    Have you ever had the feeling when you're watching Hollywood movie which had very expensive production but yet you don't enjoy it for some reason? Yes, the movie has these cool special effects, maybe some popular actors but it just doesn't click with you. I tell such movies and games plastic. I saw a review recently which greatly describes this phenomena: "more action, less immersion".

    Plot
    GTA SA and GTA IV had great plots and I was really interested in the stories. In GTA 5 I almost always had the felling the I don't care about the characters and their problems. Not to mention dialogues which sometimes looked like movie scenes with bad acting. Among all characters only Franklin is interesting while Michael being professional criminal yet can't handle his own family and Trevor is being very annoying and irrationally aggressive. Bank robbing is fun I'd say, but the game has very little of it. I've dropped the game on 50% and I would say that I didn't enjoy 70% of the missions. Sometimes you just don't understand why you're doing this and thinking that there isn't any sense in doing it.

    Character switching
    I hate the mandatory character switching. I often caught myself thinking that I want to play another character right now but no, the game forces me to fly planes and helicopters which personally I don't find fun or interesting at all. I mean, seriously, while the other character is participating in intense shootout or supposed to do something interesting I'm forced to play as a sniper or fly a helicopter. Why don't you provide the freedom to play whoever I like? For me it seems like blatant mission scripting.

    Game mechanics and misc
    * From the start I didn't enjoy riding cars. You don't have any drifting capabilities just slides.
    * All the time I struggled with game being to dark at night. I was changing game settings, display settings but all of this didn't work. The game is really dark at night, especially when you play sniper missions.
    * You can't see optional mission objectives during the mission. The game says you've failed to do everything 100% but you just don't know what the game wants from you. This is really annoying and is taking from you the the feeling of achievement when you finishes a mission. I understand that this was an attempt to make the main story re-playable but in fact in forces you to replay 80% of the missions even if you don't like them just to get 100% stats.
    * If you're using controller then riding a car and shooting at the same time will be inconvenient.

    Just to sum up, I have mixed feelings about this one. I can't say that this a bad game, no. The world is big and beautiful, shootouts and police chases are fun but apart from this the game didn't impress me. I've played ~30 hours and went to enjoy other games.

    This is undoubtedly a masterpiece although the 1) current day setting and 2) criminal game genre has never been my type. I would give it a 7 due to its not my type. But I dedicate 1 point to Trever for one of the best character in gaming. Trever is one of the best gaming character of all time

    The gta story mode is mediocre, but the online is infuriating. First of all for someone to even START playing you need millions of dollars just to begin making money (bunker 1.6M, nightclub 3M, apartment 300k, Terrorbyte 3M, oppressor mk2 3M, vehicle warehouse 2M, upgrades for businesses 7M, biker businesses 5M) THAT IS 25 MILLION DOLLARS JUST TO START MAKING MONEY.

Second of all these businesses are just a cheap money grab because they are extremely underpaid and extremely easy to mess up, (getting bombed, shot, etc) AND THAT HAPPENS EVERY TIME. the it is so clear that rockstar just wants you to but shark cards that are worth more that the game itself just so you can become another toxic griefer on a flying bike. this game is nice graphically but logically pathetic. I have seen better from mobile games. Expand

    Singleplayer:
    Gameplay is very good
    Story is fun and entertaining
    Characters are well written
    Open World is a milestone
    Online:
    very long loading screens
    too much hackers
    way too much paytowin

    Cuando gta V salió en 2013 para la anterior generación de consolas exprimió todo el poder de ps3 y xbox 360, a nivel gráfico y técnico, era un juego muy impresionante de ver. Las físicas los detalles, además de su gran mapa lleno de historias. Gta V es uno de los mejores juegos de la década.

    GTA V is a game full of action and variety. There is nothing in this world that is good for hours of fun for everyone.

