[HOLD]

Grand Theft Auto has always held a place in my heart. Back when i first picked up a copy of GTA 3 I was blown away, and every game after that i loved dearly. But when i finally got around to playing Grand Theft Auto 5 I couldn't help but be disappointed. Don't get me wrong the game is still good (at least the story mode is) The soundtrack is great as most Grand Theft Auto games have great soundtracks. And the visuals looked fantastic, it felt like a believable city. The story was alright, my only real complaints with it is that it was really short, and mostly driving to point a to b and then back to a. That and Grand Theft Auto 5 is missing quite a bit of what Grand Theft Auto 4 had, with physics being dumbed down and the car handling broken. (cars in gta 5 all feel the same, all luxury cars with supercar like acceleration even on thing like a family sedan) But that's not that bad compared to the online aspect. The Online mode to this game that Rockstar always promotes is not great. At all. With load times being around 10-ish minutes, and frequent disconnects the game can be borderline unplayable sometimes. The online is 𝐩𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐧 and is not fun to play at all, as a new player you are constantly thrown around by modders who Rockstar does not punish or even make an attempt to fix. This and the fact that Grand Theft Auto online is not a GTA game, with flying motorcycles that can shoot 4 rockets per second, tracer bullets, explosive bullets, invincible cars, flying cars, homing missiles, and so much worse the game plays like an eight year old's dream. Not a Grand Theft Auto title. If i'm going to be honest here I would downright say that Grand Theft Auto Online is more of a Saint's Row clone than anything else. If you were looking for a Grand Theft Auto Online experience that fits with what the series has been for 20+ years, I would reccomend modding this game and getting the 5m mod, Or you could get San Andreas Multiplayer (better in my opinion) what is essentially GTA with 300 other players. It's disappointing such a series has fallen so far I think I may never play the next Grand Theft Auto game (if it ever comes out) because if this is what Grand Theft Auto is now,
