    this is the most overrated video game of all time, no debate.

    there is no way in hell that this game is god's greatest gift to earth like all of the critics have been saying when it was released. this game has some of the most boring missions in the series. doing yoga, moving containers at a dock, wtf. and even the missions that are kind of fun are too linear; they lack the freedom

    there is no way in hell that this game is god's greatest gift to earth like all of the critics have been saying when it was released.

    this game has some of the most boring missions in the series. doing yoga, moving containers at a dock, wtf. and even the missions that are kind of fun are too linear; they lack the freedom of approach that an open world game like GTA should have.

    the story is trash. the only characters that were kind of interesting are michael, lester, and maybe a few others. the rest of the characters are either underdeveloped (like franklin), or just plain annoying (michael's family, trevor). many returning HD era characters are completely thrown under the bus.

    this game has taken sooooo many steps backwards from GTA IV, with the ragdoll physics, shooting, driving, police AI, civilian AI, melee combat, vehicle destruction, interiors, multiplayer, game world, and other aspects. it irritates me how mainstreams critics will mindlessly give this game a 10/10 while completely ignoring how all of these core gameplay mechanics have been downgraded. i guess a huge map with pretty graphics is more than enough to impress these brainless hacks.

    "b-but GTA V has parachutes, planes, tanks, business management, and a countryside!" yeah, so did GTA san andreas. guess what? many of these features have been done better in san andreas anyway.

    don't get me wrong, this game is still highly polished, beautiful, and smooth to play. first person mode is a welcome addition to next-gen. and there is still fun to be had in the main campaign. but the campaign is worth playing only once and never returning to again. it's designed to be consumed once.

    my brain gives this game a 7/10, but my heart gives it a 3/10. therefore, i will rate this game a 6/10.

    GTA V has an immensely enjoyable and lengthy single player story that never slows down and each mission feels new. It is easily one of the best single player experiences I've ever had. As for online, it is worth playing, however it is still massively flawed and often frustrating. I would not pay full price solely for online, but if you have not played the single player, it is completely worth it.

    Grand Theft Auto V is in many ways the archetypical example of the modern open-world game. A huge environment to drive around in and get lost in, containing a few small towns, a big city, random scripted events going off every once in a while, and above all else, little icons on a map that you go to in order to make things happen.

    Clocking in around 40 hours to beat and about 55 hours
    Grand Theft Auto V is in many ways the archetypical example of the modern open-world game. A huge environment to drive around in and get lost in, containing a few small towns, a big city, random scripted events going off every once in a while, and above all else, little icons on a map that you go to in order to make things happen.

    Clocking in around 40 hours to beat and about 55 hours to do everything but collect the collectibles, the game offers a mixture of third person shooting, driving cars and aircraft, and the odd minigame. The story is a story of three criminals who all simultaneously respect and hate each other, and who are all various flavors of terrible people.

    The game has thrilling heists, where the player figures out some plan of attack (from one of two options), does things to set up for that, and then executes on the plan, while switching dynamically between the characters to execute on their part of the plan. This is where the game is at its best.

    And if the game was always that good, it would be great.

    Unfortunately, it isn’t.

    The game is also full of very boring missions, tedious side content, and inconvenience. The lack of a normal fast travel system means that if you need to go from one side of the map to the other, it will consume several minutes of your time, the simulationist nature of the game means that changing your characters’ clothing requires you to go to their house (or a store, if they sell that particular type of clothing there), and there’s a lot of empty time that is filled up by driving from one place to another.

    GTA V does its best to avoid too much blatant filler content – there’s only a few of the typical “collect 50 of this random item scattered around the world” missions, and they’re purely optional.

    But a lot of the content in the game is just dull. Running around in the desert for five miles, doing a half-hour long triathlon where all you do is tap A repeatedly to run/swim/bike faster, spending twenty minutes loading and offloading cargo – there is many a dull moment in the game, where the game just has you do something inane for no good reason for far too long.

    But even the “good” missions are often held back by the gameplay. The core gameplay of driving around in cars is alright, but the helicopters feel rather janky to fly and the plane missions are something of a mixed bag, as there’s no real air to air combat system. The third person shooting gameplay is quite weak – it feels awkward, and while using a mouse plus keyboard makes it better, the game just doesn’t do anything very strong with the third person gameplay. The enemies are almost all indistinguishable from each other, just being a bunch of dudes with guns, or dudes with guns in cars/planes. Tanks technically exist, but I saw them in exactly one mission – and a side-mission at that – and they were easily dispatched with explosives.

    The open world also tries to introduce things like property ownership, but the properties feel like more of a burden than an asset – several will ask the player to do repetitive side quests from a very small list, and the only one that really felt like it was worth purchasing was the one that let you customize your cars for free. Indeed, given the limited duration of the game, it was a losing proposition to buy property, as you’d have more money by the end of the game if you didn’t – the best way to make money was to do the stock market manipulation missions.

    The game does try to entertain people with the story. And on some level, this actually works pretty well – the characters almost always have stuff to say, with the “boring bits” of driving long distances allowing for exposition dumps and back and forth dialogue. There’s story content in almost every mission, and the characters have something to say about almost everything that happens.

    The problem is that the characters themselves aren’t particularly likeable, and the story as a whole doesn’t ultimately go anywhere. Michael is a jerk with anger problems. Franklin wants to get rich and escape from the hood. Trevor is a violent sociopath who wants to just keep on running his meth empire. There’s tension between Michael and Trevor due to Trevor believing that Michael betrayed him years before, and Michael is trying to mentor Franklin a bit.

