    GTA V is an improvement over GTA IV, easily, but it's not up to GTA San Andreas' level of craftmanship.

    GTA V has less sense of urgency, exploration, adventure, excitement, creativity, and running wild and free than GTA San Andreas accomplished, and the GTA V mission layout is inefficient and seems like it was done to artificially elongate player play-time.

    With GTA V, Rockstar seem to have proven as de-facto that they do not have much competence at PC game-making, as the UI in GTA V is pretty hodgepodge thrown together, the minigame controls that come up in GTA V missions are very erratic / inconsistent, and accessibility for things in GTA V can be really non-intuitive, and not in line with expected functionality. Rockstar seems to clearly be a console developer who has made an effort for the PC version, but have little familiarity with the PC gaming experience. A lot of their design choices in GTA V are abysmal, and beneath average usability. They need to get their heads out of their own asses, and open their eyes and figure their sh*t out better. Maybe they're expecting a free pass without doing the proper work owed.

    The city of San Andreas is very nice, but it feels like GTA V doesn't make enough use of it. There is a lot less of a feeling of exploiting every opportunity in GTA V than there is in GTA San Andreas. GTA V is just a lot more normal than GTA San Andreas, and maybe that's why they made the Trevor character - to compensate for lacking an innate creative zaniness in the writing, mission design, overall main story. But as the player, I've wanted to kill Trevor off all along, and don't enjoy playing as him, or his contribution to the story.

    I think that the character Trevor doesn't work.The character Trevor is crazy, but RS don't seem to have known what they were trying to accomplish by it, and it feels a bit as though it was done just to see what it was like, or just to grab people's attention with vapid shock value. Having better design in the game would instead be a satisfying player draw, and Trevor seems gimmicky.

    The story in GTA V feels a bit mundane, and it makes the individual mission shine less, and have less sense of important purpose within them. Kind of feels like like just dealing with things while nothing more interesting is going on.

    The GTA V mission design is all criss-crossed across the map, so it's not like GTA San Andreas, where you'll have a bunch of mission development in an area - instead, GTA V has the player driving not especially interesting distances between each mission, and it's reducing of engagement. Maybe RS had fewer missions and tried to stretch out the playtime with this design. Whatever their reason, relying on such a tactic doesn't help the game, but makes it clear that a lack of design quality is present.

    GTA V is OK, the graphics are good - but RS hasn't employed as masterful a touch in this product as they did in GTA San Andreas, and some things in GTA V feel like RS were trying to hide recognition of that by using noisy distractions.

    I hope RS start earning their reputation again, rather than riding on it.    … Expand

    If you've played GTAIV, there's virtually no reason to buy this game. It's pretty much the same schtick, with the main difference between different characters which are completely unlikeable unlike previous ones, and a new storyline, which is 50 shades of grey fan fiction terrible.

    The multiplayer is plagued with problems, a confused system of punishments for playing the game the way it's meant to be played, and not punishing users that harass each other, a gross lack of anti-cheat measures as bad as the DayZ mod, and a horrific grind to unlock anything in an effort to encourage you to spend even more money on in-game cash.

    However, cruising around the city, blowing up AI pedestrians with rocket launchers and causing general mayhem is as polished as ever. A good game to just fool around in.    … Expand

Soundtrack is with no single song to remember. You buy extremaly expensive cars and you can not use them inside mission, dissapointing. You can not upgrade your character's main vehicle. This works a lot like deattachment from the game flow. You take time to compse your character appereance, only to find that next mission is replacing your effort with one from scenario. The game tone: until now, few days after finishing the game, I can not find the essence: was it serious, was it joke, was it drama or comedy? I do not care for multiplayer, I only started it once, only to find that city is dead, and some punk chasing and shooting me from heli with automatic weapon. There is maybe more than that but I did not care. The meter that is never wrong to me is: I like the game then I can not stop playing it. I do not like the game, I need to force myself to play it. Well, since as a player I could not miss gtaV anyway, I had to force myself to play it and finish the campaign.… Expand

    Please ignore the red scores from trolls and angry console peasants, anyone scoring this game in the red has never played it and is therefor not qualified to score it. Giving the game a 0 score because you live in an area with bad internet and the game is 60gb is unacceptable and quite frankly stupid.

    The first 10 hours or so of this game had me feeling more like it was about a 9, it starts off really well and is very fun. But once you get into the "meat" of the game, you get the typical Triple A "mile wide, inch deep" type bs where you start to discover the game falls off to mediocrity.

    My main qualms: -No purchasable safehouses. Seriously? You can even do it online and in the    The first 10 hours or so of this game had me feeling more like it was about a 9, it starts off really well and is very fun. But once you get into the "meat" of the game, you get the typical Triple A "mile wide, inch deep" type bs where you start to discover the game falls off to mediocrity.

