    It’s just the best and only game in that genre. Nice graphic, even in 2020. Developers made a gorgeous work , created such a detailed city which you want to live. 10/10

    I do not like the Online mode and I hardly ever play it.

    That being said, I love to play single-player mode. Sometimes I just start the game up and cruise through the motorways for as long as I can, it's always relaxing.

The game is fun even when you are not completing missions, you have tons of things to explore, and tons of side missions to complete. The level design in this game is so good that even when you've completed a level you can come back to it and complete it by using a different strategy, it literally has hours and hours of fun packed into it. I got this back in 2016, and I've been playing it ever since.

    I think this is one of the best games ever developed to date. Its a 10/10 of game, and I recommend it to everybody. The only flaw is its huge size. Other than that its a solid game, and can be found for quite cheap at around $10. (Its free until 21st May, 2020.)    … Expand

Franklin's story started out in a great way that reminded me of GTA San Andreas but all fell apart when he met Michael. Rather than creating his unique personality, he became a more submissive character serving Michael. R* reserved all the over the top moments with Trevor , who itself is a psychopath and is the most annoying character. The bank heists were fun but again it didnt provide enough options to plan. Lamar was the most interesting character besides the protagonists, and his missions with Franklin was very well designed. Unfortunately, after a few missions he is thrown out of the story. And most importantly, there is NO proper antagonist in the game! The Stangers and Freaks missions were good but they werent great either.… Expand

    Graphics pretty good.
    It shows that his world is a living world.
    The story is good, but it would have told the story better if he had told one character instead of three.

Los gráficos detallados y realistas, junto con una amplia variedad de misiones y actividades, brindan una gran diversión.

    This game, the SCOPE of this game just blows me away. I played several days now and I am maybe 10% into the story. This is a game where you might find yourself just sitting in your car, listening to the great radio stations for an hour or two, or just driving around in the country side, climbing a mountain or hiking a trail, or having fun in director mode...or of course...follow the story :) The realism of this game, most of the time, is just mind blowing.
    I am running this on my i7 system with a GTX970 at very high settings and the game is smooth as it can get. I haven't had one single crash. One of the games where it's evident they really wanted to make a good version for PC and not just a halfa$$ port.
    I don't have too much to complain about this game, in fact I once stated this is probably the most impressive and possibly "the best" game of all times. And this should mean something. The only issue I have is that the scope of the game is just massive (aka: too much too see and to do.. :) and that getting through the story does not feel as "connected" as in previous GTA titles and you're sometimes stumbling not knowing what to do next...unless you then check the map to see where you can go to continue with the story. I had the impression that with former titles, getting through the story felt more "guided", while the scope/size of this game is just so big you can lose track on occasion. But maybe that's just me.
    Ultimately, I'd say that this game ALONE would be worth it someone buying or building a high-end PC. Most negative reviews I am seeing don't make any sense.    … Expand

    Cons:
    Wish there was more of a focus on Michael's story with his family. Thought they were the most interesting.
    The music collection could be better, wish there was a Hardstyle channel.
    Lester not being a playable character, it would have been fun to play as him doing stuff on his computer to help the team.

    Not the best installment in the GTA series (that spot goes to San Andreas or Vice city) but its still pretty damn good. on with the review then.

    -the gameplay is way difrent than any gta game. not in the sense i mean you still run around and shoot stuff but the health system is much more realistic which forces you to think before you act (unlike in GTA 4)
    -the story is absolutely hilarious. it is comedy and tragedy in a nice mix.
    - the map is not locked so you can go where ever the hell you want right from the start.
    Cons:
    - even though its a pro this can sometimes be a con and that is the realism. if you expect gta 4 level of badass like niko belic just dont bother its very realistic and that can put some people off but not me.

    Although the game did not quite live up to its hype, it did provide me with a great deal of entertainment. Excellent writing, superb voice acting, and wonderful game mechanics are marred only by the mundane things that the game sets before the player. Who wants to drive through traffic in a car once you have driven about in a tank? Nevertheless, it is an A- game is still well worth playing.

    TECHNICAL: 9
    The best tweaking options ever. My 2-year old PC (about PS4-level) ran GTA4 at 15-25 FPS, but GTA5 runs at 30-45 FPS despite higher resolution and intenser graphical settings. I would've liked an explanation of each buzzword (instead of just VRAM cost, which doesn't perfectly translate to FPS). My recommendation: turn off MSAA, turn down Post-Processing, but leave Shadows on "very high" (so moving headlights will cast shadows) and Grass on "high" (for foliage immersion).

