"Finished" the game in a week in High School. Was funny to put the log dates in using steam achievement dates.

Top 5 games of all time for me - between story mode and GTA Online, I have had more fun playing this game than almost anything else. I play through the entire story like once a year, and find new things every time. If the massive story with all of its side missions somehow gets boring, there's an infinite amount of things to do online. Rockstar doesn't do the best job supporting this game, but they've made something endlessly enjoyable that I will probably play forever. I will never get sick of driving around Los Santos in my car, bumpin El Sonidito.

I'll also say it's nearly impossible to find games that I enjoy this much that I can also enjoy with my sister. The sheer quantity of content in GTA Online is so massive, and so approachable for every level of player. This game is a shadowplay clip generator, and I've had endless fun/memories playing this with my sister and cousin. If GTA 6 flops I'll be distraught, because at this point it is my most anticipated game release.

Pre Platinum Review:
This was the first and only game I got on midnight release.... well technically my dad did. I made him wait outside my local GAME for the doors to open while little 7 year old me waited at home in the warm. Safe to say I was bouncing off the walls to play "the best game ever", Glad to say I wasn't disappointed. I played that game almost as much as I used to play GTA 4, switching between the two every couple of days to get a good mix of both. It was only when we finally got Wi-Fi put in the next year that the true treasure trove that was online gaming was opened before my eyes. This helped strengthen my love for this game as GTA Online became a huge part of my life for the years to come.

But after over a decade of Grand Theft Auto 5, I've seen the general consensus that GTA 5 has somehow gotten worse, which is something I don't really understand. My view on this dilemma has always been something along the lines of "yes, while some of the changes to GTA, especially in the Online mode have been negative, it doesn't make a big enough change to the game to warrant such a drastic shift in opinion."

I feel like a lot of peoples frustrations with this game lie in being burned out from playing the same game for the better part of 11 years and counting. But this frustration has turned into unwarranted anger which is being directed at the product as a whole instead of the specific things people dislike.

I want to see if my opinion changes on this idea that Grand Theft Auto 5 has somehow gotten worse because of the decisions made by Rockstar in order to try and keep it's newer, younger audience entertained and engaged.

It would also be nice and look through the story of this game (as it has been a good 4 or 5 years since my last playthrough) and see if the games story is up there with GTA 4 and RDR2.

Preparação para GTA VI.

Joguei pela primeira vez o V depois de muito tempo e pra mim envelheceu como vinho. Eu sinceramente queria que filmes de bandidagens modernos soubessem beber de fontes clássicas e trabalhar bem que nem esse jogo faz. Pra mim no final a trama vira um absoluto CAOS e eu falo num bom sentido. Só o que tenho a dizeré que o pessoal pinta uma figura do Trevor por aí que certamente não combina com o personagem. E honestamente, eu prefiro bem mais um amigo doido a um traíra. My boy Franklin gets it.

Everything straight perfection, like literally every category you can rank a video game with. I can't belive i missed out on this masterpiece a decade ago, should've been on this.

Its about career criminals and when you write modern crime you obviously gotta leave some things out here and there. I'm not gonna be a nazi about "oh yeah in this digital age thats would be impossible" because the way they decribe the crimes is so good you can straight ignore it. Another thing that I liked was from the jump everyone was in the system, there was no "oh boo hoo I cant commit crimes" they went straight into action. And not only that, they had good reason to describe why they went straight into action. Michael, Franklin, and Trevor were all introduced having their own issues and this entire plot is about braving them.

To keep this short I'm not gonna write a whole thing about the crazy lisenced music library or the funny ass dialog, just know that this thing had it all.
