Updated review at 400 Hours: GTA V has grown a lot over the years my original review (as seen below) had a lot of frustration behind it due to factors such as how long the game took to load, being unable to join a lobby without trolls either leaving during a heist or doing nothing and the matchmaking system for official rockstar created jobs just being horrible. etc.
As things are now there are far fewer trolls and the matchmaking does seem to be a little bit better. Rockstar has added a lot of content over the years that does require some grinding and
they do have huge replay value. When doing events especially as a new player don't expect to be doing anything the "right" way. I will go ahead and say that every heist, every mission can be done in an unofficial way that makes everything much easier, quicker and simple so do your research. When it comes on to making money there are tons of business you can have running that can give you thousands of dollars in very few hours and with the right combination of business you can potentially make millions. Just do your research.

Rockstar has also taken steps to prevent huge cash drops in-game by hackers so you won't just be getting millions on top of millions when you join a lobby with hackers. Speaking of hackers there has been a decrease of hackers running around and when you do run into one they are very chill just messing around doing visual effects, weather change, money drops etc.

Overall the game has gotten better and is a lot of fun to play don't worry about leveling up after level 150 in my opinion just focus on making cash, doing heist, challenges and getting the businesses.


Old Review at about 135 hours:
Story mode = decent loved it and enjoyed it.

Multiplayer: Horrible horrible horrible, the game is built fro trolls, literally!!!!! The matchmaking system isn't even a proper matchmaking system. For example, if you click on the quick job option and then survival it puts you into a stupid lobby like some stupid parkour racing crap, you're telling me that out of the 40k+ ppl playing daily I can't join a lobby of survival or team vs team or regular race? Like wtf??? What happen to server browser for official rockstar servers where it counts towards your RP and actual cash? The game is unfun and stupidly made. It has great mechanics but highly lack action and enjoyment and no playing with friends ain't that fun either when you know how your friends play to the core,
I need that RNG from ppl to bring excitement. Poor poor poor poor matchmaking. And why!!?? Why in the developer's name does there have to be a loading screen that can take up to 5 minutes for every friggin thing? Some of the scenarios where a loading screen occurs sure as hell doesn't need a loading screen.
