very good video game. it's mildly wonky in the story department but on the all, on par with the original story if not a little less emotionally impactful. hype as fuck though. gameplay is incredible and was a blast to play. absolutely loved doing side missions and simple crime stuff simply because the game plays amazingly. big fan of the gameplay, really loved it. biggest complaint is how much of a side character miles feels in this game and his inclusion in the main story felt forced or uninspired. really big shame considering how good the Miles Morales game was for him. Peter and Harry are gay. MJ is real cool. Kraven is great but feels absent and underutilized. Venom is hot. good shit.

While I've played GTAV in the past, I never really got too far into the story itself. SO, this is basically my first time playing the GTAV story.
I'm going to start by stating my big negative with the game. I think the open world is just so stale to me now because I've been playing the online mode of that game since it's release and I've seen basically everything there is to it, so all I ever wanted to do were the missions. And those missions were pretty darn fun. I had a great time with the vast majority with them. The downtime between them though sucked. I'm talking main missions not the side content. While sometimes that side content will rock, but other times it is a SLOG that I cannot stand. It ranges from short and sweet to long and boring. Trevor's side content especially to me is grating.
The characters of this game are real fun. That includes the side characters. Lamar and Lester are easily two of my favorite characters from the game. The both are perfectly comedic and delightful to see talk with the main characters. Of those main characters, Trevor is fine. He has some of the best comedic content in the game as well as some banger missions, but also his character is home to some terrible and unfunny dialouge and humor and I cannot fully love him for that. Michael is fine as well. He starts out pretty strong, and then gets fairly lame through the larger part of the middle section of the game. He picks back up near the end though. And for what it's worth, I like the concept and idea behind what his character is trying to be. And when it shines through it's real good. Franklin though, is easily the best character in the game. Hilarious, interesting, compelling, and home to the most of the best missions in the game. His character is just so enjoyable and he has some of the best interactions and conversations in the game. He has me saying "Real" more than most other video game characters and I think he is so cool. Best personal storyline, best side cast, and best house (both). Love that guy.
Okay that's about all I have to say. Everyone's played GTA V, game is good. I had a fun time with the story, even if it dragged in some parts.

i don’t really feel like writing a full review for this game. to simply put it, i’ve never felt more seen than in this game. i feel such a deep personal connection to Mae Borrowskiz. Unfortunately, she is just like me, more so the kind of person i was around her age. I wish she was a better person just like i wish i was better then. There are things she struggles with that i still find myself struggling with. she is the closest i’ve ever related to a character for every good and bad trait she holds. This game allowed for some healing and deep catharsis for me. I love it so dearly, one of the best games i’ve ever played. Bea is the best character.

This is just a fun game to knock out in a day. Replayed this on Hardcore for the first time and it kicked my ass, but it made me learn to dodge. The dodge is a feature I didn't really take advantage of in my first playthrough, so now I really appreciate and enjoy the feature. Jill and Carlos are a dynamic duo that excell and I adore them both so much. I really like the game up to the hospital honestly. I find some aspects of it a bit underwhelming, simply because you don't get to spend a lot of time in a lot of these area's. It is unfortunate that Downtown Raccoon City is not stuck in my mind the same way the RPD and Mansion are from the previous two games. I want to give the Original a shot since I have heard that this game cuts half of the original version out. Truthfully it shows that. The last 1/3rd of this game taking place in NEST 2 just blows. It's uninteresting, no puzzles, little exploration, and kind of infuriating at times. Nemesis truthfully loses that zing of being an intimidating and difficult roaming enemy after he falls into the water. I just liked him less and less as the game progressed. Overall the game is really good and fun but it lacks what really attracts me to Resident Evil. The lack of real exploration, puzzle solving, and backtracking hurt this game for me a lot. It's a fun game, but falls just short of greatness.
