    Maybe the best computer game ever made, for any system. You certainly could argue it. I've played all the GTAs, each one right at release and again and again repeatedly over the years, and I've been a huge fan since the very first top down GTA way back when, and this is still the best GTA ever. It's so good it's almost literally unbelievable.

I've played all the GTAs, each one right at release and again and again repeatedly over the years, and I've been a huge fan since the very first top down GTA way back when, and this is still the best GTA ever. It's so good it's almost literally unbelievable.

    The PC port is clearly the best version of V, with an almost surreal amount of refinement, graphics options, control tweaks, full Surround/Eyefinity support that even includes HUD movement to prevent bezel interference, and the much lauded and stunningly amazing First Person Mode. The open world is alive and constantly in motion, the game is absolutely beautiful, the dialog is sharp and accurate, and the amount of content is gigantic bordering on ridiculous. The minigames are better than, or at least very comparable to, the full game titles that inspired them, and there's so many!

    The game does require a very powerful system to appreciate fully, but since when is that a negative? I'm extremely pleased that Rockstar pushed the envelope of what was possible, because the results speak for themselves. With the review system (specs below) I get steady 30fps through most every type of scene and location in the game, and that's with everything maxed out and vsync ON, except for FXAA instead of MSAA, and no reflection MSAA. Everything else totally maxed out and still 30fps @ 6040x1080. I think that at least merits a o_0, don't you? It's not a bad port at all, it's just got very high hardware requirements and people expect too much out of their old rigs.

    I've only played the game 13 hours so far (a drop in the bucket considering how endless the game is) but the adventures I've had already were so insane and numerous that I can barely recount them all. Spontaneous Burt Reynolds two wheeled flat spinning pistol blazing police chases. Rush hour fender benders that resulted in multiple (hilarious) vehicular manslaughters. Moody train rides across the countryside. Fistfights with angry winos. Giving anyone and everyone The Finger. The first jewely store heist that by itself makes Payday 2 look like an insulting pile of crap. And these are just the first few bites of a massive, 27 course, impeccably prepared banquet of video gaming destruction.

    So many developers getting lazy and greedy these days, but like Elzar the Neptunian Master Chef, Rockstar keep kicking it up another notch. BAM! Best 60 bucks I've ever spent on entertainment. I will play this masterpiece 300 hours or more... by next weekend. Truly GOTY, and one of the best video games of all time. For once, you can believe the hype.

    Review system: i2500k @ 4ghz, ASUS STRIX GTX 980 @ 6040x1080 bezel corrected, 16gb DDR3 1600, Intel 730 SSD, HTOMEGA Striker 7.1, Win7 x64

    ---------------

    UPDATE 6/18/2015: 425 hours later I've beat the single player game and almost 100% it, leveled up my online character to level 121... and I still love GTA V to death.

    Sure, Rockstar has failed miserably to curb online hacking, they don't listen to their own community, their patches add very little, the "exclusive content" they reserved for returning players is an insult and a slap in the face to those that have supported them for so long, multiplayer is a buggy and hacker filled mess with far too little exclusive content, the game itself still regularly freezes up on me for absolutely no reason at all, and they've been incredibly cynical about marketing their stupid cash cards that cost a fortune and add absolutely nothing to the game...

    ...but GTA V is still incredibly awesome. You simply can't deny how awesome it is. Sorry. Can't be done. Best GTA ever, one of the best PC games ever, the end.    … Expand

    Worth the wait!
    In this era of poor quality ports, it's refreshing to get something on PC that has had a lot of work put into it to let the advantages of PC gaming shine. The game looks spectacular, playing at 65fps @ 2560x1440 everything maxed (except grass & AA), it almost looks photorealistic at times. At least the city, environment, and cars. The people still look like rubber. Edit:    Worth the wait!

