    Not enough new content to merit full new-game price.

    Rockstar could have offered a discount for people who already bought this the first time it was launched for the full $60 dollar price tag, but decided not to. Other companies have offered deals with new-gen launches where you could get the new platform edition for $10, Rockstar did not offer this. Still no heist mode in

    Still no heist mode in multiplayer, it was supposed to be added a month after the first release and they never did it.

    Again you really shouldn't buy this if you already played through GTA V on another system, it isn't worth paying full price all over again for what is essentially the same product you bought before. They didn't even TRY to make this an expanded edition, it is just a re-skin with maybe 5 bucks worth of DLC tacked on.

    Grand Theft Auto 5 is a very good and fun sand box game that allows you to roam the world freely.
    Steal cars,boats,bikes, helicopters and planes, steal money or shoot down everyone you see and having the cops chase after you is fun. But i feel that that it is more fun than follow the story.

    When i play a story mission i drive a car from point A to point B, and then i watch a cutscene, then i drive to another location so i can watch another cutscene. The sandbox simulation of game is more of a game than the actual game. If i want to watch a movie than i go watch a movie. GTA for me has allways been like. you steal a car, you run over a bunch of people, you get stars so the cops will come after you, you try to do everything in your power to not get killed or busted. Thats it! the story does not matter. GTA is fun when you feel that you want to mess with stuff. GTA V is just like every GTA game ever made.

    It's the same ol' GTA5 we all know and love (or hate) with a few new features/improvements thrown in. The most notable new feature is the first-person perspective mode which is very entertaining. But to be honest, the first-person mode doesn't have controls as tight as a standard FPS....it's more of a bonus than a selling point for the game. I also must admit I've yet to

But to be honest, the first-person mode doesn't have controls as tight as a standard FPS....it's more of a bonus than a selling point for the game. I also must admit I've yet to play the online mode of this particular port of GTA5, so if it sucks or is laggy I wouldn't know.

    The graphics are considerably better than previous-gen versions of this game, but there is still some noticeable pop-up and pop-in from time to time. Which has been an ongoing thing with pretty much every GTA game since GTAIII, so most GTA fans won't care. Also, any people who have already decided they don't like the GTA series based on the gameplay and somewhat repetitive nature of the missions will NOT be won over by this game.

    However, I still recommend this game if you do love the series and want to play the best incarnation of it yet. Especially if you never played it on previous-gen consoles.

    Grand Theft Auto 5 (Remastered), like the original on PS3, is a brilliant and phenomenal game. It contains everything the former game had, and so much more.

    Grand Theft Auto 5 (Remastered), like the original on PS3, is a brilliant and phenomenal game. It contains everything the former game had, and so much more.

    PROS:

    ~The new features such as First-Person mode, the added population density, fauna, and animals make Los Santos more in-depth and immersive than ever. I very much enjoy the added animations and skins added for first person mode, such as new cell phone animations and vehicle interiors (that include working speedometer, tachometer, radio screen, etc)
    ~The online mode has been improved and has a lot of substance to it. I enjoyed designing my character and playing online with a friend. It is very immersive, almost like another complete game in its own
    ~The graphic and physics/movements are extremely crisp and vivid. Characters in cutscenes look life-like.
    ~The lighting is very well done - the way sunlight reflects off buildings and the way streetlights reflect off of rain puddles is amazing
    ~Added some cars and guns to the already large selection
    ~Rockstar Social Club allows you to design some cool stuff for your online "Crew".
    ~Vehicle damage seems to have gotten even more accurate and in-depth
    ~A large amount of new material, overall. Not just a rehash and re-release

    CONS:

    ~In first person mode while in a car, the rearview and sideview mirrors do not work correctly. They look blurry and distorted
    ~I have noticed very slight texture pop-in on some buildings while driving (probably happened twice in 10 hours of gameplay)
    ~You are required to complete the GTA Online Tutorial before you are allowed to invite friends or join up with friends online. So, if you click "SKIP", you will be forced to delete your character and re-create him/her. (Could not find any way to re-do the tutorial)

    Overall, I would recommend this game, even if you have already played it on the previous generation of systems. GTA V is a masterpiece of a game, and with this remastered version, Rockstar has made it even better somehow.

