    Online is not really fun:
    -VERY long loading screens
    -Many have problems even starting the game
    -Sometimes it just freezes in loading screens
    -Many hackers
    -Very boring earning money
    -You always do the same
    -Rockstar really just wants your money in this game!

    Who designed the utterly horrid flight controls ? Absolutely the worst flight model of any game I have ever played. Game started out 9/10 and by the time Trevor is forced to fly that dog excrement plane it goes down to 4/10. Really ruined the game for me. If you have an excrement flight model don't force it into missions.

I skipped playing the fifth one just because I didn't have a gaming pc for a while. But when I came back to the gaming world recently, I have been consistently disappointed. The most prevailing issue: the ridiculous ease of modern games. There is so much hand-holding, so many resources, so little difficulty, games have become difficult to finish or keep playing because they quickly become dull and boring, lacking challenge. GTA V is a perfect example. Why was there no difficulty setting? The game is extremely easy. I didn't even use any special abilities, didn't bother buying any armor, weapons or ammo, and it was still too easy!

    Yes, the graphics are nice, the story was ok, and the content was plentiful. Although after a while, you begin to notice a predictable pattern: drive to do a mission, watch a cut-scene, drive to do another mission to watch a cut-scene, repeat. These transitions were done better in the previous games and were not so mind-dulling noticeable.

    I gave up on the game half-way through, catching myself yawning all the time and forcing myself to play something I was bored of.

    Rockstars game design is outdated by at least 10 years.

    GTA is basically a sandbox to do dumb stuff in for a few hours. For some people this entertainment doesn't get old, but I don't see much appeal.

    The campaign seems decent. Hardly particularly engaging with much depth though.

    The gameplay is very shallow.

    I am absolutely blown away by GTAV. This is seriously the worst GTA game I've ever played. I waited some 18 months for a PC release for this piece of garbage? They shouldn't call it Grand Theft Auto. They should call it Grand PURCHASE Auto.

    If you want to read about the positives to GTAV please see one of the cheerleading gaming "journalism" reviews of it that completely ignore its flaws. Here I'm going to point out those flaws.

    1) GTAV expects you to purchase everything with in-game money. Don't have enough in-game money? Rockstar will be happy to sell you some for real money! You seriously cannot just go up to a good or government vehicle and steal it in a game called Grand Theft Auto. Rockstar will not allow you to store it in your garage. You must purchase it. Yes, you must purchase cars in a game called Grand Theft Auto in which focuses on criminal activity. Have the developers ever even played a GTA game before? Hell, you have to purchase tanks too. You cannot simply steal one. That used to be a huge accomplishment in previous titles. It's impossible here.

    2) The online portion is progression-gated. When you start out the city is a literal ghost town and you're expected to do the same races OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. Then the game gradually unlocks new events. You'll need to repeat them each a hundred times in order to accumulate the RP necessary to rank up. As you rank up things start spawning in the city that should have been there from the beginning and actually appear commonly in the single player mode. Go to the airport in online mode and note the complete and total absence of planes at the AIRPORT. You have to rank up just to make a handful of them appear. Ranking will take years if you're someone with a job. It's clearly designed specifically for the no-lifers or children who need to be treated like donkeys chasing carrots on a stick.

    3) Excessive realism comes at the cost of fun. Did you know you have to buy car insurance in this game in multiplayer? Planes don't come with parachutes. Want to steal something from the military base in single player -- not going to happen! Have fun shopping for real estate to buy or spending hundreds of thousands of in-game dollars on businesses that pay you only 1% of what you spent on them maybe once a real life week.

    4) Rockstar is very mod-unfriendly. They will ban you from the game you purchased without refund even if you're trying to privately have fun with your friends. They make zero attempt to distinguish between people screwing around amongst themselves and those maliciously ruining the experience for others. Can't spend a couple hundred thousand or a couple million in fair cheat-detection, Rockstar? Spent your billions already? This is beyond sad. The community is continuing to try and fix the mess that is GTAV to actually make it fun again, yet Rockstar has been trying to thwart them with every update.

    5) GTA has been obsoleted by other entrants in the open world genre. Who needs a hyper-realistic, un-fun when we can choose from so many other options? I really thought that Vice City and San Andreas were awesomely fun games. It seems GTA has gone downhill and let Saints Row and Just Cause supersede them.

    I'm honestly really disappointed in this entry in the franchise. Yes, the heists are nice both in single player and multiplayer. Yes the graphics are good. No, the game is not fun. No, the game puts realism in front of having fun. No, the game is not for people who have other things to do than play it every waking moment. GTAV had so much potential. Save yourself money and don't buy this 18 month-late game.

    This is my last GTA game. There are far better choices out there now.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very disappointing game. It seems as though they focused too heavily on making GTA Online, and not enough on actually creating any story, or gameplay for singleplayer. Most of the contacts you make throughout the game just fizzle out (Solomon and Devin, to name a few). You do a couple missions for them, and then never see or hear from them again. Franklin has barely any backstory. He just does a couple jobs, and next thing you know, he is living in a mansion in the Vinewood Hills. Would've been nice to have a gang territory map for Franklin, like in San Andreas (starting turf wars, etc.), seeing as how he is a gang member...

    The ending was anti-climactic. I chose to kill Trevor, and after an uneventful chase through Los Santos, all that happens is you get some phone calls asking about what happened to Trevor.

    Once the story is over, all you're left with is a big city and not much else to do, except for random meet-ups with random NPCs who give you missions to pick things up, kill, etc...nothing special, and nothing relevant. Just a bunch of mini-games...

