    One of the best games I've played and far better than any of the console versions. It's a very good port and can be run in 4k fairly easily with a r9 390 or a gtx 970. Just buy it m8.

    Still playing it. The never ending amount of content to this game is mind-blowing. The recent stunts mission breathed a lot of new life. Single player was perfect.

    Absolutely incredible. It is a great game and runs smooth as butter on my gtx 980 build and also on my Asus gtx 860m laptop (surprisingly) would reccommend to anyone over the console version.

    Dont believe the naysayers, always fresh, never boring, open world sandbox with guns, cars, 18 wheelers and cops. A total must have on any platform but the PC version is king.

They either have a bad PC, and they're trying to max the game, then getting mad at the game for their mistakes, or they didn't get the latest drivers for GTA V, and are mad at the game for their own mistakes. 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.

    I have been a PC gamer for 15 years and except for Half-life 2 I have never felt so satisfied with spending $60. GTAV sets the bar so high for what a $60 AAA release should be. The single player campaign is solid and hilarious. The multiplayer is amazing.

The single player campaign is solid and hilarious. The multiplayer is amazing. The heists are some of the BEST strategic coop experiences I've had putting things like Payday, L4D, Tom Clancy's, to shame. Each player with distinct and vital roles, tons of room for creativity just enough PTSD from failing. The detail in the GTAV world is unmatched me and friends have spent hours just dirt biking in the mountains and pausing to watch sunsets over the city. The world is actually beautiful like you will pull out your phone and take pictures of landscapes because they are that good. Character animations are off the charts from how people walk to pick their noses; they are the best you've ever seen and I am a character animation snob! The world changes as your driving around with people's talk and walk and behavior switching from city slickers, to homeless, to red necks to college students etc as you roam around. The ultimate mark of its greatness is that my wife (a regular not nerd girl, she's into shopping, getting her nails done and working out; regular city girl) who has never played games in her life has got into GTAV I had to build her a PC and shes now level 50 in multiplayer and roles with me and my crew all the time; I have even come home to her playing without me!!! She now on many date nights just wants to ditch the kids and play GTAV together! We sell drugs together, run over fat people together, run from the cops together it's unheard of! My only gripe with GTAV is server wide voice chat instead of Local only Voice Chat. Meaning I wish you had to be actually near someone in the server to be able to yell at them through your mic instead of hearing everyone all over the server. It's chaotic and most people just turn it off eliminating a lot of the social aspect with random others but I mostly just play with friends so not a big deal to me. Expand

    First - the torture scene - I did not like it. I get the message that it is trying to make, and it does it perfectly. What I did not like, was participating in it. It made me fell uncomfortable. I would prefer having a cut scene show this. Other then that it is good.
    The world is so big, I had to spend 4 hours exploring every aspect of it. This is the best example of open-world.
    I give it a 10 out of 10. A masterpiece.

    GTA V, to me, was one of the best games of 2015, along with Witcher III and MGS V.
    First of all, it looks beautiful. The map is huge, and it has a LOT of a sandbox-vibe to it. It's pretty much up to you what you want to do. You can focus on the (pretty cool) story and do the missions, some of them very epic, or you can drive around, buy businesses for extra income, look for cool cars for your collection (which you can store at a garage you buy, so you won't lose them), try different sports, hunt, explore etc.
    The world feels SO alive, with little things happening all the time... robberies, theft, or, something like this:
    I was drivng around somewhere in the backwoods, and suddenly saw a hitchhiker. I stopped, and he turned out to be a convict who had escaped from a nearby prison. He attacked me, and I paid him back dearly by hunting him down with my car.
    The characters are cool... crazy Trevor, the Tony Soprano-like Michael and Franklin, who kinda accidentially ends up in these criminal activities, but is actually a nice guy. There are some very fun heists, some cool quests to do, and SO much side-activity... playing the stock-market (you can get really rich if you do the right purchases before and after some of the assassinations Franklin is hired to do)...
    This game REALLY is an achievement, with such an incredible amount of detail, so much to do, so well-polished (no crashes, hardly ever any lag, great performance even on the graphics card I had back then, a GT 730), and just so well-done. Easily a 10/10, even though only 2 games get that rating from me in 2015.

    In this game there aren't minus (not to mention mods). Multiplayer in this game - multiplayer of dream, you can do anything action and increase RP. Storyline is very twisted. Everything else was said before me. 10/10.

    at first the game had few bugs but they are all sorted with time. (can't say the same about Multiplayer).
    I bought the game for it's Single Player and it's Huge ,took me 3 days of non stop playing to finish it.
    The game borrows many ideas from other games, movies, social media... from our life. one of the thing's that make this game great is it's ability to pull you in and forget about the real world.

    The voice acting is top notch in this game. (many actors from movies used to voice characters)
    Multiplayer is also good.hastes are a great way to play with friends, many things to do , will expand you playing time , example : i played Single player 3 days...Multiplayer I spent a month.
    the only negative thing about multiplayer is the connection bug. i have many friends in Gta 5 all around the world and every body have the same issue. from time to time you will get a Network error and will need to reconnect.(issue still not fixed by rockstar)
    Even with this multiplayer issue i am not going to decrease the rating.

    If you are reading this review please stop wasting time, go play the game :).

    Grand Theft Auto V is a game where you're capable of doing anything β€” from killing the innocent to completing some missions. This game is about liberty. Personally, I liked a new feature with three heroes. The online part of this game wasn't so interesting for me, unfortunately. However, if you are a big fan of GTA, buying this is necessary.

It really is. Once i completed the game, i really felt loneliness and nostalgia, due of how great the game is; and that i have to wait for (hopefully) GTA 6. Online just extends your time of playing the game, fun and exciting, but there are some hackers though. I'm fine with that anyway. Love how they dealt with the Duke.
    Anyway, this is a truly amazing game and i'd recommend it to anybody anytime.

    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.