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

    What are you getting? Well of course there are the enhanced visuals, the added missions and extra players in multiplayer (when it works mind you) - but there are so many little things. The cars all sound a bit different, some quite a lot so in fact... they sound a bit more real. The extra songs on all of the radio stations are a nice touch and being able to see the INSANE level of detail in first person mode is frankly worthy of buying the game.

    Everything just feels in a way, how it should have, on last gen - it feels right. Nothing has changed with the story or the characters from what you would have played last gen. It is a really nice touch to be able to import your multiplayer character from any platform (I came from X360) and the added character detail really help - it showed just how freaky my character actually looked.

    Really there is not a lot more to say. The negatives? Well if I had to nit pick - it is the same game just better.., and now and then the frame rate dips a tad.... oh and it annoys me that I cannot set my default car view to 3rd person and my walking to 1st.... but perhaps I have missed something.

    At the end of the day - if you want a fantastic open world on new gen to lose yourself in, get this. You will not regret it.

    The PS4 boosts the best graphics for GTA V. Obviously the buying reasons are less if you already owned an XB0X 360 or PS3 copy but that's logical and not a good reason to downrate it. No doubt bound to be one of the must have PS4 games until GTA VI hits the shelves.

    Anyone who gives this game a 10/10 is either insane, is being paid by Rockstar, is about 12 years old or has never played any other game before. It is without doubt the most disappointing game of all time and a 6/10 at absolute best and the scores the 'critics' have given it just proves the fact that they are not worth reading.

    Good - Not very much, but the 3 characters are well

It is without doubt the most disappointing game of all time and a 6/10 at absolute best and the scores the 'critics' have given it just proves the fact that they are not worth reading.

    Good - Not very much, but the 3 characters are well designed and the map itself is adequate in size. The overall gameplay is solid and there is definitely some fun to be had with some of the set piece missions standing out in particular.

    Bad - Where to start? No ambient hiests, severe, almost criminal lack of interiors, no character progression, development or empire building of any kind, unable to buy houses, unable to enter owned businesses (lack of interiors!), awful, awful story, only around 30% of the map is actually used for anything useful, the frined 'like' % has been ditched so doing any activity with any other character is pointless, the girlfriend system is awful, unfinished concepts (Trevors meth business) and in general just terrible design decisions everywhere. There is a total lack of anything meanignful to do in this game; I mean ist all well and good being able to play golf but where are things like dealing etc that can be used to run a criminal empire?

    Verdict - The most overrated, overhyped game ever made which is a shame because it could, and should have been great. If you like driving around aimlessly with the option to play a pointless minigame this could be the game for you. If you have a brain though, you will be left bitterly disappointed by an average game thats a 6/10 (generous) and one of the worst games in the GTa series, FACT.

In some cases, such as diving out of a car, exiting a vehicle that has been submerged or getting hit by a car, this can be disorienting, but that is part of what makes first person realistic. the textures are awesome, the damage to the vehicles, the inside of the vehicles, the clothing, the cracks in the streets, the thugs standing on the corner smoking cigarettes and following you with their gaze over the tops of their sunglasses as you walk by. Gives a whole new meaning to constantly looking over your shoulder in a game. The game is hands down amazing - sure the aiming is a little rough but you really need to adjust the controls to make it a little more like ghost recon or whatever. Expand

    Anyway wow. The game is great. I cant believe it but there is some great graphical improvements over the first. The water looks amazing and they definitely sharpened some smaller details. I think these small things certainly make the already great game even better.
    Another small thing that is small but makes the experience more enjoyable is the Dual-shock 4 features, from flashing rend and blue during cop chases to police radios and phone calls coming through your controller. I love it, sometimes it make you jump and say what the f*ck when you are playing but whatever.