    I found the system for the 3 protagonists revolutionary. On the other hand, I was unable to build a bond with any character. So it also worked against me in a certain sense. In addition, I found the story not strong and the happy/sunny atmosphere not fitting with the big

    In addition, I found the story not strong and the happy/sunny atmosphere not fitting with the big criminals that this game ultimately revolves around. It is therefore not the best part in the GTA series for me. Also no storymode dlc :(

    Nevertheless, it is a game that has a fun element for everyone and can be enjoyed for hours on end.

    While I don't agree with microtransactions in paid video games (thankfully this is exclusive to the online portion of the game), this is easily one of the greatest games I've ever played. The story, interesting characters, mockery of contemporary culture, great graphics and gameplay for the time, alongside the sheer time and passion that went into making this game is truly astounding.

    Пишут, что игры GTA - великолепные игры! Но не в одну из предыдущих игр я не смог поиграть больше трёх часов, до того они были скучны и однообразны, для меня.

    В 2013 году вышла GTA 5, несколько персонажей, новая боевая система, слоу мо, обе из Max Payne 3, система прокачки и т. д. Ну решил попробовать её на XBox 360, чё то не пошла. В 2015м купил её же на PS4, обновлённая графика, режим от первого лица и т. д.
    Короче, скажу сразу, в эту версию я поиграл часов 40 наверное! До конца, признаюсь, не прошел.
    Объясню почему.
    Хотя, в игре не плохой графон, который и сейчас неплохо выглядит.....
    Сюжет, на мой взгляд унылый. Он однообразен. 95% всего времени ты с кем то болтаешь. Болтаешь всегда, со всеми, в машине, в сортире, в постели, на улице, во время заданий, ВСЕГДА! И всё это море диалогов, переведено только субтитрами. Я пытался читать их, по возможности, все, чтобы не потерять, как говорят, "идеальную" нить сюжета. Через три часа у меня слезились глаза и болела голова! Короче забил и за сюжетом наблюдал особо не вникая.
    Теперь геймплей. На 80%, как во всех GTA, он состоит из поездок на машинах. Так как, я сугубо отрицательно отношусь ко всем покатушкам в шутерах, этот самый геймплей, для меня, оказался достаточно унылым.
    Теперь персонажи. Ну более менее мне понравилось играть за Майкла, нормальный, зажиточный неудачник, решивший тряхнуть стариной. Не знаю, мне, почему то, его было жалко. Тревор же, один из персонажей, которого мне захотелось самому застрелить, после одного часа игры за него. Удивительно противный персонаж.
    Самым скучным, на мой взгляд, оказался негр с мудрёным именем Франклин. Абсолютно безыдейный персонаж.
    Я, скажу честно, играл через силу.....СКУЧНО. Думал, ну где же, тот фейерверк идей, тот невероятный поворот сюжета, тот захватывающе разворачивающийся геймплей? То, за что так высоко оценивают эту игру! Где? Как я говорил, прошел, где то, часов 40 и...... ничего не поменялось, я сдался.....СКУЧНО! А, почитав в интернете сюжет, просто охренел когда понял, что не дошел даже до середины! СКУЧНО!
    Неет, это не для меня, извините!
    Между прочем, я спросил своих знакомых, кто купил эту игру и оказалось, о ужас, из 7 человек, ни кто до конца не дошел! Очень интересная игра!
    Господа разработчики, может скоро, вы будете делать сюжетные, однопользовательские игры длиной в 1000 часов, их будут хвалить, может даже высоко оценивать, но никто не сможет пройти их до конца. Вам это надо?
    Игру я удалил, но вспомнил о ней через года полтора. Дай думаю на свежую голову допройду, может быть. Но каково же было моё удивления когда я не смог найти ни одного активного задания! Где их брать и, что делать я вспомнить не мог. Поэтому, побегав по городу часа два, я удалил игру и, думаю, уже окончательно, к сожалению!
    СКУЧНО!!!

    An excellent remake of an outstanding game that doesn't merely come with cosmetic improvements. What does it mean? You certainly need to have this piece at home, even if you have the original version. [Issue#248]
