    Just perfect.
    Maybe the cops intelligence could be better, and i wish they were more places you can visit (like in GTA4 where you were able to go in clubs, museum, hotels aso)

    Graphics are even sharper than the last gen ports, the rain effects at night really shine. Rockstar should be commended for this remaster version, GTA 5 was already a great game, but the small details are what matters.

The first person mode is neat and unique to this version but wasn't the best method for playing overall; but still it was nice to have the option and was good for sightseeing in the game. If I had any complaint about the single player experience it would be not enough heist missions. It feels like they could have done more with this feature, I have a feeling it was done on purpose to lure people to online play. Overall this game is a must own for the PS4!… Expand

    I like the game very much. I was well aware of 4k graphics feature but wasn't expecting such HQ graphic details. I play in PC (Ultra settings) and the textures are phenomenal.

    Excellent game. One of my favourite games of all time. Fantastic action and a great story line. Some of the stories made me cry with laughter. The characters are just brilliant.

    This is the game that will go down in history as the game that made every other game developer die of jealousy. This game is addicting. It doesn't get old, and it always guarantees a second play through at least.

Now I've heard that the customization and side activities aren't as good as Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, but those cons can be overlooked while I slap a 10 on this rating board. This game is very long, so if anybody tells you that it is short, please punch them. Then hand them the game, because they haven't played it if they think it's short. The story it's self is extremely long, not to mention the massive world and side quests. The first person machanics in my opinion were decent, but I'm not a huge first person shooter fan. It is very cool when your driving though. The gameplay is very smooth and not too hard, though I believe that Rockstar amped up the difficulty jus a little bit. The driving at first was bad, but I believe they've fixed it. The story is outstanding and the characters fell so real. You develop a love for each character. You fall in love with the whole world. I was sad when the credits rolled. Even though it took me over 2 weeks to beat this game, I still wanted more. I always turn my games back into gamestop and I decided to keep this one forever. That says something, and I've parted with some good games. This is probably the only game I felt comfortable paying full price for. You feel like it's worth every penny, even to the point to where it seems like a bargain. For parents, the game does have a lot of bad language, sexual references. Strip Clubs and Hookers are completely optional, but sexual references will still be in there. The worst thing is language. It is still a great game as is every Rockstar game. Buy it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Grand Theft Auto IV was about as much fun as watching The Godfather through a dirty coffee filter, and I had expected its successor to do much better. I must say it has, and it has a lot more color than the others. This game centers on three criminals hoping to make it big in the world of bank robberies. My favorite character was Michael, since he was the most relatable of the three. Franklin just came across as a sarcastic snob and Trevor, was well, Trevor. Michael seemed like an actual human being and responds to situations in the most fitting way possible. The story was pretty engaging, but it lost me a couple times in terms of pushing the story along. For example, one mission had me torturing a guy for intel. Afterwards, he said he would have just given it up. It left a question, why didn't he? And what was the information for anyway? All it said is that the other agency was going to get it first, so we could have been killing Miss Daisy for giving one of the agents a funny look at the intersection for all I knew. I also realized another plot hole. Couldn't the whole FIB thing have been avoided if Michael had just said screw you all and walked out the door? Trevor didn't seem to inconvenience him at all when he returned, even when he found out about his secret. His presence in Michael's life made as much of an impact as his long lost dog returned home after running away for being used as a weapon to smash yet another TV. After the campaign ended, the game got bland pretty quick. Doing side missions made as much difference to my experience as the fly that landed on my shoulder while I was driving down the highway, so I didn't even bother after about two of them. After the campaign, you pretty much don't have to do the stock market thing since I had more than enough money to buy whatever I wanted without having to worry about running low. Despite all this, I still had some fun in playing the game. Overall, the game was about as appealing to me as a cold pancake while holding back the syrup until I had eaten all the silverware first.… Expand

    Welcome to gta online, after you've made your generic looking character that looks like everyone else, it's time to grind for money! (or buy a shark card with real money which is stupid as h e l l) You can start by entering a deathmatch! The rules of this game mode is to see who can lock on the first which is boring as f u c k and really cheap. Races are pretty good. The community is an absolute cancer, you are guaranteed to meet; that 12 year old the brags about KD and money, Illegal alien, small mexican children, one old ass man that will try to troll you by following you around in passive mode in a car while constantly honking the same d a m n horn sound (and yes I am speaking from experience). You will be randomly killed by that one british dude that you have no idea how he connected the a eastern -US server. Get s h i t talked to from black men. Things only get more exciting from here though trust me. With the new heist dlc new players are f u c k e d because the only way you can play one is if you own a $200000 and up apartment. Most of the dlcs are pointless. They kinda make you wanna say. "Can you guys just work on the next gta, or max payne," or any of their titles would be great. so you better start grinding for that green bb. Armored cars are a b i t c h and only those type of people drive them (including myself). In conclusion I would like to say that gta online has reduced my level of brain cells and continues to do so as I keep playing this game. thanks for the pepperoni pizza-yours truly-meekhel    … Expand

The gameplay is fun, the characters are well developed and even though they’re caricatures and criminals, they’re relatable. I really liked the character Franklin who seems like a good guy who is sadly brought up in the wrong neighborhood. Michael seems like a decent guy who has a bad temper but he seems to mean well and then there is Trevor who is a bad dude. There is nothing redeemable about him.

    In this game, you’re playing as all three characters and as I said, I liked two of them. Unfortunately, I don’t know what it was but the game was such a buggy mess. I didn’t have it in me to finish the game. I’m sorry to anyone who is actually going to read this. The rest of this is just going to be a rant about the game.

    Early on, when Michael and Franklin are still getting to know one another. You meet Michaels son for the first time and you have to chase down the boat. I did all of that and then the game takes you to a repair shop. I pull into the shop and nothing happens, I drive all over the place in the shop and nothing happens. So after 5-10 mins trying different things, I close the game and then start it again.

    When I start it up again, it makes me redo that mission again. Then I get to the part where I need to pull into the shop and it instantly triggers a cutscene. Are you kidding me?

    Then a little later on, the mission where you end up stealing the super weapon that you end up having to put back because selling it to the Chinese would be bad. I had 3 more major bugs.

    The first one is where was I had to drive a forklift and pick up some crates. The problem is, I couldn’t get into the forklift. No matter what I did. The game would not trigger me to get into the forklift. Eventually, I gave up and started running around and then I ended up going to an area where it fails the mission because I’m “caught.”

    Then it cuts back a little bit and somehow I’m sitting on the forklift so its like okay. Now I can actually do the mission. But when I got over to the area where I had to pick up crates. I spent 5-10 minutes just trying to pick up crates that I just couldn’t. So I gave up and ran over to the area where I got caught before. Then it cuts me back in the forklift. I just hopped out of the forklift ran straight over to the area where you fail for a third time just so I could skip that section of the mission.

    Finally on that same mission. When you play as Franklin and you’re fixed on being the sniper. You can’t move, you can’t do anything other than snipe. The problem is, I couldn’t zoom in and it was dark so I could see the enemies. So I kept trying different things and eventually, Michael died. Fail the mission and restart. I had to sit there and wait 5 minutes for Michael to die 2 other times just so I could skip that section of the mission so I could progress.

    This is one of the buggiest games I have ever seen. The fact that this game made a billion dollars and its borderline unplayable is upsetting.

    I feel better now.    … Expand