    The new first person feature is pretty cool, to me its nothing amazing. It is not bad for gun fights or just walking around although there are some minor bugs that could be patched. Driving cars on the other hand is nearly impossible. There is little to almost no way of keeping the car somewhat on the road. They should also make the side mirrors reflect everything behind you. It would make it easier to drive and add realism.
    One thing they did really well was the focus during gun fights. the graphics look really cinematic in first person and the zoom ability to be able to look down iron sights adds to it greatly.
    Although I do not love this feature it is okay, it does not make or break the game for me and it shouldn't for you. I mostly don't like it and don't mind not using it because I am used to GTA being third person along with all other games similar.

    As far is the story goes, I like it. Unlike the other reviews here saying its horrible and you cannot follow it, you can. It is not hard to follow at all... It isn't anything gripping or amazing it is meant to be more entertaining and that it is. I laughed my ass off a few times already and i'm sure ill have many more laughs to come especially online with my friends. Oh and lets be honest, I do not play the game for the story I play it to cause mayhem and make the experience great for myself and I am sure i'm not the only one. So make the best of the game think of things you can do to make it great.

    As far as online goes I am yet to play it on PS4. I will today with my buddy and ill be sure to update everyone.

    Overall the game is amazing and it packs a lot of fun in a small package. Solo is great with or without the story. Graphics are improved. Some small bugs but nothing major. I would recommend the game to anyone. It gets two thumbs up from me. I will be doing a video review soon on my channel in about 4-5 days so I get more gameplay and footage. My channel is the same as my name here.

    This is my first review here on meta critic based on my first impressions of the game.

To be completely honestThis is my first review here on meta critic based on my first impressions of the game. I have enjoyed what i have played so far of the Main story but switching between the characters interrupts the story and makes it less interesting and enjoyable to me especially when it forces me to play as characters I have no interest in to progress further in the story. To be completely honest though the reason I gave this a bad review is almost entirely the online multiplayer aspect of the game. GTA 5's Online game play is a joke when it even works! Trying to play with an open server i suffered through constant network errors and disconnects until finally getting it to work somewhat reliably in a private game with some friends. GTA V online is purely designed as a cheap cash grab gimmick. it lets you steal and test drive any available car in the game but if you want to permanently own most of the nicer more expensive cars you have to spend large sums of in game money to purchase them from a web app on your in game phone. In order to make the money you can do in game missions which take you to separate instances away from the main online server OR you can spend real money to buy in game cash. If you find a really nice car you like driving and you load into a mission instance the car disappears and you have to go find it again elsewhere which i suspect is an intentional aspect of the game to trick people into spending more real money so they can keep the car without loosing it. If you think about it the sole purpose of the missions is to grind for money so that you can buy the cars in the game so spending real money to buy the cars defeats the purpose of playing the online multiplayer at all. The missions instances employ unnecessary and annoying loading screens and menu navigation. The last GTA game i played and enjoyed was San Andreas where you could do missions like Vigilante by just hopping in a police car and then driving around chasing down criminals. I loved that, not this mission hub garbage. In the 4-5 hour span of time i played i only tried one race mission but it didn't let me use my car, instead it forced me to use a preselected car for the race / track that was the same care the other people racing with me had to use. If you are going to buy this game buy it for the story but save your money and don't buy into the online multiplayer gimmick. If your looking for a fun game to play with your friends look elsewhere.

    Probably my expectations were too high. Yes the graphics are great, the world is big, the missions are varied and more interesting than in previous GTA's, but somehow I didn't feel like I cared much. Maybe the guys were all too much **** maybe some of the voices and swearing was too purile, but the game for me was just not that enjoyable to play. And buying properties seemed pointless.

    STORY: Not as good or engaging as the GTA 3 series or GTA 4. The fact you can rotate between three characters is really neat, but depersonalizes the experience and I don't feel as invested in three characters as I felt invested in Tommy, CJ, or Niko. Aside from that, it's what you've come to expect from a GTA game. Drugs, sex, money, violence.

    GAMEPLAY: Nothing different here; the same ol' GTA formula, with a plethora of somewhat entertaining minigames. Things are upgraded, a version of the skill system is back in, but not as nitpicky and precise as getting fat with CJ in San Andreas. There's a nice attention to detail with how the world works, and does have a few improvements to the sometimes Stupid AI. The First-Person Mode is a gimmick feature. This isn't a FPS, and it doesn't handle like one.

