The game is getting better, and fast. 1.0 test servers are extremely promising. Yeah, it has frustrating lag and bugs, but if you find yourself sinking dozens of hours into this game, wouldn't you say it was worth the money?

I've been a fan of Grand Theft Auto for many years, solely playing on the Playstation platforms since Vice City Stories. Rockstar has fallen short on PC ports everytime, ESPECIALLY with GTA IV. However, this time around is a different story. Rockstar developed this game partially in parallel with the console versions rather than sloppily porting the game from the console version over to PC. They did a phenomonal job.

PERFORMANCE:
I have a GTX 970, i5 4690k, and 16gb's of RAM. I am able to max basically all graphical options while achieving a solid 60fps. This excludes high res shadows, extended distance detailing, and whatever else is included in the Advanced Graphics page. These options eat up performance for little value in return. If you have a lower end system that meets minimum specs, you will have no trouble running this game as long as you do not mind turning some settings down.

THINGS TO NOTE:
- The PC version seamlessly integrates Gamepad play, so you can use your keyboad for shooting and your controller for driving and find no issues switching over while you play.
- You can add your own music to a custom radio station which is traditional for PC versions of GTA. I'm glad they carried this over! However, many people are running into performance issues such as texture pop-ins and major framerate decreases when listening to the custom station deemed "Self Radio". I have not ran into any of these issues.

All in all, this is, with no contest, the definitive version of Grand Theft Auto V.

Lots of fun, a friendly shooter that takes you by suprise!
Tons of community weapons and content, fun servers, this game can be molded into anything you desire out of an FPS.
