Grand Theft Auto V Reviews
Playing the game again from the first-person perspective is a blast. It's also become my perspective of choice for Grand Theft Auto Online
Grand Theft Auto V showcases the masterpiece of an open world action adventure title that Watch_Dogs and other open world games have failed to deliver. The mind-blowing graphics, alluring gameplay experience, and the perfect online mode makes Grand Theft Auto V a deserving game to be awarded with Game of the Year title of 2015!
I said in my original review that Rockstar dropped the mic on the previous generation with the release of GTAV. If that's the case, this feels like a remastering of a classic album. The fact that this isn't known as "GTAV: Definitive Edition" speaks volumes to the attitude Rockstar have taken with this release. It's GTAV, and it's on the new systems. There is an absolute treasure trove of content to dive headfirst into, and with its fresh coat of paint, GTAV on PS4 is one of the best looking open worlds that there has ever been on a console. I fully expect the PC version to be modded to the moon and back when it's released in January, but for now, this version of Los Santos will remain the pinnacle. If you've yet to play Grand Theft Auto V and own a new system, there is absolutely no excuse for not picking up this release. If you're thinking about double-dipping, then it's a slightly more difficult proposition, but I would recommend it. Admittedly that's because I was looking forward to taking my time with the game rather than mainlining the story campaign in a few days like I did with the review last year. There are still parts that I've yet to touch on the last generation, so with everything to do all over again plus all of that? It's one of the best value propositions on the market right now. Hopping on a scooter and riding down to Vespucci beach during the sunset never felt quite so good.
One of the best games on the last gen has been brought into the new gen era with GTA V.
Grand Theft Auto V doesn't correct every mistake or misstep it made from its previous outing. There are still only three main protagonists in the game, all of which are male. The writing is still a bit hit or miss. Aiming and shooting while driving is still an exercise in frustration. However, the good aspects of the game far outweigh the bad. First-person mode is a tremendous addition to the game. The increased resolution and stable framerate are fantastic when compared to the old gen. The minimal pop in of objects is leaps ahead of the often-horrendous pop in of objects that often happened right in front of your face on the old gen. Grand Theft Auto V on the PlayStation 4 isn't perfect but it has certainly rekindled my love of the game.
Overall, the GTA V is one of the better, if not straight, best port games of the old generation. Although you can still see that it is a port, 1080p resolution, new textures, effects and even the new FPS mode nicely enhance the original title. If you haven't played the game on old consoles, you'll definitely enjoy it here.

ither way, the PC version offers a definitive version of the game with everything that belongs to it. And so with a massive campaign that will take you 30 hours, dozens more hours in side tasks, extensive GTA Online mode, plenty of options, and even Heist with collaboration tasks.

Without a doubt, the 1-year and 7-month wait was successfully concluded. Grand Theft Auto V, in its own right, is a masterpiece that will remain within the list of the best productions for years, perhaps decades. The new version for PC arrives to affirm what we already knew: here everything looks better and it is the definitive version of a great classic of our times. Grand Theft Auto V for PC is a must-see for other studios that intend to develop PC games; it's a look at the future of the platform, its capabilities and scope. Competition in the future will be based on who achieves better optimization and options for the user. Grand Theft Auto V delivered and far exceeded what we expected. We do not hesitate to recommend it.

Playing GTA V on Xbox One brought me to relive the magnificence of this extraordinary game where you can wreak destruction and mayhem in a huge setting full of traffic, policemen, pedestrians, cats, mountain lions, deer, and coyotes that you can throw into pleasure in escaping the law in any of dozens of luxury cars you buy or steal in the game. If you did not have a chance to play it in the past generation, the new version will leave you open-mouthed and if you did, it will probably amaze you too, although the surprise will quickly fade, when you realize that you are doing exactly the same missions.

One of the greatest games of all time raises the bar once again
It doesn't matter if it's your first time visiting Los Santos or if you're thinking of booking a return flight, we give GTA V our highest recommendation. This is simply a marvelous game.
Grand Theft Auto V really surprised me. For a series I have had very little interest in the past outside an appreciate for technical proficiency, I found myself drawn into a world where lots of bad things happen to a good number of people - and I was often the one perpetrating these crimes. Call it self-aware social criticism or a guilty pleasure, Grand Theft Auto V proves to be a great deal of fun.
Grand Theft Auto V is the perfect combination of story-telling and excellent game mechanics but most importantly; it's one hell of a time. If you're waiting for payday, or have yet to pick it up, get it. You'll never spend a better $60 in your life.
We scored GTA V a 10/10 upon its original release in 2013, yet this is better in every way and adds so much more to the experience that it becomes an essential purchase, whether you want to play through again of just experience something simply amazing. The original isn't all of a sudden worse, so unofficially lets give GTA V 11/10.
Ultimately you will get everything you expected from GTA 5 for PC; a tremendous game with many months of playability and the potential to only get better. If you own a kick-ass PC you should buy it. If not, take the $1500 you were going to spend on that poseur Mac, and buy yourself a kick-ass PC.
Rockstar continues to improve upon one of the greatest games of all time, not to mention getting over the hump that haunted them for the past seven years.
At the end of the day, this is still Grand Theft Auto V, an entry that I find is the best in the series, and a game that has been made that little bit better with the performance boost and graphical enhancements.
The game loads quicker, it transitions between characters faster, view distances are increased and everything is just better. GTA V on PC is an opera in its honour. It is a sonnet to PC gaming, doing what consoles did oh so long ago -- exploiting its strengths and avoiding its weaknesses.
Rockstar has improved upon one of the greatest games of all time. The original version of Grand Theft Auto V was a major accomplishment upon its initial release and remains that way even after a year of the new console generation.
It's a brilliant, entertaining adventure that is worth repeating over and over again, you'll never get tired of chasing the American Dream in Los Santos.