    GRAPHICS: A step up from the last generation, and almost on par with the PC version. The game looks really nice, but there is a noticeable drop in framerates on the console. Why they couldn't make it a 60fps release like many other re-released games (Dark Souls II) is beyond me.

    ONLINE: Hit or miss. It was a fun gimmick to try out, but hearing a 13 year old cuss you out after he's mowed you over with his chrome-plated trumpet-blaring bulletproof Urban Assault Vehicle while you're trying to figure out how the hell to get money with a generic 9mm pistol isn't the best experience. Leveling is a grind of fetch quests based on some of the single-player missions and get boring after a while. I would only recommend Heists (the complicated, difficult missions online) with a crew you know; otherwise, you'll be frustrated when some punk screws it up and fails the mission. The load times are awful, and the connection issues are noticeable when you have to wait another minute to get out of your empty Lobby.

    Grand Theft Auto 5 is a masterpiece. This new version for the new generation isn't a copy of what we saw in the last generation. Rockstar made many improvements, the graphics are amazing and Los Santos have many new details making Los Santos a living city.

    Same thing as the ps3 version, which is to say: An empty boring game. People could sit here emotionless and list all the "features" of the game they want, theirs just 1 problem: none of it is any fun to do. GTA 4 was better... period.

    GTA is in league of its own. Sheer size of this game is mind blowing. The city is huge. Everything and anything is interactive. Anything that you see in the game you can go and visit. I cannot think of another game that is that impressive. PS4 graphics are beautiful. City looks great in the morning, at night,. All these negative reviews. Get a life.

    You are likely to either find it very nice or heavily dislike it after a short while. The question is mainly if this is your first encounter with gta or if you already played the older games. In case its your first time, youll be amazed by the irony, the free world and all the rest - buy it. But if you know the older games theres pretty much no way you will enjoy

In case its your first time, youll be amazed by the irony, the free world and all the rest - buy it. But if you know the older games theres pretty much no way you will enjoy the game for more than, say 30 hrs of gameplay. Singeplayer: The Characters are in some way cool but more like CSI guy cool - superficial, dumb, stilted. You wont ever care for them, especially for Franklin, hes plain boring and pointless. The story is okay in the beginning and than turns to extreme stupidity. I had more than one wtf and facepalm moment. The world in general is as said ok but not as good as the predecessors. What happend to car physics. You can now carry as many guns as you want, but as the guns are just upgrades you can throw away 20 of 30 guns (not literally). Most of the map is pointless nothing and the city offers less than ever. Side activities often lead to new hights of boredom. Like riding around in a slow submarine for hours or doing the easiest "quick" time events in yoga.
    Now to the multiplayer: You dont ever say anythhing but thats no problem as theres no story. Everyone looks almost the same and everyone will drive the same (the fastest) car. The missions are 90% kill/retrieve with alway the same cutscenes for certain questgivers. I personally disliked races a lot due to the horrible physics, graphics and the lack of speed. Even the bugatti feels very slow whilst the average traffic drives with nearly walking pace. Tdm and the story missions used to be my favourite aspects of the gta4 multiplayer. As said theres no story this time and due to bad mechanics tdm cant get quite as good. But this tdm is massive garbage. New players come to a game with 25% maxhealth and a pistol. On the other hand more advanced players can buy radar for ingame money and usually have the strongest rifles with unlimited ammo and additional silencers. WHAT THE **** this is in no way excuseable. The game is designed just around the idea of the player buying all the nice stuff ingame. But this is only possible through either playing this **** game for hundreds of hours or buying ingame money with real money. A good example for this that in free roam - usually the main playground in gta - you constantly burn money trough dying, destroing cars and shooting your ammo. Or simple clothing like a black shirt n trousers outfit priced at 50k. A 500k sharkcard is 10$. So 1$ for this one ulgy, pointless outfit out of like 30. A maximum tuned out top car costs about 2 mil. - thats 50$ for the 3,5 mil sharkcard. But hey you got 1,5 mil for other stuff. Likely the next update will just bring a better car wich you should buy then. Now lets make thia point more obvious on the military vehicles. You just bought the only attack heli in the game the "buzzard" for 1,75 mill (bout 25$), but its okay cause now youre the king in town... but the last update brought the 2 mill savage heli wich is much better. Now theres even a jet for 3 mil and an amored car for over 1 mil. So you DEFINATELY would have to buy atleast one 99$ 8mil shark card to get the full gaming content. RIDICULOUS pay to win right here. I wouldnt even play it agian if it were free to play. This used to be the best gaming series, now I appeal to everyone who made it this far to boycott R*s new politics and therefore this game

