As someone who's bought the game on 360 back when it was only available on those generation of consoles, it was a very well made game.

It still is a great game; why do I not recommend it then?

The Online. It can be fun, but as a lot of other players said, to experience all of the new content that's added. You have to play and play this game for days and weeks on end just to get what you want without buying the Shark cards. Perhaps you could call it "pay to win", but you're not really "winning". Instead, you're just paying actual money to get in-game currency just so you don't have to waste an insane chunk of time to experience what the newer updates have to offer. I'm not a huge online player, and I've never gotten beyond Rank 30 on my 360 as I liked this game more for the singleplayer aspect of it. Sadly, there's only so much you can do before it's too boring and you want something more. Suppose you want to install mods; well, that's great...for a while. Again, that eventually gets boring overtime.

Then there's the cheater problem. When I do play online though, I'm not playing on a public session anyways, so I've not experienced any cheaters. However, there's tons of reports from others saying that there's absolute TONS of cheaters just spawning in tons of cheated money. I don't know if you'll get banned randomly or not. Rockstar said that you won't as long as you didn't ask for it, but people said they've been banned for no reason.

I really suggest that you don't pick this game up unless it's on a heavy discount. Many of you already played the singleplayer anyways, and it offers very little more features compared to the 360/PS3. If you want to play Online and you're thinking that you're going to get all of the content unlocked very quickly without tedious grinding, think again. I'm only like Rank 10 on the PC version since I never wanted to pull my data from the 360 anyways, but I really don't have the time to sit there for days and days, and neither do others, playing this game to rack in a few million even though everything newer costs well over that few million.

Pretty much, Rockstar kind of trashed the Online aspect by making it very tedious and pushing you to buy their Shark cards for money that still won't pay for a lot. I'm sorry, but you gotta pass on this game if you've already did everything on singleplayer on a console. It's not worth $59.99.