    My main qualms:

    -No purchasable safehouses. Seriously? You can even do it online and in the beta, but why not in the single player game? Why not at least have some DLC? This is absolutely ridiculous. One of the most fun aspects of the previous games to me was having multiple safehouses I could not only duck into and lay low, but also to store cars at. You only get 1 to 2 safehouse per character and they can only be used by those characters, and they are default given to you based on the story. Lame lame lame

    -Clothing options suck. There are only really 3 different clothing stores, and you can't even buy the same clothes for all the characters. You also can only pair certain shoes with certain pants, which makes it way harder than it needs to be to form a cool outfit, especially for characters like Franklin who when they go into the "nice" clothing store, can only buy Chinos as pants, which aren't able to pair with the "nice" shoes. in fact there are no "nice" pants you can buy for him, rather you have to buy a full suit, but if you want to get any of the cool sports coats or jackets, you can't wear any good pairs of shoes with them because since it is not a full suit you are forced to wear chinos or other pants (none of which are allowed to pair with nice shoes)

    -The missions become lame after a while. They go from making me feel like an action start, to just fighting against the controls of the game to to tedious tasks. Flying missions are all horrible and unfun, as are many of the sidequest.

    -It is unclear the difference between "pocket money" and "bank money". You keep getting these emails that show you are collecting revenue, but it is a pain to try and figure out where this money actually is. After googling for several days and posing questions on forums I finally figured out where it is.

    -The swimming controls are horrid, and make zero sense. Why is the jump key by default the same as the dive key? And why should I have to google how to swim up every time I'm caught underwater losing breath because it's insanely overcomplicated to figure out how to swim back to the surface? So many unfun incredibly anger inducing deaths have come from drowning.

    -Michael and Trevor's powers are too similar. They are essentially the same thing, "Be good at combat". Why not diversify and make one of them good at parkour or something? Have Franklin be the driver, Trevor be the crazy gun guy, and Michael be the physical specimen that can jump over huge distance, run fast, climb walls, basically specialize in getting away via foot, and also be really good at hand combat with special moves and such.

    -In general there's nothing good to spend your money on. You can spend money on property, which you can't even enter or customize, it just makes you more money or gives you unfun non descript missions to undertake. All the guns are cheap and ammo is cheaper. The clothing is limited and not done well. There are no safehouses to buy cool mansions or lots of various ones to just have around the city. Spending money on cars is useless because the characters just have their default vehicles and there are only like 2 or 3 garages per character, and most missions will erase your car randomly so... yeah

    -Lack of heists. Come on, you know we want to do the heists mainly. You get to do one at the beginning of the game, and it leads you to believe there will be many with this whole explanation of choice of characters and gaining experience. In the end it really just doesn't matter at all, and you go through suuuuch a long drought in the game where you never even get the opportunity to pull a heist after the first one (you even get teased with a heist where you can't choose any of the characters, and get no actual reward from it)

    -No way to choose a set of outfits your characters can be found in. They always make the characters look like idiots, why can't I lock in the set of outfits that they can randomly be found in? Such a simple thing that can add so much more fun to the game.    … Expand

    Not much I can say that hasn't already been said. Once you've seen one GTA game, you know the basic experience you are in for. And it is a good experience. The world is smaller than San Andreas. Graphics are an improvement on GTA 4. The whole 3 character thing is a new interesting twist.

    The sad part is that the PC edition comes so late. They tried, and the game looks pretty, but controls on the planes and helicopters are much less intuitive and stink of a console port. Cars at least drive well with a keyboard, mouse. The worst console port mistake they made is putting the "special ability" key right next to the gun-swap button when a single tap changes you to unarmed. Great way to end a rampage. (sarcasm)
    My next biggest complaint is how stripped down the world seems outside of missions compared to previous games in the franchise. I know that is because they are trying to funnel people to the online heist mode. I know this is their big focus because the most recent 0.5 gig patch made the base game run slightly worse and looking at the patch notes, it was all new stuff for the online mode.    … Expand

    Initially I loved the game. After first ~15 hrs it felt like 10/10. Graphics were great, optimization amazing, fun gameplay and I loved implementation of 1st person perspective.

    The more I played the more flaws I saw. I liked the characters at first but as the story continues I realized how little personality they have. Franklin earns some money, moves to a fancy house and then his story pretty much ends. Michael has several problems with his family which leads to a bunch of different missions. The problem is - his family is quite horrible, I hated his wife and stupid kids. I get it - he loves them and wants to help them, but I couldn't care less about these characters, which made all those missions extra boring.
    Trevor felt like the most interesting character out of those 3. But then we witness him doing something awfully stupid. One good thing - his missions are most fun, lots of versatility, creativity.

