Grand Theft Auto V
Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a street hustler looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life. The biggest, most dynamic and most diverse open world ever created, Grand Theft Auto V blends storytelling and gameplay in new ways as players repeatedly jump in and out of the lives of the game’s three lead characters, playing all sides of the game’s interwoven story. All the classic hallmarks of the groundbreaking series return, including incredible attention to detail and Grand Theft Auto’s darkly humorous take on modern culture, alongside a brand new and ambitious approach to open world multiplayer.

This game is like a toxic relationship... I can't stop playing!
Here's why:
Loading screens are the real endgame. Seriously, I could write a novel in the time it takes to load into a lobby. (Shoutout to the guy who said 2/3 of his playtime is loading!)
GTA Online proves world peace is a myth. Between the griefers, the tryhards, and the flying bikes, it's basically a warzone out there.
Lester is... something else. Dude needs to chill.
The radio is fire, though. Better than any real-life station, hands down. Don't @ me.
Rockstar's been milking this cow for years... And you know what? I'll keep drinking that sweet, sweet milk.
10/10 would get banned again. (RIP to my 1000+ hour account).

i have played over 1,000 hours of GTA5. gotta say i enjoy the immersion, the various challenges, both in story mode and online, but dislike that the more i do, the greater the odds of my businesses getting raided. i would have expected the raids to be based on me gaining wealth or becoming so successful that enemies noticed me but instead the game hits you with a raid simply based on if you fail to multitask quickly enough. *shrug* it is what it is. until sep 17 2024, i would have said that the worst part was the cheaters, however rockstar surprised me. as of today, they demand that i allow some 3rd-party company to gain intimate access to my computer (kernel-level access) or they won't let me play the game i payed for. no way (in very profane terms) has this been necessary for the past 11 years, it's not necessary now, it adds no value to the game, it simply permits spyware to see everything inside my computer, which includes keylogging, personal files, financial records, legal documents, and browser history. nope. i can't go there. the game has been great, i think it is one of the best i've ever played (see previous transmission re: 1,000 hours of game play), but this sort of blackmail should be illegal. i uninstalled the game, dropped to steam to explain why, and will go find something else to play. GTA5, it was good to know you, but then you got weird. i'm out.
