Grand Theft Auto V Playstation 4

What can I say other than this game is one of my favorites in my modest collection of games?I've only played GTA 4 and 5, but the first time I played 5, I admit I was a little hesitant. I had come off right from finishing 4, and my mind and heart were still with those characters in Liberty City, it almost felt fake to come here to Los Santos. I played these games on the PS3, so I played the prologue of GTA 5 and then took a break for awhile. After coming back after maybe a year, my perspective had totally changed. I'd missed the GTA world, and it was exciting for me to try new content. This time I had it for the PS4 and immediately my reaction was insanely more positive. Maybe it was just the graphics that bothered me the first time around, but this time that I played it was truly uplifting for me.The game centers around Franklin, Michael, and Trevor: a small time hustler, retired bank robber, and a deranged, trigger-happy guy respectively, who eventually find their way together and use their criminal cunning to fight for their freedom. It's an open world with a thoroughly engaging story line that had me enticed all the way to the very end. You get to switch between all three characters, doing missions and side quests to further you along the game. It took me awhile to finish my first play through, and when I wanted a break from the main story, there were plenty of Strangers and Freaks side missions to do where you help out (or con out) some pretty interesting people, along with random events that occur around town where you can cash in for a quick buck or play hero to some helpless civilian. My favorites are the collectibles, where you have to collect spaceship parts or letter scraps; finding all of them unlocks a unique Strangers and Freaks mission. Even after you finish the game, there's still plenty to do. I'm currently trying to get to 100% game play and that in itself is packed full of checks you have to get through on the checklist. It's enough to keep you occupied for months.The characters were pretty solid, the main characters anyway. Trevor is by far the most entertaining of the three with his general wackiness and psychopathic tendencies. Depending on your tastes, the events and dialogue centered around him are incredibly humorous and never fail to make me laugh. The graphics and driving are so much smoother than on the PS3, making the driving sometimes sensitive if you're used to the rough turns on its predecessor.GTA 5 is definitely worth the buy if you don't want to finish a game in a couple settings. The world is vast and full of goodies, like armor and ammo just lying around in the woods or underwater, so you can't go wrong there. With the PS4 version of the game, there are perks for returning PS3 players who played GTA 5 on there first, like exclusive weapons and missions. So, even if you already have the PS3 version, getting the PS4 version would not be a bad idea!

Awesome game, I play it all the time I take it in and out the PlayStation to play other disk games and it hasn't scratched at all

The love of my grandsons life. Keeps him entertained

I resisted playing this for a couple of years. I was annoyed at the way the game started out with a somewhat challenging driving sequence. Additionally, the graphic language and initial characters seemed over the top stereotypical. HOWEVER, I finally gave this another try, recently, and I have to say, this game is fantastic. Yes, they use the "F" word over and over again (not a prude, just seems unnecessary), but you actually get used to it.The Good:The "Los Santos" or LA open world is amazing. Even though the game is a few years old, the graphics and much of the scenery is really beautiful. If you've ever live in LA, its amazing how familiar it all it. They've compacted the areas of the city, since making it true to size would be unrealistic, but don't get me wrong, it's huge.The driving get easier as you go along. Each car handles a little differently and after a short while of practice, the driving becomes quite easy. In fact, it's a BLAST to drive around the city and desert areas. I never obey traffic laws, and the cops don't seem to bother you for running red lights. It's easy to steal a car and use it when needed. Tons of different models, as well as motorcycles. Driving is a huge part of this game, but trust me, it gets really fun running from cops.This story in this game is amazing. At first, you're wondering why your playing these characters that seem a bit over the top, but as the story progresses, you see how they all come together and it becomes one of the most engaging and fun stories that you'll encounter in a video game. There's tons of side quests to do and hundreds of hours to put into it. You will likely find yourself becoming attached to the characters as you do in any good tv show or movie. Believe me, the characters and morality in this game are quite questionable, but once you realize it's just a game and enjoy it for what it is, then you will have fun.There's a whole money system, property, stock, etc...but make it what you want. Yes, it's good to buy some things, such as an airstrip for one of the characters, etc...but it's simple and you will earn money. However, you don't have to go crazy with it if you don't want to. There's a lot to learn in this game, but it's never a burden. Google is your friend.Bottom line: Give it a chance and make it through the first three or four hours to get to some of the better main missions, and you'll start to see why this game is so popular.
