    Grand Theft Auto is a game about cars, and criminality. Every single game in the franchise has had these two things except Grand Theft Auto V. While GTA 5 has lots of cars, The story lacks much or any criminality as you spend most of the game working for the FIB.

    GTA 5 is not the best game in the series, In fact in many aspects - It's the worst.
    As mentioned previously, The story lacks criminality. A few heists, a few short missions, and not much else is what you get for criminality. In the previous games you were a Hitman, you worked for the mob, or you were a gangster. None of the 3 main characters fit in these spots. Honestly, I don't like any of the 3 main characters. They lack any personality and are boring cliche's. The story in this game ends rather abruptly, And the end game content is absolutely dreadful. If you love hundreds of boring fetch quests with no reward ( They literally give you $1 for completing one of them ) Enjoy! You have to do this for %100 game completion.
    GTA 5 I find is a direct slap in the face from Rockstar to its previous fans. CJ's house is no longer on Grove st, The Balla's own Grove st now, and this is never explained in the story. This is a direct slap in the face to ANYONE who played San Andreas. The story in this game is absolutely terrible, and wins the worst story of the franchise.

    The Police in this game are broken, and still are broken, and will remain broken. The Police helicopters magnetically follow you around, they crash into objects, they see you through tunnels and underground, a new one spawns the instant you blow it up, and the police on board rarely miss their shots. The police will attack you for the smallest of things, and you can get a wanted level even from sniping someone in the middle of nowhere with a silencer. The police cruisers will even go as far as driving up a mountain to attack you. While the police needed to be more difficult, They went way over board with the cops.

    This is the largest game in the franchise, and they've crammed detail into every corner of the map. Although the mountains have terrible spawnpoints in multiplayer, your bound to find something interesting every so often.

    If you're looking for "Best in the Franchise" aspects to this game, Look to the general mechanics. The shooting is drastically improved for the better and many more guns have been added into the game. The cars and driving are far better then any of the previous games, and car modification is absolutely perfect. The graphics are also vastly improved. These are the award worthy aspects of the game.

    GTA Online, Rubbish since Day one. I've already reviewed GTA Online individually, So I will just give you a shorter version of this.
    GTA Online is cancerous. The community is toxic, the PvP is broken by DLC vehicles, and the game will take ingame money from you wherever possible. GTA Online is packed to the brim with cheaters, and the best Rockstar can do is ban them for 2 weeks, along with the people who mod singleplayer, only to have them come back with their cheats 2 weeks later. R* support is like talking to a wall, Don't bother. They don't care. Don't step into this turd.

    Let it be known that this is NOT the best game in the franchise. Play San Andreas, Play Vice City, Play GTA 3, and take the R* beer goggles off. If you enjoy going on random rampages and exploring, go for it. This game is for you. But in general, this game was over hyped, and doesn't live up to the title of "Best Grand Theft Auto" or even "Best Game".    … Expand

This game ls about 3 characters, one as a retired bank robber, a street thug and finally a crazy psychopath. I play this game almost every day because it’s such an amazing game. I like a lot of things on the game like the story, it gives so much detail in the background by giving the game so much history about the characters past and how we get to play as them in the past. Another thing that I like is the gameplay, I think the gameplay is at the moment one of the best games out there because of the extraordinary pixelated graphics. I also love how the game starts with the introduction by robbing a bank and getting chased by the police. I also love about how easy and interesting the game gets, and then wanting to play more and more as you process through the game. I also like how the game has different ways to play the game and different endings that you can choose on your own

    I hope you agree with my opinion on this game and Thank you for spending your time on this review    … Expand

    Overrated. Simply put, in my opinion this game does not deserve the praise it gets. I'll begin by saying this is a fantastic open world game and is truly a delight to roam around, but this is personally what I don't play GTA for. I play it for the story and this time Rockstar did not deliver, the story and characters are just shallow and is all over the place. It really doesn't know whatOverrated.