    But none of it really feels like it has strong enough payoff, and the characters don’t feel like they ultimately learned anything. Franklin never gets to run a heist, so he never really emerges from Michael’s shadow. Michael still has anger issues, and his family’s resolution is basically “We’re all a bunch of **** so we’re pretty much stuck together,” and somehow, this makes them happy. And Trevor… is just doing the same thing he was doing beforehand, and learned absolutely nothing, except he ultimately makes peace with Michael by murdering a third party that they both loathe.

    A good game full of chores and other useless achievements meant to get you hooked into going GTA online for the microtransactions.

    A good game full of chores and other useless achievements meant to get you hooked into going GTA online for the microtransactions.

    As someone who played GTA games since GTA 3, GTA V feels like a massive step back from GTA San Andreas and even a small step back from GTA 4. Having three separate characters that you will have to earn money for, upgrade and utilize to level up their skills feels tedious. What's wrong with just having a single character? It worked so well before, didn't it? Instead, I have to buy business separately for them, upgrade their cars separately and make money and trade stocks separately for the characters. Gone are the days when I can focus all in just one character and buy numerous stuff for a single character. now I have to do everything 3 times! Also, how come I can buy many business but cannot buy different houses for my characters? They only have the story-given houses and that is it. Also, I can no longer have girlfriends. I also can no longer do gyms or other activities like San Andres. It's very bad. Now with GTA Casino, we also have in-game gambling with fake money that you purchase with real world money. It's stupid and terrible. The console menus are also bad and the flying and swimming controls are very unintuitive. The Rockstar Games Social Club, which is a DRM, is also very bad and gets sync errors all the time. I don't like these things to be in my GTA. It's a disaster compared to San Andreas.

    GTA used to be game where you can fulfill your power fantasies in a parody version of our modern day society. You can kill people like crazy, ram them like hell, fly on jetpacks, run around with **** and gimp suits, pick up your girlfriends for a date in a ruined blood-stained car and even go on a rampage while you are with your girlfriend. The radio stations were also fun and vulgar in previous GTA games. We also had racist gangs and turf wars back in San Andreas, which was really fun. All of these things have been removed and replaced with SJW and PC-culture, niceness and way less violence compared to previous GTA games. Lazlow used to be funny and now he is a washout. The talk radio stations are also boring, full of SJW guests, PC and fail at being funny. You can't have PC culture and comedy in the same space as they go against each other. I remember watching the sunset while inside a parked car in GTA San Andres while listening to the radio. Those were the days.

    As for the characters, instead of doing crazy things, Michael now has to take care of his family (which screws him over repeatedly). His family is so annoying and full of retards and narcissists that the game should allow me to kill them for being such. I know that previous GTA games would. Trevor is the only fun character, which is the redneck stereotype, but his craziness can be annoying sometimes and he changes into women clothes all the time on his own. Franklin was trying hard to be CJ from San Andreas, but he falls flat because of poor story and writing. I'd almost think he was the diversity hire if he didn't have skills.

    The gameplay is good and the bugs are minimal. Driving is fun and there are lots of cars, but you have to buy the best ones with in-game cash. The graphics are also very good but has issues with ultra widescreen PCs, which is bad. I got this game on a sale, so it's not much damage.

    People who rate this game a 10/10 clearly have no idea how far we have regressed from GTA San Andreas, or simply weren't paying attention. They seriously lower the bar for future GTA games. I don't think I'll be buying the next GTA game anymore, simply because I am sure it will be a microtransaction-filled mess with poor writing, disappointing comedy and less features and fun activities compared to even this game.

    GTA V as a whole is a great game.

    For Storymode, the storyline in GTA V is one of my favorites in the Grand Theft Auto series, I beat the game on Xbox 360, Xbox One and I hope to beat it on PC (and maybe choose different paths).

Rockstar nailed it on the head when it came to the characters; how the chemistry works between them and how each main character in-game is the actual face of the actor in real life.

    For Online, I suggest you download FiveM or GTA Network so that you can play on other servers, than on the main Rockstar servers (for the time-being). You can you FiveM/GTA Network or you can create a private lobby from the 'Online' tab and just do heist/races in that lobby with your friends. Other than that, the base Online game is filled with hackers sadly. For a 3+ year old game, you would think they would invest money into making a anti-cheat instead of making pointless updates.

    Warning; as of March 2017, you can't transfer your Online character from console to PC or PC to console. So, with that being said. You will need to start all over if you planned on merging your PS4/Xbox One character to PC. It's not possible anymore. It's funny how Rockstar can still put GTA V at the $60 price point (not worth it, get it on sale (maybe $30)), but yet they can't support a small but great feature.

    The online mode pushes Shark Cards too much, and that is a fact, most of the items need abusive amounts of grinding, and that is sad, the online mode´s gameplay is really good, especially with the free DLC, but sadly, the DLC content is hidden behind a secret paywall, vehicles cost an absurd amount of money, requiring you to buy some shark cards if you want to get the content at the launch, a small detail that bothers me are the litteral spam calls from the DLC characters, it is annoying as hell, it pushes the content so hard into you it makes you want to buy the DLC content just to stop those calls.

    Incredibly cool game. In addition to the main plot and many small side-quests, you can play it literally forever by imagining yourself an activity in the vast expanses of a very beautiful gaming city. Modern graphics of this time gave us the soul of the old famous Vice City in a new wrapper. In a very beautiful wrapper, which, like the old city, outplay all its zones at 100%.

Or in the other end developers make money making machines like Marvel's Avengers. In world like this, GTA 5 simply is miracle.