    Online isn't any better. Pretty boring, to be honest, and not as populated as I thought it would be.

    Considering this version of the game took about a 1.5 years to produce (after the other versions), you'd think there would be much more to it, but there really isn't. Definitely not worth $60. Maybe wait until it goes on a Steam sale.

    Single player was moderately entertaining for a time, however not entertaining enough to finish. The multiplayer is an abysmal hacker and greifer infested pile of crap. Every online session has hackers. We aren't talking about aimbotters and subtle things.

If the hackers aren't annoying enough, people using passive mode to sneak up behind you is extremely greiftastic. In the end, lackluster story in the single player and the fact that the multiuplayer may as well not work due to hackers and greifing mechanics leaves this title below half score. Expand

The original download for it took 4 days. When it is downloading/patching your internet will be completely incapacitated, I could barely open a browser page. This has not ever been the case with any other downloads. After it was downloaded rockstars social club messed up and kept getting an error, this error took my own work in the files, uninstalling, reinstalling, repairing. Probably 3 hours of work to get it to run. After I did get it to run I thought it was pretty awesome, graphics looked great and ran at 60+ fps. For about 5 minutes, it was worth it. Then I started crashing. I have not been able to play this for longer then 10 minutes without it crashing, and to get it to work I have to edit about 20 files in the games directory. This poor rating isn't as much for the game as it is for Rockstars horrible work on this PC version. These issues haven't just been me, they've been flooding the forums, and they haven't even addressed it at all besides to tell you to uninstall/reinstall the game(which doesn't work) I would definitely hold off on this game for a few months, there's a very good chance you won't be able to play it until then anyway.

    Now you wonder why is the score so bad? Well this is because of the online. The online version of the game feels like a cheap scam. They want you to buy their microtransactions over and over again. every update they bring out the prices of the items increase with 20/30% increase of the last DLC.

    All the houses, CEO, Drug lord and stuff feels the same. Spend X amount of money to get X amount of repetitive missions to do over and over again. The whole online feels like one big grind. The excuse with friends it is fun. Is just bad. The online feels more and more quantity over quality. Just to sell their shark cards. These days there are better online games out there to mess around in with friends.

    I also do not like how they force you to play in a public session when you are doing a CEO mission or any of the other stuff. This just makes it more grindy if you have some dicks in your server.

    The custom games are fun, but not better then Halo Reach did it back in the day. Also where are my online animals...the dogs and such. You had bears, panthers, deers, buffalos and all of those animals in red dead redemption. Huge let down.

    And no single player dlc in all those years, because of their hunger for money.

    Lets skip those problems that wont even let you to launch the game. Its a pretty common issue, but whatever, lets say you made a lot of fixes to actually launch the game. Lets pretend you are lucky enough and didnt get HDD related bug, which is really common. Lets pretend you were also lucky enough to not catch fps related bugs and got that sweet 60 fps. Wanna know whats gonna happen for ya after all that stuff and gigabytes of fixes? 3 hours of gameplay.
    Yep, in 3 hours you will reach your first heist and "throwing weapons bug". Not going to explain it in details, but this will actually make you not able to progress in story anymore.
    So, you are going to spend an evening which you couldve spend on game, on googling 3rd party fixes for this. Yep, R* doesnt care at all, they've already sold it to you. You ll find a fix which literally makes you not using one of the core functions of the game forever.

    You ll get another 2 hours of gameplay, and then - BAM! Another heist. New series of bugs. Another evening spent on googling, fix found on crack developers site(Yep, fix for legit steam version of game found on crack makers site). 1 more hour of gameplay, yay!

    Aaaand 3rd heist. Which will have a new combo of bugs, weapon related and character switch related. Ive done this heist like 20 times, trying every fix possible, none of them worked(altho, ppl get thru it). This was the point where i draw my line. Deleted the game and going to ask for refund.

    Oh, and dont forget that iFruit wasnt even ported for pc version of the game.
    So, what do we have? A good looking benchmark(in theory there is a gameplay, but you cant access it coz of **** of bugs), multyplayer full of cheaters (there is no antcheat at all. Like literally, you can hack it online using artmoney! Dont forget about microtransactions!)

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.

    SP REVIEW : The story/missions are okay. Open world is decent, biggest issues are the removed interiors and every area outside of Los Santos being next to useless. First person view is a welcome addition but still needs work; Shooting or climbing up/jumping down is a pain. Driving is improved in most ways over GTA IV. Overall there are some little things missing that annoy me and detract from the experience. Also, no DLC. Best thing about this game is that Rockstar finally managed to release a good PC port.

    MP REVIEW :

    What should have been an exciting multiplayer sandbox is just a micro-transaction NO-FUN-ALLOWED grindfest, where the only reward is a nicer looking apartment or faster version of a vehicle you already own. Rockstar's state of the art peer-to-peer servers are guaranteed to enrich your GTA:O experience with a multi-cultural smörgåsbord of laggy scriptkiddies filling your chat with moonrunes or BR?BR?BR?

    Some of the gamemodes are okay but most are **** and it's extremely boring to play the same **** over and over just to earn a fraction of that new supercar I'd like. There's not much to do in freeroam, since Rockstar doesn't want to let you have any fun without forking over real money or downloading a mod menu. (Note: I've never been banned or had money removed from my character.) The only good thing GTA:O does is the racing; It's actually one of the best casual racing games for PC today.

    Rockstar ruined this game with their desire for endless monetary gains. Don't bother buying anything they release in the future.

    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.
