Grand Theft Auto V: New Reality with a Good Old Drive

Grand Theft Auto V is much more than an open city car thief simulator. Initially, it was released on PS3 and Xbox 360 in September 2013. It was clear that the potential inherent in the game is tightly in the cage of outdated systems. Then, a little over a year later, the release took place on the brand new PS4/Xbox One - Rockstar showed how picturesque Los Santos and the surrounding area could be if you connect modern hardware to the business. Since 2015, PC users can also try out the legendary game from Rockstar North.
Characters
There are three main characters in GTA V at once. Two of them are old bandits with experience. The third is a growing gangsta. Michael de Santa (real name - Michael Townley) is with his family under the protection of state agencies and owns a capital of a couple of million. Trevor Phillips is his best friend, former Air Force pilot, and mentally unstable person. Hates neighbors rednecks from the desert. These same redneck neighbors are terrified of him. With nothing to do, he can take over the entire illegal business in the area (Trevor Philips Industries). Before meeting Michael, Franklin Clinton works for an Armenian criminal car dealer, an aspiring participant in the ghetto wars lives on Grove Street (GTA San Andreas).
The characters have their own unique abilities: Michael shoots in bullet time (like Max Payne), Franklin drives vehicles in bullet time, and Trevor goes berserk - deals more damage and takes less (like ogres in Warcraft). To replenish the scale of the ability, you need to dare, drive at maximum speed, and hit opponents in the head. The rest of the skills are typical and are made by analogy with the previous series: driving, endurance, lung capacity, shooting, etc.
Plot
The storyline in GTA 5 is radically different from anything that came before. Before us is not one hero with a mysterious past, but three. Moreover, their fates are closely intertwined. We watch a story deeply personal for each character, whose content goes far beyond the action unfolding. During the passage, we strive to see what will happen next and learn facts from the biographies of the heroes.
The plot rolls slowly, allowing you to savor every moment of being in Los Santos. At first, the tasks surprise with their innocence and variety: ride bicycles with Michael's son, sit in a challenging pose during a yoga session. Some quests show completely unexpected scenes. One day Franklin, moonlighting as a paparazzi, catches a socialite doing obscenities with some guy.
Graphics
Los Santos is the largest city in the GTA series and arguably one of the smartest, most intense, and beautiful in the history of video games. Like its real-life prototype, Los Angeles, the town is divided into several large zones, utterly different in landscape and design. Wild areas covered with rivers and mountains, suburban villages, downtown, looking at the world from the tops of skyscrapers. Not once during the game will you feel "copy-paste" in the districts' appearance. You can spend hours aimlessly walking around them, slowly examining examples of architecture, non-repeating billboards, graffiti on the walls.
Is Grand Theft Auto V worth buying?
Grand Theft Auto V shows a real seal of excellence. The developers at Rockstar are the undisputed leaders and geniuses in their concept. Each new installment in the series raises the bar to a new level. The question is, will there remain unconquered heights after GTA 5? There is an excellent working concept of the three main characters and their vivid imagery. You will have access to the big city and off-plot entertainment. Furthermore, there is a stunning graphics.
