The characters are just so poorly written- I know this is GTA it's supposed to shock to an extent, but this is just shear laziness. This is coming from a person who loves shows like South Park and the raw, controversial commentary it often delivers. I'm not offended by the fact that the game has radical new wave feminists running amok, or black gang members who are dumb as dirt and say **** every other word, or fat lazy rich white suburban white kids who whine and leach off their parents- It's the fact that these elements of the story have little or no purpose other than trying to shock. It's Rockstars's laziness that offends and irritates me. This game could have been a wonderful achievement, but the stupid characters and their stupid dialogue are injected into every facet of the game.

    Also, yoga and torture mini games that take up entire missions. No thanks.    … Expand

    Grand Theft Auto 5 is a good game, however it is more of the same. Rockstar did little to change the genre that it created with Grant Theft Auto 3.

The gameplay is the same as all of its predecessors, which is exciting and fun.

    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.

    All in all, GTA V is a good game with not very unique gameplay. It's more of the same that Rockstar has produced before, but it's still fun and offers many moments of enjoyment.    … Expand

    Hard freezes, bsods, and garbage crossfire support. The same kind of issues that gta 4 had bring down a great game to a mediocre port. Voice acting is great but the characters leave a lot to be desired. Side activities are numerous but not much fun.

    If you've played GTAIV, there's virtually no reason to buy this game. It's pretty much the same schtick, with the main difference between different characters which are completely unlikeable unlike previous ones, and a new storyline, which is 50 shades of grey fan fiction terrible.

    The multiplayer is plagued with problems, a confused system of punishments for playing the game the way it's meant to be played, and not punishing users that harass each other, a gross lack of anti-cheat measures as bad as the DayZ mod, and a horrific grind to unlock anything in an effort to encourage you to spend even more money on in-game cash.

    However, cruising around the city, blowing up AI pedestrians with rocket launchers and causing general mayhem is as polished as ever. A good game to just fool around in.    … Expand

    Surely this game will be among the 10 best of this decade. Great plot, music, light, this game really was beautiful!

    The use of mods (offline), complements the game, and your ONLINE mode there are no words. Simpleste the best game of all time.

    SP is pretty good. There aren't many missions and they aren't dificult, but it's pretty good. It also has very good looking visuals. I would rate SP a solid 8/10.
    MP is utter garbage. Unplayable, laging pice of sh*t. There aren't any dedicated servers, it's peer 2 peer. P2P!!! In fu*king 2015!!!! Also loading times - no comment. Online part of GTA V is complete failure 0/10
    Overall 2/10

    Dispondibile should do so also for Mac and Linux as well as to have a large amount of people who will buy the game . In fact, when people came out with Mac and Linux they were very disappointed and hope that they do so in a future update available for these two operating systems .

    GTA 5 is absolutely amazing and one of best games I've played. There's a metric f*ck ton of content, the world is huge and looks fantastic. 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.

    ===

    Overall GTA 5 is an outstanding game that sets the bar higher for the quality of all future games in most categories.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a wasted opportunity.

    First - The open world sandbox aspect is amazing. So much potential, tons of cool stuff to that. So many things you can do and interact with. Biggest positive of the game and it's a great one.

    However, the plot goes to crap pretty quickly. They introduce a raging sociopath that everyone should have just shot in the back of the head in the first scene but, inexplicably, doesn't. They've got this unskippable torture scene, where you've got an interactive min-game torturing someone. Every other mission in the game can be skipped save that one, because... I dunno, some sort of faux moralizaing? It is also 100% pointless to the story. Does nothing, accomplishes nothing, nobody talks about it again, it's irrelevant save from trying to create 'shock' value. The whole SP campaign just gets worse from there. Not in terms of being 'too violent'. It's not about violence, just weak story revolving around everyone being total idiots and one guy being super insane unstoppable/unquestionable Mary Sue Kill Anyone While Being Indestructible nutbar *that you have to play*. It's like being forced to play some My Little Pony right in the middle of a GTA game. Jarring, out of place and stupid.

    Online is broken. Full of hacks and cheaters. Only the most meager attempt to deal with it. Heists are alright if you've got friends to play it with regularly but everything else about online is pretty completely broken.

    Crazy shoddy business practices. Games on Steam, right? So right before the Steam Summer Sale they jack the price up from $60 to $80, then say it's *on sale* for $60, throwing in a pretend money card (fake money you can only use online) to say it's a 'deal'. You can't buy the game otherwise. Oh, and if you did buy it? NON REFUNDABLE BECAUSE THEY GAVE YOU PRETEND MONEY.

    Borked online, lying BS during steam summer sale and the most shallow SP experience of the series. Painful as it's set against the best open world environment Rockstar has ever done.

