Got to planning the second heist and quit. Just restarted the game and didn't get that farther into it to get back to where I was. I struggle with the insane openness of sandbox games they seem so overwhelming. I've beaten some of them and yet not others. I've beaten AC and AC2 and RDR (Best game of this past generation IMO.) Even downloaded the soundtrack to my iPhone LOVE that music!! !! Others I haven't GTA IV and now GTA V. I bought it since I heard all the 10/10 hype and just going around shooting killing feels cool and fun in a game scenario. Just to be let loose basically. Also the fact it's bigger than RDR's world but is it TOO BIG? I feel like I'm actually driving around L.A. gives a cool sense of the area. (I visited California in 99 so playing a fake one in a game is cool.) Do you have a favorite character? Trevor psychopath unhinged AWESOME! Did you beat it? Any side missions you liked perhaps feel I should do? I had gotten to where I was doing all Tevors and Michaels I read IGN and they mention the Franklin stock missions gain you money so whatever you do do those LAST. Also the last heist give you TONS of money. I do wonder what GTA on PS4/XBox1 will be like 2-3 times as huge with no map pause to load like the PS3 had to do. You could tell GTA V was really pushing the hardware to its limits.

The Squid thrives in open world games... Even more where creativity can be involved. We like the GTA series for it's stress relief, and it's sick comedy. We are now playing Watch Dogs, and we're enjoying the ability to tackle any problem in any number of ways.

Have you tried Little Big Planet and Little Big Planet 2? Those two games are works of art, once you learn how to get into them.

Very good game.

I haven't tried the single player yet, as the thought of playing through an interactive gangster movie doesn't appeal to me. Online however (especially with friends) is brilliant fun if you don't mind grinding, and the world is quite beautiful. Has some of the best lighting and water effects that I've seen, too.

Haven't tried GTAV yet as I got really bored with the other games in the series.

Rockstar won't put it out on the new systems, so I can't play it. I went and got watch dogs today because of that. I hope its enjoyable :s. I am worried about the lack of cheats, harder cops, no shooting from cars, stricker police about showing guns. I wish i could play gta5

Yes it seems GTA V from 6+ months ago has better gameplay and graphics SHOCKER! I hear the cars crash like an arcade racer NOT actual car physics UGH! I'll wait for Watch Dogs to hit $20ish by Black Friday I'm sure. The so so reviews of a game 6+ more months in development got me intrigued to jump back into GTA V. Have 1 more week until my little sisters are off for summer so might try to tackle the gameplay story wise. The map having to load for a minute or 2 is annoying but imagine a NEW GTA 6 on PS4 that doesn't have too WOW!

The online can be hilariously fun at times, even though Rockstar f'd it up in a lot of ways. Gta 4 and RDR were much simpler and easier to get into, I liked them better.

It looks amazing, and I want to play it, but I don't have anything to play it on. It simply astounds me how huge and detailed the environments are, and how much stuff there is to do, especially considering that it was released for the PS3 and 360. I mean, the 360 is turning 9 this year, and the PS3 is turning 8; in computing terms, those systems are ancient!

It's a technically amazing masterpiece of programing, that isn't as fun to play as I think it should be.
