World's better than IV so I was happy initially but it has nowhere near the lasing appeal of San Andreas or Vice City, which I was hoping for. I never even beat it and ironically enough, I was just getting ready to trade it in to Amazon for 20 bucks credit. :ld: Good game, but overall forgettable. City was beautiful but something was missing for me.
Pretty much this for me (except I never played IV) It was good but to me they padded it out with too many worthless missions, also side activities were lame and they never gave you any money :dahell: I'm videotaping hoes getting anal but don't get no dough? :what: Also the fact that you had to buy places for hundreds of thousands of dollars and then do missions that only paid thousands meant that you'd never re-coup the money might as well just spend it on guns.
I think the best missions were the ones were you got to control multiple protagonist, ironically the lack of one strong protagonist made the story not as engrossing as VC or San Andreas (I'm guessing never beat SA).
It's funny my girl is a huge GTA fan (she still demands I beat San Andreas) but she got bored with this game after the first heist, I stuck with it longer but had to force myself to finish it.

considering it's a half a year later and my fiance bought it for for me as a late b-day present? fantastic! nah, but seriously it's still a great game. people's expectations were just way too high. they don't seem to realize the game was probably packed full of stuff that they had to take out because of the limitations of the last gen consoles. there's a reason they're going to keep releasing dlc for both single player and online. my biggest complaint was that they were focusing on online too much(as just about every other developer is), but online has vastly improved from launch and sp should have alot of extra things coming to it in the future. the potential is crazy if rockstar utilizes it correctly.

i never got past the beginning. i dont know why i keep letting myself get caught in the hype, i dont like these games
That's why I only rent them.

No way I will ever buy another GTA game...they just don't do it for me.

I tried getting back to it the other day, I'm somewhere in the beginning of the game, I have to take some pictures of a jewelry store to rob later.
Brehs I can't do it, I tried liking this game but everytime I try getting into it it takes no more then 10 minutes for me to turn it off.

I think I'm done with the series.

waiting for the pc version, was fun the first month when it dropped and posting the selfies and some online which was kinda ruined by all those network errors during the beginning.

I think people expected it to replace or at least improve upon their already cruddy lives. If you keep the spirit of the original Grand Theft Auto in mind, it's actually an incredible achievement.

SP was kinda cool i guess. The lack of customisation killed what could've been the greatest game ever.

Got 100% completion in SP using free aim, and honestly the game was a huge let down. The shooting mechanics were god awful. Firing guns felt less realistic than in GTA 4 (The guns had weight and kick in 4.) Why the fukk did they think it was a good idea to make bullets leave little visible silver smoke trails? Aiming was a complete fail. That shyt was literally like dragging an anvil around the screen. All enemies got annoying sniper aim even with inaccurate pistols. No crouch like in GTA V, so your forced to use that wack ass cover system. The police detecting you shoot a lone hiker on a mountain with a silenced pistol with no witnesses. Police helicopters arriving in unlimited numbers.... So much wack shyt in that game. The arcade driving and damage. Scaling a mountain in a sports car. LOL

I remember flying low in the jet plane at full speed, and the cops on the ground still could hit me with their pistols. shyt was retarded as fukk.

Edit: If they implemented the excellent gunshot gore, wounding, accurate aiming and realistic gun mechanics found in Max Payne. GTA V would be a hell of a lot better. Shootouts would be fun at least.