I play it for the story and this time Rockstar did not deliver, the story and characters are just shallow and is all over the place. It really doesn't know what it is, is it a serious story or is it simply satire (bad satire)? I personally enjoyed GTA IV's much more and even GTA Vice City's (which was reasonably simple). I also feel the game itself is pretty soulless, even more soulless than other GTA games, another huge flaw in my opinion.

    The PC Port is ok, however there was a problem that made this game a little less enjoyable than it should be and that's the constant FPS drops whilst driving/flying, it's far too jarring to not be a complaint. Every couple of seconds I'll get drops from 90fps to 40fps (keep in mind, none of the settings change this, I even played on low and the problem still persisted). My graphics card is a GTX 970 and I have an Intel i5 3450 and 16GB RAM, more than capable to play this game at High+ settings. Some lucky souls have got this game working fine, however the majority have experienced these FPS drops.

    The multiplayer is also total **** with modders all over the place and FPS drops being even more persistent. Rockstar have also developed the multiplayer in such a way that to save up for certain vehicles/houses, you have to buy micro-transactions or you grind away for a couple of days (which is extremely tedious).

    Overall it's a very fun game with a jaw-dropping open world, but it has a very weak story which is very odd for a GTA game. Simply not my cup of tea, I much prefer GTA IV.    … Expand

I log onto their fancy little servers, promised with servers up to 30 players, all this action and competitive multiplayer, great free roaming, and moments with friends. Well, they missed all of that by a long shot.
    If by chance I do get in a server with a friend after trying for over fifteen minuets, I might be able to do something on occasion like rob a store or chase some guy that's... hacking. Like, they don't moderate the game in anyway. The only thing they do, is if you report someone that cheated to get additional money, they'll ban them for a little while. If there is a guy spawn camping you for thirty minuets, the devs don't care at all. Not to mention the server lag, which at this point it's humorously terrible. Actually it's not even funny. Did I mention the servers close randomly and that I may have only seen a 30 player server once in my 80 hours online? I mean, those are just the hours I spent in GTA Online. They are a lot of hours because I hoped by the 80th, the game would work. I own this game for the PS3, PS4, and the PC, and not one version does this thing work. It's almost as if they completely forgot to put the game, into the game.
    Of course there is the single player. It's good, I mean, if the giant rain cloud behind it (the multiplayer) wasn't casting a grand shadow of poop on it, I would talk about it a lot more. In fact, I don't even have anything to complain about the single player, but that's not what I spent 80 hours doing on PC. I only spent an additional 20-30 hours on the single player, but that's nothing compared to the 100+ of hours that I spent on the multiplayer throughout all the versions of the game.
    This game scared me, truly. I hated every minuet of it.    … Expand

This is the first GTA game with an online feature that has come out. I believe that this game is a great game to play even though there is a lot of violence and explicit scenes. This game is great quality and has a realistic look to it, it also has a story mode which is about betrayal, violence and death. Personally I think that this game is addictive which can make people anti-social, but if you set a time of how long you play for each day it can help you fit in other stuff such as going out, school and also homework. Others might believe that this game is too violent but I believe playing this game could be a stress relief as you are being violent on a game not in real life, but others might think that’s this game is teaching violence to the player. This could be true but this game is aged 18+ which means it is for adults and this is shown on the cover. But overall I believe that Gta V is a great game and definitely is my favorite, and I do recommend this game to other and I assure you that it is your money’s worth.… Expand

    1. I just bought this game today, also accidently purchased in-game money with it as well, and didn't relize.
    2. Took hours to download.
    3. took roughly 30 minutes to troubleshoot the game to work in "safe mode" that it showed the game worked, but didn't with just trying it normally.

