    There's a reason that a decade later people are still playing GTA 5. The world, characters, driving, mods, heist story, online mode. There is so much to do and all of it is good.

    One of the best and most varied games of this century. Great gameplay, a great story, great characters. Who has not played the game missed something. 11/10 !

    Although the game did not quite live up to its hype, it did provide me with a great deal of entertainment. Excellent writing, superb voice acting, and wonderful game mechanics are marred only by the mundane things that the game sets before the player. Who wants to drive through traffic in a car once you have driven about in a tank? Nevertheless, it is an A- game is still well worth playing.

    I've been waiting for what seems like forever to play this game. I don't play consoles, so it finally feels good to experience the game via PC. Love the gorgeous graphics/lighting,great voice acting,Franklin/Michael/Trevor dynamic,nasty language,sweet rides/customizations,hilarious comments,radio stations/music,heists,video editor & the many things-to-do. No crashes and fps are good for my GPU.

    Hard freezes, bsods, and garbage crossfire support. The same kind of issues that gta 4 had bring down a great game to a mediocre port. Voice acting is great but the characters leave a lot to be desired. Side activities are numerous but not much fun.

    This game, the SCOPE of this game just blows me away. I played several days now and I am maybe 10% into the story. This is a game where you might find yourself just sitting in your car, listening to the great radio stations for an hour or two, or just driving around in the country side, climbing a mountain or hiking a trail, or having fun in director mode...or of course...follow the story :) The realism of this game, most of the time, is just mind blowing.
    I am running this on my i7 system with a GTX970 at very high settings and the game is smooth as it can get. I haven't had one single crash. One of the games where it's evident they really wanted to make a good version for PC and not just a halfa$$ port.
    I don't have too much to complain about this game, in fact I once stated this is probably the most impressive and possibly "the best" game of all times. And this should mean something. The only issue I have is that the scope of the game is just massive (aka: too much too see and to do.. :) and that getting through the story does not feel as "connected" as in previous GTA titles and you're sometimes stumbling not knowing what to do next...unless you then check the map to see where you can go to continue with the story. I had the impression that with former titles, getting through the story felt more "guided", while the scope/size of this game is just so big you can lose track on occasion. But maybe that's just me.
    Ultimately, I'd say that this game ALONE would be worth it someone buying or building a high-end PC. Most negative reviews I am seeing don't make any sense.    … Expand

    TECHNICAL: 9
    The best tweaking options ever. My 2-year old PC (about PS4-level) ran GTA4 at 15-25 FPS, but GTA5 runs at 30-45 FPS despite higher resolution and intenser graphical settings. I would've liked an explanation of each buzzword (instead of just VRAM cost, which doesn't perfectly translate to FPS). My recommendation: turn off MSAA, turn down Post-Processing, but leave Shadows on "very high" (so moving headlights will cast shadows) and Grass on "high" (for foliage immersion).

    PRESENTATION: 10
    (Story - 9): Dialogue and characterization is so excellent it encourages progression even during simple taxi missions. Mike and Trevor are equally psychotic, but Mike feels guilty and Trevor hates that hypocrisy, an interaction paralleled by the Franklin-Lamar relationship. Franklin will compromise his morals for money. Trevor's in it for fun (nothing the player can do as him is "out of character"), and might snap and kill Mike at any time. It's great. My only quibble is how the GTA4:TLAD characters are treated.
    (Graphics - 10): Numbers changes used to designate engine changes, but GTA5 is GTA4 with tweaks. The level of detail is amazing, with thousands of little touches: roof lights when you enter cars, gorgeous sunsets, how distant lights halo out at night, smoke/dust effects, etc. Shifting reflections on your car hood and moving shadows do more to create a sense of speed when driving than any motion blur could.
    (Physics - 9): The Euphoria engine that procedurally blends animations with ragdoll physics (for humans and animals) makes for glorious car crashes and shootouts. I love how enemies can ragdoll and still get back up, so you have to confirm kills.
    (Audio - 7): Good music, probably not at GTA:VC or GTA:SA level.
    (Force Feedback - 7): You feel things like the rough of a freeway, but less in 3rd- than 1st-person view, and I prefer more frequent rumbling.

