    I play gta on xbox one and I've never been so angry with a support (I didn't even need a support as much) as in this game.

    GTA often has a fun little world to play in, but the controls have always sucked, the loading is abysmal, & getting from the boring main game over to the Online mode is a chore.

    It's a sandbox for morons, & there are more idiots in the world than any others, hence the popularity.

    If you have an I.Q. over 75, this game will frustrate, & bore you

    The game is great for following the old school tradition of the GTA game line but online multiplayer is in the ditch. I have bought a half dozen or so disks to play with family spread throughout the country over the last six months. What a waste of money! We can't play a single session without one of us being kicked off the server. That is if we are lucky enough to even get on a session!.The game is great for following the old school tradition of the GTA game line but online multiplayer is in the ditch.

We can't play a single session without one of us being kicked off the server. That is if we are lucky enough to even get on a session!. Half of the missions that we start will end abruptly or the cops will interrupt due to the glitches in their system. Game saves are a joke. Most of the time rock-star servers are temporarily out of service. The system admin will say in their trouble shooting guide that it is your internet speeds or something to totally pass the buck, but running the tests confirming you have double their speed requirements and opening modem settings do nothing to resolve the fact that its their platform that is a piece of crap. My advice? Save your money if you want to play online with family! They charge way more than is necessary for in game cash and then you can't consistently even play the game without session hopping.

    Take Two and Rockstar threatened to sue a modder without good reason. This sort of toxic behavior should not be tolerated. Don't support them by giving them your money.

    This is very mediocre game and I can see now why it's rated very high - garbage for the mindless masses. As the movie would work great and because of the story (cut scenes) I kept playing. As the gameplay, it fails to deliver. Gameplay is mostly boring, repetitive and very easy. It may appeal to very casual play or if you want to play it "impaired" - it simply does not require to useThis is very mediocre game and I can see now why it's rated very high - garbage for the mindless masses.

    I apologize for being brutally honest - I really wanted to like this game, to see what others are raving about, however I would fall asleep if it wasn't for the story. I praise movement and driving mechanics. Overall: not recommended.

    Load times and slow gameplay ruin this game. Not to mention zero single player dlc for what was not the best single player gta experience. Online mode is a pure money grab via micro transactions, Everything they release in the so called DLC's is overpriced in an obvious attempt to sell a few shark cards. This game could of been so much better. Anyone that rates this game 10/10 is either onLoad times and slow gameplay ruin this game.

    Removing mods is the worst. Literally unplayable. So much hate coming their way now. They took a beloved game and absolutely ruined it by banning mods.

    Beautiful graphics and a wonderful engine and open world.
    But what about the story, game play and characters.
    Its so outdated and boring. It's so stereotype I'm falling asleep. What happened to the ladies in the first GTA for example? Please use your great game and engine and make something exciting and new! Please! It's like nintendo all over. Just the same game over and over.

    What the heck is wrong with GTA V? It has the longest load times ever. EVER. EVER. EVER. The campaign takes 4-6 minutes to load. Maybe longer. I stopped checking my watch. But I guess Rockstar felt that wasn’t long enough. The online component is worse. The load times are nearly long enough for me to have a pizza delivered to my home. But wait, it’s worse than that. The game constantlyWhat the heck is wrong with GTA V? It has the longest load times ever. EVER. EVER. EVER. The campaign takes 4-6 minutes to load. Maybe longer. I stopped checking my watch. But I guess Rockstar felt that wasn’t long enough. The online component is worse. The load times are nearly long enough for me to have a pizza delivered to my home. But wait, it’s worse than that. The game constantly disconnects from the servers. So now I gotta either wait another lunar month for the GTA V online to load, or throw it out the window. I chose the latter.

    The load times between individual online missions are so long, that the first time I played, I thought my Xbox froze. It’s frustrating. It’s garbage. It’s an absolute joke. And I don’t understand this because Max Payne 3 is pretty darn good.

    I’ll be the first to say that GTA V’s load times make it one of the worst gaming experiences of recent memory. I don’t plan on providing a full review, because I don’t want to spend 20 minutes of every hour waiting for crap to load. But my first impression of the game is this: It’s overrated and boring. I enjoyed GTA back in the PS2 days.

    Foremost, the controls are confusing. Sometimes players have to press “X” to open a door. Other times they have to press left on the D-pad. Huh? This explains the need for constant on screen prompts. For the longest time I couldn’t remember how to sit on a couch. Sounds funny but this shouldn’t happen to gamers. GTA V needs better controls. It needs predictable, consistent controls. As they are now the controls suck.

