    One of the best Gta ever made after San Andreas, and on pc with mods you can literally do everything that pass in your mind :D

    Plus after all those years still one of the most played games nowdays.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A technical accomplishment as always but there's really nothing to do in end game and the final missions are far from climactic. Even though I chose the 'death wish' option I just breezed through it. I suppose 1,500,000 of free in game cash will do that though zzzzzz. Maybe I won't pre order games anymore. Nothing much to spend your money on really though. Weapons of course, a few vehicles, not many. The map just isn't utilised during the missions either. There's so much more they could have done with it. I'm hoping that GTA online will offer up a reason to keep playing.… Expand

Speaking of bank account I wished there was more to money, I saved my money until I had enough to buy the businesses (except for golf course which is extremely expensive) however I was disappointed the businesses are rather bland, most offer nothing except for X $ per week and you can't even walk into your business or anything. The side missions are pretty repetitive and some are way too long to squeeze out playtime such as collecting 30 metals, etc which takes tedious hours.

    Overall I still like the game a lot though, the world is beautiful, the driving is fun, the story is good. Side activities and options after the story are weak.    … Expand

    This review comes after the PC version has been out for a few months now. The things that are good are the single player story, the visuals, the customization, the performance on a high-end rig. Things that are not so good are the bugs, the rampant cheating in multiplayer, and the dwindling online community.

    At launch I would have given this a solid 9 out of 10. However, over time, more bugs have crept in. There are some FPS drops now even on a GTX 980TI. As I mentioned, the multiplayer cheats and hacks are out of control.

    Overall, the negatives were minor detractors for me. The combined experience is fantastic. The unscripted mayhem that happens in multiplayer missions and heists is pure gold. I can easily recommend picking this one up at full price. If you see it on sale, just shut up and buy it :)    … Expand

    Pros:
    Story
    Amount of content
    Switching characters mechanic

    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.

I've played it on the 360 back in 2013, so I was already familiar with the story and characters... which I've got to say aren't as good or engaging as GTA IV was, but it's still fantastic.

    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.

    The terrible community. While this issue can be found in many other games, GTA V is no different. I feel this shortcoming is self-evident, so I see no reason to expand on it further.

    And that's about it. Not many bad things about this game. I should mention that the keybindings are a little bit illogical for PC. You fly airplanes with numpad... what the heck?

    The Pros:

    Great graphics.
    Great music.
    Still capable of using own music with "built-in" radio station suitably called "Self Radio"
    (This is not rocket science, but some people appear to have trouble using it...I dunno why)
    Fairly decent single player campaign/story mode with a feasible, somewhat realistic plot (for a GTA game at least).
    Playing through the campaign with three separate characters as opposed to just one throughout adds a fresh twist to the game and clearly seems to have allowed for a greater level of plot to be created.
    Moddable. It's entirely moddable. The down side of that is that already some dumbass clowns have already tried to infect people's computers with nasties aplenty - one such mod springing to mind is the angry planes mod - which after having been uploaded, stayed uploaded for some time until it came to various people's attention that it needed taking down pronto.
    The other downside of modding GTA is if you're caught using mods on GTA V whilst online, you do run the risk of getting banned.
    Potential for great multiplayer experiences.

    Cons:

    Only two for steam users - not sure about the retail version though.
    1. Loading times take the piss. That is, to some extent I imagine, likely to change with the aforementioned update due to roll out in a few day's time. Seamless, load-free action. The impression I'm given from that and what I've seen is that if you see something you want to take part in, you just get in there and get on with it, as opposed to the current 'choose a job' wait for the job to load, finish the job, rate the job, load another job, etc ad nauseum. This is going to be a massive update and I really hope it works.
    2. For some reason, Rockstar don't appear to be happy with only having to 'activate' the game once through online means, preferring that if you're going to use the game you paid good money for, having you to wait for it to get 'activated' at launch, every. Flippin'. Time.
    Annoying as hell.
    3. As much as there is a potential for great multiplayer experiences with this game, as you can imagine there's also a potential to come across some pretty stupid wankers. By and large, the community seems to be fairly decent enough, with only a few children ruining it for everyone else.