    I don't know why I keep playing GTA games when I don't like them. I guess I feel like I need to be part of the gaming zeitgeist. This one doubles down on boring crap you need to do and lots of time travelling to different missions with probably the lamest radio yet. There is cool stuff but just too much filler. I have better games to play than doing virtual yoga. Not for me.

    I've completed many open world games like Mafia 1-3, Sleeping Dogs, Watch Dogs, but never a single GTA (3,4 and now 5). This is the last straw. The only reason i played this is cos of the hype, as it's always in the top 10 best sellers, and a lot of people are raving about it. Wanted to know what the hype is and after playing almost halfway, I just don't get it.

    Things I didn't like:

Wanted to know what the hype is and after playing almost halfway, I just don't get it.

    Things I didn't like:
    1. Horrible gunplay. Aiming is a chore (i turned off aim assist as i always do in all shooters), damage seems to be unrealistic, i'm almost invulnerable. One shot kills are so easy. Didnt feel satisfying at all, not like Doom or Destiny or even Mafia 3.

    2. I do A LOT of driving, which is the most tiring and annoying thing cos i gotta keep looking at the mini radar all the time for directions, and at high speed, its very straining to the eyes after some time. Watch dogs has a blue line on the road, and Mafia 3 has arrow directions on the road.

    3. Extremely boring and inane missions. One had me doing YOGA. Another had me pick up containers using forklifts and cranes. Another had me pick up weed. Just excruciatingly boring stuff. That crane thing though, was the deal breaker for me. I immediately deleted it from my ps4 and wrote this review.

    4. Over the top, annoying characters. I didnt like any one of the characters. Franklin seems too caricatured, and i just watched straight outta compton recently and it seems that by putting in swear words in every single dialog for franklin supposedly makes the game more mature and adult and real/authentic. To me, its just too much. I dont even remember compton being as crass sounding as this. Very amateurish.

    Trevor is just crazy. I dont like to play as a crazy/psychotic character. Feels...off, and disturbing. I play games to feel good and have a good time. But Trevor's missions and sidemissions are too sick, dark and very disturbing. If that's the goal of the developers, then they've certainly achieved that effect.

    All these resulted in a comple slog through the 10-20 hrs i spent on the game before calling it quits. Gonna trade this in. And thats the only good thing about it to me.

    PROS: Still has a high trade in value (currently $18). Bought it for $29.99 so a loss of $12 to try out this overhyped garbage.

    The singleplayer is so bad, the plot is so confusing. It feels like Rockstar put non-heist missions in there just to distract you untill you come to the heists. The missions are so boring and doesn't represent what the Grand Theft Auto series is truly about. Seriously, you do yoga, have a god damn family therapy meeting that lasts for 10 minutes (Real time). You can't make this stuff up, ladies and gentlemen. Almost none of these missions are memorable. The only ones that felt memorable was the heist missions (Which there are only 4-5 of).

    The mutliplayer is basically P2W. You want a gun or a car but you can't afford it? Well just complete the same mission 10-15 times. OR! Spend real money to get a virtual car that another player will blow up! As I said, the missions are so repetitive. Again, it just feels like filler untill they could get the Heist DLC out.

    Rockstar just threw everything that made the previous GTA games to memorable out the window. Let's talk about them now.