    My gameplay experience:
    1. I played the GTA V not online version for about 30 minutes to learn how the game worked( i.e. controls ).
    2. I then played GTA Online for about 3 hours, during which, i met someone who drove me around in his cool fast car, i stole a car, i did a couple open world missions. I then left that person, and went to do a multiplayer mission, which it took about 15 minutes for loading and queing of players. played for about 10 minutes. mission over.
    3. found another multiplayer car mission via some invite on my in-game cell phone. that took about 15 minutes for loading and queing of players, played for about an hour. made like $77,000 or something. mission over. during this mission i experienced lots of lag and delay in car actions such as braking, or even just turning left and right. I streamed for about 20 minutes with Xsplit Gamecaster, then i stopped cause i thought I was lagging, but it wasn't cause of that program!
    4. played for about 15 more minutes, then left the game.
    5. returned 15-20 minutes and took about 20 minutes to log in to GTA Online again, and it said i was suspended and i couldn't play GTA Online for a 30 days, and i could play regular GTA V.

    Final Issues:
    1. took me an hour to find out how to get support on the rockstargames website to address the suspension.
    2. the rockstargames support doesn't allow new accounts to post threads for help, you must be a member for 30 days.
    3. rockstargames doesn't allow repeals of suspensions no matter what.
    4. rockstargames doesn't have an online chat to speak to someone live, you must call their support phone number.
    5. the support phone number for rockstargames personnel cannot do anything for you, and will only repeat the same notification you get in-game about a suspension and tell you that you cannot get a repeal of your suspension.
    6. rockstargames customer support really sucks and is pretty much non-existent. they rely on players to give other players support for their games.

    PROS:
    good open world
    I like GTA games ( maybe not anymore after this experience)

    CONS:
    1. need to load additional stuff for jobs and queing with other players... takes about 15 minutes to load one of these multiplayer jobs
    2. takes about 20 minutes to connect to GTA Online
    3. took me about 30 minutes to troubleshoot the game with the "safe mode" it provides.
    4. not compatible with Windows 10, need to run game in compatibility mode with Windows 7.
    5. automatic suspending system suspends innocent players for a minimum of 30 days.
    6. customer support number is technicial support and cant help you with anything. they repeat back the warnings you got when attempting to log into a suspended account.
    7. suspensions of even innocent suspensions are not repealable.
    8. all sales final, because by time you get the game working and decide you dont like the game, you've already played 2 hours.
    9. all in-game money that is purchased is not refundable no matter what.
    10. think you're safe cause you live in EU and can use the EU Right of Withdrawal? think again, they dont care.
    11. Steam support AND rockstargames support cant help you with your problems.
    12. you want to post a thread on rockstargames support, but your a new account? well you cant post for help for 30 days. good luck!
    13. takes hours to download this game, its 67GB.

    Not even owned this game for 12 hours, and I've experienced horrible lag, bad customer support by not only rockstargames, but also Steam in not being understanding of my situation by either unsuspending my account or providing a refund.

    I'd love to give this game a solid 10, but at launch there was just a handful amount of really bad bugs and memory leaking. Its been delayed too much to still have in game bugs at launch and it still has its issues till this day. If it were not for GTA V' s modding community I would give it a 6.

    Is it OK not to like the game? Will I be banished from the internets? I sure hope I won't, cause I've found this game incredibly dull. I was not able to connect to the character(s), and the novelty of running around the streets and punching people to death wears off pretty quickly.

Soundtrack is with no single song to remember. You buy extremaly expensive cars and you can not use them inside mission, dissapointing. You can not upgrade your character's main vehicle. This works a lot like deattachment from the game flow. You take time to compse your character appereance, only to find that next mission is replacing your effort with one from scenario. The game tone: until now, few days after finishing the game, I can not find the essence: was it serious, was it joke, was it drama or comedy? I do not care for multiplayer, I only started it once, only to find that city is dead, and some punk chasing and shooting me from heli with automatic weapon. There is maybe more than that but I did not care. The meter that is never wrong to me is: I like the game then I can not stop playing it. I do not like the game, I need to force myself to play it. Well, since as a player I could not miss gtaV anyway, I had to force myself to play it and finish the campaign.… Expand

    Rockstar games are dying. Rockstar kill games with on-line. The last good game was GTA SA. GTA IV was buggy. In GTA V, the plot was completely killed, for the sake of drawing money from the players. Where is the zombie mode? Where are the plot additions? Where is the fight against cheaters? The greed of modern developers is endless.