    GTA for the PC has come along very well and looks to be continuing to improve effectively. If only they would get rid of the blasted long intros and the absolutely ridiculous activation process - when surely random activation checks would be better than on a per launch basis.    … Expand

    Now multiplayer has actually some severe issues:
    - a HUGE map is absolutely not utilized. Very few good missions and only 4heists (not counting 1st one which is tutorial). You end up doing few same missions and heist over and over and over
    - server thing is very badly designed. 50% of the time you watch loading screens and sit in mission/heist setup screen. It's not fluid at all, loading after loading after loading...
    - 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
    - It's extremely repetitive because of a reason I mentioned in first point, so it get boring very quickly because of a lack of proper diversity of activities that are actually fun. Some activities are nearly useless and boring.

I had 3 people play with me online since minute one, non of us played the Steam version.

    Prior to launching the game for the first time I used DUU to clean my graphics driver from my system, and then proceeded to install the AMD 15.4 beta driver that supports GTA V, reboot and reboot. Nvidia has a GTA V release driver as well. Is the game perfect, no, there are still some graphical glitches and last night the game crashed on me. This is to be expected. On day one I played about 5 hours of this game and no crashes, day two I played 4 hours and it ran fine as well, day three I played 2 hours and the game crashed. Oh well, it is playable and these issues will get patched out.

    The online works a lot better than the console versions of the game, you can actually play with people online. You can get into other rooms and heist setups, unlike my experience with the Xbox One version.

    The PC port of GTA V is quite frankly the game in it's most prime state - Hundreds of choices for customizing your settings, strong servers for playing online, gameplay is smooth and the GTA V storyline can be picked up once more without the game feeling like it is outdated.

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

    Well, GTA V was a disappointment. Short SP, bad story, small world, and terrible side missions. Huge step down for the series.

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

GTA V proves promising and I've already played for 200+ hours on the PC without loosing interest. Easily 9/10 or 10/10 game with a few items fixed.

    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.

    The flying shake is to much in my opinion. To each their own on this one.

    * 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

    I feel like Rockstar could have done a little more innovation. Rockstar is a company capable of producing high quality, unique games. GTA V was a rehash of the company's old efforts in new packaging. The only difference in GTA V is the ability to play from 3 different main characters. There really is no "main" character, which is not a bad thing.

    - hackers in online... spawning crap to block the road, freezing you, deleting your weapons (its temporary don't worry), spawning money (because everything is expensive) and also trying to crash your game by spawning alot of stuff if you want to report them..

    - my experience with the Rockstar support wasn't really good to be honest -_-
    - lack of biker content/biker dlc... (not very important for me but alot of people want this and i totally understand why...so much racing/military/mafia content but no biker DLC for biker crews...)

А в оригинале с моментально тормозящими машинами и ездящими как по рельсам - игра то еще говнище.После прикрутки пары костылей на реальную физику транспорта, разлока максимальной скорости в 120 миль в час и добавления спидометра - очень даже годная игра.

    Without a doubt technicly most impressive GTA and open world crime game even in 2016 and overall great game, BUT i cant help myself but feel that R* put way too much emphasis to GTA Online and cow milking there with MTS than in single player where story didnt felt as good as it was in GTA IV or Vice City nor the missions that were something that made San Andreas so amazing.

Plus while theres loads of attention to detail in game world and gameplay, theres also huge lack of it at the same time. Game also feels vastly dumbed down compared to GTA IV, like the driving is too arcady, several cars have awful handling that they feel like cardboard boxes on wheels, hand to hand combat is pretty bad, Euphoria physics also are much inferior to IV, car damage models are even worse. PC port is great, but still has some annoying issues like not being able to turn on ambient occlusion for some mind boggling reason and options left out, but atleast runs like a miracle even on low end soviet toaster as my GTX 650 1 GB.… Expand

    I'll break this down between single player and online.
    Because I have different opinions on both. First is Single Player because its easy. Single Player is a near perfect masterpiece. Probabaly the absolute best single player game of all time. If you are looking into this game for SP, then its a no brainer. However, next we have "GTA Online" Its a    This is my 600 hour review.
    I'll break this down between single player and online.
    Because I have different opinions on both.

    First is Single Player because its easy.
    Single Player is a near perfect masterpiece. Probabaly the absolute best single player game of all time. If you are looking into this game for SP, then its a no brainer.