    Gameplay is a blast. I've put in over 100 hours - on single player. And still haven't finished. I've been taking my time, exploring, enjoying the activities and adventures. The level of detail, quality of models and textures, care put in, is all amazing. Take Dying Light as a comparison -- there are about 4 different building types, and about 10 different objects inside buildings, all looking the same (chest, basket, drawer, closet, first aid cabinet.) Still a fun game, but in GTA V I don't see models and texture being reused over and over. The massive, sprawling world is full of unique little nooks and crannies.
    The Online portion is fun, but sessions are often ruined by hackers. It's best to just play with friends. It loads painfully slow (on my SSD no less), and starting heists, the best activity, can be difficult and time consuming to get people invited and successfully started. Same with the random jobs. Even if you get someone to join you, it loads painfully slow, and if they glitch out, you bomb back to Freemode with yet another long load time. Sadly it seems most people in Freemode are just running around death matching.
    I didn't buy it for the online, but I consider it a huge bonus. At its best, GTA V Online, doing heists with competent friends WITH MICROPHONES, can be a totally wild gaming experience. Unfortunately only about 10% of people seem to have microphones, and they are crucial for coordination. Not to mention the goobs who bail halfway through a heist and bomb you back to Freemode. At its worst, GTA V Online is still somewhat entertaining; driving around and shooting at people and ramming them.    … Expand

    One of the best PC releases to date.

    If you are having problems, that sucks, it's few and far between.

    It has been a flawless release so far, no bugs no glitches. Everything ultra with well over 60 fps.

    Despite some people having problems (which is inevitable on PC as everybody has different rigs on different operating systems), Rockstar have been very quick to fix any bugs that managed to slip through on release.

    It was a 10/10 game on it's original release on the 360, and I'm grateful that they took the time to work on improving the game to make the most of PC hardware. It has the best physics engine of any game I've played, there is so much attention to detail in the city, and the AI pedestrians really make the place feel alive. Stellar voice acting and writing (if a little puerile, but that's part of the charm). My only complaint is the loading times between multiplayer jobs, but the single player alone warrants 10.10, it seems silly to mark something down for having extra features.    … Expand

    This game is absolutely amazing. I had it downloaded off steam and installed in about an hour and a half.

    This version is superior to the console versions in every way. Probably the best release on PC in years, maybe since Battlefield 2/Diablo 2/Half Life 2. The game is very well optimized and has already been patched 2 or 3 times in the 2 weeks since release to fix crashes/bugs/minor performance issues. This is Rockstar's best release in their history.

    One of the most innovative and diverse game in the decade.
    Great graphic and AI.
    Lots of side quests, random events, easter eggs.
    Nice story.
    Gun control is a lot better.
    GTA online is fun too.

    But I love the car physics in GTA IV more.

All server wait times are faster, I don't get kicked incessently. A few issues trying to get in servers with crew members but they might have been full or something. I've seen some janky cars around during some missions but other than that smooth as hell. Graphics are gorgeous, first person shooting and driving feels fantastic. First person shooting feels just about as good as dedicated FPS's, but the game has so much more.

    Single player is fantastic, online is fantastic. Loving finally getting to play this game with my PC friends. Brought my character over from consoles, went nuts on the server, drove my mental state into the abyss and spent about $30k in ammo. Worth every penny. get this game...thru steam.    … Expand

    I don't care they took 1.5 years to make it to PC or delayed it for 2 month. It was well worth the wait, and I'm even glad I got a much better game than the console version thanks to that.

    I had some hiccups cracking open the game to play for the first 2 hours but that memory is long gone thanks to what was inside the game.

    In the sea of crappy AAA titles copy-pasted every year with gazillion DLCs to milk the gamers to death, this game shines like a diamond so I just HAD to make a review of it.

    GTA has been around since 1998 and a core franchise of Rockstar but there have been only 5 main titles yet, which says something.

    Best game ever for sure. Great graphics, physics and gameplay. Big variety of online modes. Some issues with steam preload and instalation at day 1 is no reason to give it low score. This game is perfect. You can do here anything you want.
    No doubt, it worth 50 bucks I payd.
    120 preloaded gigs of 120!