    1. The wanted system: The wanted systems in GTA games has alwes had 6 wanted levels, this one just has 5... for some reason. In previous games you didn't get a wanted level everytime you steal a car. Hell, even if you stand near someone they'll call the cops! It doesn't make any sense!

    2. The controls: The controls in GTA games haven't alwes been the best. But this takes it to the next level. How Rockstar managed to screw up the controls is beyond me. From simply walking on the street to flying a plane. The controls alwes manages to feel bad.

    3. The open world: GTA has alwes had an impressive open world. From Vice City to San Andreas the maps were HUGE! This one is so small, you could drive around the entire map in maybe 10-15 minutes. Yet the developes keep saying GTA 5's map is bigger than the previous games. No, not at all.

    But hey, the game has free DLCs (Hows that singleplayer DLC coming along, Rockstar?), and first person. So I guess that means it's a perfect game, right?

Way to go, screwing you're own games, maybe rockstar should consider selling out to blizzard or activision.

    The characters are not funny, they suck in basic. Trevor, the only interesting psychopathic loony in the game doesn't stay on character enough when it matters. Micheal and the other **** puppet are just lame and weak.

They've just stripped out the things that make the game cool and replaced it with more eye candy for the general moron public. $$$.

The 1080p resolution makes a noticeable difference on its own. The jaggie edges etc from last gen have gone and everything looks crisp and clear. Then i noticed how much more vibrant it is compared to last gen. The colours pop more and the lighting effects are way better. The next thing i noticed was the level of detail has increased. Its lots of small details that add up to a big change. For instance. The cars are now shiny and reflect light. They are also more detailed. You can see more detail in break lights and such. Even chrome wheels look chrome and reflect light. Road surfaces etc have more detail in the way of cracks, moss, dirt etc. Its all had a texture bump to look more realistic. There is now more litter laying and even blowing around the game world. Plastic bags and things blow around. There is also bits of foliage and other debris blowing around all the time. It makes the whole game world feel more alive. The foliage system has been increased dramatically right across the game world. There are now more trees, flowers, grass and such. Some of the trees and foliage is the same as previous gen but with bumped up textures, but then there are a lot of new trees and foliage too. It looks great. Water has had a texture increase and now seems to be a bit more erratic in places. The waves seem more wild and the crash and splash against rocks is now more so. The rain effects have seen quite a drastic change. It looks much more realistic and even floods the game world by leaving puddles all over. And thanks to the new lighting system, lights, fire etc cast reflections in the puddles and ocean. You can even see rain droplets in the ocean. It looks very impressive and is probably the most drastic change of all. There are now more cars than ever before. Even cars from previous GTAIV and Episodes From Liberty City have been added, plus lots of new ones. The traffic has also been increased, but not so much it makes it difficult to get around. Its just about right. There is now an in car view too. Each car has its own in car dashboard view and interior. Some have gages, and some have digitial gages. It even shows the radio station and the name of the song that you are listening to on the radio. They even light up. It all looks great, but just don't expect the same level of detail as say Forza or Project Gotham Racing. You can see gages, lights, text on the radio, leather effect seats etc in clear detail though. There is also a first person view which makes it a whole different game. You can aim down the sites of your guns in different ways, roll, cover, everything. It makes for a new GTA experience. Personally i only really use the first person mode while driving and stay in 3rd person when out of the car. But you can do as you please. So its nice to have all the extra options. Character models, especially the main characters, all have a new level of detail and look even better than before. You can see scars, hairs, pigmentation and wrinkles in the skin. It makes them feel more alive. There are also more animals and insects than before. From cats, dolphins, moths, killer whales, hammer head sharks and more. Even older animals like dogs have been increased. Pedestrian numbers have also been increased. There are now more with more variety. AI of pedestrians has been increased too. They will try and steal your car and all sorts. Sounds have also seen a big increase and make the whole thing feel more alive and realistic. And 100 more songs have been added, as has new radio chatter. Damage to cars has also been upgraded a bit. I'm sure there is more that i've missed. The only problem i have with this game is that the story and missions are the worst in the GTA franchise. As a technical achievement it is a 10/10. But because of the story and missions i give it an 8. Expand

    First person is a really cool addition, but you'll still be experiencing the same missions and locations just from a different perspective. There a few small reasons to pick it up though, new animals roam the wilderness and oceans, a few new missions and sidequests are available, along with new weapons and vehicles that you can use.

