    A lot of things that i want to say about this game has been said.

    I like how vast and full of things to do the world is, I like the 3 character system, and i also like the realism the game offers. The car driving mechanics are better than some racing games. But still all the game does is add more stuff and improve graphics, its all it did over vice city. So i will give this and Vice

    So i will give this and Vice city the same score because i dont think after all those years it did much to deserve higher than it.

    Worth playing, a good game.

    8.5/10

    A bit higher than vice city due to the huge world and many additional cool stuff to do.

    Great game. Best in GTA series except maybe GTA San Andreas. For me personally it lacks some of the RPG elements but its open world and all around design is just perfect.

    Awful graphics, awful controls, awful camera and bad theme. This is a pretty mediocre release in every way. Graphics are like welcome to five years ago.

    GTA V no es lo que todos esperamos.

    GTA V es una gran obra creada una vez mas por Rockstar, que hizo que estuviésemos esperando una nueva entrega de esta saga tan querida desde la salida de GTA IV ya por 2008.

    Y a día de hoy puede parecer normal pero engañaron a todo el mundo con las versiones de PS3 y Xbox360, esas versiones no deberían haber existido nunca, se noto que estaba siendo desarrollado para la nueva generación PS4 y Xbox One, y también nos engañaron con sacar la versión de PC dos años mas tarde, que resume perfectamente por que ha vendido tanto este juego.

    Cuando todos nos enteramos de lo que trataría la historia de GTA V, no pudimos soportar la idea de tener que esperar para poder tenerlo en nuestras manos y jugarlo inmediatamente, la novedad era que podríamos manejar a tres personajes diferentes a la vez, incluso teniendo misiones propias para ellos y en algunas ocasiones teniendo a los tres en la misma e ir cambiando entre ellos para poder completarla.

    Si bien esto genero una emoción y expectación por el juego, cuando salio a la venta el publico o al menos yo esperábamos mucho mas que solo eso, en definitiva el modo campaña solo consistía en lo que es la historia y nada mas, se dejo de lado todas esas mecánicas que hicieron que el GTA SA fuese tan grande y se le pudieran dedicar casi tantas horas como quisieras.

    Si bien ha día de hoy juego tiene mucho contenido en el modo online, el modo campaña se queda muy pobre, todos los esfuerzos del equipo de desarrollo se fueron al online, y se noto mucho la falta de profundidad en el modo campaña, Rockstar sabia muy bien que si al publico le gustaba el online se podría llegar gastar dinero en las tarjetas, y así fue, un online plagado de contenido que si lo quieres conseguir sin pagar te tardas una vida y media, y una comunidad que esta apestada de casuals que no conocen nada mas allá que esto.

    En conclusión, no es ni el mejor ni el peor GTA, pero ha perdido todo lo que era en un comienzo y se a convertido en un juego totalmente enfocado al online con micropagos que son mas caros que el propio juego.

    I'm not a GTA fan but I have still played all GTA games except GTA IV in the last 20 years since I am a gamer and GTA is a gaming phenomenon more than a game. However, I feel R* have made a wrong direction for GTA. Many years ago, for Vice City or San Andreas, all gameplay elements were fun. The shooting experience, the driving experience the characters and the stories are all very superb.I'm not a GTA fan but I have still played all GTA games except GTA IV in the last 20 years since I am a gamer and GTA is a gaming phenomenon more than a game. However, I feel R* have made a wrong direction for GTA. Many years ago, for Vice City or San Andreas, all gameplay elements were fun. The shooting experience, the driving experience the characters and the stories are all very superb. However, what I experience in GTA V is an inferior shooting experience, mediocre characters and boring plots. Even the driving experience sucks. In the process of GTA offers more and more options to players, the video game industry has changed a lot too. All genre are showing their incredible evolutions. GTA cannot be the game which just offers the options regardless the quality of the options anymore.
    Overall, it is still a good option for many budget players since it is like a bundle of games, but for players have a huge library, this game basically offers absolutely nothing.

    p. S One may think it is unfair to compare one single game to a game library. However, it is what happens when the game offers a variety of options, and none of them is particularly good. For normal gamers, they are going after a particular experience, so a game has to be decent in something. For instance, if a player what to enjoy some great characters and plot, he would go for Witcher 3; this game has an inferior combat system, but combat is not the reason you play this game, you play it for the characters and plot. The players who want to have a great combat system would go for Dark Souls or the God of War. For the same token, the gamers who want a great shooting experience or driving experience can always found a better choice in their library. That is why a vast library can overshadow GTA V but cannot overshadow most games since most games have something unique to offer while GTA V is a budget bundle of games of its time, which I think might be a wrong vision for future GTA. But so far, it sells great, maybe it is the right vision but not for gamers like me.

    The shooting mechanics feel updated and improved compared to previous titles, the story is absolutely well written and interesting, so much so that for the first time on a GTA game I wanted to finish the main story before exploring the world; the introduction of first person mode was a good idea, even though poorly executed.
    Now what's the deal with my score, why doesn't this classic game deserve a ten in my opinion? One word: multiplayer.

