    Car handling is RUINED! Handling is worse than that of "watch dogs". And watch dogs got a very bad vehicle physics. Very arcade, going-on-rails steering, no inertia, braking from full speed is momentary, and there's no way keeping vehicle in a drift. Compared to IV it's a huge step backwards.

Along with the return of planes, bikes, tattoos and leveling the stats of your character. Too bad because otherwise the scale of the game is huge and the world is very thought-out and detailed. Well optimized in comparison to IV. Looks awesome too. Until there is a mod that brings back IV's physics, this is a no-go. Expand

    Best PC game of 2015? More like... Most hyped PC game of 2015.

    I've played the Xbox 360 version as well as the PC version and I admit. PC visuals are amazing, Smoother gameplay and interesting mods for the PC version has definitely impressed me.

    But why a 6 out of 10? Because this game isn't that great to begin with. With all the content in this game the main complaint I have with this game is the main story from the offline mode. It really took a downhill turn coming from GTA 4, The characters are lacking development, especially Franklin, Franklin is really undeveloped which made his character sound/look like CJ in GTA san andreas, micheal and trevor are the same. Under developed characters which in the end you don't care about anymore. Story is stupid as well because it looks like they really dumbed it down so that the younger audiences would understand the story better.

    Another complaint I have is lack of content... I remember they announced GTA V a long time ago and it was advertised like it was going to be big. So I was expecting San andreas big. (San andreas keep in mind had the most content out of every single GTA game out there.) But I was disappointed, the content it lacked after finishing the missions and all the side missions makes you bored of offline mode really fast.

    But online mode is great, tons of contents and heists, too. The online mode is at least 10 times better than single mode which made me skip story mode for GTA V on Pc. But the GTA V online community is a joke and filled with immature people which makes me spend most of my time playing GTA V alone.

    I would recommend getting this game if you are playing for the online, but skip the single player mode.. it's not worth playing.

    The Story is awesome. Rockstar has put so much detail in the world and graphics are great. Online on the other hand is mediocre. For a short time it makes ton of fun. But after the heists and some random carnage it gets extremely boring, there is just not much left to do. - plus you get some dates with one of those many hackers

If you're not in a match you're just traveling around the world which as i stated before loses its novelty after awhile as its just filled with overpowered idiots just going around killing low players, or empty lobbies. It may seem like I hate it, but it is fun. Not as good as san andreas as it feels like there's less, but its still has the grand theft auto replay ability. IE shooting cops, flying planes, robbing stores, killing hookers, and now you can do it with friends. Expand

    this is the most overrated video game of all time, no debate.

    there is no way in hell that this game is god's greatest gift to earth like all of the critics have been saying when it was released.

    this game has some of the most boring missions in the series. doing yoga, moving containers at a dock, wtf. and even the missions that are kind of fun are too linear; they lack the freedom of approach that an open world game like GTA should have.

    the story is trash. the only characters that were kind of interesting are michael, lester, and maybe a few others. the rest of the characters are either underdeveloped (like franklin), or just plain annoying (michael's family, trevor). many returning HD era characters are completely thrown under the bus.

    this game has taken sooooo many steps backwards from GTA IV, with the ragdoll physics, shooting, driving, police AI, civilian AI, melee combat, vehicle destruction, interiors, multiplayer, game world, and other aspects. it irritates me how mainstreams critics will mindlessly give this game a 10/10 while completely ignoring how all of these core gameplay mechanics have been downgraded. i guess a huge map with pretty graphics is more than enough to impress these brainless hacks.

    "b-but GTA V has parachutes, planes, tanks, business management, and a countryside!" yeah, so did GTA san andreas. guess what? many of these features have been done better in san andreas anyway.

    don't get me wrong, this game is still highly polished, beautiful, and smooth to play. first person mode is a welcome addition to next-gen. and there is still fun to be had in the main campaign. but the campaign is worth playing only once and never returning to again. it's designed to be consumed once.

    my brain gives this game a 7/10, but my heart gives it a 3/10. therefore, i will rate this game a 6/10.

    Meh story, with really great world built around them. Looks pretty though. Can't say i'd recommend it to anyone though. Play a few missions and you've basically seen the entire game. More of a simulator than a game.

    The game is great in a lot of things for sure, specially in the personality of the characters, but come on, i was expecting such a big deal from the final mission where you kill Trevor and i don't see how it could be more lame.
    Franklin with the gun hidden on his back and that LOT of non sense talking before shooting already didn't made any sense and then he simply lets Trevor get back in

    Franklin with the gun hidden on his back and that LOT of non sense talking before shooting already didn't made any sense and then he simply lets Trevor get back in the car? Just to start chasing him? Trevor didn't even had a gun in his car?
    And why would he call Michael first if he was going to do it anyways? Franklin himself says that Trevor is Michael's best friend and all, so wouldn't he think that Michael may not like the idea of he killing Trevor?
    Michael could just call Trevor and warn him up about it.
    I also think it should be more realistic in a lot of things, for example in that mission of hijacking the blitz with the masks on that you have to kill like all the police officers of the city, you just keep killing until they are all done and stop coming, then you just go away like nothing happened hahahaha

You can customise your cars too, to almost no end. It's a must have for anyone who likes open world / action games.

