First of all, disclaimer, if you are planning to play on pc this game, there is a mod that I consider essential, it's called Stutter Fix and it fixes issues that Rockstar introduced in some updates and never bothered to fix it like popping when turning the camera fast or stutter in certain areas like Saint Dennis and so on. It's sad that Rockstar doesn't care
Anyway I am not going to say anything that hasn't been told yet about this game, the game is absolutely fantastic, a masterpiece, it has a great open world, alive and recreated with such care that it's almost scary.
The animal kingdom representation in this game is so fucking real man, I can't imagine how difficult must have been for the developers to do something like this. Using the binoculars and seeing a wolf hunting a deer with such realism is crazy. I love as well how good the encounters and side stories are, they feel so organic and really help to feel immersed in the world
The dialogues, the story and characters are fantastically written, this is on another league compared to most modern games slops we get nowadays and one thing that really helps is that everything is mocap, even gameplay animations or random conversations with npcs. I can't stress this enough, every movement and animation is done with care and it's something that many games nowadays are missing unfortunately, recent examples AC Shadows and Yotei.
As for the gameplay, yes, it feels sluggish at times although there are a couple of mods that fix this problem, one of them gives you more speed transitions between walking, jogging and running which makes the movement much more accurate and there is another one that allows you to walk, jog and run just by moving the joystick forward like most games. These two mods can be a game changer and honestly I don't understand how Rockstar didn't implement it as an option at least
As for the graphics, the game still looks really good, the environments, the physics, the weather system and the world in general look very photo realistic and beautiful. Textures are showing his age as well as characters, their hair and faces are not as detailed although their facial animations and voice acting are so good that it feels like it compensates this issue.
One thing I miss while playing is a little bit more of freedom during missions. The game during missions doesn't let you approach the gameplay with many options, it feels quite on rails. It's not a big deal but I hope that GTA6 will give us more options in this regard
Anyway, after 7 years since launch, the game totally holds up and even more with a few mods. I have a list that works really well so if anyone wants it I can post it here, but yeah, please play this game, its a wonderful experience and the ending hits really hard
Thanks for reading papitos, cheers.
