Yeah, the online sucks balls, but the main game is reeeaally good.

I think what Rockstar accomplished with this game is still commendable. The open world feels great and more immersive than ever before, the different main characters are different enough to make their conflicts more interesting (At least Michael and Trevor); I like that after certain point you can just switch to any of them at any given moment to progress their own separate stories. It's just executed flawlessly.

I also like the focus on big over the top heists, kinda makes stakes feel a lot bigger than in some of the previous titles. And it is simply impressive that after all these years since this game came out, it pretty much still holds up visually...I'd say it even looks better than some AAA games coming out today.

In terms of things I dislike. A lot of these missions and side activities just feel like busy work that is not even fun to do, I get that these games are always looking to be more "realistic" but for GTA I sometimes prefer the wackier way the older games were.

I also must admit that anything outside of Los Santos is insanely boring and uninteresting. I get why they had to get rid of all the other cities and extra locations from San Andreas, but maybe they should've spent more time trying to make the rest of the map as fun to explore as the main city itself....Because whenever I have to do Trevor missions outside of LS....All I feel is dread.

This is a great game, not my favorite GTA, but top V at least.

I'm sorry.