    However, next we have "GTA Online"
    Its a mixed review.
    I have a lot of hours into online and I will continue to put a lot of additional hours into online.
    PROS:
    It gets constant content added several times a year the release "free" DLC's
    There really is a lot to do, if you wish you can really role play the most corrupt criminal to the fullest extent.

    CONS:
    I'll just start out with the biggest con.
    The game has clearly taken a big turn in the last couple years and its intesifying toward micro-transactions.
    Its pretty obvious, the keep raising the prices of items you purchase in game, compared to the amount of money you earn. Unless you are dedicating your life to this game, its pretty hard to obtain the in game items. And if you are starting out as a new player, the amount of money you need to catch up is really a huge obstacle.
    I am not one of those people who are defiantly against micro transactions, but these aren't even fair micro transactions.
    Rockstar keeps raisning the price of the in game items, but the amount of money given out on a "shark card" has never been adjusted.
    Here is an example, a 8 Million dollar shark card (unless on sale) costs $99 always has.
    It use to be that most items were under 1 million with the extremely high dollar things around $2 million.
    So for $99 you could typically buy say 5-15 items for $99.
    Fast forward to today.
    Most items are over 1 million closer to 2 million on average) and the most expensive items are 4 million with a yet to be released item that is going to be 6.5 million. Rockstar is really going for a money grab here and they aren't even attempting to hide it. Not to mention that the latest DLC the amount of money you can earn per hour has actually gone down from the previuous ones. So higher prices to buy stuff, lower income from doing work. So you are forced to not really play the new DLC but the old ones for cash. Which is a shame because the new missions are actually very fun, they just dont pay well.

    So if you are new and want to ever come close to catching up to current players you have 3 choices. 1.) Buy Shark Cards and ALOT of them. Several hundred dollars worth. 2.) Play an insane amount of hours, quit life and play this game every day, all day long 3.) Cheat - Find mods or a modder and get "modded money". Warning you can actually get banned for this. I cant even beleive I am giving this advice out, I use to depise money modders, but given the greed coming out of Rockstar now days, I really understand why new players would do it, and I dont frankly care anymore.

    So you might ask, Why do I have this game as recommmened still.

    When it comes down to the game itself, single player and even online.
    It's fun, there is a lot of varitey, I can do missions, I can race cars, I can pvp, I can play mini games (and there are dozens of varietys of games) I've played 600 hours and honeslty still to this day havent even played 1/2 the things you can do. There is a massive amount of content. The game is fun.

    The politics behind the scenes is horrible, the comminity is toxic, and the micro tranactions are getting out of control. But at the core its still fun and I still enjoy it after all this time.
    But on the other hand we probabbaly wouldnt get all these updates without the microtransactions, so there is that factor too.

    I rate GTA 5

    Single Player gameplay:
    10/10

    8/10 (-2 for community)

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.

The online mode is.. great and bad, if you just bring a bunch of friends and mess around it can be a lot of fun, but all these flying bikes and cars are just dumb, am I playing a Grand Theft Auto game or a Saint Row game? Now story mode is great, the story line is not perfect but this game is dumb fun and I like it, the idea of being able to control three different characters offers great possibilities in missions. But the game is maybe a little too short. And if you play the game with mods its even better, I just like messing around and make my characters look dumb before just blowing everything up or even give myself a gun that can shot cars or even make every npc shoot each other and more.

    Good game and as of now, it only cost 30$, I 100% recommand it.    … Expand

    Not gonna lie, Grand Theft Auto V is one of the best Open World games. Graphics and the Gameplay are really good. The story itself is one of the best stories I've ever played. At first I gave the game 7 points, but later found it to be unjustified and improved to 8. But why not 9 or 10? Well, I'm an online player. and the online mode in GTAV is catastrophic. Endless loading screens andNot gonna lie, Grand Theft Auto V is one of the best Open World games. Graphics and the Gameplay are really good.

In addition, there are hundreds of modders. Good game, bad online mode.… Expand

    If you hadn’t had a chance to play it yet at all though, and your computer can handle it, the PC version does definitely feel like the definitive version.

    Rockstar promised that the PC edition of GTA V would be the best way to experience this breathtaking game, and that’s exactly what it is. [06/2015, p.48]

    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.
