    GTA V is a good game. The graphics for an open world are just fantastic. The history is ok, not good not bad. The online was good but with the micro transactions it has gotten much worse.

    Excelente juego para despedir la generación. Gran manejo, los personajes son geniales y las opciones y libertad también. El modo historia sin duda es un 10.
    El online también, y los atracos y misiones en este son super entretenidas. Si el online no tuviera tantas fallas y problemas a la hora de conectarse con amigos, el juego sería un 10.

The fact you can change between 3 very different characters during story missions and out of it adds to the gameplay as they all have a different ability and have certain strengths. The shooting is fun with lots of weapons to choose from. The driving in this game is very smooth and polished and in my opinion the flying is also brilliant. The world of Los Santos and Blaine County is brilliantly constructed with huge amounts of detail in everything. There are multiple side missions that have funny, creepy or weird characters in them and some help you unlock collectible missions that give extra side missions or new items. The online is very good with lots of missions that Rockstar made and there is user created content you can download on to the game and there are some brilliant ones out there. Being able to play with friends in an open world that is amazing adds to what the single player aspect of the story offers its players. It has it's problems with other players but in general, people are alright on this game and there are ways to not play with trolls or hackers. Expand

About the story, I have to say that for a non native English speaker you miss half of the plot even if you have subtitles because they usually speak a lot and very fast and the letters are really tiny I don't know why and when you're driving and they're talking is impossible to pay attention to the subtitles. And I think that there are too many different stories, I would have preferred one main story like in The last of us. It took me almost 40 hours to beat with most of the extra missions finished. About the difficulty, normally the missions are not very difficult but I think I skip 3 or 3 parts from different missions because I was lazy. You can skip parts of the missions when it's your 4th time or so. Also, when you want to play you have to wait a lot of time but I think it's normal because with most of the games you have to click start and continue your game but with GTA V you go directly to the game.

    Playability is the best of the GTA series and better than Red Dead 2 as well. Combat, driving and flying are all tight and fun- as long as you don't mind arcadey rather than simulation.

    GTA Online is practically dead on PS3 and crawling with pranksters and glitches now, and while still busy on PS4 it's ultimately a bit of a waste of time in my opinion. Top marks for the story mode through.

Especially if you have no friends to play with. The missions get boring and repetitive over time and I noticed the pay in experience and money gets lower every time. So you can't spam missions even if gets boring. It may be me, but I feel like that's on purpose to promote people to buy shack cards because basically you have to be rich to enjoy the game. Again, my opinion. Expand

    The perfect game to say goodbye to 7th gen. FUN, this game is totally FREE, it feels QUITE different to GTA IV, is game is for fun, the campaign mode is flat, is only based on scores, but, in final, this game is JUST for passing and killing time, I recommend this game for you, actually you can find it under 10U$ Dollars, The best way to spend 10 dollars if you have them, of course :D

The fun factor is off the **** charts! And the graphics and attention to detail will have you pissing yourself, you'll be so impressed!

    Gta v is probably one of the best video games ever conceived. Every factor of this flawless game is brilliant and has the right quantity of content,making you strolling through the serene landscape and blowing up vehicles for months.
    Alot of the elements are felt like they are specifically designed to appeal to different varieties of the modern gamer. For example if you are an action fanatic(like myself) there are countless unique action set pieces in both story and off story. Or if you are more horror/stealth individual then there are stealth components provided in some of the missions.Or if your a comedy fan then there are numerous comedic dialogue,amusing characteristics and funny mission designs etc

    A major component that makes this game iconic and memorable is the fascinating, intriguing plot. In this game we are provided with a trio with differentiated characteristics which is something we rarely see in a video game.Each of the characters have detailed backstories and missions which is highly realistic. The cut scenes are very intense,well performed and are interesting. The end mission ( I AM NOT GOING TO SPOIL) is really surprising and questionable(morally and emotionally) and perfectly ends off a great plot.
    The plot generally is highly sophisticated and interesting with intimidating and good antagonists similar to Grand theft auto San Andreas's ( a previous entry in the Grand theft auto series).It also has ( I WON'T SPOIL) some of the best missions in the series with heists which revolutionized bank robbing video games.

    The only issue I posses about this game is that the civilians/NPC'S are unrealistic and are unresponsive however this was different in GTA San Andreas were you could some times optionally engage with NPC's. This problem is just a minor slight flaw and is highly insignificant that is just my personal nitpick.

    Overall if you have not got this game I will not be mad Ill be disappointed. This game has got perfect missions, a sophisticated plot, an array of differentiated characters and a open world environment so detailed and realistic that you'll think you have gone outside.

If ever enjoyed any GTA game, you'll love this one and send to hell the other parts you played before. It's entertaining, you got the missions, side quests, minigames (although hoped there were more), that open world SO full of life! You'll spend hours sometimes just walking around, admiring the landscapes, hikking the mountains. I don't even know how the console doesn't crash with so much detail in this world, the graphics, lighting, those beautiful skies (probably the most realistic ones I've seen in a game, screw The Witcher 3). And that was on a PS3! Probably there are too many useless searchs (pieces of letter, nuclear waste, ovni pieces...) or too defiant challenges (flying under a bridge) and these specialy have so little to no reward that makes you feel frustrated for spending so many hours on them... but the rest, is gold. Sadly I'm not into the whole online thing, otherwise I'd enjoy it too. This game will remain among my most favourite ones in my lifetime, very close to Red Dead Redemption. And who can't love Trevor... Expand

Heck, I could say there are some minigames that could easily be games on their own.

    Yes there are some minor problems, and yes it is relativelly easy. Option to select dificuility would be great. But otherwise, this is the masterpiece, and I am glad that its not some copy of previous gtas, how many people wanted (because of nostalgia).

    - The world is the highlight here. It is huge and varied, ranging from the excelent recreation of LA to more fictional countryside and rural areas. It all looks great considering the system it runs on. The variety of customization of cars, clothing, and weapons is huge.
    - Other aspects such as animations or score get the job done, but are not remarkable.
    -The Online is okay, including constant free updates, but is extremely dragged with real in-game purchases with absurd prices. It is really grindy and repetitive for those who do not spend anything in the store.
    Overall, GTA V is a great game, including a lot of conten (most of it quite good), but it is not by any means the greates in the series. Worth checking out even at the release price.

I like the fact that we've got choices and we can control some things during the sory mode. The online mode is really good and nice. It's hard to be bored there because you can do just so much thinks like races, missions, deathmatches, heists, car-tuning, explore the world, find secrets or just troll around. Some DLC's may be strange, so they shouldleave GTA V, that game has got some years and it's a big succes.

    The best way to bid farewell to the retiring consoles is to spend dozens of hours having fun in Los Santos: robbing, abusing illegal substances, breaking all laws and enjoying everything else that GTA V has to offer. And after we finish the game, we should all say loudly: ‘okay, Rockstar girls and boys, it’s high time to make a truly new GTA, not just a gigantic DLC’. [12/2013, p.36]
