    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Altough the ending fells kinda unsatifing, at least the ones were you chose to kill one of them. The rest is fun as hell, realistic but not too realistic to stop being fun. The story is really fun and well written… Expand

    GTA is GTA there is no need to elaborate on this game.
    It works properly, maybe sometimes monotonous, but still lacks the atmosphere of Vice City.

    GTA V was one of my favorite games from RockStar, but I can tell you that this game is really cool, but to be honest there are some cons too. About cons I can say that: That this game shows us that the main protagonist is Michael, but for some reason Franklin is the most playable character in the game because he has more quests than Michael or Trevor. Second con is the choice of endings, IGTA V was one of my favorite games from RockStar, but I can tell you that this game is really cool, but to be honest there are some cons too.

Second con is the choice of endings, I won't say what are the endings, but I can say that first 2 endings are bad not because it has not a really good ending, but because it's not really logical, so I recommend u to choose only good ending because it's not only a logic, but also the ending is really epic. Now about pros. First pro is that the heist missions are really cool because you can choose the plan of the heist, my favorite is the Juggernaut suit heist! Another pro is the list of characters, my favorite were Lamar who even became a meme with his 'Yee-Yee Ass haircut', Trevor who is just my favorite character because this guy is crazy but he's actually not that bad person because he a bit cares about some people, just like his mom and Patricia who was a wife of a mafia boss. So, I was really worried for Trevor and I think he's better than Vaas from Far Cry 3!

    So my grade for GTA V is 8/10!    … Expand

However, I was really shocked by all the details which Rockstar put into this game. The surrounding... they were surreal. I was enjoying time by time just to drive around the San Andreas state and appreciate all the details and surroundings. As well I had really fun playing with all the protagonists. I give respect to Rockstar that they try to innovate and introduce 3 characters instead of 1 how it used to be. By knowing that the game was released in 2013 I believe it was a brave step by them by knowing how huge is the fan base of the series. The most negative part of this game is the storyline. Personally, for me, it was worst compared with Vice City, San Andreas, or GTA IV. I did not have this feeling how I used to have with previous parts of this series. Or maybe it is just because I am getting older....… Expand

    For a game released in 2014, it still looks amazing. The story is engaging and enjoyable. The characters have their own personalities that don't feel bland or uninteresting. There's many to do in game, though I cannot comment on the multiplayer aspect. Rockstar has released another amazing title, and I cannot wait for the next instalment of the series.

    The Story Mode of this game is near perfect, although it is a bit rough around the edges. Although Online is just a cesspool of people in opressors killing you at most every seven minutes. But the Story Mode is best for more of a fun time rather than a stressful on like in Online.

In the end the obsession with unlocking things makes what would be really fun into something extremely tedious, I already beat the story mission do I really have to unlock all the guns in online mode . . . again? Why do I have to unlock the ability to upgrade my car? What if I want to have an AI match because no other person online wants to play the matches I want to play? This game doesn't have the droves of followers that Call of Duty and their ilk have, probably never will, and most importantly the players are different. Why make this game into Battle field or CoD, if I wanted to play those games I'd just load them up. GTA 5 can't compete in the same field because it's not the same type of game, give up, let GTA be awesome by itself and stop trying to press it into the mold of the one hit wonders!… Expand

    This is the first GTA I have ever played and after 100%ing it here are my thoughts.

    Pros Best online I have ever played.

    Pros
    Best online I have ever played. I do not often play online as it is normally young boys simply shooting each other....not my cup of tea; and while GTA V doesn't lack for those idiots, Rockstar has both made it easy to avoid the them as well make most play either solo or co-op....really fun sandbox even if it eats up an amazing amount of internet usage (if you have a cap) and is an incredible grind if you want the level 100 Achievement....you are forced to grind races mainly.

    I assume the reason that GTA is so popular is that the game was very accessible, meaning the single player lacks any real challenge as the game is expert i handholding and making difficult seeming encounters very easy. This can be both a plus (for casuals) and a minus (most serious gamers).

    The detailed open world is a pleasure to play in; as with all open worlds it is not perfect by a long shot, but it is hands down the best out there....Far Cry 3 would be the closest.

    Cons
    You are forced to play as 3 degenerate murderers....I find this an odd concept. You can spin it however you want, but all 3 are idiots.....how is one supposed to feel immersed playing these tools?

    The single player is far, far too easy.

    Traffic is supposed to mimic reality and yet the sole purpose of traffic in GTA V is to create obstacles for you as a driver.....it's idiotic.

    Default vehicles...each character has them, but no mater how much money you make you can never change your default vehicle.....very simple but massive fail.    … Expand

    Then came GTA online... and significantly impacted my final score. Words cannot describe my frustration trying to play it. It's an absolute piece of turd. Imagine a Ferrari, and everything on it is perfect, except the rear bumper is made out of play-doh. The loading times are astonishingly long, and if you're lucky to be connected you have anywhere between 10 minutes to 30 minutes before the server hands your ass to you out the door. I went through EVERY imaginable method described by Rockstar support to get this to work, and they kept saying it was on my end. Meanwhile I'm reading everywhere else people having the same issue. They asked for screenshots of all my settings and they finally admitted the problem wasn't on my end, and upgraded my support ticket which I never heard from again.

    You would think that Rockstar, with this mountain of cash they made, would invest in a good networking system. Right? What's interesting is, they promptly delete complaints off their forums about these problems. I have friends who are trying to play with the exact same issues.

    Getting all the cars and planes is cool and fun but so what ? it means nothing for the single player, I don't have a heart for online gaming (yet) but even that is just will be the same rollercoaster of getting rich and leaving you empty in the end.

    As much as we love gaming, the end result should have a fulfilment, a need that's accomplished. For example when i completed Ghost Recon Wildlands, i felt like i did a good job liberating the people of "Bolivia" from Tyrant Drug King Ruler. But in GTA V ... the getting rich wasn't much of a fulfilment.

    One thing though I learnt is that Rockstar put a lot of work in that game, the story is amazing, the details put in Los Santos to represent everyday life is no small thing and most times i was enjoying the game but the end goal left me yearning for more.    … Expand

    The story is very good, with a lot of action and you end up understanding the characters. But, online is getting worse. Either you play long hours and buy business, or you pay real money. People are very heavy and will always want to bother you while you are on a mission. The beats no longer make that much money and only business matters.

    GTA 5 is the first part of the GTA series that I ever played, only 2 weeks ago. For me, I like a lot of game options, a range of cars and weapons and the size of the map. But the thing that annoys me is, at least in my opinion, very stupid control. If you're an Xbox gamer and you've played more game titles, you're sure to notice. In my opinion, control in the Mafia, for example, is much easier.

    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.