    Navigating the map is cumbersome. To access the map, I have to open the menus, then select the map so I can view it. Putting extra steps between players and the map is a bad idea.
    Aiming is terrible. Even during its early missions, GTA’s flawed gun mechanics were already pissing me off. Shooting while driving is a disaster. Players must use 5 buttons simultaneously to control their cars and shoot. It’s a complete spectacle that I don’t have the patience to endure.

    GTA V’s driving experience is merely average. All engines sound anemic. Cars handle OK. For a series entitled Grand Theft Auto, I expected the “Auto” part to rock. But it doesn’t. I can name plenty of other games that rival and even surpass GTA V in that department.

    All its problems point to fundamental quality oversights. A series this old shouldn’t suffer from freshman flaws. At its core, GTA V is an average game. Sure, GTA’s world has gotten bigger. But the controls suck. Driving is mediocre. Gunplay is just plain awful. And the multiplayer is broken. Rockstar’s developers have been handed too much credit. But gamers eagerly lap it up so they can live out their law breaking, sex-crazed, gun totting, raunchy fantasies. It’s that simple. Who cares if nothing else works so long as horny gamers can experience horribly animated prostitutes laughably simulating fellatio.

    Having not played a GTA game in nearly a decade, I can unreservedly say that I’m not impressed. Despite all the crap kicked at Watch Dogs, it’s a superior game. Watch dogs has better mechanics. Better visuals. Better story. Heck, even the driving is better. There is constantly stuff to do and NPC’s are definitely more lifelike. I’ll pass on GTA V. I’d rather play Watch Dogs, Saints Row, Just Cause 2, or the exquisite Forza 4.

    GTA V is the culmination of franchise fatigue, wrong priorities, and horrible optimization. The high marks are not merited. It just shows that critics and gamers alike will always have their favorite games and challengers will be criticized for the very flaws that are ignored in those favorites.

    This game features unlikeable character, unworkable shooting, clunky driving mechanics, and confusing quest mechanics. I believe the reason I disliked this game so much is that I played Watch Dogs which, while not perfect, is better in every conceivable way. 1 out of 10 for the box art.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ah So where do i begin . The #1 ClickBait on youtube game of all time . That not to mention is Super OVERRATED The only reason its a 97 is because of its sales and good story . Regardless the online pratically forces you to make purchases . If you are not working so hard that you have a MASSIVE headache. Yes a good game at first not after 5 years though yes i have played the story twice and i have 2 GTA Online Characters. The memes and stupid is ridicoulous . Yes this is a rant folks if you want a game with great replay ability Go Play Rockstar's Game Bully From 2006 . It did a Way better job and was Way more Interactive. This Game is just Full of Heist Setups A Betrayl Storyline A Bunch of Heist An Actor Storyline A dirtbag rich dude and his private military and sexual content thats not for your kids. Not only does it encourage killing raping and more but it also has cuss words in it. And encourages people to drink . You want to get rid of crime evaporate this game and its done. Still has a boatload of online glitches and mean players as well as trolls ingame voice chat and stupid **** Do not have your kid play this game. Expand

They also have perfect accuracy and can kill you with a pistol even if your over 1000 feet away in game. They even shoot you while behind solid non destructible cover! You can get shot by NPC's that are not shown on your screen which essentially means they are completely invisible and no i'm not talking about the ones that are suppose to go invisible. AI drivers are out to crash into you on certain jobs that require vehicle delivery that can't be damaged without penalty. Vehicle physics in general are very buggy. Loading times are very unreasonably long for even simple tasks. Also infinite loading screens too. There are lots of other game play bugs that I have not listed here. Now with Rock star itself. They are very greedy with micro transactions. They don't ban hackers that grief other normal players. Their employees manually kick players from session when they are doing some then important such as heists, jobs, and etc. They are obsessed with this boring player versus player crap that's more lame than chores. Now ending with other miscellaneous nonsense. Story mode is terrible and game play elements were implemented in the worst way possible. You can't own vehicles like you can in online which is dumb and any vehicles you store can disappear. There are lots of other things that I didn't list in this review. There are some good things in this game that are decent but most ruined by dumb gimmicks that shouldn't be in the game. 1/10 score to be honest. Expand

    Rockstar did not have to try hard – GTA V would sell on new consoles even it was the same game as before. It’s hard to underestimate both their ambition and effort to make their latest offering something more than a simple reissue. The new first person view really changes the gameplay and alone is worth your money. [01/2015, p.36]

    It’s just a great game tying to be even better. In some cases it works, in other cases it doesn’t. But, ultimately, if the idea of playing a superior version of one of the best games of all time appeals to you (and why wouldn’t it?) then this is a more than worthy excuse for a double-dip.

    The real draw to return to fold, or jump in for the first time if you missed out on GTA V over the course of the last year, lies in the updated graphical prowess current-gen systems hold. Most significantly, the draw distance in this updated version is absolutely outstanding.