    The first 10 hours or so of this game had me feeling more like it was about a 9, it starts off really well and is very fun. But once you get into the "meat" of the game, you get the typical Triple A "mile wide, inch deep" type bs where you start to discover the game falls off to mediocrity.

You can even do it online and in the    The first 10 hours or so of this game had me feeling more like it was about a 9, it starts off really well and is very fun. But once you get into the "meat" of the game, you get the typical Triple A "mile wide, inch deep" type bs where you start to discover the game falls off to mediocrity.

    My main qualms:

    -No purchasable safehouses. Seriously? You can even do it online and in the beta, but why not in the single player game? Why not at least have some DLC? This is absolutely ridiculous. One of the most fun aspects of the previous games to me was having multiple safehouses I could not only duck into and lay low, but also to store cars at. You only get 1 to 2 safehouse per character and they can only be used by those characters, and they are default given to you based on the story. Lame lame lame

    -Clothing options suck. There are only really 3 different clothing stores, and you can't even buy the same clothes for all the characters. You also can only pair certain shoes with certain pants, which makes it way harder than it needs to be to form a cool outfit, especially for characters like Franklin who when they go into the "nice" clothing store, can only buy Chinos as pants, which aren't able to pair with the "nice" shoes. in fact there are no "nice" pants you can buy for him, rather you have to buy a full suit, but if you want to get any of the cool sports coats or jackets, you can't wear any good pairs of shoes with them because since it is not a full suit you are forced to wear chinos or other pants (none of which are allowed to pair with nice shoes)

    -The missions become lame after a while. They go from making me feel like an action start, to just fighting against the controls of the game to to tedious tasks. Flying missions are all horrible and unfun, as are many of the sidequest.

    -It is unclear the difference between "pocket money" and "bank money". You keep getting these emails that show you are collecting revenue, but it is a pain to try and figure out where this money actually is. After googling for several days and posing questions on forums I finally figured out where it is.

    -The swimming controls are horrid, and make zero sense. Why is the jump key by default the same as the dive key? And why should I have to google how to swim up every time I'm caught underwater losing breath because it's insanely overcomplicated to figure out how to swim back to the surface? So many unfun incredibly anger inducing deaths have come from drowning.

    -Michael and Trevor's powers are too similar. They are essentially the same thing, "Be good at combat". Why not diversify and make one of them good at parkour or something? Have Franklin be the driver, Trevor be the crazy gun guy, and Michael be the physical specimen that can jump over huge distance, run fast, climb walls, basically specialize in getting away via foot, and also be really good at hand combat with special moves and such.

    -In general there's nothing good to spend your money on. You can spend money on property, which you can't even enter or customize, it just makes you more money or gives you unfun non descript missions to undertake. All the guns are cheap and ammo is cheaper. The clothing is limited and not done well. There are no safehouses to buy cool mansions or lots of various ones to just have around the city. Spending money on cars is useless because the characters just have their default vehicles and there are only like 2 or 3 garages per character, and most missions will erase your car randomly so... yeah

    -Lack of heists. Come on, you know we want to do the heists mainly. You get to do one at the beginning of the game, and it leads you to believe there will be many with this whole explanation of choice of characters and gaining experience. In the end it really just doesn't matter at all, and you go through suuuuch a long drought in the game where you never even get the opportunity to pull a heist after the first one (you even get teased with a heist where you can't choose any of the characters, and get no actual reward from it)

    -No way to choose a set of outfits your characters can be found in. They always make the characters look like idiots, why can't I lock in the set of outfits that they can randomly be found in? Such a simple thing that can add so much more fun to the game.    … Expand

