Grand Theft Auto V

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 like how the other reviews sound like Wikipedia articles. Here's an actual review from an actual person. If you said that GTA V is the best game of all time, I wouldn't argue with you. What Rockstar did for gaming with this absolute masterpiece cannot be understated. We're still playing it religiously, 10 years after it came out. One decade. Let that sink in. The use of three protagonists was a great idea and really branched out this game in ways we've never seen before. Getting three different perspectives on the same story is extremely interesting. Each of the protagonists holds their own; Trevor is easily one of my favorite protagonists ever; I love the Al Pacino vibe that Michael gives off; and Franklin's journey is awesome to see. The gameplay is top-notch. I love the gunplay, and the driving is stellar; it's much better than the boat steering from GTA 4. The story is incredible; there isn't much of an emotional attachment, but it's still extremely compelling and can easily last for multiple playthroughs. I replay this game once a year because I love it so much. The map is one of the best out there, and there's a reason it's used when judging the maps of new games. Online is a completely different story; it's toxic and pay-to win. It's fun with friends, but random lobbies are awful. Overall, GTA V is a 5/5. There's really nothing that can bring down the score.

You enjoy a thousand things everyday, make sure this is one of them
Rating: 10/10
Having finished the campaign multiple times, I can assure you its still fantastic.
But most of my time were spent in GTA online. The amount of quality contents they have added over the years is extremely overwhelming especially for a beginner. Since they already have a superior base game, its very addictive. I have never played any game as much as this one.
To survive in GTA online (AKA Paradise city of hackers):
- Play in invite only/friend session
- Most contents can be played solo but some requires a team of 2 or 4, so having a friend would make life a lot easier
- Consider Armoured Kuruma the immediate next "basic" investment after Guns!
(No NPC would be able to harm you since its an insanely bulletproof car, otherwise RiP in advance to you)
- Previous point read again!
Best GTA Online contents:
All Heists, Lamar's Lowrider (Lr), Agency (story and killing contracts), Salvage Yard (mini heists), Auto Shop (mini heists), Nightclub (steady passive income), Dax (R), Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid (V), Casino penthouse, and so on you will discover more grindy ones too..

8 years later....
The GTA series is by far, hands down, one of the best series in the video game industry. Its sales speak for itself.
This game's scale is pretty massive and runs fairly well on a decent PC. Rockstar has really gone all out on this game. It's practically endless to the things you can do in this game. You'll have hundreds of hours sunk into this masterpiece and still find things to laugh at, things to learn, secrets, and memorable moments. Just exploring the entire map is something in and of itself. I've done it all on foot now.
The story is something you'd see in the movie theaters. Micheal, Franklin, Trevor, and almost every side character is absolutely perfect, AAA, just blockbuster stuff. Micheal is a washed-up bank robber, now family man clinging onto stories of his criminal mastermind ways. Franklin is a young, loyal, earner who wants to be bigger than just some gang banger in the hood. And Trevor... Trevor.. Trevor is something truly special. Honestly, I've played the game so much and all the other games in the series that I understand how R* pushes the satire of current events and pop culture to the extreme. In ways that some would see as going too far. Trevor is all that and more in one person. The dialog between these guys in and out of missions/heists is one of the pillars of what makes this game's campaign so strong. You are able to switch between all three pretty much at your leisure as the game progresses.
The graphics are stunning and hold up to this day. With mods, it goes even further beyond!. From the busy city life of Los Santos to the vast, rural area of Blaine County. It's truly something to see, both during the day and at night. Characters, cars, animals, and environments are all worthy of greatness for detail.
Gameplay wise I'd say it's the most fluid and versatile in the series. GTA IV felt like you were a tank and to an extent, it feels like that in GTA V as well. But, it's better. I do miss the ragdoll effects GTA IV did have, however. Also, the vehicle body damage was far better in the previous title. Rather than having one weapon of each type, like before. You have a wheel that has every weapon, in every category available to you, if you're able to obtain them. There is an abundance of weapons to be used, vehicles too. You can also customize both weapons and cars pretty in-depth.
Music. Well. GTA is known for having probably the best soundtracks of all time, ever. Nothing really needs to be said there.
Online is really something else entirely. You basically level up and fight your way to being a notorious kingpin-overlord-super god. You can buy bunkers, facilities, offices, drug factories, nightclubs, casinos, submarines to satellites that shoot lasers. You can do just about everything you could do in the main story and more AND you can do it with like 30 other people online. It's just never-ending mayhem and provides for a truly great and unique experience every time you go to play it. The only thing that really does suck is the amount of modder/hackers in the game. R* says they do ♥♥♥♥, but it's evident that they do not.
The only real question is, why aren't you playing this game?

Been playing this for many years and have always loved it, as well as the other GTA games.
I love the characters, the people who play the characters and I thought the story was pretty good.
I only really play story mode and never really was a fan of online mode especially with Rockstar milking the hell out of it.
But despite that I still love it and play it, I played it on my sisters ps3, beat it on my ps4, and will continue to play it on my ps5 and pc with mods (Until Gta6 that is)
Anyway that's my review, and remember! Michael was NEVER in witness protection.
