rockstar North, offers right from day one a huge game in optimized, widely scalable, and high impact graphics and the video editor, although not so easy to use, is an enjoyable addition.
