Fantastic map and voice acting, it's a shame I didn't have this as a younger teen to sandbox around in like I did for GTA IV because it feels better to play.

I vastly prefer IV's story though, and because I'm not cool, that IS a factor to me. The writing is clever, but in the Joss Whedon-y way where prolonged exposure to it made me want to tell it to shut up. It got kinda edgy for no reason other than to smirk and wait for you to either be offended or lol out loud. I had neither reaction. Still, a grand majority of the single-player is tons of fun and there’s a lot of interesting missions to keep the game interesting.

You get to play as three characters, but the fact that Franklin's superpower is bullet-time driving dissuaded me from playing as the other two at all beyond mandatory missions for them. Michael's high-noon slowdown power belongs in the old west, not when I've got four-billion cops teleporting in with RPGs. I think Trevor's power is crippling heroin addiction?

There's a shitton to do in this game but if you think I'm gonna go play darts or golf or YOGA I'll refer you back to Franklin's slomo driving power. Fuck outta here, yoga? All that time programming that minigame coulda went to getting Geno in here or something idk

It looks like a lotta people value this game for it's online which I absolutely hated. I play these games to run away from cops and feed my antisocial tendencies, the last thing I wanted was to play heists with actual human players who invested tons of cash in this game instead of a HYSA and whose social skills were as tolerable as the mission writing.

Maybe it would have been better with irl friends but eeeehh... I don't think this game appeals to me as a multiplayer game like it does with 99% of the rest of the world.

Best Zelda gameplay-wise for me. I have minor nitpicks but the game justifies its approach so well that I feel like an idiot having problems with it.

I prefer permanent weaponry but every five feet there's a sleeping pig-billy you can rip in half for his mop so it doesn't really bother me.

Shrines are same-y but so many cool puzzle ideas.

Subtle story that's very defeatist and I adore it. All my friends who believed in me fucking died sweet love that for me.

*This game loses a half-star whenever it rains.
