Obviously I had played this before, in fact this is my third time playing the game. One when it originally came out for PS3, second when it had the PS4 version and it's new first person mode, and now a third and probably final time on the PS5 before the highly anticipated GTA VI. It's been 10 years of this fifth installement and for the most part what made it such a huge game back in 2013 is still intact, even if you can obviously tell it's age by now and some of it's flaws are now more telling. It's definitely an iconic game and for really good reason, I found the majority of the story enjoyable and funny, the characters likeable and the gameplay a lot of fun. But yeah, I think the world is ready for the next Grand Theft Auto and I'm glad we're not so far from that. Consider my pre order done as soon as that comes ou in 2025.
