    Game truthfully isn't worthy all the hype. The story is not intriguing in any which way, and the Online mode is simply not useable. Since the game has been out, I have spent 2/3rd of my time in online mode simply attempting to connect with my friends. Whenever I finally do get in a game with them (rare occasion) I usually time -out quickly after. Shooting without the Aim Sight on isGame truthfully isn't worthy all the hype.

Whenever I finally do get in a game with them (rare occasion) I usually time -out quickly after. Shooting without the Aim Sight on is extremely difficult, but shooting with it on gives the game no point from the shooting aspect. The driving part of the game, although decent, is not enough to make the game worthy of $60 and the graphics are not enough of an upgrade to make one switch from Ps3 to Ps4. First Person mode is simply incompetent. All in all, overly hyped and overly rated. Expand

    GTA V was an alright-ish game. It had an average story without any interesting plot twists. The graphics was also good enough. The characters were generally as expected, however the psychopath was somewhat interesting. This is the only reason the score is as high as 5. I think they tried to do too many things and ended up with a vanilla experience that is nothing special.

    Other things worth mentioning:
    * It is very repetitive.
    * You have to drive everywhere. I do too much of that in real life as it is. We should be able to call a cab ... but wait, there is a cab calling function. Too bad I only found out about it after searching google for a fast travel option. Therefore I had to subtract some points for wasted effort.

    The main drawback with making a completely open-world game is that you cannot handcraft everything in the game. This causes it to become repetitive. I am starting to miss the "bad old days" with it's linear game play

    This game has no progression, and while it is just an amazing game, both graphically and shear size, I found myself dreading playing every minute of it. It didn't feel I was getting anywhere. Money was in high scarcity, and it seemed like even the more mundane stuff was worth nil. I only played the single player, and honestly, the game had nothing driving me to keep playing. No pay off.

I love Rockstar but the absolute wankers they have managing their online content are dragging the title through the dirt. **** Red Dead 2 pump some **** money back in to your biggest franchise or end up like EA and Ubisoft. Rockstars prestige is wearing very **** thin when you access online content only to face endless trolling, and server problems. I wish I could give a better review I wish online didn’t exist in this game as it only serves to destroy its reputation. If you want a 10/10 game avoid GTA online if you want a 5 out of 10 game go ahead and signup you’ll be bitterly disappointed. I’d rather have not have ever accessed the online content as it has only served to depreciate my love of Rockstar. It is safe to say I will be avoiding the online section of GTA 6 as I feel the benefit of ignorance far outweighs the cost of caring about GTA online only to be slapped in the face by a poor quality insult to the franchise. I’ve had more than enough server ejections and game play flaws online to categorically assert that GTA 5 online is a mess, should you have any doubt, try to access the heist missions you’ll understand, when you try and try to complete even the simplest of missions you’ll see the trolls, quitters and server problems I’m taking about.

    There are many things that are sublime about the game such as the fantastic graphics and sound, improving on many mechanics and technical aspects over the previous Grand Theft Auto, the various somewhat enjoyable activities and its culturally relevant satire.

    Where it all falls down was the story, soundtrack and gameplay. This game has the most uninteresting main characters out of all the Grand Theft Auto series. This is NOT a joke. I didn't like Michael, Franklin and Trevor at all.

    The gameplay and story was THE MOST boring out of all the beloved series. A massive emphasis on exploring the whole of Los Santos to uncover activities and buildings made the game boring. The stats system shouldn't have been brought back.

    The soundtrack is awful apart from Non-Stop Pop and Los Santos Rock Radio.

    Rockstar changed WAY too much of what the series was beloved and innovative for. The online was unbalanced as hell and modding makes the online mode so worthless. So many updates and new modes nearly every few months. The use of microtransactions wasn't needed at all as Grand Theft Auto 4 had massive multiplayer options and can use your money from Offline Mode.

    If you are a huge fan of the GTA franchise like I am, skip it and play something else.

    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!!!