    Online mode is awful. It's infested with hackers who spawn things on top of you to cause you grief. Nice cars cost a ludicrous amount of money too, in comparison to the amount of money you earn doing missions. It's tailored this way in hopes you purchase, with real money, 'shark cards' - in game money. If all you're going to be doing is missions for fun with a friend - not caring about obtaining nice vehicles, and play in private lobbies, then it could be fun for you.

    Overall I would say it's worth picking up for the story mode, but only do so when it is on sale.

    I played GTA V about 700 hours in the Multiplayer together with the Singleplayer, but unfortunately the Singleplayer did not get any content after years and the Multiplayer became a disaster which has nothing to do with GTA anymore.
    The Singleplayer i can easily give 9 of 10 points but the Multiplayer only 3 of 10 points.

    Pros:
    - great open world with attention to detail
    - great vehicles, cars, motorcycles, planes, choppers, boats, with plenty of customization options
    - great storyline, engaging
    - great cinematics with cutout scenes, and a great script and voiceover actors
    - great real estate in-game "owning" and managing options, unlike many other games out there
    - Cayo Perico heist, is the best thing that happened to GTA Online in years and years, maybe to compensate for endless complaints and feedback from the community, a sincere thank you to Rockstar and Take-Two for that

    Cons:
    - the rewards vs. effort ratio is extremely low, unbalanced, to subtle lead to microtransactions for shark cards for real money currency in GTA Online
    - the game difficulty is extremely hard, with little to no option to adjust it to fit our own preferences as users-players, in many other games, we can adjust the difficulty we feel comfortable with, well be prepared, NOT in GTA V, like it or not, you're gonna swallow at hard levels and have less fun, but more frustration
    - the NPCs AI enemies - police, gang members, etc. - are overly powerful and often are cheating the human player the protagonist, spawning almost interminably all over, just to slow down and block your progress
    - extremely hard to make in-game money currency in GTA online, especially to allow you, the player, to have fun and enjoy the options you have available around you, to afford the cars, the bikes, the planes, the military vehicles, the real estate, the high-rated weapons, or whatever else your heart desires
    - for GTA online, heists preps and setups are extremely hard, especially solo, exactly to push the player to spend real money and to eventually team-up with so-called friends, that one may - or may not - have
    - except for the Cayo Perico heist, all the other heists and business activities (supplies, sales, etc.) are pushing the player the way not to enjoy a solo play mode, but to team up with random friends that could be very well some of the same players that killed you, or you killed 2 days or 2 weeks, or 2 years ago
    - sometimes is allowing, even pushing the game style to a battle royale arena, like last man standing PvP action, when in fact it's not about that, by promoting the killer ratio, or stealing from other players and such griefing tactics, like encouraging raiding and bullying other players
    - allowing kids and teens under 18 y/o to play an M- Mature-rated - game, leading to griefing and childish immature behavior among some players, spoiling the fun for all the rest around
    - not fighting cheaters hard enough

    yet, it is one of the best open-world games out there, complex and intricate enough to deserve attention, but not good enough to deserve a full 10 score rating

    There was suppose to be more to it but Online Mode earns them more money so obviously they go for the route that earns their wallet fat .

    Problem is , GTA has always been a focus on stories .
    It is accepted in this day and age to pay big amounts of money to obtain something virtually expensive and rare even .

    Online Mode shouldn't have been the focus but Rockstar knows where the money comes from so Singleplayer will rot and grow dust while till till this day as Online Mode becomes bigger .
    Online Mode is fun but it doesn't fit into the world of GTA .

    GTA is suppose to be a memorable story . An immersive single player world .

    Aside from that , Rockstar took YEARS to patch their long loading screens . Only to fix it when a modder attempted to decrease the time it took to load .
    The very basic loading screen wasn't fixed but Rockstar still pumped out new updates for Online Mode is a testimony for how Singleplayer gaming is dying .

    Rockstar thought it was a good idea putting A LOT more effort and work into Online Mode than Story Mode .

    Online Mode is fun and all but simply put it is Pay To Win and if you don't pay , you will grind .

    6 Stars at least because they have Story Mode which is decent .
    Story mode is not fun or entertaining . In fact it is 'ok.' It isn't bad but it isn't that great either .
    The start of the story is interesting but ends up being an uninteresting sluggish game .
    For a game that you have to download 90+ GBs it is overated in a sense .

    Could have and should have been a focus on purely Story Mode .
    Should have got the updates for Singleplayer Mode and the DLCs and etc .
    Could have been 9 stars easily if this was more of a focus on Singleplayer .
    And at least had a more amazing and memorable story .
    Online Mode is pay to win . Many people do talk about how toxic it is . Well , that is expected and it isn't something Rockstar can do much about . That is just how humans are at times it seems .
    But really it is ridiculous how they have shark cards where you can buy your way through the game .

    That is not to say that Online Mode is bad , it is fun with friends and all but Rockstar overdid it and left behind what made GTA .

    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.