    Overall there are too many missions that simply aren't very interesting. All the set-up missions for heists are terrible. I'd like to see more missions that include flying as well.

    Side activities.
    There are plenty and that's it. Shooting range was fun, I enjoyed hunting and... that's it. You don't get any decent rewards for them and they are not fun enough to just keep doing them.

    You can buy some busineses. They cost plenty, award you with some crapy mini-missions and give you lousy income. Basically, they're a waste of time.

    Earning money is difficult outside of main missions, but on the other hand there's nothing to spend it on. Forget about buying houses (not worth it) or cars (you will be stuck with personal vehicles anyway), so after you buy some guns and upgrades for personal vehicles, you're done.

    Walking around and exploring works for a while then it gets old. There's only a few "random" encounters, you won't find any cool hidden items. Best thing I found was a bunch of topless ladies near some pool, behind a fancy house.

    There's plenty of things to do in GTA 5, but only very few of them I found entertaining and actually worth doing. The main story and characters are in my opinion significantly worse than in previous GTA games.
    Overrated game but still can be enjoyable for a while. Get it when it goes on a sale.

    GTA V as a whole is a great game.

    For Storymode, the storyline in GTA V is one of my favorites in the Grand Theft Auto series, I beat the game on Xbox 360, Xbox One and I hope to beat it on PC (and maybe choose different paths).

    For Online, I suggest you download FiveM or GTA Network so that you can play on other servers, than on the main Rockstar servers (for the time-being). You can you FiveM/GTA Network or you can create a private lobby from the 'Online' tab and just do heist/races in that lobby with your friends. Other than that, the base Online game is filled with hackers sadly. For a 3+ year old game, you would think they would invest money into making a anti-cheat instead of making pointless updates.

    Warning; as of March 2017, you can't transfer your Online character from console to PC or PC to console. So, with that being said. You will need to start all over if you planned on merging your PS4/Xbox One character to PC. It's not possible anymore. It's funny how Rockstar can still put GTA V at the $60 price point (not worth it, get it on sale (maybe $30)), but yet they can't support a small but great feature.    … Expand

    Trevor! (lol) The characterization was tired from the start with the "Homey" black guys (the ONLY black guys we ever get to see in pretty much ANY [game/movie/THING!]) Trevor really got me interested again. Michael's character was all right but got stale in a hurry.

    The missions are a lot more cinematic, graphics are fantastic and the city seems so much more alive, though this is the hardest I think I've heard my GTX760 work since I bought it. Heh.

    Now... as I said, I caught myself looking for the money cheat pretty early. First because I was tired of Michael and Homey and second because after running the city outside of the story I realized that, despite all of the improvements, the graphics, the new functionality, the new cars and whatnot...despite all of it... IT WAS THE SAME GAME!!! All you can really do when not following the story is happy slap civilians, steal their cars and take their money.

    It's GTA: Return to San Andreas.

    Also, I'm from L.A. and the work they did on the city is excellent. It really feels like Los Angeles but the way they manage it is modelling parts of the city almost exactly, putting all the models in a box, shaking it, dumping it on the table and connecting them all as they fall. It's grating. You can't tell which direction you're going but you recognize all the landmarks. It really does get tiresome. If you're not from L.A. it's not a problem.

    Any score lower than 4 and higher than 7 is bs coming from anyone who's played the previous GTA installments (3 - San Andreas). Someone new to GTA should be thrilled but there shouldn't be anywhere near as many user-rated 10s.    … Expand

    - Never got cuffed by the police (not sure if you can actually I think they just shoot you down)
    - 3 characters looked extremely fun at the beginning, but then, if you think about it, you dont immerge in the game at all.
    - Kind of small map, especially if compared to San Andreas, you only got the city and the highlands, ant that's it.

    As mentioned previously, The story lacks criminality. A few heists, a few short missions, and not much else is what you get for criminality. In the previous games you were a Hitman, you worked for the mob, or you were a gangster. None of the 3 main characters fit in these spots. Honestly, I don't like any of the 3 main characters. They lack any personality and are boring cliche's. The story in this game ends rather abruptly, And the end game content is absolutely dreadful. If you love hundreds of boring fetch quests with no reward ( They literally give you $1 for completing one of them ) Enjoy! You have to do this for %100 game completion.
    GTA 5 I find is a direct slap in the face from Rockstar to its previous fans. CJ's house is no longer on Grove st, The Balla's own Grove st now, and this is never explained in the story. This is a direct slap in the face to ANYONE who played San Andreas. The story in this game is absolutely terrible, and wins the worst story of the franchise.

