    To everybody else, well, this is the best GTA since San Andreas, and I think it tops that one. My favorite is still Vice City, but for sentimental reasons.

    And the game is well optimized for the PC, so yeah... go check it out now, and you won't regret it.

    Worked for me since zero hour.

    I'm not gonna lie, it took me about 15 days to find the correct graphics settings to avoid stuttering/screen freze but i finally have it. It can and i'm sure it will get optimizations soon but as of now, the game runs smooth and look gorgeous. I find myself doing heists and missions from time to time but most of the time i grab my car and drive

    Preordered on Steam, no launch issues, I was playing right away when the game activated. What a great port, luckily the Rockstar guys learned their lesson from the catastrophic GTA IV launch. The performance is really good, the game looks insane on highest settings and 1080, and I'm really enjoying the story. Really worth the wait.

I've seen many users on here complaining that GTA V is bad because it doesn't run well on their PCs, most of these people are PC scrubs. They either have a bad PC, and they're trying to max the game, then getting mad at the game for their mistakes, or they didn't get the latest drivers for GTA V, and are mad at the game for their own mistakes. The game is great, from its story to its online, it brings excellence. Heists and all the DLCs that have been released for GTA V are available right out of the box, and are as good as expected. My only gripe with the PC version of GTA V is that the mouse & keyboard controls are not the best, although this can be fixed with custom configuration in the options menu, I do emphasize that this game is more relaxed and fun with a controller.

    A fantastic game on a fantastic platform with everything from incredible resolution, to a much higher frame rate! This game was revolutionary when it was released on the console, but it's even more impressive on the PC! A must buy for ANY open-world and first person shooter enthusiast!

    Finally, I get to play GTA V on PC!!! I have been waiting a long time for this game, and I can't say I was disappointed.
    This game is one of the best I have played, I am more encouraged to play this game more because I have it on PC... (Don't know why), but I am loving every minute of it.
    I am loving 1st person and how you can hear every little detail of noise that is going on around

    This game has made it to one of my favourite games of all time (on PC).

    I just can't wait to get back playing it when I come off.

    I give GTA V on PC a 10/10!

    Polished. Versatile. Big. Rockstar has been teaching us how a game should feel.
    The potential of this game is beyond what we usually get from AAA games. This is a must have.

    This is a masterpiece in the gaming history.No need for a long review..

    Only issue is some fps drops in some areas while driving in the midday,which will be fixed soon-hopefully.

    I consider GTA:V to be nearly perfect, While GTA Online needs some matchmaking work, however it is still the best multi-player game i have played. Its sad to see so many people give bad reviews for day one connectivity issues or not being able to download a patch day one.

As a former game-lover and now game industry-critic, i want to say that this game is the complete opposite of what the majority of game studios are doing right now. The industry is full cheaply produced, unfinished and generally boring games. Some of them may be fun sometimes, but you can clearly see developers more and more caring about things like graphics instead of good stories or many details. GTA is - even though the graphics are great - the opposite. Never have i ever seen a game script so carefully written, with so many logical cohesions, details and great humour. Witty dialogues, a huge, open but yet fairly detailed world in which you can truly feel the passion and effort that was put into it. Nothing about this game resembles the current industry which is so great. Also, it's full of elaborate features and techniques which make the experience of Grand Theft Auto even more fun. Also, probably no developer except rockstar is able to kid american culture so well, and in a way that is not only relatable, but understandable. You clearly understand what is being teased, but yet you're not pelted with puerile and obvious jokes.

    Generally one of the greatest game experiences ever, and a true longtime-runner in my library, thus a solid 10!

    GTA V is a great game, with the the title of a great game it is often followed up by the fact that you need a stronger computer than a 300 laptop. Those who experience the can't startup GTA problem can blame them selves for not managing to fix the problem and play the game for what it really are, a REALLY great game

    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.

    Ignore the hate and get this game!

    It's a perfect PC game if you have the hardware. Yes, getting to the actual game can be a pain because of the required downloads and the goofy Social Club launcher--but those are minor niggles. People giving this game a low score are losers who are trying to run it on their granddad's Pentium 200 laptop. Buy it.

It is fun to mess around in Los Santos, and there many side-missions for you to do if you get bored of the main story-line or have already finished it. Online is okay at best, players don't really cooperate for you to do many of the heists, and players just constantly kill each other in lobbies. However races and other gamemodes can be engaging to play with other players, there are levels to form as a progression system with weapons that unlock at certain level as well as car upgrades, but this causes an imbalance between newbies and veteran players who have very strong weapons and fast cars in comparison to the new players. Pick GTA V up for the single player, GTA online is just a bonus, do not expect too much of it. Expand

    I had to come here to say this is one of the best games I've ever played in my 41 year old life.
    It's almost like having a second life when I play this.
    To play a game of golf inside this game with so much attention to detail was impressive. The dialogues are great. Graphics amazing. I could never imagine there could be something like this game ever. It sets the bar for other games

    It is the best GTA on the best possible plattform.

    Way way better port then part 4. Adding first person to GTA is pure brilliance. Getting knocked off your bike jumping red lights never ever get's old in first person. For the game itself: it's a GTA. You do GTA things, you meet GTA characters. Wether or not you mind the story depends on what entertains you. It's more then enough

    For the game itself: it's a GTA. You do GTA things, you meet GTA characters. Wether or not you mind the story depends on what entertains you. It's more then enough though to contextualize the action. The sheer unmachted brilliance is Los Santos though. The amount of detail on every single corner in this games simply blows every other game maker out of the water. Even a hall of famer like skyrim tends to look like a sterile alpha compared to rockstars world building. just stand at a crossing for a couple of minutes and watch this world being alive.

    As usual the soundtrack alone is a reason to buy the game. heard the online part is a lot of fun as well.

    just get it.

    Honestly fun as hell. I've spent lots of time playing it both online and offline. It improves massively on what GTA IV did. The best GTA in the series in my opinion, and I've played every one of the 3d titles. The PC version is a masterpiece. No other platform does it justice.

    In simple words, awesome. It is the definitive version of the game and if you want to play GTA then you should try the PC Version.

    Some aspects that you must know:
    Better graphics, 60 FPS, Rockstar Editor and Director Mode and expect a lot of mods coming by community, What are you waiting for?

    The only good AAA game this year. Port is definitely better than GTA 4 and I get higher FPS in GTA 5 than I get on GTA 4. FPS was also a nice tough. Great voice acting, in-depth characters. A good storyline including a heck lot of stuffs to do in the open world goodness.

    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.
