    Love this game, I originally played it on PS3 but had a mini gaming burnout, so never got very far into it . I got a mid to high level rig and the game runs great, only time I have had problems was with 4K because I need a newer card ( GTX 970 ordered ) . The game has plenty graphics options so anyone could get it running .

    I have only done one mission and have over 25 hours and I only got it Friday 17th April, It really is the best on PC but especially in 4K ....... 4K is no gimmick it truly is wonderful and you have to see it to believe it . My time has been spent taking the world in, I am in no rush because its an amazingly detailed world to explore .
    I have been playing tennis wife the wife ( which is awesome ) and then going a spin in the car all in first person, playing in FP in GTA is so immersive and I have rarely took it off the setting because they nailed it .
    You have skills in this game that increase over time by using them but you can go to gun ranges and take flying lesson to increase them faster before a job .
    The story looks class and 3 characters are all equally interesting ............. no point reading any of this, just get it .    … Expand

    I was just thinking today...if they would say to give them more money so they can create another title that is this good - I would give it to them.

    And I am certain I will NEVER preorder any single game after the experience with Ubisoft, EA...and those other companies.

    Can't remember a single game in the last few years that worked flawlessly on day 1.

    Did not encounter single bug so far, 33% into the game.

    Graphics out of this world.

    Optimization insane.

    Audio - great and YES, now I remembered there is a issue - 5,1 sound not working properly. Positional audio is great but no sound coming to subwoofer. I play in stereo now.

    Gameplay - GTA fans know what to expect.

    Controls - fluid and easy to learn.

    Buy it.

    Play it.

    Do not spend any money on this game. Yes, its great, maybe its one of the best games ever made, but it wont matter much when you wont be able to play it. And you actually wont be able to play it.
    They've spent 2 years on "porting" it on pc. At least thats what they said. From my point of view, rockstar was just throwing their money on hookers and drugs for those 2 years, and week before    Do not spend any money on this game.

    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!)    … Expand

These fantastic playgrounds the designers have always had in mind for us. A true piece of gaming history and a massive chunk of fun. There's so much could be said but you've read it all elsewhere. I'll just say this after 30 hours playing I know I'll still be landing my helicopter on that moving freight train, moving down random fishermen with its rota blades and escaping the cops on a nearby speedboat for years to come.

    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.    … Expand

    Basically, Grand Theft Auto 5 for PC is an awesome game when it works and is playable, but when it isn't playable its a horrible broken mess that is completely unplayable. I'm heavily suspecting the game has several memory leak issues and those can take a long time to lock down and fix.

    Once Rockstar can patch all these issues which prevent the game from running as intended, I'll re-write this review and most likely give it a 9 or 10/10 review provided they can fix the game and make it run properly.    … Expand

    The PC port of GTA V is quite frankly the game in it's most prime state - Hundreds of choices for customizing your settings, strong servers for playing online, gameplay is smooth and the GTA V storyline can be picked up once more without the game feeling like it is outdated. This version has been long awaited, and the wait was worth it.

    Technisch ist GTA5 auf dem PC hervorragend. kein anderes spiel hat eine so gute performance auf alten wie neues Systemen, mit diversen Einstellungen können selbst Alte Computer flüssig und ohne ruckeln oder anderem spielen. Auf Highend Rechnern geht es dann richtig ab. Die unglaubliche Sichtweite des Spiels giebt einem immer das Gefühl nur ein Winziger Teil in einer Grafisch sehr Schönen und Riesigen Welt zu sein.

    Der Online Modus ist Natlos, auch hier konnten die Entwickler ihr können demonstrieren, die Openworld funktioniert Lagfrei und selbst bei einem verbindungsabbruch zum Host geht das spiel Natlos aleine weiter, keine unnötigen "Verbindung unterbrochen" nachrichten oder dergleichen. Das Lobbysystem ist einfach und gut zu führen, lediglich die langen ladezeiten im Online Modus fallen mir störend auf, aber bei der Masse an Content nicht verfwunderlich.
