I think I have ~2 hours in GTA V singleplayer, and 200 hours in the online mode. During COVID, playing this with my friends has become one of my favorite memories in all of gaming. Are there cheaters, plenty of bullshit, a terrible pricing system, and more to complain about? 100%. But these things also did create memories for me. It's a broken mess of a multiplayer, but man, it's fun if you just accept that.
first and foremost fuck this game and fuck everything it stands for. ive played countless hours grinding this stupid level system to level 700 from day one on ps3 then one day i got too greedy and did the unthinkable: i duped a car (yes i did it multiple times but still, my friends did it too but didnt get banned) they fucking banned me, removed my player and every possessions ive grinded hard to have from existence. first offence and i was out. but then i removed the game entirely and my life hasnt been better since tbh.
If you have to retain only one thing: this game is the reason we didnt get gta 6 like 5 years ago.

I am all for games where the gameplay loop is simply make money, spend money to make more money, and make more money to spend on whatever you want.
It sucks that rockstar spends so much time ruining the game for everyone with their inconsistent and poor ass servers, horrible anti-cheat, and somehow ruining the experience every update they introduce.
Still love it though just wish it was developed better. Will keep playing.

One of the best online games at its peak. After nearly 10 years you can tell that its fallen off a fair bit. Public sessions are a no go if you want to try and make money. Grinding the same heists gets a bit boring after a while and eventually once you have bought everything you want money becomes useless. However you cant deny that we all have great memories on this game.
Really fun when it was at its peak but now it's in a pretty stale state with no surprise, GTA 6 should be Rockstar's main focus so their lack of attention on this game lately is justified.
Either way, it suffers from a bunch of problems, mostly being the toxic tryhards and what a grindfest the game can be at times. I personally share great memories and most of the hours I put in GTA V are into this. I can see it get incredibly boring if you don't have anyone to play this with, the most fun I found was just messing around with friends in private or even public sessions. One of the most impressive aspects of the story mode were probably the cutscenes and the story overall, this game builds upon that surprisingly well. There isn't one big plot or anything, it's all seperated through different properties for the most part.
In conclusion, GTA Online was a great way to expand upon GTA V but unfortunately transformed Rockstar into a money hungry machine lowering the amount of work they could've put in other projects for the past 10 years. (RDR2 still slaps though)