    Grand Theft Auto 5 is a great looking game no doubt and the story best one so far, the issue as to why the game scores low is due to the horrible online experience as they slowly turn into a Saints Row esque type of gameplay. Flying bikes? Cannons? This is not Rockstar at all and I ended up quitting the game.

The story mode I found to be very enjoyable. I have replayed it multiple times because I just find it to be quite fun. However, the story mode is not what most people stay for, it's multiplayer. This is the part that can make this game extremely unenjoyable. Rockstar over the past 4 years ruined it. They started adding in things that did not fit the time period the game was set in like the oppresor bikes (flying motorcycles with lock-on missiles) or the deluxo (The DeLorean with lock-on misses which can also fly). There are still many things in GTA Online that don't fit the time period. Not only that, but many tryhards abuse these overpowered vehicles to wreak havoc on the servers. The balancing of these vehicles is horrible which is why many players want them removed or just have other public servers where they are not available to use. Also, Many Vehicles and properties are extremely overpriced with probably over half the vehicles being over 1 million dollars. This makes the game very grindy which is very tedious in the game. It forces you to spend many hours doing very repetitive and boring missions over and over again to afford 1 vehicle. The multiplayer can be fun, I still have some good memories of this game when I'm playing with my friends, but most of my memories of this game are me being attacked by its Gta online's toxic community. Moving on, the servers for the online are terrible, to say the least. I have lost count of how many times I have been disconnected from the server. Sometimes when I'm playing with my friends, it will be hard to do anything because often times one of us will disconnect before we have done anything. On many days I have disconnected from the online mode 4+ times. This can be infuriating because the load time to get into a server is usually 4-5 minutes IF you actually get into one. There has been a glitch where you can be waiting forever and it will not put you into a game which then forces you to restart the game. On bad days this can happen multiple times. Going onto glitches, they are rarely patched unless it is a money glitch. I have experienced bugs that have been in the game for YEARS that have still not been patched. Smaller problems I have with the game include the very janky walking/running controls, Online characters are completely silent and never talk, framerate is worse than many other open-world games, on PS4 it usually averages around 15 FPS. Amount of people you can invite to your CEO is only 4 players. Many vehicles are underpowered such as the B11-Strikeforce(A-10 Warthog). For some reason, kill/death ratio is in this game. This stat is completely useless as K/D really means nothing. Anyone that has a high K/D usually just kills defenceless new players over and over again. The combat system in this game is awful. The aim assist is way too strong, I have been shot out of my helicopter many times even when I'm flying fast because it's just that strong. I think that is most of my problems with the game. Overall, Grand Theft Auto 5 is fun in some areas, but severely flawed in many others which is why I give it what I would consider a generous score of 5/10. Expand

    So the game is a bit overrated, cannot grasp the uber-valued scores of all the so-called professionals.
    The graphics are good but don't make GTA V a new game. The first person view is quite nice feature which they adopted from the modding community. Still the game lacks the fantastic ideas of the series.

    Most annoying are the very few assets one can enter. So one gets the feeling being excluded from the game and restricted to the role of the audience.
    Los Santos is very small compared to it's predecessor. And the streets are limited by heaps of signs and barriers. While driving one gets the sensation of staying in a cage, like in a hamster wheel.
    Unfortunately there is only this one small city and some negligible estates. The whole map is encircled within less than a quarter of an hour. The countryside doesn't offer much.
    So all in all GTA V lacks the possibility to merge with the game. There is no way to develop your character.
    These 3 shallow guys have nothing like-able, the family of Michael is disgusting, Franklin boring, Trevor a psychopath.
    There are no restaurants like before, no gyms, no girlfriends, nearly no secrets to discover. Golf and Yoga is a bad joke. To value a game just by it's graphics would be too narrowly considered. The Grand Theft Auto series was already unbeatable though the graphics were low.
    Hopefully GTA VI will re-introduce a lot of walkable assets and the role play elements of the predecessors. Maybe a future DLC can give back GTA V some of the old spirit which made the series world-celebrated. The actual release should be called: GTA V - Remastered