    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

    The sad part is that the PC edition comes so late. They tried, and the game looks pretty, but controls on the planes and helicopters are much less intuitive and stink of a console port. Cars at least drive well with a keyboard, mouse. The worst console port mistake they made is putting the "special ability" key right next to the gun-swap button when a single tap changes you to unarmed. Great way to end a rampage. (sarcasm)
    My next biggest complaint is how stripped down the world seems outside of missions compared to previous games in the franchise. I know that is because they are trying to funnel people to the online heist mode. I know this is their big focus because the most recent 0.5 gig patch made the base game run slightly worse and looking at the patch notes, it was all new stuff for the online mode.    … Expand

    To my big surprise I'm still on that break and I'm not even slightly tempted to go back.
    Initially I loved the game. After first ~15 hrs it felt like 10/10. Graphics were great, optimization amazing, fun gameplay and I loved implementation of 1st person perspective.

    The more I played the more flaws I saw. I liked the characters at first but as the story continues I realized how little personality they have. Franklin earns some money, moves to a fancy house and then his story pretty much ends. Michael has several problems with his family which leads to a bunch of different missions. The problem is - his family is quite horrible, I hated his wife and stupid kids. I get it - he loves them and wants to help them, but I couldn't care less about these characters, which made all those missions extra boring.
    Trevor felt like the most interesting character out of those 3. But then we witness him doing something awfully stupid. One good thing - his missions are most fun, lots of versatility, creativity.

    Overall there are too many missions that simply aren't very interesting. All the set-up missions for heists are terrible. I'd like to see more missions that include flying as well.

    Side activities.
    There are plenty and that's it. Shooting range was fun, I enjoyed hunting and... that's it. You don't get any decent rewards for them and they are not fun enough to just keep doing them.

    You can buy some busineses. They cost plenty, award you with some crapy mini-missions and give you lousy income. Basically, they're a waste of time.

    Earning money is difficult outside of main missions, but on the other hand there's nothing to spend it on. Forget about buying houses (not worth it) or cars (you will be stuck with personal vehicles anyway), so after you buy some guns and upgrades for personal vehicles, you're done.

    Walking around and exploring works for a while then it gets old. There's only a few "random" encounters, you won't find any cool hidden items. Best thing I found was a bunch of topless ladies near some pool, behind a fancy house.

    There's plenty of things to do in GTA 5, but only very few of them I found entertaining and actually worth doing. The main story and characters are in my opinion significantly worse than in previous GTA games.
    Overrated game but still can be enjoyable for a while. Get it when it goes on a sale.

    The game is really good although it bugs me that it requires a mandatory day one 5gb patch. With so many delays, surely the game should be shipped in a highly finished state? Installing 7 dvds, then all the rockstar social club stuff, then hours downloading a giant patch. It seems Rockstar does not put user experience first.

    GTA V is an improvement over GTA IV, easily, but it's not up to GTA San Andreas' level of craftmanship.

    GTA V has less sense of urgency, exploration, adventure, excitement, creativity, and running wild and free than GTA San Andreas accomplished, and the GTA V mission layout is inefficient and seems like it was done to artificially elongate player play-time.

    With GTA V, Rockstar seem to have proven as de-facto that they do not have much competence at PC game-making, as the UI in GTA V is pretty hodgepodge thrown together, the minigame controls that come up in GTA V missions are very erratic / inconsistent, and accessibility for things in GTA V can be really non-intuitive, and not in line with expected functionality. Rockstar seems to clearly be a console developer who has made an effort for the PC version, but have little familiarity with the PC gaming experience. A lot of their design choices in GTA V are abysmal, and beneath average usability. They need to get their heads out of their own asses, and open their eyes and figure their sh*t out better. Maybe they're expecting a free pass without doing the proper work owed.