    Graphically the game is beautiful, though it did not shine as bright when it released on the PS3 first a year earlier. On the PS4 however it shows its colors best. While the city of Los Santos, cars and nature can look stunning at times, the game shows its age when you take a closer look at buildings and draw distances.

    The gunplay while manouvering through bullet storms feels excellent. The cover system works well, and shooting while choosing where to hit your target feels satisfying. Cars handle much better compared to previous GTA games, and the customizing offers a lot of choice for plenty of cars. Some cars however offer surprisingly little choice.

    The story is excellent, with well defined characters. However, it is hard to connect to three characters who all seem to have plenty of money to make decent living, yet pretend their problems are bigger than those of previous GTA protagonists like Niko Bellic and Carl Johnson. The Switching between characters is a lot of fun.

    The game offers Heists which are very fun individually. However, these seem to be few in number for a game that markets itself on this content. Strangers and Freaks missions are a lot of fun. There are not many entertainment options compared to GTA IV, as it comes done to tennis, golf, darts and a strip club. This disappointed me, as it really needs a wide varierity of options considering the world is so big.

    GTA Online: This portion of the game is of a significantly lower quality than the single player portion. At launch the game barely functioned, and a month later it game apparent how basic the online game was. It was built around levelling, grinding for money to buy verhicles, rince and repeat. This of course was enjoyable for a while because of the large amount of content you could do with your friends. Over time Rockstar added more content, but this was built around making players grind even more to make buying shark cards look tempting. It became less about quality, and more about making money.

    This game definitely doesn't deserve a 10.

    This is a last-gen port. And sometimes it shows. Sometimes the graphics are great, sometimes it's clear that they could definitely be better, especially the geometry. The game handles much better than previous titles. Voice acting is top notch, some scenes are hilarious. The story is just OK, though. Some missions did feel a bit disjointed.

    The game handles much better than previous titles. Voice acting is top notch, some scenes are hilarious. The story is just OK, though. Some missions did feel a bit disjointed. And I didn't really like the characters that much. They're all nuts. I guess Michael is supposed to be the straight(est) man, but even he's a bit much. Characters rant and yell at each other often, it got annoying at times. On the other hand, I loved the story in Chinatown wars. It was hilarious without being nauseatingly psychotic. It was great. I wish a full-fledged console GTA had a story that was in the same style as Chinatown wars.

    The biggest problem with the single player is the lack of variety in missions. After San Andreas the series started taking mission types away, which I hated. GTA5 changes things up but the missions still feel a bit underdeveloped. In fact, the entire single player campaign feels kind of underdeveloped. Unique mission types seem a bit too rare and are over with fairly quick. What about buying and selling drugs? I loved that in Chinatown wars. My main complain then is that Rockstar should've brought more elements from previous GTA games and elaborated on them. There're too many standard fare driving missions. Also, money never seemed to be an issue. By the time I got a plane to do money missions it didn't matter, the game was almost over anyways. Add or add more missions in which you use all three characters, fly a jet, jetpack, gathering a posse, buy/sell drugs. And early in the game when money is actually tight. And THEN you work the story in. Story revolves around gameplay, not the other way around!

    Of course, their focus now is on multiplayer which is total b.s. I'm not crazy about multiplayer and I sure as hell don't want to play with moronic teenagers. After you pass the game there's little to care about other than multiplayer if you're a teenager. There isn't much hope that GTA or any rockstar game's single player experience will be very evolutionary. It's to be seen if Red Dead Redemption 2's single player will actually be as good or better than the first. Rockstar seems content on being a company that just makes MMO's. But that's where all the kids practically give them a license to print money, so what do we expect?

    Online:
    i would rate the online mode very highly, if it weren't for a few major things. Rockstar seems to want to throw all the DLC's and expansion packs at you as possible, like shark cards and flying cars. But although it's bad that they want you to pay for all the cool interesting pats of online, it also leads to a very toxic player base. You see when you first enter online you'll see dozens of flying cars and tanks and players who hack just waiting to prey on you and completely obliterate you're player. Now you might think that this only happens to noobs but even with me being a level 68 almost gta veteran it still happens.
    And this leads to what could be and amazing online mode almost being completely ruined.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Review about “Grand Theft Auto: V”
    The game was made in september 17th, 2013 by Rockstar games. The game was multiple awarded as GOTY( Game of the year), and the critic. The game story is about three men, Franklin, Michael and Trevor. The story begins with these men in a bank assault. The assault was successfully, but, one of them died, the escape driver. From there, the story unfolds with varied missions.
    The game was revolutionary in the 3rd person games, with an open world, being influential to other games in the industry. Still today, the game keeps a good fan base around the world with his online mode.
    Despite of being released in 2013, it remains modern until today but the game isn’t recommended for casual gamers because the game configs are too expensive.

    Grand Theft Auto V is a really good game, an interesting story and characters, fun open world and funny dialog. I like how grown up this game is and how its not afraid to be controversial, but after a while it does become stale and boring but that's probably because iv'e been playing it since it was released on the PS3 in September 2013. Overall its a ton of fun.
