So here we come up with a brand new title review which is not actually new :D
After Lots of delays Rockstar finally released the game on PC today. And we have already got our hands on this game !
After lots of improvement from PS3 and XBOX360 versions and the new First Person View in next-gen consoles, GTA V has won REMASTERED AWARD IN 2014
Story
While GTA IV follows dramatic and movie-quality storyline and a memorable main character Niko Bellic, this time Rockstar chose to do something entirely different so you get a plus point of playing as 3 main characters instead of only one that is you will get a variety of story for a long period of time
Rockstar didn't bring any new element in the game, but this doesn't means that they disappoints us. We still get 3 protagonist (Michael, Franklin and Trevor) to work around whole the game which you can change any time per your mode.
Micheal is a retired bank robberer who is leaving a uncontrolled and miserable life in Los Santos
Franklin is a thug with high dreams to live rich life and becomes a low-level gang member in the city
Trevor is psychotic but an intelligent criminal that plan and terrorize his way through the neighbouring Blane County region.
Their path cross in different way that leads them to tragic adventure.While some of the moment does not work well but you will enjoy much with all three character as well their allies and enemies.
All in all, GTA V boasts one of the best stories seen in video gaming.
Gameplay
As mentioned earlier Rockstar did outstanding work in transforming it from old consoles (PS3 and XBOX360) to PC with 4K textures and first person view which is of course a plus point, to play it on PC.
From the top town view in GTA 1, 2 and then switching to third person in all major subsequest titles and now first person view in GTA V is a thrilling experience. In first person view there is slightly fast in moving and you can customize camera in various ways, the aiming system is just amazing when looking from first person view
In addition, you can customize when you want to go into first person and third person view, for example, you are walking in first person view and suddenly goes into a cover, the game auto-switches the view into third person, which really makes the viewing mode perfect !
Changing instantly between the three often leads you to some hilarious scenarios, Trevor wakes up in a skip, or is bombing through the countryside with a 4-star wanted level. Franklin is arguing with his aunt. Michael is sipping whiskey while watching a classic movie.
GTA V also adds new vehicle and a higher draw distance that will help drivers speeding at high speed, Rockstar all ads card and pedestrians in the streets more responsible that will make you busy through the game. This time, you will experience an increased traffic and pedestrians density.
Remastered Awarded GTA V has done everything to make PC Gamers happy this time but they still didn't fix that lingering issue that were faced by many consoles user in the single storyline missions so you can expect some frustuating moments when playing missions.
Driving vehicles especially sports car is just amazing except some flipping while driving in missions but thats not a major issue.
Graphics
In terms on graphics, Rockstar made major changes and improvement that blows PC Gamers mind. From improved character models to sharp textures, smooth animation and far more better environment with detailed structures, your eye will not stop watching this beauty.
It will feel like that real peoples are roaming around the streets and the addition of wildlife and mountains will make your gaming experience far more better and enjoyable
Sounds
In terms of sound, music is almost ambiance the massive soundtrack of the game comes with various new songs, and a lot of radio contents that will not let you bored while roaming around the map.The voices on single player mission is just spectacular that make you feel almost real
The braking, acceleration and other sounds while driving will make a lot of fun.
Rockstar Editor
A unique addition to the PC only version of the game allows you easily share you exploits in Los Santos while the console versions only allowed you to capture and share the images.
This tool lets you capture your gameplay video with one simple click, and then customize it with your own songs, different viewing angles and filters.
A feature called "Director Mode" is also included about which Rockstar said "allows you to stage creative moviemaking sequences from a cast of characters ranging from familiar faces from story mode, to pedestrians and even animals." And not to forget, you will be able to do this all at 60 fps and 4K resolution.
Overall
Grand Theft Auto V is more than worth your time and money, its a great trip back to Los Santos. It gives way too much fun by just exploring, planning heists. Grand Theft Auto V gives an unforgivable experience well-worth re-experiencing it on 4K resolution on PC.