    Great optimization. Single 970 and I can play on Triple Screens (1080p each, never below 55fps, on settings that give visual similar to PS4/XB1)... or Single 1080p monitor at almost maxed settings. Well worth the wait.

    I'm not going to touch the game itself, only the port, the game itself is IMO as flawless as a game can be right now.

    This... Ladies and gentlemen, is why us PC gamers cant have nice things. So GTA comes out with a game. It isnt 100% compatible with everyone in the world's hardware and internet so we come to the review websites and give it a 0/10?

    Developers dont want to port games because you people slander their product without ever having tried it.

    I am frankly quite astonished that the game runs perfectly smooth, with everything maxed out. It looks really pretty, and quite honestly much better than any console version I have seen.

    There was a small issue with the game crashing at one certain part of the map, but since I am not a moron, I understood this had to do with a corruption issue of one of the *.rpf files. I verified my game cache through steam, and it found two files which needed to be reacquired. After this, the game has run flawlessly.

    My gaming experience has been wonderful, and I really enjoyed the story. Now what I have left to do, is larking about, causing havoc. :-D    … Expand

    Driving is better than the old one and there is much more depth in the missions. Object interaction is pretty awesome as is the world detail. I should note that I now have an Xbox controller I use for driving and mouse/keyboard when I need to shoot.

    Optimisation is fairly good too they spent some time polishing it for PC which is nice to see. 90% smooth performance on an i5 with an ageing 2gb 7870.

    Everything runs smooth as buttocks for me as I get constant 60fps on high settings. I tried to max everything and I run at an average of about 40 fps with frame drops, which I hate. The Nvidia driver probably did the job on optimizing the game for my 770m GPU. I expect to run this game maxed out on my desktop. I have no idea how this game runs on Radeon cards; but from reading other people's reviews, I think its not fully optimized, yet.
    Overall, this game is basically GTA V version 3.0 (1.0 Xbox, 2.0 Xbox One/PS4, 3.0 PC... etc). It has everything that has been released on consoles and brought to the PC.

    Yes, there are server problems, which I hated too. However, I just bite the bullet and let it download, slowly. Eventually, I got it to run. Although there are server problems, I haven't ran into any connection errors.

    To me, the game is optimized, so I have no idea why people are saying it isn't. Compared to Assassin's Creed Unity, this game is silk while ACU is sand paper.

    The characters are quite unique and have their own story that the game tells you in a great way, the transictionbetween every character is flawless and innovative.

    The missions are extremely good, an easy 10, they're not rage inducing, they're extremely well designed, they barely have any flaws and the dialogue in missions is like it always was in GTA.. Amazing and mostly sarcastic funny.

    The story is probably the best in the franchise, with a decent ammount of choices and lot of explanation given so you don't miss any detail.

    The guns feel good, the world feels alive, the cars feel real, the NPC's feel alive and not for one second this game felt nothing less than a true masterpiece.. Easily the game of the century.

    An easy 10/10.. Probably one of my few 10/10.. Probably the first one since GTA San Andreas. (And that tells you something)

    About the PC Port.. Ye, it's simply quite amazing, the definite version of GTA V is on PC, either 60fps or 30fps, it won't matter.. The game is good both ways, it scales extremely well and has almost no issues. (Some small issues like some stuttering at the most) This game will also run in almost any PC, be it a cheap laptop or a old pc with a dual-core and a 9800gt or even a 5670.

