    It's a great game. Fantastic story, great graphics, huge map, a bundle of fun. Ignore the usual idiots that do not understand the concept of a review or rating, these people would claim it's a perfect game except one little thing and all of a sudden the rating switches from a 10 to a 0.

    Best GTA so far and I have played them all. The campaign is epic just pure fun the graphics are top notch. Its pure ART the size of this game and the attention to the littlest detail alone is just pure talent. Thank you Rockstar .o0O

    If the game doesn't work for you, then that's your problem. You were warned about minimum specs and you were warned about how big the game is to download.

    It's GTA V do I have to explain why it's a 10?

    For my version... Runs smooth as silk. I own this game on PS3, PS4 and now on PC. Of those launches the PC is by far the smoothest. 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

    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.

Tapping into the core of modern humanity; the ability to speed, steal and slaughter with reckless abandon is the purest incarnation of our inner desire. As expected, Rockstar delivers the next level of the series with the high quality we've come to expect, all the while keeping true to their style; overlaid mockery of our societal values, leaving no aspect of our culture untouchable, including themselves. This PC port contains a few bugs, which I expect will be ironed out in time. Only thing I could wish for is owning better hardware to experience the game in its full glory.… Expand

    In a lot of ways this is the ultimate love letter to the big 3 GTA games from back in the PS2/Xbox days. The huge variety of missions and side missions are back. You can get lost for hours just driving a cab or playing tennis. The main story is fun and I really like the way it weaves between the main characters.

    I love this game, it's just pure awesomeness. Majority of the low scores or negative reviews are people crying about crashes. How is that in anyway reviewing the actual game, especially if you have not even played the game yet due to an error? Anyway, highly recommend this game, it's a perfect GTA title.

If you have a good rig, GTA V will look spectacular, it is a game to be played if you haven't already (are you living under a rock!). Rockstar has given a new meaning to PC Open World Games, and one that delivers what is promises (4K, 60 fps, better graphics, improved textures, lighting, controls, first person mode improvement). This game never gets old. Part of the reason why it has been released 3 times now. Go get it! 10/10 Masterpiece!… Expand

    Well, now that the game is out, we can clearly see that the game has been delayed for the best reason ever. After the catastrophic GTA IV port, the optimization on this game exceeded my expectations beyond measure.

    After Max Payne 3 optimization Ive had high hopes for this game. Rockstar didn't disappoint me. It is simply great. Plus - no more bouncy cars like in gta IV, Driving model is a lot sharper, it feels really good.

    And the game itself? Well, if you are here, you know what to expect and you are not mistaken :)

    If there is a game that deserves a ten this is it. This is the best game currently on the PC.. The cars handle perfectly, the ocean and boats spot on, flying is great. There are always room for improvements but there is nothing to complain about here. I finished the game and I will play it again, and again, until a new one is released on PC.