    The Police in this game are broken, and still are broken, and will remain broken. The Police helicopters magnetically follow you around, they crash into objects, they see you through tunnels and underground, a new one spawns the instant you blow it up, and the police on board rarely miss their shots. The police will attack you for the smallest of things, and you can get a wanted level even from sniping someone in the middle of nowhere with a silencer. The police cruisers will even go as far as driving up a mountain to attack you. While the police needed to be more difficult, They went way over board with the cops.

    This is the largest game in the franchise, and they've crammed detail into every corner of the map. Although the mountains have terrible spawnpoints in multiplayer, your bound to find something interesting every so often.

    If you're looking for "Best in the Franchise" aspects to this game, Look to the general mechanics. The shooting is drastically improved for the better and many more guns have been added into the game. The cars and driving are far better then any of the previous games, and car modification is absolutely perfect. The graphics are also vastly improved. These are the award worthy aspects of the game.

    GTA Online, Rubbish since Day one. I've already reviewed GTA Online individually, So I will just give you a shorter version of this.
    GTA Online is cancerous. The community is toxic, the PvP is broken by DLC vehicles, and the game will take ingame money from you wherever possible. GTA Online is packed to the brim with cheaters, and the best Rockstar can do is ban them for 2 weeks, along with the people who mod singleplayer, only to have them come back with their cheats 2 weeks later. R* support is like talking to a wall, Don't bother. They don't care. Don't step into this turd.

    Let it be known that this is NOT the best game in the franchise. Play San Andreas, Play Vice City, Play GTA 3, and take the R* beer goggles off. If you enjoy going on random rampages and exploring, go for it. This game is for you. But in general, this game was over hyped, and doesn't live up to the title of "Best Grand Theft Auto" or even "Best Game".    … Expand

I play it for the story and this time Rockstar did not deliver, the story and characters are just shallow and is all over the place. It really doesn't know what it is, is it a serious story or is it simply satire (bad satire)? I personally enjoyed GTA IV's much more and even GTA Vice City's (which was reasonably simple). I also feel the game itself is pretty soulless, even more soulless than other GTA games, another huge flaw in my opinion.

    The PC Port is ok, however there was a problem that made this game a little less enjoyable than it should be and that's the constant FPS drops whilst driving/flying, it's far too jarring to not be a complaint. Every couple of seconds I'll get drops from 90fps to 40fps (keep in mind, none of the settings change this, I even played on low and the problem still persisted). My graphics card is a GTX 970 and I have an Intel i5 3450 and 16GB RAM, more than capable to play this game at High+ settings. Some lucky souls have got this game working fine, however the majority have experienced these FPS drops.

    The multiplayer is also total **** with modders all over the place and FPS drops being even more persistent. Rockstar have also developed the multiplayer in such a way that to save up for certain vehicles/houses, you have to buy micro-transactions or you grind away for a couple of days (which is extremely tedious).

    Overall it's a very fun game with a jaw-dropping open world, but it has a very weak story which is very odd for a GTA game. Simply not my cup of tea, I much prefer GTA IV.    … Expand

    Having the three characters does add an extra element to the story. However, the story cannot help the limitations of the gameplay. Even with the back-story, all you end up doing is drive something somewhere, shoot stuff, get chased or chase then drive something somewhere else.    … Expand

This is very much a driving game first and foremost; 50% of the time is spent driving from one end of the map to the other, which is not really a problem if you enjoy the drive, but it is quite revealing of what the experience really amounts to. Once you arrive at your destination you will likely be asked to drive somewhere else; This is not an oversimplification. The characters are cliche yet entertaining and the many story exposition sections were mostly fun to watch and interact with. Heist missions make up the core of the campaign and allows the player to choose from different tactical approaches at the onset of the mission; It's a welcome addition but ultimately fails to add a satisfying level of strategy to the experience. Character wise, the agenda is palpable; The white southerner is a depraved murderous maniac, The italian-american is a mobster, and the black kid is a walking vegetable. Overall, the game promotes amorality, pornography, violence by the truckloads. In fact, I'd be curious to research on the ethnic/religious background of the writers and producers. As it is the case with agenda products, the game is very well produced, and the audio-visual realization is great; The world feels alive.