    PRESENTATION: 10
    (Story - 9): Dialogue and characterization is so excellent it encourages progression even during simple taxi missions. Mike and Trevor are equally psychotic, but Mike feels guilty and Trevor hates that hypocrisy, an interaction paralleled by the Franklin-Lamar relationship. Franklin will compromise his morals for money. Trevor's in it for fun (nothing the player can do as him is "out of character"), and might snap and kill Mike at any time. It's great. My only quibble is how the GTA4:TLAD characters are treated.
    (Graphics - 10): Numbers changes used to designate engine changes, but GTA5 is GTA4 with tweaks. The level of detail is amazing, with thousands of little touches: roof lights when you enter cars, gorgeous sunsets, how distant lights halo out at night, smoke/dust effects, etc. Shifting reflections on your car hood and moving shadows do more to create a sense of speed when driving than any motion blur could.
    (Physics - 9): The Euphoria engine that procedurally blends animations with ragdoll physics (for humans and animals) makes for glorious car crashes and shootouts. I love how enemies can ragdoll and still get back up, so you have to confirm kills.
    (Audio - 7): Good music, probably not at GTA:VC or GTA:SA level.
    (Force Feedback - 7): You feel things like the rough of a freeway, but less in 3rd- than 1st-person view, and I prefer more frequent rumbling.

    CONTROL - 9
    It's seamless, loading only on starting. 1st-person view on foot is recommended, 3rd when driving, and it remembers each preference separately. The interface is clean and functional, and time slows when you switch weapons or change radio stations. The game auto-detects when a controller is connected and accepts either input.
    GTA is built on open-world driving and shooting. The new element is shifting between the three characters at will. In one mission, one was flying a helicopter, another shooting out the back of it, and the third sniping from a nearby roof, all working in concert to avoid and take out chasing copters. Each character has a special ability, like slowing time or invincibility. Friendly AI is amazing; it can competently shoot AND drive (eat your heart out, Halo), to the point where, on one stealth mission with sniper cover, I kept switching and yelling "no, let ME do the fun stuff" at whichever AI I wasn't controlling.
    (Shooting - 7): Shooting is good, especially in first-person. I miss visible gas tank covers on cars from GTA:SA (you can still aim near the left rear wheel, but you have to guess). The worst part is that, unlike GTA4, NPC's now drive off when you aim at them. In GTA4 you could threaten a driver out of a car, which was better gameplay than just pressing a carjack button; now, even if you shoot them, they slump on the gas pedal and drive off.
    (Driving - 10): Vehicle physics have improved massively from GTA4. GTA4 cars felt slow, ruining what had been the best vehicular "feel" in all of videogames. Driving is now at the GTA 3/VC/SA/MidnightClubStreetRacing perfection level. You can do donuts again. Flight controls are similarly great, the equal of GTA:SA's, but now with wind buffeting your copters/planes. Parachuting works great and I liked the bullseye-landings side missions.
    Due to the constant rolling 3D waves, the water physics are now the best in any videogame (including Wave Race and AC4:Black Flag). Whereas Ubisoft claims it couldn't put online sailing multiplayer in any of the three Assassins Creed sailing games (3, 4 and Rogue) because it was "too hard" to standardize their water physics, Rockstar's GTA5 supports 8-player jetski races with the full 3D rolling waves and seaspray.
    (Melee - 3): Fistfighting is not improved, disappointing given how common it is. You can only attack or dodge-then-counterattack, and sadly the physics engine doesn't differentiate one fistfight from another.

    DESIGN - 8
    You can replay missions (including most side missions) from a menu, and time of day autoshifts forward where appropriate on triggering a mission, but for some reason neither statement applies to street races. Sadly, every mission design has been repeated from past GTA's.
    GTA:Online Races and Deathmatches work fine, but Heists never will because they aggravatingly fail whenever any player dies. But singleplayer is huge (40+ hours) and well worth it alone.    … Expand

    Let's be honest. It's easy to give a game that you LOVE a ten out of ten, but nothing is perfect and GTAV is no exception. Having said that, I have given this a ten out of ten. So why have I contradicted myself? Well, I would give it a nine out of ten based on the game itself.

Well, I would give it a nine out of ten based on the game itself. The map is massive and open and yet when you get right down to ground level it still is obsessively detailed. The story is a little flimsy in places and some missions are downright infuriating.

    However, that extra point that puts this at ten out of ten comes purely from the GTA Online experience. Seriously, go online with 3 of your friends on Skype or Teamspeak and you will be hard pressed to find anything more entertaining. The game offers so much more for online players than GTAIV had, and it shows. Countless missions, official races, deathmatch arenas, heists and they are STILL adding to it. But when you're done with the official stuff? Well, you can go ahead and make your own. Hell, you can even come up with your own games to play within it. Turn off all your HUD elements and then try to find a specific location. Hell, make it a race.

    Assign one of your friends as the target and the rest of you have to eliminate them using only their car. Why not turn the HUD off for that as well? Hardcore things up a notch. :P

    Seriously, If you've played the last gen version on PS3 / 360, you owe it to yourself to try this out on next gen / PC.