    The game is fun and really solid in every way, the controls and playability are well implemented and responsive.
    On the technical side, it has some really stunning and beautiful graphics and effects, the city looks gorgeous and the countryside, desert zones, woods, beaches, mountains, etc., are just amazing.
    The sea is what impressed me the most, IMO it’s over the top, it feels very realistic and when you stand near the shore you feel video games will never be the same again if a virtual sea can be this overwhelming. It really feels this game is taking PC gaming to its limits, so if you have a solid rig to run it then you will find here one of the best looking and most technically impressive games for PC ever. Having a system capable of running this beast on ultra-settings will make you think that all your hardware is being put to the test and that your investment was totally worth it.
    I’m very happy with this version, yes the PC version is awesome and everything is almost flawless.
    As a good sandbox this open world has literally tons of things to do, it feels huge!
    Coop is really fun and amazing, with lots of unlockable missions, races, heists, sports, shopping, activities, and a lot more to do, plus they keep adding more and more content.
    The story mode is well developed and it has funny characters (in their own GTA way). The humor is satirical and politically incorrect (as it should be in a -rated M- GTA). At first I thought the idea of having 3 characters simultaneously was strange and probably not good, but when you play it you realize it works really well.
    Gameplay wise, driving is well implemented, intuitive and feels natural, shooting, swimming, running and moving around are too. The game is cool as it is on 3d person already , but it adds the bonus of a 1st person experience, you can switch on the go and it’s really nice too. And with so many types of vehicles, ground, air and sea, and a lot of guns at your disposal, it never feels repetitive or boring. I love clothing and shopping, I have spent hours in the clothing stores, shopping is fun!
    On the sound department, effects are stunning and I love the soundtrack! , a lot of GTA V songs now are part of my personal playlists.
    In general a lot of attention was given to every little detail. This is basically a masterpiece and a perfect game, simply one of the very best games there are for PC. Justice has been served for PC gamers and the wait was very much worth. I absolutely love it.
    So once again, if you don’t have it yet, what are you waiting for?, you should be playing it right now instead of being here reading this.

The game is fluid and I didn't face any problem despite my modest hardware. Controlls are responsive and gameplay is really fun and engaging. The whole Los Santos and Blaine County look absolutely gorgeous. The story and the characters are really compelling and I fell in love with every aspect within the first few minutes. GTA V is an actual parody of the current state of the world with a focus on the U.S. and how corrupt the authorities are. I disagree with those who say it is sexist or racist or transphobic or homophobic. It deals with such issues in one of the greatest ways I have seen in a game and I'm a gaymer myself. The criticism of Hollywood and celebrity culture that is plaguing the world these days was really apropos. Every dialog had a meaning and was important to the plot. The satirical humor was mind-blowing. Grand Theft Auto 5 is a true masterpiece and a must-have for any gamer. That's why I'm giving it a perfect 10/10 score.… 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. The map is massive and open and yet when you get right down to ground level it still is obsessively detailed. TheLet'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. 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.

    It will blow your mind.    … Expand

    I love the freedom of choice that comes with GTA. The unsolved jetpack mystery was a nice touch too. I would love to see the engine behind the game improve to allow more destruction of the world (voxels).

    The most beautiful thing about GTA V is that YOU WANT TO LIVE IN IT!
    All game's aspects made at the ULTIMATE LEVEL (except character development, but who cares?)

    Rockstar once again proved us that they are real "rock-stars" of game industry. You just have to buy it.

I got a mid to high level rig and the game runs great, only time I have had problems was with 4K because I need a newer card ( GTX 970 ordered ) .

    I have been playing tennis wife the wife ( which is awesome ) and then going a spin in the car all in first person, playing in FP in GTA is so immersive and I have rarely took it off the setting because they nailed it .
    You have skills in this game that increase over time by using them but you can go to gun ranges and take flying lesson to increase them faster before a job .

The game is very well optimized for PC, there are options for everything you can wish for and the controls are great. I've never seen such a good console port and a game that is technically so close to perfection. The graphics are stunning and I get 60 FPS on a high-mid range PC.

    The story shows in an entertaining and satirical way how f*cked up the U.S. intelligence services are. Switching between the main characters offers a nice change of pace. There are also a lot of side quests, some with their own story and some generic, but all fun.
    GTA Online offers just as much content as the single player. Coop missions, races, PvP, side activities and now also heists, which are awesome if you can find a good team.

    ---

    It's a pity you can't choose your own car for the story, as the default cars are very unspectacular. You can of course use another one, but you risk losing it during the missions, along with all upgrades - even if it was stored in the garage.
    The other thing that distracted me a few times is the weapon selection: Hot keys don't make sense, because instead of equipping the selected weapon, they cycle to the next weapon and equip that. Your weapon choices also aren't saved properly.