    2. The visuals are dated compared to a game like watch dogs and honestly they require way too much horsepower to run for the framerate to get as low as it does. Watch dogs maxed out gets 80-100 fps maxed out, This game? I've seen it go as low as 25 on a gtx 980 in some areas.
    3. Heist missions online are very fun however replaying them isn't, as 90% of my time is worrying about other people doing their jobs correctly rather than actually enjoying the mission itself.
    4. First person mode was definitely overrated and I find myself constantly switching back to the 3rd person mode instead. It just doesn't feel fluid and even with the FoV setting maxed out it feels wonky and limiting, the weapon position itself feels off as well.
    5. The pc helicopter controls are as bad as gta 4. The design wasn't improved at all.
    6. Still way too many buildings that have no interiors. It really kills immersion for me in this world when 98% of the buildings and houses you see around you cannot be accessed. I was really hoping to be able to break into houses or something this time around to do robbery jobs or something like that but sadly that isn't an option at all. Would have been a great side-activity for online as well. The games world itself just feels too limited to the street which was the same problem GTA 4 had. You see all these great looking buildings and houses and can't access any of it.

    Maybe someone can do a mod that opens up some of these houses/buildings. I realize that its a lot of work doing interiors, especially interiors with multiple levels, but still it shouldn't have been THIS restricted like gta 4 was and they could have enhanced it further over gta 4 by adding some side-activity to go along with it like robbery jobs.    … Expand

    A good solid output, with just a few minor quibbles. Things that seem a little cheeky, like the advert about the new first person shooter, how all the levels are all the same?
    Wondering how many times I do a mission, take a constantly yapping passenger, to a location shoot someone and drive back before I realise “how all the missions are all the same”.
    In fact all in all it’s the same GTA just a different Roman numeral. But hands up, for whatever reason it’s still fun!
    What’s the point of manually swapping out characters, isn't far easier and better for the story continuum to do that for me?
    The story is OK, not great but certainly doesn't bore you to death. Some moments are absolutely hilarious, but only a few brief moments.
    I was impressed by blood splatters that stick with the car and with the scenic locations. The graphics are far better than previous versions, imagine Hare Krishna’s in glorious polygons?
    Of course, Great Graphics means high end machine, but that has always been a PC problem.
    Free Driving like a reckless lunatic and wondering if the police will ever show up? And then wondering if there is a parallel in the real world?
    Wondering why the inclusion of strip joins is a must, is it for the kids that shouldn't purchasing this game in the first place?
    Wondering is a video character painted black, allowed the same leniency as an actual black person using the N word?
    Why do they have to swear so much?

    -маловато элементов кастомизации персонажей. да, их характеры и предпочтения прописаны сюжетом, но тогда зачем вообще вводить кастомизацию? тем более такую кастрированую. Где банданы для Франклина?! Он же gangsta, дайте мне банданы.

    -исчезающие автомобили

    -мелкие недоработки

    - Однотипность миссий
    - Мало ограблений
    - Отсутствие адекватной возможности заработать деньги, особенно запомнились 3 часа поиска денег на то, чтобы улучшить минимально машины для финального ограбления, ибо я всё тратил на оружие, а поверьте.. лучше оставлять 50к перед последней миссией
    - Управление авиацией стало куда хуже, чем в предыдущих частях. Я понимаю для чего это сделано, не хочу писать об этом, но это как минимум некрасиво со стороны разработчиков. С такими полётами нет удовольствия
    - Неслабая часть карты мертва, там ничего нет, и вы там не окажетесь даже при желании достичь 100% прохождения
    - Мыльно, очень, но если не всматриваться - нормально
    - Оказалось, что от 1 лица кататься тут почти невозможно: руль в салоне повёрнут вправо, а вы уже поворачиваете влево

    I gave a 8 to GTA IV and I'm gonna give GTA V a 7. Yes, in my opinion GTA IV is better. Not only that we had to wait about two years before V came to PC, the texture quality didn't really change from current gen consoles.

I had way more fun in GTA IV's Online than in V's. I think that Grand Theft Auto V is an over-hyped game. Yes, over-hyped. It isn't really special. Don't get me wrong, it was a solid game from Rockstar, but IV was fit with so many tiny details I loved and V doesn't have more than half of them. 7/10.… Expand

    Grand Theft Auto is a real world action-adventure video game. It was developed by Rockstar games and published in September 17 2013. The designers are Leslie Benzies & Imran Sarwar. The game is available on Playstation 3, Playstation 4 , Xbox 360, and Xbox one. It is a little on the expensive side at $60.The game is multiplayer and you can play from an first or third person point of view.

    In the game you have missions you have to complete. You might have to rob a bank or steal a plane. All while running from the cops. The missions get harder as you go on. Outside of the missions you can roam the area freely. The game takes place in San Andreas open countryside and the fictional city of Los Santos. You can explore a vast area and while stealing cars,running over people and robbing banks.

    I was playing on an Xbox one. I am not an very experienced video game player so learning how to play was difficult. It took my awhile to learn how to drive a car. Once I got the basics the game was very fun. Riding in the helicopter was tricky but cool. My favorite part was that I was able to customize my player.

