I’m playing it on PS5 and after 5+ hours into the game I can say it runs smooth, no bugs for me and both the story and gameplay are very enjoyable.
I can’t understand fans going crazy because of the release delays and when it’s out, then they complains becuase is buggy? I won’t also dig into graphics or technical aspects because as a gamer I just care about enjoying a good store that is complemented by a good gameplay.
Give yourself a try (specifically if you’re a GTA fan), dig into the game and make a decision. Don’t let the noise make you miss the opportunity to try it and enjoy it. Big open world game, stories well written, even for the side quests. And if you don’t like it..., return it, but at least you’ll decide on your own and not because someone else told you.