    The games online feature of course being it's main draw has somewhat overshadowed the games single player mode. I thoroughly enjoyed the story. The characters are well written and interesting. They avoid the "2D trap" where characters simply feel to static. Unlike your FPS Standard gunman who shoots because he is a soldier, GTA V's cast feel like they actually change throughout the story. They mold and change from moment to moment. They carry the story forward and ultimately i think anyone who skips straight into Online, is missing a large portion of GTA V's fun.
    That's not to say GTA V Online isn't pretty great aswell, although it did have its fair share of problems, most of them have at this point been fixed, but hacking does still pose an issue to experiencing GTA Online for what it is. It never feels like an addition to the main game, it is a fully fledged, game in and of itself. GTA V might be one of the most enjoyable games ever created.    … Expand

Those who are frustrated at the issues downloading and the Rockstar social club, it is understandable, but rating the game based on those issues and not the game itself is very unreasonable; the purpose of a review to provide insight on the game itself, not reviewing overloaded servers on the day of launch.
    No game is perfect, thus rating any game 10 is idiotic, but if any game is deserving of my highest praise, GTA V would be that game. I highly recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of sandbox games or a fan of previous Rockstar Games.    … Expand

    The story mode draws you through the story of three men and those they subsequently interact with, drawing them together as a group you get to play as and switch through on the fly. While challenging, you are drawn into their tale while reaking havoc across Los Santos and more. The creativity put into the side details is wonderful. TV and movie theater shorts, random encounters on the streets of LS, the radio or even just cruising a back alley and seeing a bum scratch his butt and sniff his finger. Someone got paid to program that. Just explore, drive around with friends, punch a whale. It's all up to you and what you chose to do, with plenty of it available to you to boot. At the end of the day, it's truly a hilarious and engrossing game. A must buy if you haven't yet.

    Some cons to improve on.

    The FOV slider at max akin to a 90 year old lady with binoculars taped to her face. It's abysmal without the FOV mod and makes 1st person completely non functional for a large sector of the PC community. R* needs to increase the in game FOV slider to a much higher value.

    Online needs more stuff to do. Casino games, board walk games, the arcade machine from the last incarnation. There just is not enough after a short bit with friends... Even if it means including bowling.

As I recall it still sold ridiculously well for consoles, so the devs won't learn anything. They made a very creative and innovative character swap feature, but it doesn't add that much fun to the playing experience. There is also nothing super immersive about the game world. Some staple GTA game elements are missing, and it doesn't reach the quality of the other games in the series.

    I think it fails predominantly because they made 3 protagonists for you to play. There also is not a clear antagonist for you to butt heads against. This makes the story mediocre at best. You just don't care. They spread themselves thin and it really shows around the middle of the game when the missions become boring.

    Buying houses is gone, and so is that feeling of moving up in the world. Managing properties is pointless, and you cannot even afford them all by the end of the game. The money system is tied to using the computer to buy stocks, which is a hilariously idiotic concept. Secret items aren't even shown to you initially or remotely worth hunting out. You remember in San Andreas when they showed you how to spray over tags in a quest? Apparently the devs couldn't be bothered to do that here. Most of the defining GTA open world game elements are gone or irrelevant.

    Sure, the game world is beautiful, but there is no substance. It is like a cardboard cutout Hollywood set. Beautiful facade, but hollow. Saints Row has managed to surpass GTA in making the type of game that Rockstar revolutionized. That is so unbelievably baffling.

    The bank heists were cool and all, but they shipped off the content to MP so that you cannot experience it solo. They introduce creating a crew and leveling them up over time, and then you don't see your crew again for 8 hours. It's like the game wanted you to be a bank robber, but then decided against it. The game should have been completely about doing heists because nothing in the series has made that a focal point. Rockstar had a good idea and failed to deliver on it. Instead, you get a fun, exciting mission, every once and a while..

    Also, I don't understand why anyone would want to race or do team deathmatch in GTA Online. Why do you want a graphic intensive world weighing you down for DM? Why deal with the terrible control of GTA cars to race competitively? I don't see MP appeal for this genre at all. Sandbox MP should not be normal car racing and DM. Also, the whole online experience is PvP even if you are just trying to ride around and explore, or do simple missions. That means a max level guy will see you on the map and kill you out of boredom while you are going into Ammunation or something trivial.

    The MP is uninspired. The heists are the only thing of value to do, but then you have to deal with a truly terrible GUI as well as a lot of loading times. The SP story falls flat on its face, and the game has no meat.