    Overall it is an interesting game. I would not recommend it for younger children. It might influence them in a bad way. It had foul language and not very good actions. Older children might like this a lot. It is on the expensive side but it is worth it.    … Expand

    The online mode pushes Shark Cards too much, and that is a fact, most of the items need abusive amounts of grinding, and that is sad, the online mode´s gameplay is really good, especially with the free DLC, but sadly, the DLC content is hidden behind a secret paywall, vehicles cost an absurd amount of money, requiring you to buy some shark cards if you want to get the content at the launch, a small detail that bothers me are the litteral spam calls from the DLC characters, it is annoying as hell, it pushes the content so hard into you it makes you want to buy the DLC content just to stop those calls.    … Expand

I especially loved the radio, with all the witty reports and advertisements. The game looks great with a very realistic look and top notch animations and voice acting. The way the story is told through the three characters Michael, Trevor and Franklin is interesting and unique. The plot falls a bit short sometimes.

    Gameplay: 4
    A huge chunk of the gameplay is driving and cover-shooting. The shooting part is very simplistic and offer none to little challenge. This is probably one of the simplest cover-shooting system I've played, because of the auto-aiming. Because of this, the missions with combat becomes boring very quickly. The driving is the most rewarding part of the gameplay, with good variety throughout the different vehicles. The game also offers a lot of mini games which provides small breaks from the main activities. I know the game tries to be realistic, but the controlss suffers from this and feel very clunky and slow at times. A problem with the 3 main character system was that I didn't get invested in one of them. In previous games, I've bought clothes and customized my character but this felt pointless since I switched between them frequently.

    GTA 5 or GTA Online is a very good game. I can't think of it as of something ordinary and casual, every time you play it - you know Rockstar Games is the best.

I can't think of it as of something ordinary and casual, every time you play it - you know Rockstar Games is the best. Tremendous amounts of work on graphics, animating story, giant world, that is impressive. Their game engine, RAGE or whatever, is simply the best game engine to this moment, it is obvious, especially its scripting capabilities, platform support, networking part.

    Although.. they've ruined something in this specific game - the plot, story, characters, they become absolutely insensible, cartoonish, they actually ruined the story mode with this to the zero. I don't like it. My first portion of critics of this game is that they drifted from IV's sarcastic accents in characters, story and world building, to the more cartoon and "nonsense" style.

    The second part of my dislike is that GTA ONLINE is a weak multiplayer implementation. It lacks "huge" player counts (you will not have 10x10 or 20x20 deathmatches, you will not play in sessions with >=25 players, that's truth), although technically it is possible. Their SOCIAL tools are rotten with "rate limits" sometimes annoying and .. they jail players with palyers of closest countries. For example, i (being in Ukraine) can only play - with Russian, Chinese, Polish and German players, but i want to play with players from North American (less griefing, less non-english speak, less weird). Loading screens, too long, too many. And finally, the fact that half of times i want play GTA Online it is just offline. Can't sign-in, offline mode, yeah. They sent their servers to maintenance or update or etc, without even admitting this. I don't think the contents of multiplayer mode (weak missions, ugly cheat protection, SAMP-influenced game modes) deserve even a review.

    They've added first-person camera but this is very weak. They did not invest enough into it to be a strawberry. Smoothness in general is an issue in GTA V. And music: it is bad, the Soundtrack (not Radio stations) is just worst in GTA history: weak basses, compressed pads... sound unrelated; yep you can play them in your looong loading screens but they are crap in any sense on other sides. As you may see, this does not change my general score of a game but these are nervous points.

    Yes, the review delayed for years, but my accents did not change and they were there initially since i played it myself after PC release.

    Yes, i realize that LC and LS inherit their specific atmospheres and Los Santos is certainly the base for cartoon characters running all over with RPGs, that's the style, but they drifted too far away from what is soo cool conceptually and will certainly win in future if they will return to that.    … Expand

    Un avis des années après la sortie du jeu (et aussi après plusieurs centaines d'heures de jeu, qui permet d'avoir un recul et de l'objectivité) :

    GTA 5, ce sont deux jeux différents : le solo, et le multi. On sent le poids des années sur les graphismes, qui sont un peu datés, mais qui heureusement pour la version PC, peuvent être remis un peu au gout du jour avec les mods graphiques,    Un avis des années après la sortie du jeu (et aussi après plusieurs centaines d'heures de jeu, qui permet d'avoir un recul et de l'objectivité) :

    On sent le poids des années sur les graphismes, qui sont un peu datés, mais qui heureusement pour la version PC, peuvent être remis un peu au gout du jour avec les mods graphiques, les reshades, les options des pilotes graphiques, etc....

    Pour le solo, pas de quoi fouetter un chat. C'est bien, mais mille autres jeux feront mieux.

