    Juego del 2013 explotadísimo, con una historia que se ha pasado (un mínimo de 3 veces) todo el mundo que lo haya tenido desde su salida. Las carreteras se las sabe todo Dios de memoria, los coches nuevos que sacan son los mismos de siempre pero con otro nombre y el Online es la mayor basura que existe en este mundo.

    Singleplayer is okay but no anything like GTA Vice City and San Andreas and the movements are too slow and bad. No fun cheat codes and can't train or control npcs. Not as good characters as San Andreas or Vice City. Online is fun to play with friends but too expensive and forced what you need to. The phone keeps ringing telling me to buy this and that.

No mission or building in online makes enough to buy good vehicles or items. Online missions are too long and frustrating to complete. It's all about buying shark cards. They only make the game good quality. GTA is missing some good content instead of doing boring tasks. Expand

    Yes,this is funny game,It ,certainly, has well-made open world and some interesting characters ,but ,to be frankly,i do not like it as Vice City or San Andreas.GTA V is very common game with weak plot and main characters ,these missions are very ugly and monotonous .

    A classical and distinct open world gangster experience that is never-ending

    The story mode is interesting and the online mode Is as well as the story mode.
    The map Is made for a multiplayer game, there are a lot of spot for playing whit enemies.
    But...
    YOU CAN'T WAIT FOR 7 F****** MINUTES FOR AN ONLINE MATCH.
    ROCKSTAR!? WHAT THE HELL!?

    GTA 5 is arguably the best GTA in the series. The 3 main characters are all different and appealing in one way or another. The location is great.

    Rockstar strikes again! 7 years after initial release and my first playthrough, I gave this thing another go. And boy, does it hold up! Here are a few thoughts:

    Graphics: 10/10
    Like most Rockstar titles, GTA V was way ahead of its time. In 2020, you might notice a couple "nitpicky" things regarding the graphics. But that's only because we have 7 years of newer games that have only improved our standards. However, it holds up beautifully and the atmosphere is so unique that it can go toe to toe with any other video game out there.

    Narrative: 10/10
    It's excellently crafted and about as engaging as it gets. The pacing is steady and we get several flashes of writer's-room-brilliance throughout the story. And not to mention some very strong comedic elements that make it just that much better. A+ from start to finish.

    Protagonists: 10/10
    The use of 3 playable characters is a great addition to the series. Each one of them having a completely different personality and style makes for some terrific gameplay. I loved having a certain style for Franklin's outfits and cars, and then a completely different style for Michael and Trevor, respectively. Also, there's nothing better than the little cut scenes when you switch to Trevor and see what he's up to.

    Characters/Interactions: 9.5/10
    I love the dynamic between Michael and his family. I love Trevor's f****d up relationships. I LOVE Lamar, who is one of the funniest characters in the entire video game universe. All of it lands really well for me. The reason I don't give this a 10/10 (and I admit, this is TOTALLY unreasonable) but after playing this in 2020 after RDR2, I want to be able to talk to strangers! One of my favorite parts of RDR2 was just walking around town and greeting/antagonizing random people. So much so, that sometimes out of habit I'd press L2 while playing GTA to bring up the greeting options, only to be disappointed. I get it, yes this is totally unfair complaint since this game came out 5 years before RDR2, but what can I say? My standards have been raised!! Lol

    Gameplay: 10/10
    I don't think I need to explain myself here. Just play for 1 hour and see if you want to set the controller down.

    GTA V remains a pillar of the video game realm that will stand tall for many years to come. But please, Rockstar, give us GTA VI soon!!

    Overall score: 9.8/10

    IMO a pretty overrated game. The story is good, nothing too original though, classic Rockstar plot.
    The online is a disaster. Costant waiting times and slow lobbies, just to get blown up after 5 minutes by a guy on a flying bike. Also i HATE the races. They are the opposite of fun, I don't get how that mode got so popular when the driving mechanics are absolute dogsh*t.

    Also it is populated by 8 year old ret*rds, so doing the heists with randos is impossible, there's always that one moron crashing the plane or griefing. I wish I could do them in single player because they are very good missions, but require wayy to much coop for such a noob-friendly game.

    The best part is the open word and how much it's detailed. The graphics were very good back in the days, but now look generic.

    Mediocre game, mediocre story, serious input lag for everything, boring map, pointless torture scene, unlikeable characters, poor controls. Could literally go on for hours just listing issues and problems with the game, because they never cease.

    Had a good time. Good story and fun to play. I've played Vice City and San Andreas and V was better in just about every way. Was disappointed to see things like the ambulance missions and vigilante missions not be in this one. Not that there's a lacking of things to do, it's just that those side missions were a staple of the franchise. The game is also a bit too easy. There's no difficultHad a good time.

    GTA 5 has an amazing gameplay that can give you hours of fun. Story-wise, I found it quite hard to get immersed.

    3 great protagonists; 1 immersive, beautiful, disgusting, amazing, brutal world. Straight up bonkers action in a game that still has no equal in 2020.

    It's GTA, do I even need to write a review. It's pure fun. The story isn't perfect but it's good. The characters are funny, deep, and likeable. The driving is better than it is in GTA IV. The game also noticably less serious then the other GTAs. This is a good thing and a bad thing. It is good because it lets the game be absord, hilarious, and focus on fun more then anything else.It's GTA, do I even need to write a review. It's pure fun. The story isn't perfect but it's good.

    Для меня важен сюжет, драматургия, а из за отсутствия перевода (субтитры не в счет ) сюжет отсутствует. Картинка веселая (детская) поэтому в серьез не воспринимается. ГТА4 мне нравится больше со своей физикой, динамикой, серьезностью. Чувствовался криминал. GTA5 Игра десонанс, в которой веселье и смерть и они никак не сочетаются.Для меня важен сюжет, драматургия, а из за отсутствия перевода (субтитры не в счет ) сюжет отсутствует.

    Buena narrativa y buenas misiones secundarias(la mayoría) . La parte online está bien cuidada. Lo único malo es que hay misiones secundarias demasiado largas y mal construidas narrativamente.
    Pd: Harto de que lo saquen cada generación.

    I don't bother with online and so felt that anything promising for the single player game got ditched. Multiple characters bugged me as did changing their clothes all the time. Rockstar seem to be taking steps backwards from San Andreas despite the graphical advances

    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]