    Multiplayer is very much the same, with the only improvement being the player count. 16 people was trouble enough but now you'll have to deal with 30 other sticky bomb throwing a**holes, which should create some interesting scenarios, especially because the same player count is available in races and deathmatches.

    Overall it's very much the same as the original, with a few new cool gimmicks and additions, although i still feel there a obvious things missing that would make GTA V the complete package. None the less a great game and a good purchase to make if you've ran out of things to play on your new system.

    But if you were going to buy this re-release for the long forgotten heist's....... you'll be disappointed.

    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

    GTAV is the best game I've played on the PS4 so far. Why? Well everybody knows what this game is. It's an open-world sandbox game filled with so many activities and is not afraid of letting you do what you want to do.

You can go anywhere and do whatever you like unlike many other games that claim to be open-world but really aren't such as The Witcher 3, Dragon Age, MGSV etc...

    I didn't bother with the single player mode because it somehow feels heavily scripted and linear, which I feel confining and restrictive in an open-world game. If this was a single player only game this will score very low. The 3 characters are unlikable and you can't relate to any of them let alone care about their lives and story. Spent about 2 hours and gave up. Jumped straight into online mode. And omg online mode where the game shines.

    You create your character and basically do activities to earn money to buy cars, apartments, clothing among other stuff. There's lots of missions available, or activities such as team deathmatch, races, capture the flag and many more. You also have heists, vip activities etc. Now imagine all this activities being played out with other actual online players and friends. That's the beauty of it. Or if you like, just mess around in freeroam in 30-player lobbies (which is what I like to do with my friends).

    The online mode is being updated on a regular basis and you get new stuff to buy or new activities as time goes by. So much to say but I think you get the overall picture. It's an awesome game and I'm having a blast playing it almost every night. Rockstar, GTA6 doesn't need story mode, just focus on online and give us an even more epic awesome online game EVERRR!!!!!! Perfect score (based on online play) 10 out of 10. Bravo!!

Its really big game.

    Graphics, sound and presentation are superb.

    The story mode starts really well, but gets repetitive after a while. Pace is a problem, since there are so many different plots, and the game don't let you choose where you will focus your attention. Its not easy to get involved in what is going on.

    Some of the games controls are also problematic, specially when we talk about airplanes and helicopters, sometimes you will spend a good amount of time trying to not crash your plane while landing. Gun fights rely heavily on auto aim.

    Online mode is pointless and is a stripped down version of the whole thing.

    Despite pace problems with the main story, Trevor, Franklin and Michael are easily one of the most remarkable characters ever seen in a video game, even if you don't like some of them.

    Rockstar games also deserves credits for creating truly new experience on PS4. The new graphics are more than just better textures. Its unbelievable how detailed this world is. PS4 is yet to see a better looking game.

    The addition of new Vehicles,Guns and Songs also keeps you interested if you already played hours of GTA5 on PS3/360.
    Grand Theft Auto Online on the other hand has been difficult and frustrating, lots of time spent in loading screens and disconnecting from friends/Jobs. Many people have been unable to even play GTA:Online and the methods of fixing the problem is well over the head of an average gamer and need to be address by Rockstar.
    Altogether GTA 5 is just as good when it was on last gen, put aside the technical issues that hopefully are fixed soon and you have an extremely fun and enjoyable game.

The core gameplay (although much more refined in later versions) is very much the same as ever. This is the main problem with GTA these days. Apart from the odd spike (in gameplay) it suffers from being far to familiar in the gameplay department. Drive from dot to dot in order to advance story. Repeat. Great production but time for Rockstar to stop repeatedly polishing the franchise before it becomes a turd. Expand

    It is so much more than just run and gun waves of cops. You can do that, but there is much more interaction with the world that can't be seen in other games. There is detail in every place you go, and on next gen it adds even more detail. This game is worth a buy at full retail price.