    Get Skyrim and Payday 2 instead. Better open world in Skyrim and Payday 2 is 10x better for online heists.

    Depressing showing by Rockstar. End of the day, it was a complete sellout, trading 'meaningless shock value' for rich characters and dishonest business practices for a good product worth the money.    … Expand

    The storyline is weak and is the same formula Rockstar uses for all of their GTA games. Bully remains my favorite game from them because it's actually unique and entertaining.

Bully remains my favorite game from them because it's actually unique and entertaining. I could care less about how good their obnoxious graphics look, I want a game with a captivating story & good performance. Rockstar constantly sends out updates through Steam which only seems to make gameplay worse. It was very playable when it first came out, now it's very choppy and everything looks as if its running in slow motion. The game also has this high maintenance launcher that is separate from the actual game that hogs memory while you play in the background. Closing their launcher causes the game to randomly crash within 20 minutes. You can not play the game without a Rockstar account either and the game is constantly connected to the internet. You would think a huge game (over 60 GB) like this wouldn't need to rely on internet so much. Speaking of online, GTA V's online mode is infected with numerous cheaters using mods and other hacks to ruin the experience for you and Rockstar won't even address it. I have no idea what these almost daily updates are doing because if anything they are downgrading the game. Rockstar actually wants you to buy fake in game money to use online called shark cards on top of its outrageous $60 price tag. They even tried to scam customers on Steam during the summer sale with these shark cards to disguise that their sale wasn't really a sale. This game is definitely not worth it, I would have gotten a refund if I didn't respect this company for it's better titles like Bully, GTA San Andreas, or Red Dead Redemption. I don't plan on buying anymore games from this company any longer except maybe a sequel to Bully or RDR. This is the score they deserve for their slacking. They're lucky I didn't give them a 0. This game is only good to fanboys and graphic whores.… Expand

    PREMISE: I'm not playing online, with all the games with a good online multiplayer I find it a waste of time to play GTA online. So I bought it 100% for the single player.

    This is not awesome, is just OK.

    - All missions looks the same after a while, even side ones (that are actually just a couple for each character)
    - Since the very beginning you got your arsenal of weapons, if you die you dont even lose them (just $ 5000 fee at the hospital and there you go).
    - Never got cuffed by the police (not sure if you can actually I think they just shoot you down)
    - 3 characters looked extremely fun at the beginning, but then, if you think about it, you dont immerge in the game at all.
    - Kind of small map, especially if compared to San Andreas, you only got the city and the highlands, ant that's it.
    - Except for the ending, you cant really decide anything in this game.
    - I waited almost 48 hrs for it to download... kept having problems with a continuous download of 60 FREAKING GB of game slowing down your pc.

    8. Big buildings that your unable to interact with like the brightly lit up Casino. I want to gamble away my "useless" millions of dollars.

    A good singleplayer game with a decent story and characters. Unfortunately the missions and side jobs really aren't that interesting.

Unfortunately the missions and side jobs really aren't that interesting. The setting is a generic southwest U.S. city that doesn't feel original at all. The missions were repetitive with the exception of the heists which were really well done. I just wish they had more flavor and uniqueness in their missions like they did with Bully all those years ago. But despite these problems I still enjoyed most of my time with GTA singleplayer.

    However, GTA online is a totally different story. It's a wannabe MMO that fails in every single regard. The grind is ridiculous, the load times are near endless, and the connection problems are continuous. When i've tried to join GTA online more times than not i've been thrown into a German or Russian server even though i'm in the middle of the U.S. There are hackers in probably 50% of the servers as well. But worst of all is that the large majority of the missions are just flat out boring. You'll finish most of the stuff within 10 hours and only be at about level 15. The rest of the game will be a grind of playing the same stuff over and over again. The only decent part of online is the heists, which you better have 3 other friends to play with because finding a game with 3 randoms is a nightmare nobody should experience. Talk about trying to form for 20 minutes only to get in game and have someone die, then try a couple more times with people dying for one reason or another, then somebody decides to just leave the game and you're thrown back to forming up again. You've wasted over an hour of your time and haven't even done anything. And to top it off when you actually finish a heist finale you'll be rewarded with around 2,000 RP (experience). You can get 1,000 RP in 4 minutes by finishing the quickest race by yourself. It's not balanced at all and you get better rewards for doing the same thing over and over again rather than tackling the hardest missions in the game. Bottomline is GTA online is an abomination.    … Expand

    GTA V can satisfy me after a long wait after GTA IV.

    3 characters with different personalities, choice of vehicle is increasingly diverse, the better gameplay and a good story. But I think the story mode should be made even longer.

    For multiplayer mode is very fun to play repeatedly. Never get bored, especially for mission heist. This game deserves to be bought.