    Pour le multi, c'est clairement l'atout re jouabilité pour Rockstar : un grand nombre de joueurs qui passent un grand nombre d'heures dessus.
    Certes, le multi est bien. Vu son succès, c'est indéniable. Toutefois, le succès appelle aussi les mauvais côtés, comme un nombre incroyable de tricheurs (euh pardon, la communauté appelle ça "des moddeurs", lol) et d'abrutis dégénérés qui tirent sur tout ce qui passe. Et on sent que le jeu n'est pas vraiment fait pour ça, les premières heures sur le multi ressemblent à un genre de torture sans fin. Heureusement, via une parade de config routeur, il est possible de timeout la session et jouer seul, en multijoueurs (ce qui est totalement paradoxal), seule méthode pour éviter tous les boulets.
    Bon après j'ai quand même +400H sur le multi, j'y ai trouvé du plaisir (mais uniquement avec des amis dans des sessions "solo en ligne").

    Mais surtout, son plus gros défaut restera l'absence de doublages français, ça je ne le digèrerais jamais. J'entends d'ici les pro-VO qui vont me dire "ouais mais la VO elle est super, t'as pas besoin d'une VF" : bah les gars, c'est pas parce que la VF est dispo qu'on vous impose d'y jouer en VF hein, chacun fait comme il veut ! Par contre là, c'est forcé en VO de par l'absence de choix. ... Et tous ceux qui diront "oui mais le jeu il se passe aux states blablabla ils parlent américain c'est normal" je peux t'assurer que si tu fais un gros AAA (voire AAAA dans le cas présent) qui se passe genre en Italie, et qu'il n'y a pas de voix US, ça ne se vendra jamais outre-atlantique = argument rejeté.

    Somewhat weak story: Everyone will have their opinion but i feel GTA V lacked in it's story, it's your every day run and gun and that's about it. The story does have it's high points and also low points. It's high points are the heists while it's low points are finding deeper connections between the characters,

    Franklin: In my opinion Franklin was the most worthless character in v, all he did was complain and complain some more, always complaining about money even though he is living in a free house with a pool and sitting on top of money. All franklin cared about was money didn't care for michael or trevor only himself.

    All in all get this game it's a great game that i'm sure you will love, while the story can be a hit and miss there are some good missions and some good stories here and there with side missions that are sometimes better than the actual story itself.    … Expand

    This game is avowed standard for all open-world games. And it certainly deserves this title.

These games were always about single campaign. Unlike Red Dead Redemption franchise, Grand Theft Auto V is not much different from its predecessor. However sizes of map increased drastically . It was the case when quantity does not mean quality. The game corresponds to the level of the previous ones, but brings very little new stuff.
    Graphics is flawless though

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gta 5 is a game I love and hate at the same time.

    I love the atmosphere, living city, heists, some sa features coming back, customization, countryside(some of it atleast)

    City feels breathing and living. The ads, programs, brands. It feels like it actually exist. Not like other game worlds.

    Customizing your car, character and weapons are needed features.

    Weapon wheel is great addition. In previous games we need to scroll to find the weapon we want.

    I admire attention to detail.

    So much variety unlike 4.

    Strip club is nice.

    Atmosphere is effective. Game world being strong contribute this.

    It is not the best gta, not by a long shot and at some parts it is worse than 4.

    First of all that social club crap is getting on my nerves. Seven disc is already too much but when you get pass that you still need to get an account, install social club and download all the updates. By the time I finally opened this I lost all my excitement.

    Why do I need to open an account? I am planning to play single player not online. And I shouldn't have to open an account for single player. You also need to download updates even if you are not planning to play online. From 65 gb to 88, 5 gb and I uninstalled the game. It takes your excitement, storage and soul.

    Gta 5 storyline is the weakest gta story ever. Three characters mean three seperate stories and it hurts story. Characters and their interaction with each other is good but story feels like it is not complete. Game claims it is about heists but there are like four or five heist in the whole game.

    Franklin's story feels like CJ's and it feels like playing the same story again.

    Trevor's story based upon Michael.

    And Michael's story is about his family.

    Side characters are empty and they are not memorable.

    Now for the gameplay:

    That police system makes you crazy. You shoot someone with a silencer in middle of nowhere and suddenly one star. Police spawn system is trash. When you are wanted they find and come where you are very quickly. It feels like 3D universe's **** police system. There are also no spawning cops outside wanted levels and police stations. They only use some police cars.

    There is nightstick and taser but police never use them.

    Police choppers are too much and when you blow it up one second later another one appears out of nowhere. Since they keep appearing you can't lose the cops after 3 starts without going into tunnels.

    You get a star even if you exist.

    Police and other enemies have perfect accuracy. They can hit you from other side of the map with crappy pistol.