    The city of San Andreas is very nice, but it feels like GTA V doesn't make enough use of it. There is a lot less of a feeling of exploiting every opportunity in GTA V than there is in GTA San Andreas. GTA V is just a lot more normal than GTA San Andreas, and maybe that's why they made the Trevor character - to compensate for lacking an innate creative zaniness in the writing, mission design, overall main story. But as the player, I've wanted to kill Trevor off all along, and don't enjoy playing as him, or his contribution to the story.

    I think that the character Trevor doesn't work.The character Trevor is crazy, but RS don't seem to have known what they were trying to accomplish by it, and it feels a bit as though it was done just to see what it was like, or just to grab people's attention with vapid shock value. Having better design in the game would instead be a satisfying player draw, and Trevor seems gimmicky.

    The story in GTA V feels a bit mundane, and it makes the individual mission shine less, and have less sense of important purpose within them. Kind of feels like like just dealing with things while nothing more interesting is going on.

    The GTA V mission design is all criss-crossed across the map, so it's not like GTA San Andreas, where you'll have a bunch of mission development in an area - instead, GTA V has the player driving not especially interesting distances between each mission, and it's reducing of engagement. Maybe RS had fewer missions and tried to stretch out the playtime with this design. Whatever their reason, relying on such a tactic doesn't help the game, but makes it clear that a lack of design quality is present.

    GTA V is OK, the graphics are good - but RS hasn't employed as masterful a touch in this product as they did in GTA San Andreas, and some things in GTA V feel like RS were trying to hide recognition of that by using noisy distractions.

    I hope RS start earning their reputation again, rather than riding on it.    … Expand

    At first everything completely worked, and the immersion factor lived up to this legendary hype. Somewhere in the middle though, apathy began to set in. By the end, missions felt shallow, dialog grating, and the narrative flimsy. Rockstar proved themselves utter masters of transcendent city building at the expense of everything else.

Yet it confuses me that GTA V has again failed to make its users understand what the hell was their delays for.

    A good solid output, with just a few minor quibbles. Things that seem a little cheeky, like the advert about the new first person shooter, how all the levels are all the same?
    Wondering how many times I do a mission, take a constantly yapping passenger, to a location shoot someone and drive back before I realise “how all the missions are all the same”.
    In fact all in all it’s the same GTA just a different Roman numeral. But hands up, for whatever reason it’s still fun!
    What’s the point of manually swapping out characters, isn't far easier and better for the story continuum to do that for me?
    The story is OK, not great but certainly doesn't bore you to death. Some moments are absolutely hilarious, but only a few brief moments.
    I was impressed by blood splatters that stick with the car and with the scenic locations. The graphics are far better than previous versions, imagine Hare Krishna’s in glorious polygons?
    Of course, Great Graphics means high end machine, but that has always been a PC problem.
    Free Driving like a reckless lunatic and wondering if the police will ever show up? And then wondering if there is a parallel in the real world?
    Wondering why the inclusion of strip joins is a must, is it for the kids that shouldn't purchasing this game in the first place?
    Wondering is a video character painted black, allowed the same leniency as an actual black person using the N word?
    Why do they have to swear so much?

    The multiplayer is plagued with problems, a confused system of punishments for playing the game the way it's meant to be played, and not punishing users that harass each other, a gross lack of anti-cheat measures as bad as the DayZ mod, and a horrific grind to unlock anything in an effort to encourage you to spend even more money on in-game cash.

    - All missions looks the same after a while, even side ones (that are actually just a couple for each character)
    - Since the very beginning you got your arsenal of weapons, if you die you dont even lose them (just $ 5000 fee at the hospital and there you go).
    - Never got cuffed by the police (not sure if you can actually I think they just shoot you down)
    - 3 characters looked extremely fun at the beginning, but then, if you think about it, you dont immerge in the game at all.
    - Kind of small map, especially if compared to San Andreas, you only got the city and the highlands, ant that's it.
    - Except for the ending, you cant really decide anything in this game.