    I am truly gutted. Nevertheless, it is still fun, and there are moments that are worth experiencing. The problem is, you compare V against the other successful games in the series and it fails to rise to their level.    … Expand

    - matchmaking - this game is absolutely not designed to play with people you don't know (aka randoms) it makes frustrating game even more frustrating. For example, leaving in the middle of heist, ruining mission on purpose, or playing unprepared - like going to heists at rank 5.
    - server stability issues - sometimes it's ok, sometimes nearly unplayable - things are teleporting, lag freezes, game hangs up in certain scenarios or ppl get disconnected. It definitely has technical issues

    I'm happy I started to pre-load early (mine was done by Saturday before release) so apart from an hours install and patch I was off and running. I've taken most of this week off of work and done nothing but play it.

    Also enjoying GTA Online with friends, again the PC version just seems so much more better.

    I've been waiting for what seems like forever to play this game. I don't play consoles, so it finally feels good to experience the game via PC. Love the gorgeous graphics/lighting,great voice acting,Franklin/Michael/Trevor dynamic,nasty language,sweet rides/customizations,hilarious comments,radio stations/music,heists,video editor & the many things-to-do. No crashes and fps are good for my GPU.

    I mainly bought GTA V on the PC so that I could play with my friends, since they all have PCs and not Xboxs, and also for the mods. The game is truly great, but the modding community is now being attacked by rockstar? I can't even use my trainer mod in single player now, and my FOV mod doesn't work, nor does my police mod (LSPDFR).

    Good port,good story,but GTA online is terrible after last patch...fps drops from 60 to 25 every 5 seconds...downgrade graphics settings didn´t help and Rockstar support is big mess..... Their policy is just about the money , money and money. Just **** on you...so 8/10.

    * always on DRM
    * server problems for the first few days after the release. Playing was not possible for many players
    * multiplayer uses peer to peer technology, which sucks for online gaming
    * constant connection problems when starting multiplayer (connection timed out)
    * when the connection fails, instead of retrying it puts you in single player every **** time
    * disconnects, lag
    * sometimes savegames are corrupted, both in single player and online. The support doesn't care how many hours you put into the game, it's your problem. They already have your money, so go **** yourself
    * terrible, terrible support who barely speak english, simply ignore your support request and give their copy/paste answers
    * crash/freeze bugs
    * very long loading times in online sessions
    * heists are a great concept, but the implementation sucks. It's almost impossible to find a team, because you only progress when you are the host. So everyone hosts, but noone joins
    * can't skip cut scenes in heists. They can take up several minutes. It's nice the first time, but when the team wants to skip it **** let them
    * the game forgets your weapon choices (amongst other things) and there's no way to quickly select your favorite weapon. Pressing the quick select button toggles to the next weapon in that category instead of selecting the currently chosen weapon. Absolutely silly.
    * online races are abysmal, especially with the lag. It's a battle of who manages to escape the mass collisions and there's little to no skill involved

    The game could easily be 10/10, but with all these issues, especially in the multiplayer part, 8/10 is being generous.    … Expand

While the game world may not be as diverse as San Andreas', it's still a lot more interesting than GTA IV's Liberty City. Exploration is almost impossible to resist and you'll find yourself just driving around the world doing random activities between missions, or just seeing what distractions this version of San Andreas has to offer. The missions are fun, the different playable characters keep things interesting, and the graphics, while not mind blowing, are a big step up from GTA IV. Performance-wise, if you have even a half-decent graphics card and a CPU that can run modern games then you'll be playing at 60 FPS easily. I'd even go as far to say that this is the best PC port this generation. Just a word of warning, you're going to at least need 1 gigs of VRAM to just play the game. Anything less will simply not be enough, and at the time of writing there is a memory leak issue, so make sure you have at least 6 gigs of RAM and have your page file enabled (if you don't you're going to run into constant crashes). Other than that the game runs fine.… Expand

The game was decent, it looked good and the controls were alright and it had most of the makings of a GTA game, except for the WOW factor. I just don't think it lived up to the hype (or the time it took them to finally come out with the game). That being said, GTA is my favorite franchise and has my favorite game of all time in its repertoire (I've been gaming for about 20 years now). So I expect a lot but they also should somewhat have me in "their pocket" but they fail continually to make something groundbreaking. These 10/10s and 100/100s are just ridiculous.… Expand

    The game looks and feels fantastic....other than the driving which is as bad as any other GTA game. Still, the immersion that exists as you are driving down the freeway in what feels like a real city is unmatched by any other game. Still the more you play the illusion is revealed. You cannot enter any buildings, you cannot interact with people unless it is to attack them. It is understandable, but disappointing at times nonetheless. You walk past a nightclub at night and can hear the music inside but you cannot go in. how cool would that have been? At least a few area. I would have liked to have seen more shops maybe, something. It is kind of going back to Disney World as an adult, knowing everything is just a shell steals the magic away from you.

    Anyway, 8 out of 10 is a fair score for the game. It is still awesome despite the few shortcomings.    … Expand