    Health drains too quickly.

    Restaurants are removed. There are almost zero accessible buildings and the ones that are accessible are mostly copy of each other. Some accessible buildings get locked after missions. Being able to access interiors make the game more alive and it adds something to the game.

    Npc's are too angry. Whatever you do they either swear you, start a fight, shoot you or call the cops. Some removed side missions, like classic vigilante. Heists should've been both main mission and side mission. Most weapons(especially melee weapons)feel the same. They don't feel strong enough and there is very little recoil. Melee fighting is mediocre. You just punch, kick dodge and punch or kick again. That is it. It is so basic. Especially after 4's great fighting mechanics. Cars explode too quickly and easily. If you touch ground with rolled over car it explodes. You can't watch car breaking apart like in 4. Physics are dumbed down. Disarming removed. When you buy a property you suffer with repetitive side missions. They keep calling and harassing you. Some side missions and not feeling rewarded when you finished. You can't buy house. There is websites but it is just for cosmetic I guess. You can't change personal vehicles. Why am I stuck to these slow ass cars? Hunting is not good. You can't even do anything with the skin. Now for the map... Desert and forest is not designed properly. They don't feel isolated and deep enough. Too much mountains. They waste space. Generally you don't want to leave los santos because other parts of the map is boring and not interesting enough. It is just long and empty areas. So many wasted spaces and not enough side missions that involves crime. Underwater controls are tiring. You don't even want to explore underwater anyway, it is boring. Dates are removed. Crosshair is too small and sometimes hard to notice. Gta 5 do some things right and so many things wrong. 4 steps forward 3 steps backward.    … Expand

But the game suffers from a serious lack of variety, as once you see things over and over again they become boring. A good number of interiors, memorable side quests and a sp dlc could've solved this but I guess the parent company abandoned the game 4 online so you have to mod the game to bring it to the state it shldve been.
    The game also removed a lot in the way of little details and physics, even gta4 was way better in this regard. I hope gta6 brings back details and interactivity with the world. Like rdr2.

    Online - I tried it once, dropped it and never looked back. Nearly everyone is a jerk and the p2w is unfavourable to newbies. I guess with Cayo Perico things have improved, but it is still just too superficial for me.

    In short,

    This game is good, but not at all. Story is one of the worse from GTA series. Driving is not bad, but I don't like it. Optimization is good, graphics are good. Weapon system, you can carry a 10 pistols, 5 carbines rifles, rpg, mini gun, 5 shotguns. Overall games is good for playing casually and for playing for fun.

    I really like the story, 3 mobs gunning down masses of people. this was very memorable to me.

    BUT if you go to GTA online that is another story.
    Problems:
    1 P2W - more money = more op weapons.
    2 Grind - the grind is too tough compared to how much time you have to pump in.

    I have to make two small premises before doing this review:
    - I will only talk about the history part, therefore not online, as I have not played the online part;
    - If you are thinking of phrases like "Well, you have to consider that this game is 10 years old" or "it's a game made for PS3 and Xbox 360" get it out of your head, because the problems I will list were there 10 years ago as    I have to make two small premises before doing this review:

    Starting from the fact that:
    - it's true, I've never seen a game world so full of different activities to do.
    - Trevor (crazy and out of all logic) for me is the best "characterized" character of the last 10 years in any existing game.

    However, I must point out that:
    - it's all a go from point A to point B, taking up to 10 minutes each time, even in the missions (ok, they put taxis, but everything is slow and cumbersome, do it first in the car);
    - The missions are very guided, you can't go beyond the system that makes you fail;
    - The characters giving the quests are always the same. I remember that in 4 and in San Andreas you met many characters who gave you the quests to start and finish their storyline. I was so sorry not to see at least one woman in charge of something, giving missions (a bit like Elizabeta Torres in GTA IV or Catalina in San Andreas)
    - Like any Open World I play, I first took a 30 minute walk to see how the world reacted. I noticed that the police in the game world do not exist, but they appear in droves as soon as you drop someone or do something wrong with another; (in GTA 4 you met the police on the street, and if you did a nearby crime they were the first to intervene)
    - the northern part of the map (from where Trevor lives upwards), is practically unused, they could have created a more compact map, since there are still activities to be done in industrial quantities.    … Expand

    For me, GTA 5 was a passing game. Yes, it was fun to go through the story, but I didn’t want to stay in this game for a long time. Perhaps because of my age, perhaps just mentally this game did not hook me. After RDR, there is probably not enough plot depth.

    A smooth ride from start to finish. The game shines with the design of the 3 protagonists, especially when they come together and play of each other. Heists were executed perfectly, but some other missions felt like a filler to an otherwise cool story.
