    96 metacritic score? Seriously? How much money has Rockstar spend in bribes?

    Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad game. And the port is decent. Could be better, but still decent. Graphics are really good, and the game runs well on average hardware. Gameplay is the same thing since GTA III. If you have played one, you have played them all, plus or minus certain insignificant

    Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad game. And the port is decent. Could be better, but still decent.

    Graphics are really good, and the game runs well on average hardware.

    Gameplay is the same thing since GTA III. If you have played one, you have played them all, plus or minus certain insignificant things.

    The story is decent, nothing special. Gameplay is boring, you mostly drive around and sometimes shoot things and repeat terrible minigames.

    I suppose kids are enthralled because this game is "like real life", so they find it good, but really, as a game it is mediocre.

    It gets boring fast, and won't keep your interest for long. Shooting mechanics are meh, driving is meh and unrealistic. There is nothing to accomplish in this game. Online is bad and fool of cheaters.

    In the end, if you are not bored to death with the GTA formula, it is worth a playthrough, but seriously, 96 on metacritic? No way, this is a 7-8 game at most. I give it a 0 to balance the bribes.

    Removing mods is the worst. Literally unplayable. So much hate coming their way now. They took a beloved game and absolutely ruined it by banning mods.

    Great game, but the publishers are greedy scum that shut down years of work on single player mods for this game and others. Until they revert their decision I can't advise purchasing this game from them.

    All of the negative reviews (including mine) have to do with the installation. I pre-ordered the game on Steam, pre-loaded it with over 300GB of space on my HDD, on the launch date and after installing... IT JUST DOESN'T DO ANYTHING.

I've tried every imaginable fix available online. My Windows username has nothing to do with it, the current user account is already an administrator, everything is updated, verified the game cache, uninstalled and re-downloaded it (twice)... still nothing. Even those games by Ubisoft on uPlay can at least install and boot up properly on my PC with i7-4710MQ and GTX 860M.

    Steam and RockStar are now pointing fingers at each other for this travesty. I've played this game on the Xbox 360 years ago so my expectations were very high for this PC version. Games don't deserve good reviews if there are issues with merely installing the game.

    Take Two and Rockstar threatened to sue a modder without good reason. This sort of toxic behavior should not be tolerated. Don't support them by giving them your money.

    Rockstar has a long history of lying to people and then blaming the fans when those lies backfire. This is one of those times. Not only they killed off OpenIV, but now they blame their parent company and claim that OpenIV allows malicious mods to ruin the (already cancerous) GTA Online experience.

    I really don't like when online I rob a store and the game does not let me do anything, so I just have to accept the drop in mental while I don't allowed to gain anything in return. Really annoying!

    Why...Why....Why?
    Why would you punish the single player community for the sins of a few who only cause trouble online? It just doesn't make any sense.

    The company is obviously fully in their right to remove modding from their product. As far as MP is concerned, I'm actually with them. As far as SP is concerned, this is what I would call slapping the gamers in their faces. The zero is earned for this kind of customer support.

    Thank you very much, Rockstar and don't let the door hit you on your way out.

    GTAV was a great game before the developer Rockstar Games and publisher Take-Two Interactive banned modding with in the PC-community. Bring back the mods! I want to be able to play LCPDFR now and in future! The life cycle of the (future) gta-games is also in danger if this stays banned.

    Rockstar has changed their EULA after selling the game, and is now banning people for modding the game even in single player. Such scam-like behaviour is unbecoming of a company. Modding is a key component of the PC gaming community.

    Take Two decided to destroy a 10 year old single player mod community for GTA IV and GTA V for no reason. The business guys are literally too stupid to understand that OpenIV has nothing to do with online play. They never approached this community and the hundreds of thousands of users. They don't care that many console players bought PC versions just for the mods.

    Read about OpenIV.

    Read about OpenIV. People spent hundreds of hours improving the games and drive millions in additional sales .. and Take Two never bothered to talk to them.

    This from the company that wants me to buy Red Dead Redemption 2? How about no .. I bet hacked copies for RedDead are pretty popular.

    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.