    GTA Online sometimes has connection issues and doesn't have any kind of cheat protection. Heists were a great addition, but unfortunately only the host can progress his heist quest. Rockstar Social Club is pretty bad all around (UI flaws, not enough server resources, lack of functionality).

    Sadly, the game also has DRM which forces you to go online every so often.

    ===

    I was lucky and got the game through Steam. Other then the 14h download on launch day I don't have anything to complain about.

    I was lucky and got the game through Steam. Other then the 14h download on launch day I don't have anything to complain about. It's running perfectly fine on my five year old i7 920 quad core with a two year old GTX 770 and 8GB Ram. Got almost everything on High (used Geforce Experience to automatically set the right options). About 20h in now and also none of the crashes others reported.

    The game looks absolutely gorgeous. There's so much detail around every corner. After the first Heist I spend easily two hours just walking around in 1st person admiring all the little details Los Santos has to offer and another hour taking Chop the Dog for walks or just randomly running into pedestrians until they start attacking me and then watch Chop bite their heads off. The Tennis mini game is not half bad either if you like Tennis. You can even use your phone to call a Blimp and then go sightseeing from the air.

    The missions are.. well they are original GTA. Really well written dialogue good mission design, a lot more fun than GTA IV for sure. To me they are on the same level as San Andreas and Vice City were. Over the top action and not as serious and dark as IV was (not counting the IV DLC, Lost&Damned and the other one with the gay guy, those were great too). Speaking of which, you meet some characters from the old games again in this game.

    Like I said I'm about 20h in now and the stats tell me I've completed 16% and did 17 of the 69 main missions. Then again I spend a lot of time just running around or riding a bike (they are as fun as they were in SA). There's just so much to see and I've only uncovered about half of the map so far. Although a lot of what's still missing is probably ocean or country side.

    The only thing I'm somehow having a problem with is the Cop's behaviour. For some reason you can't just outrun them by driving away in a fast car like in past games. You have to somehow get out of their range and then hide behind buildings preferably putting your head down (there's literally a button for putting your head down). It takes some getting used to and leads to strange situations where sometimes I can try to escape from them for minutes, driving half way across the map and they're still tailing me. And sometimes I just drive around one corner in a narrow road between two buildings and they've lost me.

    That being said I can easily overlook this one strange behaviour with everything else being as fun as it is. I'm heaving a great time playing the game and these past three days the reason for me to put down the controller always was the clock showing 2am.    … Expand

    It was hard to wait for nearly two years and avoid console gamers giving spoilers for it. But I'm glad I did. The only few issues I have, are that I'd have liked to have had it in Steam. I prefer to buy physical games due to having really bad internet speed. And it would have been nice if there could be a choice to put the aiming reticule on the screen when you're not aiming. I take longer to get enemies in my sights due to this. It would have been better if there could be an option to have it all the time, as well as a transparency for it when I'm not aiming. Then I could get a better idea before I aim and see it properly. This is probably just used to playing FPS games.

    The only other issues, is that I can't use all the keys I choose to. The Home and Page Up keys aren't bindable. I play left-handed, so it would have been better if I could change the Rockstar SC function to something else and free up that key.

    It'd also be a good idea if some things could be bound to the same key, like in Battlefield. There's an interact binding, as well as a secondary one for things like accessing your wardrobe. I'd use Enter for interact, but now I need something else for that. This would be a nice addition to it, if a number of functions could mix. I'd love to have my reload (right shift) as character select if I held it instead of tapped it. We could double up on our bindings if something like this is possible.

    This game is easily a 9+ game but unfortunately the review status on here will never reach such status due to "off the cuff" negative reviews just venting in frustration.

    In my view, the game loaded first time. This is by far the best GTA game ever, very well optimised and fun to play. Don't be put off by the bad reviews!

    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.