    CONTROL - 9
    It's seamless, loading only on starting. 1st-person view on foot is recommended, 3rd when driving, and it remembers each preference separately. The interface is clean and functional, and time slows when you switch weapons or change radio stations. The game auto-detects when a controller is connected and accepts either input.
    GTA is built on open-world driving and shooting. The new element is shifting between the three characters at will. In one mission, one was flying a helicopter, another shooting out the back of it, and the third sniping from a nearby roof, all working in concert to avoid and take out chasing copters. Each character has a special ability, like slowing time or invincibility. Friendly AI is amazing; it can competently shoot AND drive (eat your heart out, Halo), to the point where, on one stealth mission with sniper cover, I kept switching and yelling "no, let ME do the fun stuff" at whichever AI I wasn't controlling.
    (Shooting - 7): Shooting is good, especially in first-person. I miss visible gas tank covers on cars from GTA:SA (you can still aim near the left rear wheel, but you have to guess). The worst part is that, unlike GTA4, NPC's now drive off when you aim at them. In GTA4 you could threaten a driver out of a car, which was better gameplay than just pressing a carjack button; now, even if you shoot them, they slump on the gas pedal and drive off.
    (Driving - 10): Vehicle physics have improved massively from GTA4. GTA4 cars felt slow, ruining what had been the best vehicular "feel" in all of videogames. Driving is now at the GTA 3/VC/SA/MidnightClubStreetRacing perfection level. You can do donuts again. Flight controls are similarly great, the equal of GTA:SA's, but now with wind buffeting your copters/planes. Parachuting works great and I liked the bullseye-landings side missions.
    Due to the constant rolling 3D waves, the water physics are now the best in any videogame (including Wave Race and AC4:Black Flag). Whereas Ubisoft claims it couldn't put online sailing multiplayer in any of the three Assassins Creed sailing games (3, 4 and Rogue) because it was "too hard" to standardize their water physics, Rockstar's GTA5 supports 8-player jetski races with the full 3D rolling waves and seaspray.
    (Melee - 3): Fistfighting is not improved, disappointing given how common it is. You can only attack or dodge-then-counterattack, and sadly the physics engine doesn't differentiate one fistfight from another.

    DESIGN - 8
    You can replay missions (including most side missions) from a menu, and time of day autoshifts forward where appropriate on triggering a mission, but for some reason neither statement applies to street races. Sadly, every mission design has been repeated from past GTA's.
    GTA:Online Races and Deathmatches work fine, but Heists never will because they aggravatingly fail whenever any player dies. But singleplayer is huge (40+ hours) and well worth it alone.    … Expand

While the game world may not be as diverse as San Andreas', it's still a lot more interesting than GTA IV's Liberty City. Exploration is almost impossible to resist and you'll find yourself just driving around the world doing random activities between missions, or just seeing what distractions this version of San Andreas has to offer. The missions are fun, the different playable characters keep things interesting, and the graphics, while not mind blowing, are a big step up from GTA IV. Performance-wise, if you have even a half-decent graphics card and a CPU that can run modern games then you'll be playing at 60 FPS easily. I'd even go as far to say that this is the best PC port this generation. Just a word of warning, you're going to at least need 1 gigs of VRAM to just play the game. Anything less will simply not be enough, and at the time of writing there is a memory leak issue, so make sure you have at least 6 gigs of RAM and have your page file enabled (if you don't you're going to run into constant crashes). Other than that the game runs fine.… Expand

    GTA V can satisfy me after a long wait after GTA IV.

    3 characters with different personalities, choice of vehicle is increasingly diverse, the better gameplay and a good story. But I think the story mode should be made even longer.

    For multiplayer mode is very fun to play repeatedly. Never get bored, especially for mission heist. This game deserves to be bought.

    Awesome single player. Lots of fun, immersive quests that will keep you coming back for more. Not really a fan of playing 3 different characters and going back and forth, but not a big deal. 9/10.

    That being said, multiplayer is bad. It has microtransactions that give people who pay quite an advantage over those who don't. Need I say more? 0/10.

    On GTA V I've ran into a few bugs like camera getting locked while doing a Last Man Standing or the game freezing up when I'm driving into my garage. Besides that it's a great game. Rockstar did a great job at porting this game over to PC.
