    Best game ever created. It is truly amazing how big this game is yes amazingly polished. GTA 5 has so much replay value and there is so much to do. The story is great and so is the soundtrack.

    Really great game, very interesting and so much things to do. Graphics good, optimization not bad (if you have 2 gb gpu at least) but PROBLEM is installing the 60 GB. ROCKSTAR's servers not working smooth (they gonna fix it THEY HAVE TO). Sometimes you cant enter the game and only you can enter by offline mode. kind a suffer but game is really great its worth it. dont think buy it.Really great game, very interesting and so much things to do.

    This... Ladies and gentlemen, is why us PC gamers cant have nice things. So GTA comes out with a game. It isnt 100% compatible with everyone in the world's hardware and internet so we come to the review websites and give it a 0/10?

    Developers dont want to port games because you people slander their product without ever having tried it.

    Best GTA so far and I have played them all. The campaign is epic just pure fun the graphics are top notch. Its pure ART the size of this game and the attention to the littlest detail alone is just pure talent. Thank you Rockstar .o0O

    Just because a game doesn't start for a few people does not mean it's a 0. This game is a 10. I'm sorry if you can't get it running for some reason, but spamming 0 scores because there's some problems with the launch of an incredibly complex piece of software is just childish.

    Grand Theft Auto V was already considered one of the best video games of all time, but on a technical level this is in my opinion the absolute masterpiece in video game history. Its 60FPS and 4K support makes it miles ahead of the PS4/X1 versions. If you have a good enough PC rig then really do get it for the 60fps and 4k. A true masterpiece

The game is great, from its story to its online, it brings excellence. Heists and all the DLCs that have been released for GTA V are available right out of the box, and are as good as expected. My only gripe with the PC version of GTA V is that the mouse & keyboard controls are not the best, although this can be fixed with custom configuration in the options menu, I do emphasize that this game is more relaxed and fun with a controller.… Expand

    The game is amazing. I'm able to run it maxed out (1080p maxed out) and it blows my mind.

    In a lot of ways this is the ultimate love letter to the big 3 GTA games from back in the PS2/Xbox days. The huge variety of missions and side missions are back. You can get lost for hours just driving a cab or playing tennis. The main story is fun and I really like the way it weaves between the main characters.

    In simple words, awesome. It is the definitive version of the game and if you want to play GTA then you should try the PC Version.

    Some aspects that you must know:
    Better graphics, 60 FPS, Rockstar Editor and Director Mode and expect a lot of mods coming by community, What are you waiting for?

All server wait times are faster, I don't get kicked incessently. A few issues trying to get in servers with crew members but they might have been full or something. I've seen some janky cars around during some missions but other than that smooth as hell. Graphics are gorgeous, first person shooting and driving feels fantastic. First person shooting feels just about as good as dedicated FPS's, but the game has so much more.

    Single player is fantastic, online is fantastic. Loving finally getting to play this game with my PC friends.

    Having played this game and beaten it on XBOX 360, I can say that this game is 10/10 at 2013.
    Now, how does it hold up on PC 2015 after several delays?
    I have a rig at home that has an FX-8350 and a GTX 970, but I am unable to play that right now because I am in college. Despite that, I have a gaming laptop/desktop replacement Asus G750 with 16gb ram, i7 4700HQ, and a 770m GPU.

    Everything runs smooth as buttocks for me as I get constant 60fps on high settings. I tried to max everything and I run at an average of about 40 fps with frame drops, which I hate. The Nvidia driver probably did the job on optimizing the game for my 770m GPU. I expect to run this game maxed out on my desktop. I have no idea how this game runs on Radeon cards; but from reading other people's reviews, I think its not fully optimized, yet.
    Overall, this game is basically GTA V version 3.0 (1.0 Xbox, 2.0 Xbox One/PS4, 3.0 PC... etc). It has everything that has been released on consoles and brought to the PC.

    Yes, there are server problems, which I hated too. However, I just bite the bullet and let it download, slowly. Eventually, I got it to run. Although there are server problems, I haven't ran into any connection errors.

    To me, the game is optimized, so I have no idea why people are saying it isn't. Compared to Assassin's Creed Unity, this game is silk while ACU is sand paper.

    Please disregard people who is rating this game lower than a 3. Its because most of them are troll "reviews". Hey, you can't be successful without haters.    … Expand
